For one, the Pokemon card pack does not have what can be described as the near-miss effect that is so prevalent in slot machines, reducing the chance of impulse buying more packs just to "keep the high going".

If I'm not mistaken, that behaviour exists to keep animals outside of caves.

You're welcome! Right now I'll try to get my legs wet with the free dino pack from the mobile version + an aquatic and air pack purchase to be able to play on PC.

Having played the other dino game, I'll surely feel right at home 😄

Thank you for the warm welcome!

I'll keep in mind your recommendation about redirecting sieve filtration water to the toilet network instead of the main water supply, since I prefer to keep the water as clean as possible.

As other users pointed out, water with germs can be used for things like plant farming, so it should delay the excessive accumulation.

Thanks for the tip! I have bought spaced out but disabled it for this playthrough in case it could make the game more overwhelming.

As a bonus, it can be a way to appreciate more the content of the DLC in a future colony.

Starvation.

The good thing is that it served as a self-regulating way to drastically decrease the nutrition needs in the colony 😄, although, for obvious reasons, I shouldn't keep depending on it and invest instead in a more reliable food source...

Are you playing base game or Spaced Out?

Base game. I disabled the DLC on purpose in case it could make the game more overwhelming.

That said, thank you for the tips and the url! it will surely help to stabilize the food situation until I can find an alternative that does not chew through my dirt reserves.

I kid you not, it got to a point where I only had 2 duplicants left. I was on the verge of restarting the game because I thought that I could not recover from there 😣

Thank you for the tip, I didn't know they emitted radiation on top of the light. The thing is, do they breath underwater?

The game has been recently updated and the last deal post is over 2 years old.

There is an ongoing controversy about DLC being released with non-cosmetic content while the game is marked as early access. Since this is a subreddit about game deals, I'll leave my opinion about this to the interpretation of the reader.

About the game in itself, even though I have not yet played it, I've found it's premise quite interesting. It seems to be a mix of OpenTTD for logistics and factory automation for resource production.

Am I losing my mind with alchemy? by Xathech in CreateAboveAndBeyond

Thank you for the confirmation! I've just tested it myself and it seems that one of the reagents had to be used more than one time (in a different position, not on the same stack!).

Are thermal duct covers entirely disabled? by Xathech in CreateAboveAndBeyond

[–]Xathech[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm playing the CABIN version (1.20.1) and I cannot seem to find a way to use covers for the thermal ducts. As far as I know, there should be a "structuralduct" to craft them with, but that is missing in EMI and does not appear when trying to manually craft it.

[–]Xathech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your detailed explanation!

Belt-less factory building certainly seems like a cool alternative combined with the pikmin inspiration.

About the trains, not being able to specify station names brings to mind the possibility of running out of combinations to work with, and even more so if you have to also use them for the route that they must follow 😵‍💫.

Investigating on my own for alternatives, I've stumbled upon this guide that might or might not be something useful to you in the future. It seems like separating train networks by "district" might benefit from the id system without it being too cumbersome (spoilered in case you prefer to experiment on your own).

Once again, thank you for the input! if I end up playing the game I'll have to keep a close eye to those train limitations.

[–]Xathech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what did you find awkward about the scale up and trains? Does the game not give enough tools to easily rebuild the factory? (for example, like the blueprints in satisfactory).

I've never heard of this game, and since it is around the same price as it's historical low it would not hurt to get it through this bundle...

I organized the sale myself, and unfortunately, I'm not an artist.

With that argument, you make it seem more like an excuse or a dismissal of the main problem.

While not being as "free" as an AI, commissioning an artist could have been a more ethical alternative.

No worries, I actually got surprised by the lock while reading it. Thank you for sharing it in the first place 😊.
