In the late game, the game surrounding the enemies becomes kind of monotonous, like mowing the lawn. Yeah you gotta do it, but it's repetitive and a chore that you just gotta do. Is there any talk in the office, even just throwing ideas around or whatever, about future plans for making enemies more ...

I've seen a lot of inside-the-box thinking in other threads surrounding this topic. What you want is an actually-good user experience. Starting a new game: 1. Click "create new game" 2. Select mods you want to use for the game (persisted from the last time you created a new game, and possi...

Perhaps in the meantime you could upload the zips somewhere? I'd love to keep playing my pre-0.13 save...

Yes please! My current savegame is missing a few mod updates...

Ok thanks. One other question- is there any non-tedious way to clean up the thousands and thousands of artifacts that pollute all of the walls outside of all of my mining camps? The best I've come up with so far is to take a whole bunch of robot bays, plant them in the middle of a used-up mining cam...

If I have a savegame with Bob's Enemies 0.12.6, is it safe to upgrade to 0.12.7, or will the changes mess things up?

I started with mods for the first time a few days ago. My recommendation: - Misanthrope (for more challenging enemy behaviour) - Bob's Mods (makes the game 10x as in-depth as it is in vanilla) - Resource Spawner Overhaul ("RSO"; for giving you an actual reason to make trains and use them e...

Friends and family have seen me playing it but they look at me like I'm a weirdo for thinking something like this is fun. One of my brothers got bored of it really fast. My other brother said it didn't look like the kind of thing he'd play. A friend of mine who studies game design doesn't see the po...

You know, since my last reply, I started using mods. I no longer feel as strongly about this idea, not because I don't think it's worthwhile, but because I didn't realise the extent to which I hadn't even scratched the surface of ways to extend gameplay in a way that promotes expansion use of trains...

After reading it thrice: Nope, I still don't get it. Everything in the game right now is geared toward building the rocket to leave. Nothing is sustainable. The whole game would have to change for the player to stay on that planet. That idea is wholly different from a market used to trade stuff for...

Now that you mention it :geek: So basically the premis is, that nobody gives a f*** about that guy who crashed on that planet. Sounds reasonable. You, the player, have nowhere to go. You have to fight your way out and pay for everything for yourself. The player is not stranded as in cruise-ship-pas...

But then again. When there is trade possible with somebody close to the planet why don't they just come and pick us up? I covered this in a big paragraph above! y u just post and no read? 5: This is somehow controversial and off-topic, but I thought a while before writing that: The time for games w...

The whole idea of the game is that you are alone on a planet with no access to anything except a small amount of iron, and a mining drill. The very purpose of it is to launch a rocket with a satellite. I feel what you describe would begin to have a meaning only after that. Even then, having to pay ...

TL;DR: Remove most technologies from the research screen. Introduce an galactic market screen offering contracts to fulfill, goods that can be purchased for exorbitant fees when necessary, and technology research papers to add to the research screen. To progress, you must fulfill contracts and spen...

I totally missed this thread.

I've looked hard through the forums but can't seem to find anything that really answers this question. Getting to what is currently "late game" is a pretty straightforward, though probably takes me 20-30 hours. I play with default resources but with the absolute maximum alien settings poss...

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'll have to check out the RSO mod. I'm a bit wary of mods adding ugly graphics to the game, but RSO doesn't do that, so why not?

In my latest game I decided I've learned enough and that playing on standard settings is kind of pointless, a bit like Minecraft. If all you want to do is build things for the hell of it, more power to you. I like a challenge however- something to struggle against and triumph over. I set the game to...
