Another note: The addition of fluorine to chemical industry has me suddenly picturing an alternate universe where Factorio had more of a focus on industrial accidents as a threat than tower defense against wildlife, and the game over screen took the form of a USCSB report. Because the moment fluorin...

I adore just how much Aquilo continues and expands upon the theme of reimagining the core gameplay loop with each new world. Even if it didn't start that way, at this point it feels like there's a strong idea that each place, even space, has it's own unique character, especially in the wake of the G...

Can the copper & iron bacteria production chain be exported to other planets? Particularly Nauvis, since it has the most hospitable biosphere... Presumably they evolved in different atmospheres, and while Nauvis is more hospitable, it doesn't necessarily mean they would thrive or survive there....

One thought that occurs to me: Can the copper & iron bacteria production chain be exported to other planets? Particularly Nauvis, since it has the most hospitable biosphere, the most biologic resources outside Gleba, and has the native production chain a player is guaranteed to have already expl...

A spice, of course. Nutritionally dense, but with so much of the biochemistry common to the fruits and seeds of plants in high heat and humidity biomes, filled with low grade neurotoxins intended to make hungry pests, animals, and microbes chill out so they won't hurt the plant. EDIT: It also appear...

Idly, it struck me that the Demolisher has a lot of Millipede in it's aesthetic design, both in general shape and in how the outer flanges of it's armor look like legs. However, as the thousand legged millipede is very small, would the much, much bigger thousand legged Demolisher then be... A Killop...

Oh, I adore this concept. It sounds like, basically, the entire monstrosity is a giant DPS check scaling with the size of the Demolisher. And instead of the paradigm of something that exists as a response to your factory, it's sounds very much like a paradigm from a certain other factory game where ...

I think I agree that the old Spidertron movement looks better. Works great for the Pentapods, doesn't look nearly as good on a robot. It's kind of twitchy and jerky. It's lost some of what made mechanical and cool. So regarding the twitching/jerking: that's my bad. The video I uploaded to FFF actua...

It does feel like the spidertron leg visuals aren't really meant for the new "hip-first" procedural walk animation. I can't pin my finger on exactly why, but the second set from the bottom especially looks like it's having trouble with the new animation rules. Maybe something with the angl...

The first thing while reading the pollution part: I would try to put all production to gleba, because pollution is not of a concern here - am i missing something? Not at all, with no pollution, put it all on Gleba. The enemies only care about how big your farming operation is, not your factory. Don...

A sudden thought just occurred to me: Given the confirmation that rocket turrets come from Gleba now, and the fact that the tesla turret needs to be made on Fulgora, specifically, will rocket turrets also have to be made on Gleba, specifically? If so, please tell me the recipe involves a pentapod eg...

One thing that strikes me with Gleba is that the mention of making pentapods based on starfish rather than making them "too alien" has me wondering if they literally evolved from starfish, lore wise. Between the Earth trees on Nauvis and the general theme of aliens with links to earthly bi...

From the writeup, it sounds like this time there should be ways to sustainably farm the aliens in a single area this time with a mix of intentionally letting eggs spoil/hatch and what I'd assume are deconstruction orders via roboport or spidertron instead of the expansionist looting for alien-artif...

The new creatures look interesting. ^^ So peaceful is not an option again like it was when you needed alien items for science? Agreed. I thought a considerable amount of people disliked the alien artifact aspect of having to manually farm that stuff just be able to progress further and that the dev...

Just one look and I immediately find myself thinking "hunh, are these things inspiration for Spidertron and the rocket turret in the expansion?" If communicating that the spidertron is moving to Gleba was an intended part of their design, it works. The pollution and aggression changes also...

The mention of high passive power draw makes me curious whether it's high enough to be worth working around. Now that turret circuit connections exist, it seems like one could turn off the tesla turret and/or it's power supply until a nearby turret consumes ammo. (Or turn off a roboport/supply chest...

Ok first: Nice job! Second: I wonder if we see some similar improvements for Biters. Their pathing and swarm mechanics are still something that has potential for improvement - most notably in the cases where they (for whatever reason) just accumulate over time and eat your UPS instead of your ammo....

With the lamps change I can see the Bad Apple and Doom people salivating already. I look forward to someone deciding to make an entire space platform just for image display. EDIT: Let me correct myself. I look forward to someone outside the dev team, following Kovarex's example and deciding to make ...

I'm curious whether the new fluid system would allow temperature chain recipes, a la pre-2017 boilers. I know nothing in the game uses it now, and it wouldn't surprise me if changes to the engine even before this made it outright impossible, but it is something I'm nostalgic for, as one of the peopl...

Looking at it Fusion seems like a straight upgrade to Nuclear Fission. I wonder how the devs plan to keep the old thing from just being skipped over? My guess is it will be more expensive (to build and/or cumulative technology cost to unlock). But also it sounds like the intention is for different ...
