[0.17.74] Softlocked myself in the Tutorial
Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2019 11:04 am
I wanted to try the Tutorial again just for fun but I ofcourse softlocked myself.
Simple Steps to Reproduce this Softlock:
Step 1: Grab all the Gears from the Area around the Crash Site to the point there is none left.
Step 2: Get to the Point where you are supposed to build a Burner Inserter and two Conveyors, but dont do that.
Step 3: Use all the Gears to make Burner Mining Drills because you want to build up Resources before the next Step.
Step 4: Find out you cant craft Gears at all, because the Assembler isn't unlocked/repaired yet.
Step 5: progress in the Mission becomes impossible.
So yeah, the requirement of Gears early on without any way of making new Gears at all can break the Tutorial.
P.S. Thanks for making it possible to rebind the Message Confirm "Tab" Key, that annoyed the shit out of me as an Arrow-Keys Player.
Edit: I should maybe mention that my mindset behind doing this was not "lets break the Tutorial" and more of a "I know Biters are gonna wreck this place so harvest all the resources out of it as fast as possible by making as many miners as possible as early as possible!"
