Re: Removing RTL language translations

They most likely meaned "nemá to pro nás smysl" which can be translated as it doesn't meke sense for us but also as It is not worth it for us. not making it better - sounds just as worst... I don't think that's insulting at all. I have never seen a single game that got translated to my na...

Re: [Poll] Battery graphics in 0.17

I find it rather unlikely that Duracell would sue over this. And if anything, reinforcing that as the default depiction of a "a battery" is probably a win in their book. Other games have use the "copper-top" image too, without any problem as far as I know. I guess the design cha...

Re: [Poll] Battery graphics in 0.17

Can I vote "whatever"? I think the new graphic is good enough. Not sure why people even bothered to care about it, probably just because they can't handle change. No one ever brought up things like whether the blue PCB really looked like an advanced circuit board, or iron ore looks like ra...

Re: 0.16 -> 0.17 Military tech conversion

Interesting, that would explain why biters cut through my defenses like butter in my late game .16 save.
I am aware of the other changes like AOE damage or spawner absorbtion, but that alone wouldn't explain how quickly they overrun my turrets.

Re: The new (enemy) graphics look sterile

I am not too happy about how similar biters and spitters look now.
In general I think the new graphics look better, but the old ones felt more in touch with the game graphic style.

Re: [0.17.10] Energy Weapons Damage 1 Research

I think that's a valid suggestion, but it definitely sounds more like a design choice than a bug. While energy weapon damage doesn't require laser turrets, it requires lasers. In theory, one could research it just for robot damage, therefore not needing laser turrets (which could make sense in a gam...

Re: 0.17 Defense Against Big Worms?

To be fair, it doesn't appear that turret creeping is actually part of the AI strategy now. It just so happens every now and then that when they expand, a worm pops up that has your turrets in range, yet out of your turret's range. While I greatly appreciate the thought of increased end game biter d...

0.17 Defense Against Big Worms?

The irony isn't lost on me that the biters are now turret creeping my defenses. Big worms can outrange laser turrets and even flame thrower turrets. I have hardly ever noticed that before .17 but now it happens ever so often that they spawn in such a position. The only defense I can think of is usin...

Re: [0.17][Mac] Delays in control

I can confirm it as being related to VSYNC, usually caused when zooming in and out, then persisting for a few second. Without VSYNC it's gone but constant screen tearing around character height.

yes we need lootboxes and ingame skins
And I want to be reminded about new and discounted skins with a popup every time the game starts. Perhaps add a 5 second delay until the popup becomes closeable, to avoid closing it accidentally before looking at it.

Fusion is no different in that regard, plenty of radiation.
Did you just try to say that the amount of radiation is in any way comparable?

But these advantages should be ease of distribution, handleability, modularity and so on, not the sheer capacity when moved in bulk.
