As a fellow Gleba disliker, I tend to disagree, that it is hard to debug a Gleba factory. I'd say it's just that it is the first factory after oil, which can fail by running long enough.
I'd say, as soon as you get the concepts going, it's fairly reasonable. The only couple of times where it ...

I have a gut feeling that a grid of heatpipes will be a nightmare performance-wise. On large reactor setups they do take a significant amount of processing power.

I love it, it's a bit hard to remove filtering, but that is not an operation that is needed often.
Would be great if it was the same for inserters.

Oh, okay then. Yeah, systems-wise SA brings a lot of new fun stuff, totally agreed.
And yeah, youremember correctly, I did perefer vulc, and left gleba for the end. I didn't like the continuos flow stuff, absolutely.

No need to throw around empty accusations. There is nothing complicated in spoilage. There is literally is not even a way to do JIT-logistics cross-planetary for them, where the real complexity would be at.
I shut down gleba production completely, and enable it on-demand, that is more complex than ...

Eh, I would not say that there is any sort of consensus of course, or "people drop the game because of gleba", that would be absurd/in bad faith, imo as well.
I just find it interesting to observe, that there is indeed an observable difference between the planets.

It is the most difficult(in ...

the impression of a consensus when it's not the case.

"Statistics don't say anything, but cherrypicking random discussions says a lot", can't make this up

I saw interesting numbers posted in the other thread:


The steam achievements speak 1000 words about gleba.

Visit Vulcanus: 5.0%
Research with metallargics: 4.4%

People who landed on vulcanus and didn't finish it this run or in the future = 1 - 4.4/5.0 = 12%

Visit Fulgora: 4.3%
Research with ...

There is no reason not to install steam, especially seeing how you can buy the game directly from the devs, and still enjoy steams comfort.
It's an opinion thing, not an indicator of anything. Of course, it would be way nicer to have stats across all platforms, but that's not gonna happen

Interesting stats, sure would not have expected that big of a difference.
I wonder if/what 2.1 will do with gleba. I still have not had the urge to touch SA after reaching Aquilo, uncontrollable gleba-nauvis logistics are still the biggest factor right after general annoyance of Gleba.

This has been discussed to death here, if anyone is interested in arguments/ideas to be had:

It was implemented, because speedrunners pre-shipped rockets, bulllets and all the other good stuff and won the game on the final beta test. Stack sizes for ammo were cut in half and shipping made expensiv(er) than it was.

Yes, I just tested. They wander around and don't do anything. Not sure if it was always like this.

Yeah, I am convinced as well that this is the reason asteroid crushing rerolls are still in, so that ships can reliably craft quality ammo for the flying factory aspect.
The dropping from orbit is an unintended side-effect.

Glad that shipping ammo to platform, or asteroid storage did not get hammered, and we get a lot of diversity there.

We already have them in the form of tanks. It's 2x3, blueprintable, and placeable on even non-grid locations. It can defend itself with PLD. It can even be carried over belts. It has middle-click per-cell item pinning and expandable inventory space. It can request items and trash unrequested ...

Containers with 2x2 footprint trivialize a lot of the current builds.
I have played in 1.0 with the containers in space exploration, and basically as soon as you get 2x2, any covarex-like setup becomes trivial, especially with "trash all unrequested". It would make neater-looking malls though :D
