When it's ready.

Potentially slightly before that.

You need to setup two of the base stations one on each end. Then you create "caravans" whish are creatures that will walk between the two points configuration on them. Place the caravan creature and set the start and end. They will then walk between the locations and carry 1 stack of items...

I have used them in the past. Brining product from a mining area into a smelting area. They did a good job at that but if there were train tracks, trains would hit them. Too many buildings they would get stuck etc. You really had to control how many guys you had transporting product and what things ...

PyAE or Factorio Expansion? :D (meant as a joke and just having fun with Py and KingArthur ) Well we have a name. All the details and getting all finalized and they're still deciding what all is in it. Unless they pull a hell of a lot of overtime I think we will win. Great to hear. Can't wait to pl...

Windows doesn't have the fork system call, which async saving is based on.

Thanks for the info, appreciated.

Not running a server. Single player I don't want to have to wait for saving. Reading through some of the questions / answers in that thread is appears for some reason they can't do non blocking saves in windows but they can on Mac / Linux. No real reason given, just that it can't be done. Really cur...

I'm really trying to understand here why the more complicated multiplayer system has asynchronous saving of the game state but in single player we have to wait for the auto save.

Can a dev explain why we can't turn on async autosave in single player?

I love the sound of artillary, I just wish the actually firing sound was A LOT louder. It seems too quite for the power it's pushing out.

Step 1: Install Py
Step 2: Uninstall Bobs & Angels

They overlap each other and you lose the balance that the authors intended.

Either play Bobs & Angels or play Py ... they aren't designed or meant to work together.

What is the best way to get a mod added to the ones you have in the system? Pyanodon's Alien Life has been released and would be great to have that in here.

Once I turn on the research Queue in my options let it stay on. I shouldn't have to remember every time I start a game to get set it again.

It's not really out yet.

That looks like an interesting generation model. Might be a little spread out, but not sure without actually checking it out in game etc.

....... For example i think, to my very personal taste, that resources are way too close, even if it's the intended way originally. There's no real objective reasons for that, it's just a matter of taste at this stage : i love very long distance train outposts in general. ....... Totally agree with...

Use RSO (resource spawner overhaul) that helps a lot with resource generation. Next I would turn off vanilla oil, Py has his own types and it doesn't make sense to have regular oil spawns with his. The rest of the resource settings you make the way you like. RSO will give you the base of what you ne...

A couple of other settings that I use: Biter expansion off This has the effect of still allowing spawned colonies to grow, but prevents nesting groups from encroaching on new land, or repopulating claimed land. Increased starting area This allows us to establish an early base, and research footing ...

There was a discussion in the PyAlienLife thread about biters with Py. I would like to have a discussion on biters with Py outside of that. So .. here are my thoughts I play with biters on in my Py suite. My last run I ended up having to disable them as they evoled too fast. There really is no way t...

Missed the stream but I will definately be watching the vod. Really looking forward to starting a new Py world once this mod is fully released.

it will come out this year. :) WOOT!! I stopped my playthrough a while ago when I saw you were working on this. Really looking forward to it coming out. Take your time and make yourself happy with your product. We are just hangers on that enjoy the workmanship that you put into it. Best part (not m...
