The narration retreads what the visuals are already doing - that Fulgora has lightning, Vulcanus has lava, and Gleba has pentapods.

Exactly my issue. I don't want a talking trailer when the main trailer showed how much better a mute one can be, but if you have to have speech at least write an ...

I'm not a fan of the narration, this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8SBp4SyvLc and it's iterations click much better. And the narration flatout saying the features of every planet instead of showing them and letting people be intrigued feels off too. We couldn't tell there's molten lava, strange ...

I don't think a high velocity entry is good for such a capricious design as a railgun. Could work for a coilgun though.

The railguns dropping shells like artillery is a cool detail but may be misplaced, they would use discarding sabots. But maybe the shell is just a matryoshka doll encasing the sabot encasing the bullet.

What you should be able to do is irrelevant, if it's possible at all to softlock yourself there someone is going to do it

You can already softlock yourself if you mine out your starting patches while all others have biters on them. You can softlock yourself before the game starts by setting ...

Can I give a suggestion? I absolutely adore the snowy graphics. I can see why rails don't freeze over as it would be annoying to run a heatpipe along the whole length of a rail line.
But imagine how cool it would look to have the rails freeze over visually even though they aren't affected ...

This is some great stuff, I always thought Gleba is the most interesting planet even if it's not the most optimal pick.
Now If you make the biochamber able to process chem plant recipes with bonus speed/prod, Gleba might actually be competitive with Vulcanus and Fulgora.
It feels like at the point ...

You said "Since the only reason you would build in it's territory is to kill it". But isn't a second reason to get the resources in its territory? That is what I am not understanding in your argument

The reason you're killing it is to get the resources. You have to kill the the ...

I'm confused by this post. You know, you have to kill the demolisher to access the mines. Or else the thing from the FFF will happen.

I have some thoughts and suggestions on the demolisher. I really hope someone reads these posts lol.

An issue I find with the demolisher is that interacting with it isn't very dynamic, it's just black and white. Either you build in it's territory and get attacked, or you don't and you don't. Since ...

Wormers? Spewers?

How is that better as a pollution type ? x)

It was joke, I put smiley faces on the end.

And yeah I can see them going with the EM pollution increasing storm power thing, but again that would be rather disappointing. Since you can 100% lightning proof a part of your factory with a lightning rod ...

Thunder !

How is thunder a pollution type? That's an environmental hazard, not something you produce...

I was thinking maybe cultural desecration pollution, robots getting angry at you ransacking the archaeological sites of their builders/victims :P :P
Or maybe anti-pollution? Since a lot of ...

Each planet having it's own pollution type sounds fun
Nauvis - Biters - Pollution
Gleba - Pentapods - Pollen
Vulcanus - Rock Monsters - Vibration
Fulgora - Robot Warforms - ???
Aquilo - The Floating Brain Thing - Heat

However there is something seriously wrong with the new spidertron walk cycle ...

These are cool, these will interact really well with the nuclear artillery mod :D :D :D

So it seems these can't really be used the same way nixie tubes from mods can, which is a little disappointing.

The space age expansion releasing on the 21st october for 35 USD will feature the quality mechanic. There is one crucial thing about this mechanic that everyone would be happy if it were fixed.

Reread the post you quoted...

Also, why harvesting the fruits removes the whole tree? This is not how the fruit trees usually work.

Could be a plant that only fruits once in its lifetime. Kinda strange for such a plant to bother with being a tree which favors longer sedentary playstyles, but considering how full of life ...

'Spoilage'? Haven't these people heard of fridges and freezers?

Freezing kills all the cells. There's a reason blood bags and cell lines aren't kept on ice.
Chilling only slows it down, so you might as well just assume it's already being done in the abstract. Or the bacteria are REALLY ...
