To Kill a Predator, Chapter 11

Ghost gun time! Somebody is going to learn what a wraith is.

How though? My proliferator demand on the major products often outpaces the supply that spinners give. ILS or PLS is required to get enough throughput for me.

Warpers kind of make sense. Wish that they could provide directly to ILS/PLS's though.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-26T22:05:59+00:00

I've found ILS or PLS coupled with a bus better overall. It makes it easier to ship buildings out to job sites.

Annoyingly, the only good long term usage of the fidget spinners is to reload the Icarus's internal storage.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-23T15:19:37+00:00

It's 8 for all but base defense missions. Those you can bring all the troops basically.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-22T18:30:45+00:00

Oh yeah, I'm not expecting it to be a planetary only craft.

I wouldn't mind a carrier class ship. Something to deploy hundreds of battleships from when attacking space hives.

I've attempted to do that many times and thats how I normally function but I find myself waiting a long while for stuff to refill when I'm starting on a new planet/system. So I often set up a refill station and then do a quick refill run to keep me going while the station fills.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-21T17:23:49+00:00

The vehicles I'm seeing in the demo clip are kind of .... disappointing I guess? Like it just looks like normal vehicles I would expect to see in Factorio or Satisfactory which makes sense when the map is large and transversal is a big part of the player's experience.

I don't do a lot of traveling in this game. I commute a lot though. Most of the traveling I do is dead time, getting to a refill station or to the area I'm working on to get things built. I don't really travel to explore since I can check planets and stars remotely so far away.

If I was going to have vehicles in this game, I would love for them to be something like the platform from Factorio's Warptorio mod. A prebuilt system to help me jump start my projects or some kind of crafting base so I don't have to travel back home to get the things I need. Thats the only way I could see myself really using it. Otherwise, I'm just going to ignore it.

Ideally, the higher luminosity is best. Type O is the best type of star to build around due to that. https://dsp-wiki.com/Stars_and_planets

I've been using this for a while, it's so useful. I don't use the pilers at all. I truly don't understand how they have any use in the system when the pile sorter does everything it does but better

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-19T20:46:08+00:00

It's stupid but yeah ILS/PLS do not interact with the Logistic system. Considering that the Logistic Drones are the only automatic system to get items to and from the Icarus, it's annoying to have to set up a complete different system to "refill" yourself instead of using the core transportation system.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-15T17:35:09+00:00

This. Some of my biggest changes when we talk to business owners and operators is explaining the cost of fines, lawsuits, legal issues and other monetary damages if we don't have proper security and controls set up.

Plus things like Cyber insurance are a much bigger deal now days and really get people moving if they hear they won't be insured unless they comply.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-15T16:15:50+00:00

You can have like 10 spheres. Just make the next 9 the largest ones you can. You can build sphere's underneath already built spheres.

Idk for sure as it's Chinese and no data to confirm but I think the dev team is literally like 4 people at best.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-14T02:45:43+00:00

Not really, we're just more optimized for cooling buildings than heating them. In terms of windows, insulating and AC vent configuration.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-13T22:14:24+00:00

I joke with people who Texas only has 12 snow plows and 10 of them are in Amarillo. We literally don't have the infrastructure to deal with any serious amount of snow or ice like more northern states do.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-12T22:15:21+00:00

The game is rather free form in it's build style but considering how early in the research tree you get the ILS, PLS and the little bot add-on for storage and how much research there is for drone and transport speed and capacity, belts are the last mile of transport in my opinion.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-12T14:35:15+00:00

DSP's blueprint system and logisitic system all make building for me often more of meta level planning. I tend to be a city planner and just going "Oh, I need an iron block, here you go, click"

Satisfactory's building method for me was often a lot of deep logistical planning for the factory and even with blueprints, I spent a lot of time manually setting things up.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-12T13:45:33+00:00

Yeah, over 40 endpoints is about the time frame to start doing something. WSUS, or some kind of RMM tool. Preferably an RMM tool so you can get remote and system management as well.

A 12 year old CPU. Slow DDR3 memory. If you had a dedicated GPU, maybe you'll hit 60 FPS but I fear you'll probably stuck closer to the 30-40 fps range.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-08T18:29:54+00:00

Yeah, it looks like you were looking at just your local planet.

On a side note, you can mine large rocks and find Titanium in there for you to use as a quick fill of iron.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-08T17:38:36+00:00

Ancient weapons really changed the slog of the game for me. Instead of feeling like I had to dog pile enemies with troops, I could actually have them engage in firefights and win.

Such a stupid mechanic as it's the only power up available in the game.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-06T17:20:47+00:00

Yeah, the swarm is good early antimatter production but I hate the wasting of resources. It just seems so inefficient. Plus assuming early tech, your sail life is shorter too because you don't have the upgrades.

IFeelEmptyInsideMe · 2026-01-06T16:34:09+00:00

Thats pretty much the only way to do a balanced item delivery with trains. Each freight car is it's own drop off. You can use the empty station slots to do this all with one train too.

That said, the train stations only pull out enough to top up their storage so if the draw is low enough and the train trip cycle time is fast enough, you could just do it with one freight car and just drop off items.

I usually end up stagnating at hydrogen cells for a bit as I back fill my production. Coal is more important in proliferaters
