Is there any way to change size of mineral deposits after start? I have about 50 hours into a factory now and just starting to get good amounts of alien artifacts, but all my mineral deposits are set to normal/regular from when I first started. What's my best option (please don't say restart  ).

President Ark posted:I won't say anything, then. drat, oh well, I guess at least now that I understand it all well enough maybe I can plan something out better this time. current setup  Power in top left, steel and iron plates to the top right, was expanding to the lower right to put more stuff in, maybe ore processing? Is it more effective to process at the dig site and then transport the plates or the transport the ore to a central smelter? I feel like the central smelter might be more extensible. edit: as an aside, running transport belts everywhere in the beginning reminds me a lot of running traces for PCBs.

KillHour posted:There are mods that add endless upgrades such as weapon damage with ever-increasing research costs. WZ2100 was great, I should play it again sometime. Yes though there needs to be a better military system such as some way of commanding military drones without you being there. Or being able to launch satellites and nukes. I mean yeah we have these large factories and automated production systems with some drone uses but a lot of the military side of things isn't even close to what we do know from a commanders point of view. I don't feel the player should need to be anywhere near the combat zone, that's a robots job, or a nukes.

I prefer logistics systems for handling resource movement, bus feels limiting in how adaptable it can be. I set up a warehouse basically (bunch of storage chests around a roboport) where all resources move to and distributed to various factories using the provider and requester chests. Example: Roboport surrounded by storage chests, and then a few train depots to handle input and output into the warehouse. Trains then distribute resources to where they are needed or bring in resources to the warehouse.

I prefer to abuse logistics bots and systems  All the little robots flying around doing their things  I think I have about 1000 logistics bots. Close up of logistics warehouse showing number of items stored  This is my newest base with the steam release.

Aliens can seem difficult at first. Set up about 4-5 turrets at key points along your walls (build walls, double walled preferably) and keep them stocked with ammo and you should be good for about 15-20 hours into a game, maybe even longer. Filling a turret with 100 ammo typically lasts a few hours for me since they all fire.

I just realized I'd really like to see mountains in this game as another way of segmenting terrain into choke points, maybe even for ore extraction points.

Has anyone done a planets mod yet? Different climates and stuff? Would be cool to try a tropical planet or arctic hellhole.

Mr. Powers posted:An easy difference would be to have different ambient water temperatures, so arctic planet would take more boilers for the same engines and tropical would take fewer. Not very exciting, though. I guess you could apply it to furnaces, too. Take more energy to smelt. I was more just thinking a change of color to a warmer or cooler palette would be interesting.
