Re: Starved via Throughput

I never thought about it before but up until now I've almost never even considered storage. I pump out materials and use them as soon as I get the chance, creating less a factory and more one massive assembly line. Which is definitely not practical at all. That'd never work in a real scenario. Gosh,...

Re: On the physiology of Biters

The hive model seems to fit the Biters best, as it suits their insectoid anatomies as well as their drone levels of intelligence individually and expendability, but at the same time the idea of a "queen" leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Currently the game has only the drones and the hive...

Starved via Throughput

Every run it happens to me at least once, generally two or three times: my system's run thin and my factory has ground to a crawl. Stuff I need isn't showing up, things that are getting priority resources really shouldn't, research stops, the system struggles for balance. It's frustrating when I'm t...

Re: The motherland must expand!

Holy mother of pollution. No wonder the biters get so mad.

How'd you even get that much buildup anyway? Do you have like 500 boilers?
