Tailing Pool description says "cause pollution by venting gases".

As far as i can tell they don't seem to do that yet.

They're supposed to as the code is there so it should be working. It was one of the oldest parts of it.

I'll check on it later

To be clear: The venting happens, but they don't show up in the pollution production statistics, don't have a pollution stat. Bit hard to tell from the map if they do anything.

I'll admit it's been several updates since I last ran into this, but I used a Tailings pond to vent excess steam from power houses for a while before I got cooling towers and BOY was that a mistake for the pollution it generated. Have you tried turning on the Show Pollution Values and seeing if the pollution in the chunks with the venting tailings ponds show a pollution peak?

The pollution happens by script, so it doesn't show up in pollution statistics. Kingarthur, you could add it to the statistics from the script, if you want to:

Hello, i spot just after login on server that above its posted in console all the time.

Hello,
I have found a desync cause: deconstructing a fawogae farm causes a desync. by hand or with nanobot, both will eject you. Even admin deconstruction.
Admin deletion works (with decon planner in the "none" tab).
Note that We have the pY Vegan mod included which tampers with it by adding invisible beacons to boost their speed/productivity, but the botanical farm doesn't desync.

I can provide a save to showcase the issue.

Afaik none of the pymods do anything with the fawogae farms in control stage. So it's probably my mod that misbehaves.
Does this problem still occur after the 0.0.13 update?

The Ralesia Plantation Mark 02 shows as using 300 of the Mark 01 as an ingredient. I believe that this is probably more expensive than intended. Most other tier buildings use one of the previous tier as an ingredient.

That building is not currently available to craft. While some Mk2-4 biotic-based buildings exist in the code, the recipes to make them do not unlock at any tech level. They will be made available to build with Py Alien Life, which is still in development so the recipes for the buildings are subject to change.

Hi Pyanodon Team,
An update to 1.5.0 was made yesterday (22 hrs ago) but I'm having trouble finding the rationale behind the change, or any discussion about the proposed change. The changelog is simple: However, it is not a simple change, so one small change has rather broken my current game of 57 hours.

My science chain ceased operation when I went off exploring while the research queue completed. After some investigation, I found that Laboratory Instrument manufacture was the culprit, and is missing Circuit Board 1 from the recipe. Circuit Board 1 is a whole new chain that I was working up to, and had not made plans for in the Logistics Science manufacturing area that supplies the Science Park. Laboratory Instrument is a unique item, only used for Logistics Science, so is therefore made on location from the other generic supplies. This change has come as a shock to the system.

It would be most appreciated if you could add some more detail to changelog. I would have deferred the update if I'd known what the "Small change" to science had entailed. I hope you can understand that changes such as this that have gone uncommunicated can be rather disruptive to a playthrough?

All said, I do enjoy playing with the Pyanodon suite installed, and have spent many a happy hour planning and building. Please don't take my frustration as a complaint. I would merely like to see some more detail in the changelog, so I and a assume others, can make an informed choice on whether to update, and what impact the changes might have.

Thanks for a great Mod.

Yeah could you explain exactly what has changed? Trying to decide if u want to update as well. Is it mostly the same but involves circuits 1? Or lots of changes?

sci 2 requires circ 1 now and science 3 requires nexelite now

Sci3 requiring nexelite isn't a big deal... Nexelite is needed far earlier.

Sci2 needed more stuff is painful. Sci2 is used a lot....

At the same time this feels like it is confirming something that players should really learn in early game, which is to automate cable, handcraft circuits, and handfeed circuits to machines in your mall...and now in your science system as well. Automating circuit 1 early is basically a trap.

Also keep in mind here that it is 1 circuit 1 for 6 science packs. So it is not really significantly more expensive than before (whereas PH did make it significantly more expensive).

Does sci2 just require circ1 IN ADDITION? Or instead of something? Sci2 was already pretty expensive IMO and I would hope if adding circ1, something else would be reduced a bit to compensate.

In addition; 1 circuit1 per six, plus everything else it took before. If the rubber amount were reduced I wouldn't complain...

Oof. Yeah I mean I love me some Pyanodons but it truly is hard enough already. 1/6 of a Circ1 isn't too expensive but, in a way, it does ask us to make 16% more circuits (assuming you maybe automate 1 circuit per second and 1 green science per second).

So Pyanodon if you're listening, it would be super helpful to reduce the price a little to compensate for the 1/6 of a circuit it costs now.

I'm at that point in the research tree where handcrafting circuits is going to be an all consuming task. The map I generated is based on a rail map, but modified to an almost archipelago for the extra challenge. Space, and route planning needs careful thought, and I had set up dedicated areas feeding the next. This change has caught me with low basic local resources, and no niobium in sight for 800 units to make the most efficient use of what I have. Specifically iron. I thought I'd be able to research my way out of this situation, and militarise sufficiently to break out too.

I'm faced with several choices:

1. Stand and handcraft circuits in the hope of digging myself out.
2. Abandon this game and start again.
3. Revert the change for Laboratory Instruments to allow me to continue until I can support it.

The last feels like a cheat, but it may well be the only viable option at present given the surprise change. I can at least plan ahead for the other changes. I like challenges... but it seems I have bitten off more than I expected this game

Do keep in mind that py is still not actually balanced around enemies.

That is very true and not forgotten. Thank you.

I have adjusted the evolution factors favourably, and given myself a healthily sized starting area - which would probably explain the lack of Niobium close by too.

I have decided to revert the Lab Inst recipe only in this instance.
