В данный момент написания отзыва, играю в демо версию игры и уже в восторге.
I added the "Portable Transporter" to most of my buildings and now I can't build any of them when I start a new game.
First of all, I would much prefer to have a "Send" button in this form instead of it sending the feedback immediately after clicking the expression. People look at pictures first and knowledge translated, this time erroneously.
Secondly, I would appreciate it component size was more visible, and especially if it was doubled in stats below the item along with the rest. Unlocking a new item can be very confusing.
Thirdly, I'd like to be able to copy/paste request orders. Currently if you want to build a lot of new buildings, you have to either:
1) wait for one to be built, request the items, wait for the request and copy it
2) build a lot of platforms, then request a lot of items. Manually, each time. If you've built a lot of platforms already, you might as well deconstruct them - it would be faster than manually sending the requests for each.
Fourthly - I can't wrap my head around share storage component. At all. I've read forum posts, in-game codex, wiki - I just don't get it. I can already lock slots to only be available to specific items. Does the component allows me to use "send to shared storage" button? Is that all? And it only takes the pre-defined items?
I wanted to make a general storage for my scout items and other stuff that I don't need in high quantity I had to manually unload each and every one. Sadly, right-clicking doesn't unload/load the inventory to a scout - I wish that was the case or the functionality, if it exists, was more visible.
Next I've set up the twinbot with that storage module, slots locked to iron ore. My idea was to allow other worker bots to unload their inventory into twinbot, because it has more slots and slightly faster, so that it can travel to a storage area when full. Pressing the "send to shared storage" on my workers didn't work out, it wasn't doing anything. Slotting hoppers into twinbot also didn't do anything. It's... very frustrating to not know what exactly I am doing wrong.
Regardless, I've enjoyed my time with the demo a lot. I'll be picking the game up once I get some spare cash. Wishing you the best with the development!
Suggestion: Exempt floors from minimap coloring.
However, I have noticed that the Advanced Research sections do not complete automatically. I am up to Matrix Technology and the research completed perfectly up to the point where I need 4, 1, 1 items and then it stalls. I have had to manually supply my research (x7) points for the last 4 sections with the materials required. Once that happens it completes in less than 30 seconds. I have waited up to 10 minutes for that last lot of materials to be automatically delivered.
seems cannot click target anything since last experimental update.
This is made from Saved BPs whith mods, but opted out of mods but kept the BPs cause they were still looking and working ok.
1. The visual language of the components could use some disambiguation. Many of the components look very simular to other components of different purpose. For example, Crystal Power and Small Turrets, Miners and Weapons. Pulse weapons and Power Cells. Colour coding them to their types is probably the easiest solution, but I think adjusting the shape language would be better. For example, weapons could be given barrel shapes, mining equipment could be given a more tactile shapes like claws or drills, and power cells could be given the crystaline shapes.
2. The behavior programming is by far the game's most destinguished feature. It's excellent and what has me hooked. It's a shame to make players wait to unlock the behavior controllers to discover it. I think the controllers should be built into every unit and structure and that supplimentary components could be put into the research tiers. Examples, memory modules for storing arrays, communication modules for transmiting multiple registers at once to any units listening out for the transmiter, behavior loaders for swapping behaviors, ect. A few of those example have mods already.
3. Here's a quick list of some instructions that I'd like to see: Arrays, loops, for and not functions please. Additional inputs to any instructions that assume self to instead take another unit. Information types that can better map the terrain, specificaly a cliff type that I could check for before telling a unit to move to a location.
The code when I edit it is still the original, but it appears broken, I never had an exit but the behaviour is stopped and it stops again if I run it.
The Metal Ore Distributor large beacon exhibits the proper behaviour and all other settings are the same on beacons, warehouses and fabricator buildings!
1)can flyers work same as shuttles, that is to not just stay in logistic area but just consider if everything is in same network? Thing is that when I build some building outside of power area, shuttles which are set to help with construction sent items to said building, but flyers even human ones and also land units cannot leave powered area as shuttles can.
2) It would be great to add few behavior logics, namely:
- Count all set items in inventory, not just requested or remaining, all present in units storage.
- To be able to change settings of logistic network of unit controlled by behavior.
- To be able to reserve items, that is block them so they are not considered free to be used in logistic network unless released or used by building (almost same as construction components which reserve required number of items for construction.
- To be able to create own function blocks with different input or output contacts (create function which works in called behaviors as input points or output points so we can make our own functions)
3) Maybe add more buildings, either one with 2 L sockets or one with 1 L socket but also 3 S sockets.
