Yeah still early in Voxel but the UI impresses me, things make sense. It's very logistics heavy but making truck routes and deploying them to your fleet etc is both advanced and easy to do so far.

Be careful these don't work like you'd expect. You cannot Conveyor goods to their final destination even if you somehow conveyor it to a station or warehouse directly next to it, the last leg always has to be on some sort of vehicle or it won't accept the goods, this was annoying to find out after some wasted effort.

I need to stop hopping on EA games, Voxel Tycoon got a patch today and I was like "awesome it's been 2 months it needed something", it's 0 content and like 1-2 fixes to how stations are interacted with and that is it.

There is a program logic for until hands are full and for until hands are empty. Also mod out bot charging it's a poo poo mechanic

Seen alot of new Autonauts players in here I will give you the best piece of knowledge I ever figured out in that game, deleted buildings go into your inventory to be redeployed later. This includes paths/flooring, so you can have a spot off in a corner with bots that build paths/flooring in a square then delete them periodically to use elsewhere instantly.

For people starting Factory town, buy up all the land as soon as you can and look for trading outposts they are fantastic. Almost always there is one that will sell you the second tier metal conveyor belt for like apple juice or some easily produced poo poo, you can belt it right in to a barn next to the trading post and always have belts to use.

explosivo posted:I played a bit of Factory Town last night starting a new game and I am realizing that I seriously never utilized the carts and wagons before now. Like I would use wagons to deliver goods but only when I couldn't make a long enough conveyor belt to feed it automatically. I was just always fixated on the conveyor belts being the best possible method of transportation for some reason. You should still use belts to an extent, you start to reach breakpoints where workers are an issue and each one you can save by not carrying poo poo will help.

82apps posted:Thanks! And yeah, Markets used to have their own AoE that determined which houses they could deliver to. It got too messy & cramped with all the multiple market types, so that's no longer the case. So now, they link to a Town Center via roads and then deliver to anything in that town. Yeah delivering the items needed for happiness is crazy right now, I almost think it would be easier to simulate it backwards like some sort of mass transit where the person travels from the house to some sort of market/mall to grab everything they need for their happiness and go back.

Bhodi posted:After bouncing off of it a few times I finally completed Autonauts! Have a picture of my end-game base. Was fun, though because there isn't really anything "new" in the latter half of the game it can get tedious and I think the early game could have been cut entirely. Yeah my real problem with the game is almost everything boils down to "until hand full, grab this tool, until hand empty use in this square" and "until hand full grab everything in this square and put it in or take it out of this container" They needed more reasons for more complex programs. Also the infinite resources means infinite bots which means efficiency isn't really a needed thing on any level.

drunken officeparty posted:A little further into Factory Town and I guess it’s a decent enough time sink. The terrain elevation system combined with terrible autopathing when you lay belts/chutes/roads and spending 20 minutes trying to make road ramps over one spot is infuriating though. I usually make the map completely flat in game creation settings to avoid most of this, road ramping I usually just use page up to raise it up like 20 squares and then you can drag it through the sky, trying to compact ramp at ground level is chaos.

drunken officeparty posted:Factory Town: is it path for workers and stone for wagons exclusive? Or does stone also speed up workers? Stone works for both so use that, also make the roads much wider ylthen you'd think you need. You can also use one way logic gates to make them use roads in certain directions helps avoid jams.

xzzy posted:Been waiting for the win condition/war stuff to be turned on. I don't know if it'll give the game hundreds of hours worth of playtime but the idea of influencing the war based on who you sell weapons and supplies to is a pretty interesting concept to me. It'll at least give me another solid playthrough. I don't feel this was ready for launch, stuff like the farming they added just recently still doesn't work well, everything in the game has this rough feel to it.

explosivo posted:Yeah but I mean you can plop down another one as long as it's on a road and near the town center so in a lot of cases it seems easier to place multiples down instead of feeding everything into one central store Yeah this is the trick, put them right next to your production buildings if possible, you can do conveyor belts up higher then you think so you can run them over roads and feed the general store directly from the producer without any workers. Also do not ignore happiness, the bonuses from the town center happiness end up being like 5x-10x standard levels so building too far away is just not worth it.

So I'm trying Autonauts again and hitting the same stopping point at last time, tier 5-6-7 meals. Each one takes at least a DOZEN clay pots to make a single meal for the colonists, you only get 1 of those pots back so it seems like 80% of my infrastructure is dedicated to making clay pots that keep magically disappearing.

Mayveena posted:Don't bother with that game, play Factory Town. the answer to every 'challenge' in Autonauts is always more bots. I spent 2,000 hours playing it until it finally hit me that it's not a good game. The trains in that game suck big time and don't compare to the trains in OTTD or Factory Town, both games which let you control your consist just the way you want. Finished Factory Town, also my first train game was Factorio, it's been all downhill from there.

When you get there with your first dupe you find another dupe there for free to help you start the second colony, typically the second colony will have something your first lacks like oil.

Workers and Resources has a bunch going for it but I don't like the civilian transport system, workers will teleport on/off transportation if they were on it for more then a hour, workers do not have set jobs and are terrible about getting onto a bus with a destination in mind instead of riding it around until they teleport off. Also the accelerated time of day does not match with relative vehicle speeds so even if they got on the bus to go to work properly going 1km takes like 8 hours.

GhostDog posted:Stormworks has programming/scripting, only it doesn't really teach you anything, you have to find resources outside of the game. It's fun though to go from "okay I have some levers to make this ship move" to "let's program an automatic gear box with throttle blip". In the past year we have gotten, the ability to rename cities, some rail signal fixes and the ability to mass reproduce vehicles. Updates are tiny and development is very slow so check back in another year or two.

Koobze posted:Hey all, I am looking for a multiplayer co-op management game recommendation, though I'm not sure what I'm looking for exists. My wife and I had a great time playing some management/survival-ish games like Valheim, Don't Starve, Cryofall, and Garden Paws. The last one is I think closer to what I'm looking for - is there any multiplayer game where you're running a shop together and part of the gameplay loop is exploring/fighting baddies to gather stuff to sell or process into more stuff to sell? And maybe part of it is about building the shop or some kinda base-building, with the overall driving force being the trading/economy management part? We put a fair bit of time into Stardew Valley which ticks some of these boxes too but has less existential pressure. I am aware of V-Rising which we may give a shot sometime but I think it is a bit too focused on the combat for us. I think My Time at Sandrock might have what you are looking for once the multiplayer comes out "soon"
