So I got on for the first time in forever, and I was greeted with the sight of aliens overrunning the base and destroying everything in their path. There also seem to be various chunks of the factory missing, but I didn't get much of a look before I quit in a panic. Is this the sort of thing that wo...

One thing I'm curious about is how DPS is affected between regular and laser turrets because of how close to each other you can place them. With laser turrets, you can have two rows where all the turrets are crammed right next to each other and have a row of medium power poles right behind them. Wit...

Some people on the server are trying to claim I'm making the server way laggy. Here's a screenshot of me testing my ping to the server to prove otherwise.

Something might be wrong with the server. I'm checking my ping to the server with Command Prompt and it's saying I'm at about 80ms.

Maybe if there was a way to automate wood gathering like you can with ores, there could be a justification for a use for wood other than for low-tier fuel and early power poles. Even with construction robots and a deconstruction planner, it takes a while to gather wood in amounts similar to what you...

No, this is not a topic asking how I mine things, use the burner miner, etc. I recently bought this game, and from the videos I've seen it looks very, very interesting. However, every time I try to start a new game, I find myself constantly restarting before I even unlock steel production. The reaso...
