Vulcanus is the “rotten egg” of an otherwise really good expansion.

This was so provocative, I won't manage to not go offtopic here
It is literally the best part of the expansion, directly after the QoL stuff.

Amazing

Filtered item insertion is (imo) a challenge in games, where any item can be inserted anywhere and clog.
Since insertion does not clog on its own either way, I always experienced the filtered inserter as a detriment. It's not as straightforward a "detriment" as you imply it to be, when it is no ...

They would be absolutely viable, if you could void higher quality items in lower tier recipes, otherwise they are not manageable, imo.

The urge to play grows with music news

And the cherry on top, I personally heard Kovarex say, that when the game is "done" as in Wube does not want to maintain/care for it anymore, it shall get open-sourced, so there is that

1. Quality is punishing to experiment with. [...] If Quality items build up, they can cause a partial or complete shutdown of the factory. If a player decides they no longer want use quality, they need to go through and completely filter out all quality items previously produced. [...]

I'm in the middle of building a megabase, i have a question about efficiency modules. Is there a reason to minimize energy consumption of my machines on planets like Vulcan or Fulgora which have passive energy generation and no pollution/spores?

I guess the only limiting factor is the ups. So ...

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 ...

"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
