you were so good at picking up/dropping your car to repair it while hitting biter bases, that I was surprised you never just picked up the car when you jumped out to keep yourself from losing it :} but it was funny every time "where's my car?" all the time

it is possible to burn off excess oil products with no production by feeding the fluid into a steam engine. Not an intended use of power generators, but it works.

I was dismayed to find myself neighbor to a MASSIVE thick forest, despite setting the map for bare minimum forests (would have set it zero if I didn't need a wood for the first power pole!) after setting water to minimum as well, I was surprised to have sizeable water around my starting area too. Ma...

my first genuine complaint: I really dislike the thin dark green trees...which are near invisible even during daytime against dirt terrain I find I am hunting for shadows of the trees which are slightly easier for me to spot.

am sure I'll have some genuine feedback at some point but.....

BRING BACK "Research Complete!" girl! how dare you take her from us!

I died on that level SO many times. Defender capsules was the key for me. Spam a ton of those and the SE base is far, far easier. In my successful run I did not bother with any sort of base at all, crafting only more defender capsules by hand. I made some use of the turrets as well, but it was mainl...

mmm, yeah I decided to finish my current 8.8 game before trying out 9.0...I'm hoping anything horrible will be fixed in that time, as a compromise to waiting weeks for an official stable release.

Looking forward to seeing the oil!

Even on playthroughs with full solar, it can still be worth it to build a backup generator. You never know when the neighbors are going to come and 'visit' en-masse and chew down your power reserves at night. Blackouts get ugly fast. A brown-out from too few steam engines will keep the turrets firi...

what? 16th? so sad, they do not luv us...no valentine's day present

heh I wasn't planning to play it until a more well tested version is released in a cpl weeks anyhow....although...I have to admit I'm curious about the whole oil thing...

Looking forward to that. I use the night vision, but it really takes getting used to, and I'd love to have a better option that is not obnoxious to look at through the night.

WOW! That's it! I finally get it...thank you!! cool, I might use this in my next game :) my current game I've already made the full switch to solar...but wow I like this. I'd love to use this during the transition from coal to solar, but I realized I have another problem to think about...my coal won...

I get lost pretty easy when there is too much already done for me, so I'm glad the campaigns begin very small as they do. I do wish the train level had a working train up, as I've actually opted to use belts instead of trains every time, and maybe a nearly complete train setup would have made me mor...

ah, poisoning the trees...sounds fun death to the environment!

Anyhow, the original questions still stand, what are the various difficulty levels, and how does richness affect alien bases?

Very cool, thanks! Love a forum that the devs actually talk in too, that is awesome!

I tried the richness setting on enemy bases a few versions back and I seem to remember having fewer artifacts drop from destroyed spawners. Might be wrong though. Oh, interesting... I did have one spawner only drop 2 alien artifacts with the richness setting upped one level....but those spawners se...

Ok cool, thank you so much. Now if I can just figure out why I cant get power to my steam engine I'll be ok lol. It worked in the campaign now I am playing free mode I can't get power.. Pumps, then burners fed with coal/wood, then steam engines, all connected with pipes, have electric poles near yo...

ok I will do that but I am having a hard time completing the hope mission when I have to recover the ship. I got rocketry and still cant kill all of those creatures lol I had SUCH a hard time with that mission (mission 3). What got me past it was using the defender capsules in mass on the SE base. ...

Thanks for that Hazard I was wondering myself if underground belts could go under water...suppose not that hard to just test in game but eh...I was browsing here anyway...nice to know

A bit long...I'm afraid I have to admit I did not read through it, but I wanted to just say I think the top thing that will make the wiki stronger is simply increasing the community! I can't wait to see this game greenlit and available on Steam, because I think the community will take off then. I gu...

I was just dropping some stuff into my "garbage chest" when I thought of the same thing...a recycler of some sort would be nice. Looking forward to seeing what oil has to offer, but quite happy on my third game in 8.8 now! :D glad I discovered this game thanks to a youtuber's letsplay.... ...
