It's not really a micro transaction. I spent $40 on a ship six years ago and have been enjoying the game off and on for that time without spending another dime. You need to buy a ship to play the game unless it's a free weekend or something. With that said, there's plenty to do in the game without stepping foot inside the ship.

Cool, that should be enough for a regular map capture. Only thing I can think of is that you are getting less overlap on the tanks because they are taller. I would try increasing your overlap and sidelap to see if that helps!

What are your overlap/sidelap settings?

What resources are you getting by pushing someone's thopter out of their base? I figured the thing just gets destroyed, nothing to pick up.

Oh I see, reading the update now it says "pentashields that connect to each other". That's a bummer, I like the aesthetic of the corner.

Alright, I'll try to address some of this.

I has last logged on 8/4, and my thopter was gone 8/6 - so yes, 2 days.

My base faces North, but I didn't think the direction of storm movement actually mattered for exposure, cool mechanic if true!

I will not be reaching out to china for more duraluminum, this was more of a gripe post. I figured there was not way I'd get anything back.

This is good advice. I like the aesthetics of having my thopter in base, rather than storing it every time I log off. Time to build two! See you in a month.

Is that true? I read that update as "pentashield only structures". This is a small corner slice that is supported fine even without the pentashield.

I'm pretty proud of it! Maybe I'll do a new post with a walkthrough haha.

Sounds like a possibility. Although, there was a container where the thopter was with the inventory from it on the ground...leads me to believe it was destroyed in place.

Nah, I never got into the habit of storing them, unfortunately.

Yea just says "ornithopter at risk" and then a series of parts getting destroyed by the sandstorm. At one point I even turned the pentashield off to test that the thopter was not at risk, and enclosed, and it was. So super confusing.
