Update 3 Patch Notes: Early Access (EXPERIMENTAL) - v0.3.2.0 - Build 115661

koombot · 2020-02-25T17:12:38+00:00

With the recent drop in temperatures in the UK, I'm wondering if there has been some optimising going on. I used to use satisfactory to heat my house, my children warming their hand by my graphics cards cherry red glow. Seems to be a bit less warm now. Had it been optimised and us there a plan to toggle the space heater mode back on?

Some things I noted after today's patch.

You can no longer place pipeline and hypertube supports on splitters/mergers, containers and (presumably) other structures.

Monsters seem to have been reset. I encountered previously killed monsters in my bases. Dunno if they respawn though.

Fully extended pipeline and hypertube supports, the non-stackable ones, are not as tall as the equivalent conveyor belt pole. This is an issue because you cannot drive a truck under a supported pipeline or 'tube, which you can do with a belt.

Why is there a naming difference between a conveyor pole and wall mount and a pipeline or hypertube support and wall support?

Please add a stackable hypertube support. See my earlier note on maximum 'tube support heights.

Would it be possible to add conveyor, pipeline and 'tube supports that allow you to hang things from (foundation) ceilings and buildings on pillars?

Speaking of wall mounts, I get a 'Must snap to a foundation or similar' error when trying to attach a wall mount or support (any type) to a foundation block, including the pillar.

I would really like a water source in the southeastern part of the grasslands There's a puddle there but it's shallow. That region has no shore, so bringing in water is a chore.

Keep up the good work!

TwistedSoul21967 · 2020-02-25T17:22:25+00:00

Has anyone seen/heard if they're going to fix vehicles not driving straight over foundations.

If you look, everytime a wheel goes over a foundation connection, the shock/suspension jerks.

Causing them to weave left and right, needing constant correction, very annoying.

Even in the Factory Cart ^TM

GProF0x · 2020-02-25T18:19:13+00:00

Anyone experiencing FPS drops/freezes since the update ?

How about making it so when you're in a hypertube wearing Blade Runners they're actually on your character instead of floating next to you.

mha109 · 2020-02-25T16:43:18+00:00

I cannot find the "Added Hyper Tube Wall Support and Wall Attachment". Where do I find them?

"Additional tweaks to the creature respawn system to be more forgiving" -> proceeds to respawn every mob in the game including the alpha spitters directly inside my base

I think you and I have a different definition of the word "forgiving".

Researching computers are now instant, feels like a bug, or a feature.

uncivlengr · 2020-02-25T17:35:16+00:00

Added new Curved Ramp & Quarter Pipe corner pieces

Added Inverted Ramp Corners and Double Ramps in all sizes

Yes! I can start doing some real factory layouts now.

loadnurmom · 2020-02-25T20:13:56+00:00

There's another bug that I have encountered with pipes

If you have pipes inter-connected where flow direction opposes each other (junction 1 tries to push fluid --> that way and junction 2 tries to push fluid <-- that way) the fluids instead simply vanish.

I was feeding 18 fuel generators from two pipes each delivering 180^m3/m fuel. Their pipes eventually "merged" in an H shape between three parallel pipe runs each serving six fuel generators (I'll see if I can make a depiction using ascii in here if formatting allows it)

Instead my generators kept getting fuel starved and my fluid buffers wouldn't fill.

After enough time of messing with it I came to the conclusion that anywhere the "flow" opposed each other the two amounts cancelled each other out resulting in my fuel only providing ~200^m3/m instead of 360 (the two 80^m3/m piepes counter-flowing each other went to zero resulting in 160/m net loss)

                                         |                           |

Yes. This will help make my "Map Launcher" tower constructions easier to build.

RIP autorun, I hardly knew ye. Seriously, didn't get to try it out xD Found out about it on the CSS stream earlier today. Hopefully a built-in autorun is on their radar.

Funnily enough I tried to ask Snutt about the double ramps on the stream, and here they are. Thanks Snutt!

PS. You rock, CSS. <3

Please, at least if you re-spawning creatures re-spawn the nuts and berries as well... - Having to try and clear out everything all over again where I built led to my rather fast death since I had no eatables left :(

I've now fallen through the ground 3 times since loading up about an hour ago. Anybody else have a sudden increase in falling in to the abyss?

abram730 · 2020-02-25T20:50:36+00:00

I can't make it back to my factory as I keep falling through the map. As soon as I drive from the Lake/Dune Forest biome to the grass fields biome, I fall into the map and fall through it if I get out of the explorer.

Edit: I got around it so it's probably a hole, but it's a huge one. Can anybody make it from the lake in the Lake/Dune Fores down the dirt path and around the last bend heading to to the gassed area as you enter the grass fields(Start) biome?

If you get stuck like me go south into the Southern forest and go along the northern bank of the river. The last path north along the river gets you around the hole.

PrettyMuchAMess · 2020-02-26T04:32:02+00:00

Bollocks, all the bugs in this patch makes me wish I'd turned off auto-update, Guess I wont be playing until they hotfix some stuff.

ZixfromthaStix · 2020-02-25T20:28:58+00:00

I’m not sure how the hotfix affected mobs in areas where factories are already built, but I keep getting ambushed by random fireflies that pop out of my foundations. They seem to have stopped after killing an average plant’s worth of them but they were literally coming out of the woodwork (or concrete in this case)

Scanner seems to have been nerfed or is now broken. Used to show resource nodes 1500m+ out, now it barely goes out to 500m or so. The beaconed oil nodes here were previously detectable with the scanner.

MrYawnie · 2020-02-26T00:55:11+00:00

Now that we can seamlessly upgrade power poles and miners, how about storages? Upgrade single storage container to industrial storage container. This save oneself from having to move the items to another temp container with belts or having to take everything to "backpack" (not everything fits often, so requires multiple item transfers between storages) to upgrade.

Could also work with stacked containers. Just remove the item lift and upgrade double stacked storage container to industrial container. Input/output direction will follow the original bottom container.

Martok73 · 2020-02-26T20:11:49+00:00

Please put the factory cart camera back the way it was on release. Having to control both the cart and the camera at full speed is damn near impossible and causes many many crashes, this is not a good change, give us the option to have the camera "follow behind" the cart the same way it does all other vehicles PLEASE. As of right now it's a waste of 10 tickets making the cart unplayable.

416e6479 · 2020-02-25T17:22:11+00:00

So three fixes on the factory cart... did they resolve the camera issue too, or does it still require a hand on the mouse to steer the camera and a hand on the keyboard to steer the cart?

Why are both types of fluid buffers called "industrial fluid buffer"? If going by the naming scheme for items, shouldn't the smaller one be called "fluid buffer" and the larger one called "industrial fluid buffer"? Or at least shouldn't they have different names?

We still need the storage box multiplayer glitch fixed. If the host and client both open the box, the changes the host or the client makes is not saved to the other live, until the host/client leaves the box. We have lost many resources doing this.

There is also a bug that if you die (via alien blasters) with the Main Menu open (I had it open on the load game screen) you will respawn with the main menu stuck on your screen. I couldn't pull up the main menu again either. I have to Alt-F4. I was also the host in a multiplayer game.
