Space Platforms get very slow to build constructions when they get big. Take a look at my Fusion Cube for what I mean.

Also, a blueprint is attached for Fusion Cube if you want to build one in a sandbox.

So, I recently found out that biters can hatch in space. I also recently found out that biters hatching in space means they destroy the spaceship. Wondering why they didn't immediately die due to being, well, in space, I went and dropped a few eggs down on Vulcanus.

Biters seem perfectly fine with ...

Nice


...though I was hoping the railgun would make more of a thunderous lightning-powered bang:

I expect someone will make that a mod

Nice, now do heatpipes!

Okay, so the thing you all did with fluid pipes in the previous FFF - can you do that with heatpipes?

Me want glorious nuclear fission reactor with good cpu that doesn't have the janky old pipe-like black magic physics

On steam and temps

It would be interesting to see:

Closed-Loop Steam Turbines
Radiators

The current problem it looks like with spaceships and nuclear reactors is that the way steam generation works, it's an open cycle system. The generators vent steam when they make power. If there was a way to ...

Okay, you know what? I like the idea of simplifying this... and why?

UPS

I know some of you don't care about UPS... but listen, not everyone that plays this game is running on a Ryzen X3D or an Intel i9-13k or whatever.

One of the big dissappoints I've had over time is how servers always switch ...

FINALLY

I've been waiting for this ever since pipes were earmarked to be improved post-1.0

As for everyone here that somehow prefers the old system to the new one, I only have this to say:

Excellent!

Now do pipes!

I'm so hyped with this update !! I already see myself angrily alt+f4 the game because I couldn't figure the correct ratios to avoid spoils then get back at the game 5 minutes after because i'm already addicted :mrgreen:


Oh no. I can already see a mod that makes everything spoilable ...

I was surprised that mashing fruits only yields solid products, rather than any liquid juice. I figure fluids don't play well with the new spoilage system, but everything about Gleba screams to be covered in a mass of labyrinthine pipes! The biochambers especially seem kin to the chemical plants ...

Let me put a few pennies into the ideas here...

Inserters

Instead of having inserters chase items, have the inserter arm "ambush" items. It sits between the two lanes, and "catches" the item as it comes along. This keeps inserters from chasing items, and allows even burners to grab items on a blue ...

One quick nitpick: In the evacuation stage it asks me to pick things up. But I'd already picked up everything I wanted in the previous step.


If there is nothing left to take, the quest should auto complete. Ill look into it.


I did the same thing.

Game: "Prepare to evacuate"

Me: " Packin ...

Oh, almost forgot to mention. The bounding boxes for the diagonal cliff edges are too big. If you look at my save, you'll see places where I had to move belts 1 tile over because I thought they would build across visually, but apparently I can't squeeze a belt in with a couple pixels between it and ...

So, I played through the intro once again. Cleared the map of biters eventually. I see they spawn in on the left constantly as well.

Nice easter eggs in the map.

Oh, and why should I build walls when I can just make walls with buildings? Dragon's Teeth Furnaces works better, because I don't have ...

Harryh24, decon planner'ed the whole map

Anaxes now. Seems someone is really insistent on griefing my server. Well, then.
