The minimap bobbing is now fixed in Version 2.0.61 (but not the reach, which is probably still considered acceptable/intentional).

I think I linked the wrong post, i meant to link viewtopic.php?t=121897

Platform asteroid shooting got some improvements in the latest experimental. I’d be interested in seeing the save you’re referring to on the latest stable vs the latest experimental.


Nice to hear that promethium harvesting is becoming less of a bottleneck (for people making as much promethium ...

Even if the number of asteroid sprites is minimized, changing the recipe cost would further divide by 5 the number of ships required (or the width/size of behemoth ships). A player using 10 ships to achieve its SPM would only need 2 to keep up with other science packs, effectively dividing by 5 the ...

Thank you for your contribution, I added it to the table. I tested your ship and it works well. Did you know that crushers accept modules? Adding efficiency modules to your crushers would decrease your overall ship energy consumption by about 20%. Also, upgrading the electric furnace to Rare would ...

An infinite research could allow to grab from closest cargo bay.
Level 1: can grab from cargo bays directly connected to the landing pad
Level 2: can grab from cargo bays connected to the ones enabled by level 1
Level 3: can grab from cargo bays connected to the ones enabled by level 1-2
Level 4 ...

I would like to suggest a simple solution to reduce the impact of promethium harvesting (space platforms) on UPS.

Using KonTheTurtle's base on reddit as an example, a 2M spm non-promethium base can run at 55 UPS, but 1M spm promethium base only runs at 30 UPS (on his machine).

My simple solution ...

The devs can make the game the way they imagine it.

If people got addicted to "space casinos" and cry about the upcoming update, they can always download a mod that re-enables it. Or they could just cheat and create legendary items instantly, that's the same to me. No challenge.

Actually, I changed my mind. Promethium doesn't need a buff. Why? Because as infinite research gets researched, we need to do promethium research less and less often.

To optimize material output:
After you research level 23 research productivity, you would then research 13 levels of mining ...

Awesome design! Looks very efficient.

Too bad the promethium science doesn't scale well. It would be great to have an infinite research that scale like research productivity and that adds +10% promethium science productivity per level. Or being able to use the centrifuge/crusher to refine ...

Space platform are balanced with Space Age, which is intended to be used along the quality sub-extension, as it massively affects entities like asteroid collectors with range, arm speed, and adds many additional arms.

I'm reluctant to include ships with a different set of mod than the Space Age ...

Sounds like you're comparing 2.0 mods with 1.1 mods, and 2.0 mods with 2.0 vanilla. The title is a bit misleading / clickbait.

The mod forum may be a good place to discuss your experience with 1.1 mods and why you miss it in vanilla.

As other may have mentioned, pro prepare offline, and they spend 50+ hours per week playing the game. It's a lot of work and effort, and it's their job.

Has my megabase too which I should be proud of. However, I am not satisfied. I am still struggling


Playing a game is not to prove something ...

Thanks Amarula for that excellent feedback. I have updated the following:
Creator name and index column (to link the post below, as I believe that the code format doesn't render html links)
Defenses
Swapped x and y for sizes
Simplified Reach column and adapted description - good idea of using ...

I'll start by posting my ships!


Ship Name | Main mission | Tons | Size | Cruise | Avg | Cycle | Cycle | Reach | Energy | Cargo | Comb-
| | | | Speed | Speed | Mm | Time | | Source | slots | inators ...

This post is my humble attempt to create a list of ships (space platforms) and categorize them using standardized specifications (size, speed, reach, etc.).

There are already some space platform threads, however they're quite disorganized: behemoth ships mixed with stationary platforms, discussions ...

2.0.44 now allows to press SHIFT + SCROLL to scroll through the tooltip, so the "if ingredients fit into 1 line, display 1 line; if ingredients fit into 2 lines, display 3 lines" logic is much less of an issue now.

Does it means that I can finally know how much power my space platform entities consume? Hurray!

Edit: I downloaded experimental and tested it, it works! Shift + scroll

Great, I'll keep that in mind while I pretend that Aquilo enemies were implemented.
