A bit OT, but this confused me:

This can be a potentially soft-locking problem if the player is somehow stranded "naked" on Vulcanus, as without any other items Ashland trees are the only local source of fuel for Stone Furnaces to create plates required to progress further.

How could you get ...

Ah yeah, I can see that.

Thanks for adding it anyways!

Ah okay, thanks for the info!

As an update, today when I loaded my game I now have the Vulcanus briefing in my Tips and Tricks menu, although oddly the Heating Mechanics entry has moved from the Gleba section (where it first appeared for me) to the Vulcanus section. I don't know where it is intended to appear, possibly the ...

I am having this same problem with all 3 starter planets, including anything related to the space platform. Interestingly, I have an entry related to Aquilo even though I have not researched it, and it is under the Quality section.


Ah that's odd, I think I recall seeing other bug reports where ...

Yes, I had looked at that bug report (and a few similar ones) before submitting mine, but while they both involve the Alt+scroll shortcut not changing quality, they seem to be different problems (or at least have different causes).

In that bug report's case ...

Playing the current experimental 2.0.20 with Space Age on Steam.

1. What did you do?
I selected an assembler, opened the Circuit Connection tab/window, under the Enable/disable setting I selected the right-hand field (the field to the right of the inequality sign), then held the Alt key while ...

Thanks for the quick turnaround time!

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, I hadn't searched properly to find the existing report for this.

Playing the current experimental 2.0.20 with Space Age on Steam.

1. What did you do?
I selected a Radar to place, and looked at the minimap where it helpfully displays existing continuous radar coverage to decide where would be useful to place additional Radars.

2. What happened?
The minimap ...

It looks like this is already being worked on for an upcoming patch.

My understanding based on the tooltip for the "spoiled first" setting is that it only applies to inventories (e.g. chests, assemblers) and not belts.

in 2.0.19 I seem to be having the same issue, but with my 3rd visited planet, Vulcanus. The briefings for Gleba and then Fulgora seemed to work as expected.

I'm using the current experimental on Steam, 2.0.19

1. What did you do?
I researched the Vulcanus technology, traveled there on a space platform, dropped to the planet, harvested Tungsten & Calcite, built a Foundry and then a Big Mining Drill, and eventually some Tungsten Plates.

2. What ...

EDIT: I'm using the current experimental on Steam, 2.0.19

1. What did you do?
While currently viewing the Vulcanus surface, I used the editor (with the /editor command in the console) to Edit map gen settings on the Vulcanus surface shortly after landing on it. I have tried changing settings in ...

TL;DR
The game should make clear to the player that the Spidertron always has innate radar coverage of the area around it.

What?
A line could be added mentioning something like "automatically reveals the map around itself" to the research description (so the player knows before they already ...

You know what the problem is?
I tweaked values and costs for the 0.17 migration, especially those of the rocket fuel.
I forgot to tweak the same ones from enriched fuel... it should cost HALF as much Hydrazine as it does.
(To note: I did actually make a note that I should look into it when you ...

consider also that the tech levels for each fuel aren't really where I would want them...
In theory, this is how I would plan it:
Coal is no science
Solid fuel is yellow science
enriched fuel is red science
rocket fuel is blue science
nuclear fuel is purple science

now consider where things ...

Well I finally learned how to use the Helmod planner, and found out I miscalculated the energy cost for making the Nitrogen, but had actually calculated it too low, so it looks like it actually takes ~ 20.6 MJ to create an Enriched Fuel Block from 1 Solid Fuel & 800 Hydrogen, not 14MJ, so Enriched ...

Hi, just starting with your mod and loving it so far! Using all the latest "Bob's" mods I found through the ingame mod portal, along with Rampant AI, FNEI, and Helmod.

I'm not sure whether this counts as a "balance" issue, but it appears that making Enriched Fuel Blocks using Solid Fuel + Hydrazine ...
