But, maybe integrating an NPC civilization somehow wouldn't be so bad. the bugs defiantly need some improvement, as for as character development perhaps. If i could find the mods for it, I would gladly make the enemy bugs, Tyranids and we are a hive city trying to overcome them, haha, far fetched I know. I know there's plenty of mods for it already, but a more advanced system for controlling tanks and troops vs the bugs would be cool. more complex formations of bug structures and NPC factions. things to overcome with our tech trees, Etc... Enough rambling, thank you for this update as a whole, I for one would happily purchase the expansion!

Re: Friday Facts #417 - Space Age development
Complexity and resource intensive is exactly what I like though, it's exactly why i keep returning to this game. I even had to play in hard mode and add Bobs mods suite to increase the complexity even more. Thankfully your game gives us the options to do so. I do however understand repetitiveness from planet to planet though. I personally will greatly welcome the new rails system. I know that if you were to introduce NPC civilian that has to be micromanaged, this game would more-so turn into another Sim City clone, which is not your aim. but it could help the game as a whole become something wonderful. Factory Automation design as a whole is of-course a much more fun concept.

@kovarex It's awesome we're working on optimizations!
Have you been able to try out the Global Tick Time Scaling mod to see how it looks on a fast monitor?
Maybe while we're doing optimizations, we could make it easier for mods like GTTS to operate for people who want that?
Specifically, even just helping things out like the speed of the flashing icons would really be amazing.
Thanks for everything you guys are doing - I'm really excited to pay for 2.0 and do another run with my friends![π](//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f60a.svg)

Yeah I read the post wrong/too fast. I was thinking overload was a-thing, but no it was just describing a different mod's approach to the problem.GregoriusT wrote: βThu Jul 04, 2024 6:07 pmI think the diminishing returns from a previous FFF were what this is referring to, which indeed would not shut it off entirely, but it does fix the Issue of huge buildings being way too beaconable.Loewchen wrote: βThu Jul 04, 2024 5:58 pmIt's almost as if beacon overload does not exist without mods...hecktarzuli wrote: βThu Jul 04, 2024 5:47 pmThe last photo doesn't make sense. With beacon overload having that many beacons around silos should disable all of them (or something)

Such a troll at the end. Very well then, I don't have to wait to read the next one since I am reading this a few weeks later!
How to report bugs effectively (archived version)because everyone should know this.
