Thank you for the update, I can't wait to try out the new build. Congratulations on this milestone, you all deserve to celebrate.

I had the idea that maybe the aliens use their own slave labor force to help collect resources for their bases. Maybe if you free the "alien slaves" they will follow you to your base and speed up production in exchange for one fish per ex-slave. This way maybe you could discover that certa...

Thank you! The development team has done a wonderful job here. This answers a lot of questions, great customer service. :) Glad to hear Paypal unlocked your funds, that must have been stressful. I know I'm revealed to hear it's okay. It sounds like the backers that currently have "tester" ...

Good idea, this is surely a feature destined for the final game.

Would you really need to disable the steam turret to prevent OPness? I think Electricity makes a more deadly weapon than Steam , but there is no reason you couldn't have both. In fact, there are lots of good turret ideas along these lines. - A flame-throwing turret - Tranquilizer dart turret - Mind...

Adding RPG elements to this game could take away from the unique gaming experience we have atm. It doesn't introduce anything we haven't seen before and would get in the way of doing what you want to do in this game which is manage resource flow and ensemble machines. If you want to add another dim...

Sounds nifty, but while the game is all about automating stuff, if you start to make basic things such as factory construction automated, the game will start going from constructing factories to waiting for the game to construct factories for you. I think it would work better as just a command chai...

This is a really cool idea. The more interaction between bases the better.

Turrets that do weak damage and have limited range would get destroyed by Creepers fairly quickly.

My suggestion is an Inserter that could take items and place them at at a 90 degree angle. http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/3931/36936204.jpg This idea would require a clockwise and counter-clockwise version.

Yeah, using rockets or driving a car into the them is a good way to take out turrets.

I think laser weapons would be fun to use but should have about the same range as machine guns (or Laser turrets).

Do Creepers slowly gain in strength, defense and agility as the game progresses? Creepers are challenging at first, but way too easy once you have a comfortable setup. Progressive strength, numbers and enemy types would be a good addition to the mix.

These "engines" that are part of a Power Plant. So performance makes less sense than Available Power vs Usage.

Agreed. I'd gift this game to one or two people.

Yep.

Abandoned means no one is around, because they left. Most likely it was made by aliens or other survivors of the crash that died.

We are sure we want to switch to less frequent releases and better testing cycle, most probably once per 14 days. Or maybe release bleeding edge updates as they become available, as was suggested somewhere on the Forum. I thought it was great having an update per week, but it's understandably stres...

Yes, this game really should be using a database like Bugzilla. There should also be a "test release" available to us before each official release. That way, people who want to test can do so and people who want to play a stable build can stick with their older version until the official r...

Those two pictures have made me realize how awesome burners are.

Trying it out now, thanks!

This should be

Energy Capability (or Output) and Energy Usage (or Drain).
