I'm on said server, if anyone wants to join me. Apparently starting from scratch, just started automated science.

UPDATE: Got Green science set up, just need to research stuff now. Also set up assembly machine and inserter production, should be on the left side of the bus. Also, Power needs upgraded a bit.

Outstanding game. I do not normally buy early access ,but this game has 5 years of development and it has alot to do. It also has mod support and some overhauls to add more features. It is a bit feature poor for end game. It needs more. However, there is ALOT to do. Its the kind of creative game dwarf fortress fans can get into.

[chaotic skies]

The end-game for most people amounts to "How ridiculously huge can I build everything?" or "How tiny can I make everything, to then copy/paste it until it's huge?" and that kind of thing. There's some good mods for endgame though, like Bob's that just throws everything into a constant state of spaghetti-fied mess.

Yuoki has a lot to do.

It's been fixed, but at one point there was a thing where you could compress 5 coal into a stack with youki and then decompress it into 50 with a boxing mod. It was over powered as hell, if you needed coal. Otherwise I couldn't find a use for it.

[BigD145]

Yuoki itself compresses coal in at least 2 ways. You go straight to purple stuff or compress coal through at least 3 intermediaries. Each one is a bit more efficient in energy per unit, but of course you send energy to do that.

So, I finally bought this. Any good mods to recommend?

Build the rocket once on vanilla. Then go get Bobs mod and never look back.

Bobs mod is just more vanilla. Longer buildup. I'm partial to 5dim and yuoki. Bottleneck is good. Longreach is handy.

add angels ore to that and you got a even longer game.

Isn't stuff like Extended Reach cheating?


Edit: So I should install ALL the Bob's mod? There is like 50 of them in the mod list.

Sorta. To me: it just saves you hiking and lets you think more about how to set up this circuit and less about where to stand. Enemies don't really guard important loot (except for alien artifacts I guess but you'll be close to them anyways if you're attacking) or anything like that so it's not super exploitative.

[BigD145]

Install 0 of Bob's mod. Much less confusing that way.

Its a single player game, labeling things cheating is beside the point.

Especially since if you're playing in MP, you decide what mods beforehand anyway.
