The resource movement seems not great (maybe it's buggy?). I was early on in the game, with a single dome, and a longer rail line to a rare metals deposit. I had an RC transport automated to pick up meteor resources, and it would often dump the metal into the monorail station at the rare metals deposit. And no matter how I tweaked the settings, I couldn't get any of that metal sent back to my dome. Rare metals were shipped just fine (outpost only sends, dome does not send) and I set metals to the same settings, but they wouldn't move. The two stations were in disconnected drone networks, and so I was depending on it to also move the materials necessary to maintain the outpost, but it would often not send machine parts and then the rail station itself would break down. Once I expanded a bit and got the drone networks connected they were fantastic at moving people. I was also shocked at how expensive the rails were, so they're probably not a "founders stage" thing like I thought they might be - that initial monorail line I built cost over 100 concrete, plus all the metal, electronics, and machine parts to build the stations and trains. Looks like it might be much more beneficial in the late game like Fuzzysocksucker demonstrated, or maybe as a way to spread to a second dome area before you've got shuttles, but oof you've better have a lot of concrete. As an aside, I just this morning realized that when you place passages between domes, you can click to route a path (just like with tracks) rather than having to carefully build domes so the passage automatically goes where you want it.

Fuzzysocksucker posted:Wait WHAT? Somehow inspired by the fact that you click to route tracks as you place them (saw that in a preview video) it somehow occurred to me to try it with the passage. I'm amazed that over years of playing I've never even accidentally clicked while placing a passage. Even reading the help text it's not super obvious that you could do that.

I've played this for years and how did I not know this.

Thought I was gonna have to demolish one of those turbines, but guess not!

I've had a few decide they could walk it themselves. It was after I'd opened my domes, so if they'd just grabbed a few extra bottles of water they might of made it. Relatedly, I had two colonists die from being struck by lightning in an electrostatic dust storm, that was a new one for me.

I like to make a horny dome where I put a dome next to a vista and fill it with people with the sexy trait, and forbid children and elders from living there. Just make sure you have a lot of school capacity, or be ready to forbid births quickly, because they will make a lot of babies.
