Man the special buildings really does break the game over your knee. It really does just end after you do your mystery.

Fortunately it's an easy fix, the game isn't broke it's just unbalanced. Just needs some tweaks to the functionality I think, probably vast staffing requirements and upkeep costs for each wonder, and replace the mohole with infinite extraction sites dotted around to encourage expansion.

That’s a real quality of life improvement right there. Also when (if?) Workplace filter adds traits that’ll be amazing. Although maybe less necessary post patch.

Chadzok posted:Yeah I'm on my next game now and rather than just mashing 'send me people goddamnit' I'm actually looking at all the flaws and traits which I wasn't paying attention to. I must have had a couple idiots in my last game because that's exactly what was happening. By default it does have "Idiot" turned off as far as I'm aware. The big issue is that I really don't know how to keep them from popping up in your colony later...and you really don't get a way to deal with them until you can afford a separate dome with a faulty life support system. Does giving children schools and playgrounds actually reduce the chance of them developing the trait? Also, the idiot flaw seems so hilariously out of balance with the rest of the flaws (hell I view "hypochondriac" as practically a perk since it makes doctor visits restore sanity/morale). I'd be fine with it dramatically reducing the dude's productivity at a job but "10% chance to break the building he's working in" seems way to steep. Especially when the response isn't "discovered in back alley with a 'self inflicted' set of stab wounds in back, cause of death determined to be suicide" considering how fragile your colony is played up as (which it really is).

FractalSandwich posted:The wonders are meant to be a big, expensive win condition. It's okay for them to be powerful. It's not very interesting though. I'd prefer them to be big expensive useful centerpieces as well as a reason to expand your colony. If they required hundreds of workers to operate then I'd find them more enjoyable. And I'd definitely prefer expanding across the map to increase my base resource income than just powering through on a few deposits, rushing the tech tree, then building the mohole and forgetting about it. It's a waste of capability and the otherwise really quite good design of how the buildings all fit together to just give you fairly easily acquired buildings that just turn off most of the systems in the game. The game supports massive colonies but there's no reason really to expand past a couple of hundred people and three or four domes. Wonders could serve as that reason.

The first biorobot on Mars finally emerged from the assembly line, ready to enter the Manosphere: Clearly someone made a mistake somewhere. Steadier hands designed the next:  But it was too late, the damage had been done. Mars now knew the touch of a (robot) woman, and more were to come. Edit: one of my robots just committed suicide from sanity loss due to working outside. Fortunately, she was an idiot. metasynthetic fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Mar 23, 2018 |

PSA: The Behavioral Melding tech (flaws cured via Sanitorium are replaced with perks) either does not work, does not work on robots, or has a high chance to replace with 'nothing.' I tracked 4 individual robots get cured of flaws and none of them got extra perks, and the rest of the general population doesn't seem to have gained any either.

GOG is sometimes better than Steam in all that all their old games actually work which isn't guaranteed on Steam. Steam is happy to continue selling stuff that's broken without extensive third-party patches.

Good grief, Radio Free Earth has some proper earworms. I never expected that the most memorable thing about a game about colonising Mars would be pop songs about surfing.

For my third game, I felt confident enough to play the Church, on a way harder map than before. I'm on Sol 80 right now, with no sign of my mystery yet, but I think I made it, thanks to a couple of free drone hubs from an anomaly, and the unmanned extractor breakthrough saving me from metal starvation. I'm thinking Russia/Oligarch is next, for something completely different.

I don't think I can play without rocket scientist anymore. Not having to stress over the shuttle tech's location in the tech tree is such a life saver.

It can also replace a flaw with Renegade, for extra fun! Edit: gently caress it, day 182, turned off the air to the childrens dome, the idiot containment dome and the old people dome. If this doesn't fix Mars, nothing ever will. Double edit: Old people can hold their breath for a REALLY long time and idiots are pretty much indestructible. Triple edit: thinking about it, this is easily the most evil thing I've ever done in a video game. King Doom fucked around with this message at 11:51 on Mar 23, 2018 |

The soylent green breakthrough would be less nefarious if you couldn't just put all idiot people into a dome and turn off the air.

Did you upgrade the Sanitorium in the upper right hand corner? It works fine in my game. I have a Fit, Enthusiastic, Celebrity robot who used to be a cowardly alcoholic glutton. I renamed him to Richard Simmons.

Yep, worth noting that any time you get a tech that says it upgrades a building, it almost universally means that you still have to pay for the upgrade on the building itself to activate it.
