Also I can one-up that tale of hilarious failure. Not only did I not realize at first that I could link power plants together, I did not realize that I could use the remove tool on wires. Every time I linked too many things together and that section shut down, I removed a power pole and attempted to manually rebuild my connections. On more than one occasion, this resulted in me accidentally connecting something to the wrong pole and sending that one crashing, too. It was a MESS.

I didn't link my biofuel generators for my current playthrough even though this is like my third time starting over and I knew about the shared grid. I just had a brainfart and forgot. I also didn't know you could sprint until well into the coal phase.

Especially once you get blade runners. I cannot imagine walking everywhere in this game... let alone doing it at all.

Imagine what a pain in the arse this game would be if the power grid had to be a continuous circuit with the possibility for short circuits.

I was browsing the wiki looking for info on the upcoming content and saw some stuff for a hadron collider and quantum doodads and now I'm wondering how those would ever be implemented into a factory system.

25 hours in and I just realized you can tag your beacons and the tag will show up on your compass. Do'h.

And you were limited to two, and they competed with the compass and other HUD upgrades. Wild poo poo, man. That said, I do want simple signs that I can put up. Freestanding, on structures, floating in the air, I'd settle for anything. I've started color-coding for products in my structures, but it's just not as good as being able to produce labels. I hear there's also a map function in the works, and that will be very nice when it's done.

I just got the alternative recipe for screws and gently caress yes ingots straight to screws. Simplification of the production line!

There's more than one alternate recipe for screws but that is one of my favorites. I'm also a big fan of the alternative for reinforced iron plates that skips screws and just uses copper. I really hope they give you an option to home in on crashed ships eventually with that scanner...

Ingots to screws is a great early alternate, but after enough hard drives you don't need to make screws at all.

I smelt all my copper to iron ingots in foundries and all the remaining iron ore gets smelted to ingots. Then I just use those ingots for everything: Iron wire, Steel ingots, screws. Really makes your production inputs a lot easier. Who else is going to jump to the experimental branch coming out today? I've already got lines of Sulfur and Quartz connected to my base and I can't wait to see how the lifts work.

The alternate recipe are really overpowered. Seem to reduce the required amount of factoriesto produce reinforced frames by a factor of 3 when using one of the planning Web app and activating alternate recipes for: screw, encased bars, reinforced plates, modular frame, reinforced frame, etc.

All great, except my active save has its oil rigs out in a very distant desert-y area which may well be the area they talk about having moved oil deposits to the beach from. I would describe my main installation as being near a place which could be a beach, though, so I will load in and scan before abandoning to restart; being able to deliver crude via mk4 belt rather than a 2.2km truck route would be dope.

No it's only or hand slot items. Food, blades, and the chain saw. The mid slot is still just one item.

They're additional Hand Slots. That sounds like Blade Runners / Jetpacks / Parachutes / Gas Masks will still share a slot, but we might be able to stick the Scanner in our off hand while we use the Mammal Slapper with our main hand.

Taffer posted:Ah, that's good at least. Still need multiple equipment slots though. Yeah, there's no reason you can't have a gas mask and blade runners and parachute/jetpack at the same time. I can see making you choose between parachute and jetpack, because those would both be backpack slots (and I'd like to see an actual backpack option that increases your personal storage space), but I guess breaking up the "body" slots is farther down the roadmap.

Yeah, especially since if you're quick with the clicking, it's possible to jump with the blade runners and swap to the jetpack and start flying before you land again, taking advantage of the blade runner speed boost.

The new elevators are nice, but they are too wide to use with the 3-conveyor walls. Fortunately they go really high, and you can now easily run up two belts in a single foundation space.

It's possible to get the same effect with the existing parts, but it's tedious and ugly. If there is an input and an output on the same side, it could really simplify warehouse layouts.

I'd like a logic system so that it doesn't send materials down the line unless there's an object on the other end that will use them. When I first started, I had cargo containers with multiple inputs, and discovered that it made it a BITCH to use those containers to output anywhere else. Could make it an on/off toggle function, but it would be a pretty large quality of life improvement.

Haven't gotten to try out explosives yet but man, those vertical conveyors are awesome. No more dealing with giant networks of sloping conveyors and being able to change the direction of the input and output separately is a game changer for stacking production vertically. The addition of multiple hand slots also frees up much needed inventory space. The only thing I wish the vertical conveyors had was a built in ladder like the stack-able conveyor supports.
