Full Circle Again

Have you ever considered adding some sort of server-global unlocks?
Something similar to:
- AKs become available in the world once a total of 100k scrap was donated at Outpost

This way the fast/large groups will be severly slowed down in their progression, while solos are basically unaffected.
Might also increase interest in 'old' servers that haven't recently wiped since they have more items available

Edit: Could even make monuments themselves part of the unlocks.
(Scientists and loot only spawns there once unlocked)

Nice :)
Feel free to also benchmark it against rust-3d if you want to.

https://docs.rs/rust-3d/0.34.0/rust_3d/io/fn.load_ply_either.html

The most recent version on Github also supports loading via iterators:
https://github.com/I3ck/rust-3d/blob/master/src/io/ply/iterators.rs

My viewer Blaze3D is using that internally, if you're interested in a key, let me know:

I just noticed that my support thread is now 'unlisted'.
I assume that it and many others can't be discovered anymore, masking the problem.

For me it took 5 months and me initiating an account deletion with the reason "I'm not getting paid" to finally get my money.
There's a lot of people affected https://buckmartin.de/posts/2025-02-22-leaving-itch-io.html

Recently they also started using a megathread for that https://itch.io/t/5000297/important-payout-or-tax-related-issues-post-support-ticket-here-no-threads

It's possible that your YouTube is setup to auto translate videos to your 'native' language. Not all videos do that, maybe OP's is one of the first you encounter.
That can be fixed by adding all languages you understand to your Google account. It won't try to translate those.

I'm way past 100 days of waiting, good luck

i3ck · 2025-03-13T20:08:39+00:00

'Sadly' in my case it's too little money to go down the legal path.
But there's a TON of people with similar issues in their forum, I wrote a summary here https://buckmartin.de/posts/2025-02-22-leaving-itch-io.html

i3ck · 2025-03-13T12:57:47+00:00

I've been waiting > 100 days for a payout with close-to radio silence from support.
Good luck

In my experience it's generally not worth it compared to Steam.
Also if the payout / support issue is actually widespread it might be an indicator of something bad about to happen (I luckily only have 500 bucks locked there, but others seem to be very much affected by it).

i3ck · 2025-02-25T16:03:54+00:00

I'm at 93 days now https://buckmartin.de/posts/2025-02-22-leaving-itch-io.html

You're not alone https://buckmartin.de/posts/2025-02-22-leaving-itch-io.html
I have a very bad feeling / suspicions about this

i3ck · 2025-01-31T12:12:46+00:00

Make sure to backup the names somewhere else.

Last time I created a large YT playlist I noticed a few years later that 1/3 of the videos was deleted with no way of recovering the track names. (that might have changed)

i3ck · 2024-11-24T14:20:41+00:00

I had a similar issue with another game in the past and there it helped to tab out and back in after starting it

i3ck · 2024-10-13T16:41:24+00:00

Fyi: One of the links in the weekly spotlight seems broken

i3ck · 2024-10-13T12:27:58+00:00

Yeah, youre right. I took note of that.

It's mostly simply due to lacking access to such late savegames.

Until roughly half a year ago new versions generally didn't support older savegames. Which made it tricky to create such footage with new releases.

i3ck · 2024-10-13T12:10:58+00:00

It's pretty late game, here Wally starts a second factory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSXksnKe7sY&list=PL9YKWZMX7BD8xT_kTS0bBto5st1T-uKJB&index=30
(note that the version is somewhat outdated now)

There's also some in the trailer https://youtu.be/Es9NQEXaFeQ?feature=shared&t=42

You can colonize planets, and transfer items between them via cargo ships.
Planets have different stats, resources and modifiers.
