Re: Friday Facts #196 - Back on track

My feedback regarding tutorials:

As mentioned by some, they felt too long sometimes and they got past the "I got it!" point.

I suggest the following:

Separate "Tutorials" and create an "Exercises" (or better name) section. Put the tedious and practical stuff in the exercises section, and design ...

[0.15] (Steam) I can't see / download the update

FIXED: Must first opt in to Beta 0.15.x in Steam.

Strange issue, the game is at v 0.14.23, and in Steam it tells me the game is up to date?

I'm not opted in any BETA builds, and I also verified game integrity files to be sure.

Note that I'm in a slightly weird region (Asia / Country: Bahrain ...

Re: Just bought the game; What were Your first impressions?

This game.... I have a lot to say about.

When I was young, I loved playing RTS games. I lived the days of Dune 2, C&C, Warcraft 1.

I fell in instant love with a game called "Magic Carpet". It felt a lot like an RTS game, but it was in person. I was crazy for that game ...

Re: [Request Info] Dependencies Summary and Recommended setups

Thanks for the responses!!

Just for argument's sake, will the mods work if I DON'T load below:

Bob's Ores
Bob's Enemies
Bob's Metals Chemicals and Intermediates

I'm guessing the answer is "Yes, but then the game will be too easy. It will feel like cheating".

And lastly, what about RSO ...