4) Also maybe do something so power cores, power cells and such permanent power sources fluctuate (maybe through blight storms or new solar flares or something) because these are unlocked pretty soon and at same time as batteries which makes those almost useless (at least L one is pretty useless because it is too big).
5) What about some more flying units especially with S slots? For humane use of coarse :)
6) Oh yeah and re-simulator feels little bit underwhelming to me. Not many usable recipes there and few of them when you can use them you also can craft them through research (laser extractor, blight charger, blight crystal chunk, infected circuit board...) others are however very good, especially light mining laser, engineer and human flyer.
Thanks and also thanks for such great game, fun to program my own automated base, not just build buildings and connect them but also give life to it. Can't wait for full release.
Then signal is sent to second building with transporter, which also divide items from recipe plus one slot of crafted item and then takes these items (not requests them) from first building storage. This building it set to logistic network 2 with deliver and supply option only through teleporter. It is set as this so crafting buildings can request from this building necessary ingredients and then through store command set to third output building crafted items are sent to it (this building is in logic network 1 and 2 so my shuttles set to network 1 can distribute these items freely, building is set only to supply).
However with this setup I noticed rather constantly that input building receives through request items from tranporter building even though these two are in separate networks.
It looks like there are three types of storage requests, by component (which works fine), manually (which also works fine) and through behavior (which sucks, because it looks like it ignores network settings).
- Automation tech too late in content to be truely useful
- Storge tech too late in content to effectively rebuild/re-design,
- player path fixed to get late into robotics first otherwise no automation available
Feels that the automation and storage related tech could benefit alot from being positioned earlier in the tech tree.
my point of view if that the the mats that require mass production are the once benefiting most from automation and programming, which is the main feature of this game. Automation for mass production, programming for fine tuning.
while programming become available at almost the very beginning proper automation require transporter tech well into late game, or atleast large beacon. ater large beacon unlock, there is no more mats that require large scale production, with ic chip, electrodes, fiber and matrix left, which can all be managed with a single building each, with matrix probably requiring most production, but say 8 assembler worh of production power is more than enough, which you'll only need 2 of the 2x2 3M building and that will be enough.
The problem with this is that automation is needed the most for mats that require large scale production such as energized plates where to be comfortable you'll likely need aroud 40-52 assemblers worth of production power or cables anywhere between 20 - 40 depending on play style. 140+ for metal bar and 100ish for plates by late game, as you can see, by the time players get to crystal powder and frames there isn't much large scale pdoruction left.
this led to the best use for the technology would be to tear down parts of your base and re-design. this brings us to the next point, storage, to effectively re-design or utilise the upgrader a very large storage space is required to juggle the goods, unlike games such as factorio or statisfactory, storage in this game is much smaller and large storage are only accessible very late in game. now I like the new challenge this brings but to a large extent it defeats the purpose of the game
Because what this is feels like to me is that I have to design my base 'perfect' from step one and because when I needed the most, the only automation tech I have access to is small beacon and portable tranporter I am being forced to design my base in BIG square blocks as you can see in my saved game.
yes, there are others production chains such as human tech and alien tech, but I can see the team is trying not to have a single fixed progression, which I greatly appreciate, and currently I feel like I 'have' to get to late robotics research before I explore other tech tees.
I don't usually write this much, but I love this game and want to see it succeed and want to see the team succeed
The first iteration works as intended, the second iteration with the assembler doesn't update the recipe variable "c" to the large wind turbine.
This seems like a bug.
Lorsque l'on utilise un déployeur sur un bâtiment 2S qui contient 2 déployeurs de drone avec des drones à l'intérieur, lorsque l'on pose le bâtiment, il n'y a plus les drones à l'intérieurs... Ils disparaissent ;-;
Merci! (:(:3)
Le "send developer feedback" marche pas :(
Sinon j'aime beaucoup le jeu :pouce:
(:(:3)
why is the 2x1 1M with a porter on #1 not droping the stuff into the 1x1 24 on storage on #2?
different channels were no problem so far
or make the 'port back' coords a bit more random?
I have buildings linked with transporters / beacons acting as transport belt
becaons also acting as distribution to feed and empty the production buildings.
in screenshot yo can see orders go on unfullfilled, same logi channel, locked to transporters. within beacon coverage, but nothing happens.
now, the interesting part, if I toggle high priority on my building acting as belt link, it works again.
toggle off high priority, it stops
Currently deconstruction takes too many steps or programming. Similar games have easy ways to deconstruct.
Context : I am trying to create a dropped items pickup bot that will move around the base. I am looping through entities of type building but it will loop through previously visited buildings that are in it's range, thus it takes a very long time.
An alternative approach would be to find buildings based on attachments. That way I can find powerpoles and loop through them.
