I think that is fine because guaranteed safety would be boring.

+1, I didnt test them all myself but heard how stuff was broken. Stuff should not be broken.

Is anything in your PC overclocked? If yes, disable overclock. If no, check memory speeds/timings if they are set according to spec, try safe defaults. If still problems run a memory test.

Mass is the value which is always the same, a property of the space platform. Weight depends on the gravitational forces working on the platform, the platform will get a certain weight relative to a planet as a function of the platform's mass and gravitational force from that planet.

Maybe better wait until the game reaches a more final state. Big update is being worked on right now.

But tbh I would recommend playing the game on the PC where you are free to make as many physical copies of the game as you please on all sorts of media like hard drives, usb drives, optical discs ...

The game is about automation, you must use your early resources effectively to start automating things.

If you do it correctly you don't need to manually mine much at all.

Good find

The whole point of the brightness is to show the intensity of the polution in a particular area. I think the way it is currently is hard to improve on unless you have a very good idea how to do that of course.

Solar works on Aquilo, just extremly bad, barely enough to run a pumpjack and ice melting. From there on you can make power by burning solid fuel.


Yeah but how are you ever gonna leave Nauvis in the first place without solar panels? The space platform will not function so you will never be able ...

It's always the same with mmmPI, he keeps just spamming with nonsense arguments. He must have too much time at hand.

So I will hereby without even reading the thread declare that you are right and he is wrong, that will win us the time battle.

Can you? How will you bootstrap it without ANY electricity?

I don't know who edited this thread but my contribution was put in the OP, and wrong also:

"6. Solar panels should be a prerequisite for the Rocket silo, as solar panels are the only power source for all space platforms."

AFAIK you cannot bootstrap a space platform without solar panels.

Therefor ...

Thank you for the support, you put it exactly how it is. Yeah we lost something big there. I kinda gave up on Space Age mainly due to this, I find 1.1 to be a more fun game in general.

To me it proves you can add hundreds of gimmicks to the game but if the core mechanics which make up everything ...

This one is a bug tho:

Not needing solar panels to research space platform. Currently the only way to power a space platform are solar panels (I made a suggestion to allow boilers on space platforms with certain fuel types).

I'm also for allowing to mix input quality and letting output depend on quality of inputs.

I don't mean to sound negative or put anyone down. This is just how stuff goes in game development tbh, nothing to blame Wube. But yeah, they kinda mentioned they would come back to it. And some of us expected more from that.

You already just did yourself so that's great! People can judge themselves, enough has been said.

Let's have respect for the OP's thread and get on topic.

How do you define gameplay ? maybe there's a whole of things that needs be clarified , to me it appears that the reason you mentionned isn't gameplay related.


Oh it absolutely is. Building cool stuff and then seeing it operate is core gameplay for me and probably most other players.

This reply ...

I feel we're getting off topic here. Let me quote the key phrase of the OP again:

'I feel like the new fluid system is too simple, and as a result, offers very little of value in terms of interesting gameplay.'

As already proven by the replies, there are plenty of people agreeing with this ...

I wonder if it would be possible to have some kind of hybrid system.

I'm thinking of a system like in 1.1 but instead of calculating every pipe segment individually we would treat long end-to-end sections of pipe as one huge segment but somehow with the same flowrate properties as the section would ...
