If you choose to build the labs on Gleba.

What enjoyable objective do you think I'm suggesting be removed?

I definitely would not enjoy putting them elsewhere just to have another problem to solve.


So because you think that you wouldn't enjoy putting biolabs in a place other than Nauvis, you think the game would be better if it wasn't an option, even if other people would like that option?

Your ...

The "challenge" you seem to refer to is to demonstrate the mere ability to deliver science packs to Biolabs on Nauvis with enough spoil time remaining to be useable in research, with interplanetary transport being the prime obstacle to be overcome.

I assert, however, the interesting gameplay is ...

Enforcing the "challenge" of shipping spoil-able packs gives up a lot for little gain. And you could still keep this challenge if you made a research after biolabs that allowed you to build them anywhere, so you'd still need to ship them initially.

The "challenge" isn't about whether you are ...

Allow Biolabs on other planets so research can be done in a decentralized way, so no single landing pad needs to have as much throughput as Nauvis currently does.


I think this would be a major benefit. Not just minimizing the need for landing pad throughput, but also allowing options for ...

Too many arbitrary restrictions in Space Age. Let me choose.

In all seriousness, trains, red belts, assembly machine 3s, etc. are all unlocked after you have another solution to the problem (belts, more belts, assembly machine 2s).


In the version of the game I play, I unlock these things when I'm still building my base, and therefore have a use for them ...

It's not true that you only get trains etc. after they're no longer needed.

I've never used foundation simply because by the time I've unlocked it, I've more or less completed the game.


This is my main issue with it. You have to build your Vulcanus and Fulgora base before you have foundation, which means that by the time you have foundation you don't need it because ...

Suggestions as per title. Please add the ability to drag the upgrade planner over stuff and let it use the best quality items the factory currently has available.

One of the major downsides of quality is that it adds a lot of micromanagement to upgrading stuff as better quality items become ...

It bugs me a bit that items in containers that are better than common sometimes get their quality flair overwritten by the container it's in.


Yes it's annoying, but how would you change it? The quality indicators have other inconvenient interactions as well, such as when you have multiple items ...

"We will continue clearing the bug reports until even the smallest things are sorted out, or tiny things discarded, which will take around 2 months at least.

I can't play the game once I get off Nauvis. It's my third time getting out of Nauvis, made the nicest ever Nauvis base, everything prepared.


This bugs me also. I like some of the stuff on the new planets, but once you leave you essentially abandon the work you've done for an extended period ...

I'd be ok with a slight extension, but I think all the way to the edge of the screen is too much. It would make combat too easy.

Thank you, I hope this can be the start of a more productive conversation.

It's difficult to explain all my thoughts, and they are distributed in different spots. One of the challenges in talking about this is that I don't know what the appropriate scope is for any proposed change, so I've ...

You win.

That would be a weird thing to argue, I agree.

NineNine wrote: Thu May 08, 2025 1:19 pm The recipe for bioflux is two ingredients.

It's 3 ingredients because you need nutrients as well, and there are four outputs if you consider spoilage and the seeds from the mash/jelly production.

I've really enjoyed my time on Gleba (this time!)


It's interesting that you say "this time". Because I think a lot of the issues people have with Gleba are to do with the learning curve. There are a lot of new concepts thrown at you all at once in a high pressure environment, and you need to ...
