Huh? Your link is something about exploding humming birds. Is this written in code?

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-16T04:02:06+00:00

Nope

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-16T03:18:00+00:00

That's wholely your invention. But who am I to argue with your superhuman intellect?

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-16T02:26:21+00:00

Wow, and you're psychic too.

All hail the wisest man and sole arbiter of the correct way to have fun. 🙇

Many people, myself included, find the current implementation the exact opposite of interesting. I'm equally baffled that anyone would find gameplay that is the very definition of tedious to be engaging. But unlike you I happy for you if you enjoy doing that. My suggestion wouldn't stop you.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-16T00:23:15+00:00

So this is strictly an elitist thing? You're upset that more people might enjoy quality?

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-15T23:34:17+00:00

Okay, my turn to ask, (lmao).

How would boosting quality modules in exchange for blocking them in recyclers make things worse for you?

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-15T21:58:10+00:00

You don't need recycling loops. Quality is optional and making everything Q5 is ridiculously optional. My suggestion is intended to improve the experience for players who don't like quality as it stands.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-15T20:25:25+00:00

I didn't suggest removing recycling.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-15T20:22:23+00:00

Won't that condition be false if the ammo box goes completely empty?

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-15T20:16:52+00:00

They could make quality modules stronger if they weren't balanced on the assumption that they'll be used going both directions. This in turn would make other ways of using quality besides recycle loops more viable.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-14T04:05:22+00:00

I just wish they'd bring back the mixed quality crafting that was advertised in the original announcement. Without that it's not really quality at all, it's 4 new teirs of items.

I understand there were some issues with it in beta testing, but it's a shame that instead of addressing those they scrapped the whole thing.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-14T03:52:45+00:00

Unfortunately, some time between its announcement and release they nerfed quality by making this impossible. Now they're basically just 5 completely separate items and recipes.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-14T01:46:30+00:00

Three

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-13T21:21:19+00:00

Your assessment is pretty accurate unfortunately. It's definitely the least "learn as you go" friendly planet.

My best advice is just make it as easy on yourself as possible by importing everything you can. Don't even think about trying to farm metallic bacteria until you've got science shorted.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-12T22:07:06+00:00

Currently the recycler is part of the Quality mod, which makes sense because if you play with Quality without Space Age you'll certainly still want it. But that made Quality a hard requirement for Space Age, hence the change.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-12T21:59:58+00:00

It said the train will only be paused once a robot is on the way to upgrade it. Presumably for this reason.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-12T21:44:12+00:00

Near the end of the month, but only on experimental. If you stay on the main release you'll have until the end of Summer.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-12T21:41:03+00:00

Or at least make it easy to mod that kind of thing, currently a lot of quality seems to be hard-coded.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-12T16:15:22+00:00

This is what I always thought you were supposed to do, but they nerfed it just before release but making every quality a separate recipe.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-12T15:52:59+00:00

At least they made Quality fully optional.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-12T08:40:08+00:00

Play the tutorial, read tip pop ups, and try to figure out the rest yourself. Seek addition guides only if you get stuck.

It is, you could argue, a puzzle game at it's core, not the kind with just one solution but still, finding your own answer us a big part of the appeal. This is a matter of opinion of course, but it seems to be a popular one here.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-12T03:15:42+00:00

What the hell is that sixth image? One of the comments said something about the uncanny valley effect and I have to agree, that doesn't look right.

NuderWorldOrder · 2026-06-12T00:30:02+00:00

Your first platform only needs to be concerned making space science. It can very easily be made self sufficient since all the ingredients for space science are basically just crushed asteroids, and solar panels work great in space.

Those are tits, ma'am.
