Cimber posted:Will saves that are made in experimental roll over into general updates? Yes, saves always carry over from experimental to the public branch and also continue to function between major updates. I've gone back and loaded up saves from Update 3 just to see if they still work and all the machines are still running without issue.

Got my first opportunity since blueprints released to sit down and mess around with them. Is anybody else having issues using the elevator floor hole in their blueprints. I use them basically everywhere in my builds, but blueprints don't appear to play nice and the resulting elevators are kinda hosed up. My first goal was to do some blueprints with stations. Stations themselves are too big for the box, but I figured I could place things like elevators and buffer storages ahead of time, then I could come in and drop in the station itself and all I'd need to do was place the connecting belts, but the resultant elevators are super buggy visually. I don't know if they actually worked because I was a bit disheartened at the results and gave up after trying a few tricks (like spacing the elevators further apart, etc).

I use them basically everywhere in my builds, but blueprints don't appear to play nice and the resulting elevators are kinda hosed up. Conveyor lifts have been visually buggy in like 4 different ways in this round of experimental. The test I would do is use your blue print, save, exit, load. If they look right after that, it's just ignorable visual weirdness. I can't speak to any floor hole issues myself because I don't use them in the intended way. If I have an elevator that wants to go through a floor, I put down a floor hole but don't connect the lift to it. Just pull the elevator straight through to wherever it's going. You get the visual of stuff going up into a black hole instead of clipping into a floor... but the lift is a single item instead of two. And you never have to worry about how floor holes have been a frequent source of bugs or weirdness ever since they were added.

Update 7 is out. https://steamcommunity.com/games/526870/announcements/detail/3612480005956012513 Conveyor ceiling attachments, wooo. Also gas plant things still emit gas in passive mode, but I expected that. Cant negate a whole process line.

Clark Nova posted:Can you unlock everything playing as a vegan or do you have to go beat some passive critters to death? There's a hand slot and a 6 inventory slot upgrade in the MAM that you need critter corpses to get. Aside from that, the explosive rebar ammo stacks to 100 while nobelisks only stack to 50. So maybe there's a reason to carry around a rebar gun even in passive mode? OTOH the spitters & hogs take damage from poison gas now, and it's not uncommon for them to die from it. They still drop the corpse item when they die from gas. So you could play a 100% pacifist run and unlock everything by watching for aliens that die from sniffing farts. (There are some pretty funny spots where this happens -- I recently climbed to the top of a big rock pillar that had poison gas and hogs on top guarding a hard drive. That would have been nasty in the past: do you have a gas mask for the poison, or a jetpack / parachute to not die from fall damage when the hogs knocked you off the side? Now the hogs are running around in panic when I got there, then they all fall over and die.)

Man with Hat posted:Anyone else having the game crash on startup or is that something on my end? If you have mods that aren't compatible it may 100% crash on startup before anything is displayed. Looks like the latest version of Daisy Chain Everything says "U7 compatibility" so in theory it should work I guess. edit for content:   Satellite refinery to make a bunch of petcoke for high-volume steel foundries, and a side of packaged fuel which will run some trucks collecting resources from the north forest into a future Big Project. (And there was extra oil, so I threw in some generators. The fuel production is just turning heavy oil into residual fuel, so not terribly efficient. But those 5 gens will be max OC when it's running full, so it more than covers its own cost.) Blueprints turned out to be almost completely useless for this project! I picked this one to work on since U7 since I had all the fancy new blueprints for refineries. But between one thing and another, I think only 6 of the refineries were made with blueprints. The lesson of this project is that blueprints are sometimes more picky about machine boundaries than normal construction. Klyith fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Dec 7, 2022 |

I seem to remember something about them drawing closer to release Don't think they said anything about it being the final update, but I wasn't watching the release stream. Though I'd think if they'd said so it would be on the reddit etc. Also after U5 they switched to faster updates but less new content schedule, so they're not as "major" content updates. Update 6 revamped equipment & weapons, 7 has the blueprints. If there's an 8 it'll probably also be just one new thing. I believe they've said they're pretty much set with everything in the production zone (recipes, balance of resources, most of the tech progression, etc). vvv edit: critters don't have fall damage, unless that also changed?

Haha, was harddrive hunting yesterday and with my jetpack landed on an outcrop halfway up a spire. As I am sitting there deciding on whether to jetpack further or platform up I see a spitter plummeting to the ground. It must have detected me and charged when I wasnt even up top yet.

Just found out that rails in blueprints don't auto connect. Boy that sucks. Thankfully I didn't get too far into my infrastructure project before I found out so I don't have to replace too many rails. I created a decent number of rail blueprints, nothing crazy just straight sections of single and double tracks. Going to go through and remove all the rails because I'll have to place them all manually anyways. In-ability to autoconnect rails, belts, and power is a huge deficiency in the system they created. Not the end of the world - I'm already saving so much time with the system - but man... rails not connecting automatically is a downer.

When you say they don't auto connect do you mean if you put two blueprints side by side they don't count? But if you have a blueprint with rail stuff you can connect to that rail piece manually? The blueprint space was too small for making roundabouts anyway so the only thing I was thinking might work for blueprints would be elevated connection points.

CainFortea posted:When you say they don't auto connect do you mean if you put two blueprints side by side they don't count? But if you have a blueprint with rail stuff you can connect to that rail piece manually? Yes and yes. If you create a blueprint with, say, a 36 meter straight piece of track, then place that blueprint one after the other (in blueprint snapping mode or default... I used both), the resultant rail segments are physically connected, but not logically. I ran into this while placing rail blueprints and connecting them to a station I built. I thought it was a bit weird that all the track I had laid with blueprints was unpowered in spite of being connected to the track so I built a locomotive and welp, it stopped immediately at the first blueprinted segment. I deleted all the track and rebuilt it. If you build a rail segment in a blueprint, you can connect to it manually and you'll be fine though. Yeah, I'd have liked to make pre-made turns and such, but it's tough with the blueprint space being too small.

Gotcha. The only thing I had even considered using blueprints for with tracks were roundabouts and putting side by sides on pillars and then just connecting them normally. And I'm pretty sure roundabouts are too big anyway.

Ice Fist posted:Yes and yes. The other thing is that your rail segment needs to be short and at the start of the blueprint. If you make it too long and try to connect them after placing down a few blueprint copies you get a 'track segment is too short' when trying to connect the blueprint tracks. That was annoying after i laid down 15 blueprint copies of my train tunnel. Frankly if you just skip laying track and lay it manually later its just as efficient, using the lines in the floor as guides. I also made a point to put a wall support for hypertubes, makes getting from station to station a lot easier.

In previous Fixmas events, you could craft snowball ammo for the detonator. Those stacked to 500 instead of the regular ones that stacked to 50. Do they still do? If so, I highly recommend people to produce a couple of thousand of those, as the recipe disappears while the ammo sticks around.
