Re: Ban quality modules from asteroid crushers
I don’t know, I just see no point to the quality mechanic existing if getting the items isn’t “hard”. Designing recycler lines that are thoroughly clog-proof, scaling up the base to provide the common items (which with itself brings the requirement of designing scalable designs), scaling the base ...

Re: Ban quality modules from asteroid crushers
I'mma be honest coffee, your posts are getting more and more deranged, and less understandable. Is this an AI sockpuppet of Romayne's, or just ESL? I don't understand half of this last post. It's all english words but they're not being combined quite right.

those are not mods that ban quality modules in crushers, but only for the reprocessing receipe.

No, it starts to happen at mining productivity 238 on my machine.

Re: Ban quality modules from asteroid crushers
Well, why would try I Gleba with it's 15000 HP enemies instead of the big mining drill. Particularly if you're worried about UPS. Because every chunk is going to be interacting with spores. So if you push it far enough, you're bound to be in a tight spot when you go to scale that up.
If you ...

I guess you never tried quality on Gleba, you should ! that helps a bit to understand the different options players have, before asking for some to be removed :twisted:

Re: If you could land on the Shattered Planet, what would it be like?
The core of the planet is where all the gravity is. That will pull heavier elements down. So, the sky's the limit. Because we don't know what promethium is, and what it's elemental properties are. So we don't know what is there.
Heavier elements could include things like gold, or uranium. Gravity ...

It appears to me that those are not mods that ban quality modules in crushers, but only for the reprocessing receipe.
It’s the same intention, just poorly executed. And the first mod, “no quality cheesing”, actually did implement this in an update, it’s just poorly documented.

Re: Ban quality modules from asteroid crushers
Agreed. Legendary science is like Chekhov's gun. If it exists, it should find a use. It's more canon than recycling grenades or blue undergrounds :)
For me it's a bit deeper. There's a logical fallacy in assuming you have an infinite amount of resources and the law of large numbers will somehow ...

Re: Ban quality modules from asteroid crushers
Blue underground belts, underground pipe casting, big power poles, foundry concrete… Surely with these, it’s easier to see how they have more substance than asteroid rerolling. Which, again, is basically the same as ore recycling but with a return rate of >40% instead of 25%.
I agree with the ...

Yes, shallow lakes (in the crater) are a great idea for Nauvis (as in the "Space Exploration" mod).

Re: New ideas after asteroid shooting UPS buff
I can see it for purple science. Forgive me, when I'm trying to track so many possible combos, it's pretty easy to miss a good one. At the end of the combo chain you're getting a huge bonus on stone if you use the copper fluid recipe.

Re: New ideas after asteroid shooting UPS buff
What I'm thinking about would be stacking on a massive set of quality bonuses. You'd be going for bioflux->nutrients because I see a chain of bonuses that could cancel out the cost penalties. It is something I'm going to try out someday for a laugh. Unless I see something come back which is 1 : 6 or ...

Re: Ban quality modules from asteroid crushers
Asking players to actively avoid efficiency and optimization if they want a better game experience is, IMO, a fairly significant sin in game design. Such a practice inherently makes for a poor experience for a lot of people.
This is especially true in a game that puts a fair amount of emphasis on ...
