I hope we can snipe the spawners for update 6. I don't like how right now you can shoot them from a distance but they still spawn their 3 flies.

Just build everything on floating platforms and come to the surface only to build resource extractors.

They removed the weird floating oil balloons from the oil nodes south of Spire Coast. This is unforgivable. I even named that train stop Petrofleur

Maybe do it so explosives kill it with no spawn. That would be a good reason to carry the new explosive bolt. The way the alien pod thing looks, I'm betting that it will be difficult to snipe because the "petals" will be armor. So like you'll need to hit it when the pod is open.

Do you wipe and restart every time a major update comes out? I've been playing 7 Days To Die for years now, and actually look forward to starting over. Without fail, the first half of every survival / sandbox game is my favorite part. I can understand not wanting to start new on a game as sophisticated as this, just wanted to hear what you do.

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:I've had the thing where buildings become blindingly bright for whatever reason, I think you can get rid of that by switching between DX11/12/Vulkan. Probably one of the more alarming bugs, it looks like something that would start happening if your graphics card was dying. Swapping to DX12 seems to have stopped it. In other odd bugs news I've never seen this before:  That red bit in the center is a 2D gif of fire on a few seconds loop. It's only visible from above, can't see it from ground level.

uPen posted:Swapping to DX12 seems to have stopped it. In other odd bugs news I've never seen this before: It's the flame effect from the top of a smelter/foundry. Sometimes it gets disconnected from the building and floats in the air, presumably when dismantling a smelter/foundry which was previously in that location. Been a while since I've seen it but it's happened to me once or twice before.

Yeah it's from a building you deleted. It'll go away with a reload.

I've never restarted other than to start a new game for just myself after playing a co-op save through tier 7 with a friend. I don't really want to restart for the new update, but I also have a fair amount of infrastructure in the canyon & spire coast. I'm getting worried that the redesign to those areas will make me unhappy with those builds. Also I have a bunch of builds that I'm kinda dissatisfied with anyways since U5, because I could do them so much better with the new cosmetics. However, I don't think that the first half of Satisfactory is the fun half. IMO, once you've done it the first time, the stuff up to the first elevator shipment is kinda lame. It's extended tutorial, any fun is from speedrun or sequence-breaking the MAM. It's the middle half that's the most naturally fun.

A restart is a chance to rebuild better and not make the mistakes you did last time, a chance to make fresh and new mistakes instead. I restart each time but I cheat in a handful of hard drive recipes because trusting RNG to give you the casted screws alt recipe is the least fun part of the early game.

You can also just move and start a new base somewhere else, with all the unlocks and convivences you have. If you want to do progression again, you can wipe that using the online map viewer/editor.

Release video scheduled for 5am tomorrow. :/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6bo0pjYghk "Join us as we count down to the release of Update 6 on Experimental!

Anyone know what the process for doing experimental on a dedicated server (steam) looks like? Really tempted to hop on the experimental rather then waiting for it to go full release like I usually do, but have no idea if it's going to be a hassle with how I have my dedicated set up.

It's just a matter of switching the tag from public to beta or whatever in the command line or gui, whichever you use Ofc I don't know how you can run 2 concurrent servers.... I had Issues trying to install from steamcmd anonymously

What's irritating (to me at least) is that Factorio always had a peaceful mode, even on itch.io. And the peaceful mod doesn't seem that hard? So why not a peaceful mode now? Maybe they'll have a total sandbox mode and put it in there? But that's not what I'd want. We'll see.

The reason they've given in the past is that they want people playing the same version of the game during Early Access so they can monitor responses and balance accordingly. I guess part of that is seeing how many people dislike enemies/combat completely, but it's like 3 years into EA at this point and people have been asking for a peaceful mode the whole time. Surely the programming behind it can't be much more difficult than changing some "enemies = no" line of code somewhere, it should just be added as an option in the menu somewhere.

I remember people talking about how to mess around with spawn settings to remove enemies, and they didn't have spawn settings to begin with either.

A peaceful mode in Factorio made sense to be implemented early because enemies in that game are proactive and actively assault your base. In this game once you clear out and start building enemies stop spawning around you and enemies become traversal hazards. I think more options to ease traversal would be a good thing so bring on a peaceful mode, but I can also see why it isn't a priority.

in factorio the hostile wildlife will gradually expand until everything outside your base is a sea of bugs and just exploring for a new oil well means wading knee-deep in the dead the whole way. in satisfactory if that one spitter thing at the mineral deposit kills you you respawn and run back and whack it with the taser one more time. the hostile wildlife that is there seems like more of a vestigial remnant of some earlier plan to have the default gameplay be actually non-peaceful
