That's very impressive. How aggressive are the bugs?

Shale oil is a crafted item. FNEI is invaluable for that sort of thing even though it's a bit cumbersome for certain recipes such as ash or biomass. The in game help helps with the biomass and everything that doesn't have a fuel value seems able to be burnable to ash. The natural gas, crude oil, and...

I'm testing a new start with biters but I find it's very difficult to get the settings where the bugs are a challenge but don't crush you. Another issue is I started with companion drones and those are pretty OP with bugs. I think a couple early turrets added to the game that didn't use lead based a...

Nice write up and nice job. The mod is crazy big isn't it?

It looks like you didn't bother with trains. That's even crazier.

You folks have a target sustained science rate that is feasible? At the moment, I was seeing if 1k/min was doable but space is absolutely nightmarish compared to the others. One of the lead contributors(?) to the pysuite is working on a 300 spm build with all tech unlocked and building in creative ...

Mostly salt, then guts and blood. A tiny bit from an ancient process when tar could be created from stone. So far used 191 M salt and produced 246M HCl.

I was looking at that. The Mk 4 buildings and Mk 4 modules make it possible for everything up to Utility. At Utility and especially Space the numbers get ridiculous and that's a bit of a shame because there's no point in using the later techs such as fusion, Mk buildings, or Mk 4 modules if the goal...

With the upcoming big release, will the space science be adjusted so it can be made in quantity? With latest update my current base no longer makes space science and I was hoping to fix and expand that but if I am not mistaken the current recipe for space science is quite expensive. Mainly dealing w...

Thanks for the response. I was curious cause I was ramping up to see if 1k science is possible and I was trying to eke out productivity wherever possible.

So I see that there are a variety of modifiers that are applied to the buildings. One of them is a consumption modifier. When selected it doesn't seem to be actually reducing the consumption of the process. Is there any way to confirm if that's the case or not? I think I see the answer. It's energy ...

How big is too big of a screeenshot?

Is that a hint at an invasion?

Most definitely. Great work! So many cool ideas. I'm having to fight the urge to try with bugs.

That I'll do once the new PyAL gets patched. I can only play for a few seconds before getting a fatal error. I waited to after satellite launch to update the PyAL to the latest. Strange thing is, even selecting the earlier version doesn't allow me to play for more than a few seconds either. That sai...

I have a few thoughts after launching satellite in Pyandon mods. First is that I have to commend the mod makers for some pretty good work. The models, concepts, and overall execution were very high quality. At first some of the chains and concepts were a little confusing but after a bit of play it m...

Finally launched a satellite with PyAL. It was rough. Mods used the full Py suite, construction drones, dectorio, FNEI, Factory Planner, Squeak Thru, Long Reach. The last two I installed about a 1000 hrs in. It was quite tough and the base is beyond ugly. I will post thoughts on mod set tomorrow aft...

Yes, and it has been painful. Close to finishing utility science and some of the updates have been major delays.

How far do you plan on taking your base is the question I'd figure out first. If you plan on a rocket with satellite expect a decent size facility of practically each life form. I'm working on completing utility science at the moment and the base is immense.

Yeah, losing warehouses full of plates, ore, intermediates, etc. without warning is very annoying. In the future, a head's up with regards to changes that actually delete a ton of material would be useful.
