Internal Playtest – Working Transports, Twitch.tv Comments in Game, Naval Balances, and more! – 2/12

Damn you

Hahaha. Sorry. I'm on my phone right now.

But it will be added! Unless Uber changed their minds. Either way, the new factory design is nice.

One thing I noticed - when they smash the planet a big lake is created. Is that new? Never seen that before?

When a planet is crashed nearby a water pool, it fills with water. That's not new, that appears since beta release

I can handle roughe edges, but i want to test all the new features *_*
you guys let us wait so loooooooong from Patch to Patch

I don't understand why people require stability in a game still in development. They should know that there's going to be stability issues, performance issues, bugs, etc. Before going into a game in early access and what that means. It's simply just boggles my mind. Personally I wanted to see and be involve in the development process. That means understanding stability issues and other things when they arise. People should expect fluidity from build to build also nothing is done everything is still being worked on. There is only room for improvement from here.

The best solution would be to build an object that reads in all of the blueprints into a list, and then assembles itself into a new list that accurately reflects the layers of inheritance. In a full IDE it's not that big a deal, but I'm not sure a simple script would cover it as well.

i do this since area patrol exists xD for me that is an obvious thing to do. The constant reconnaissance is worth much more than the eco drain of the factory

Epicness approved.

There is an argument that they need to start looking at optimisation and stability, those things are normally the last thing to be done but in all honesty PA is such a pig to run that I struggle to playtest any more. My PC is pretty good so I reckon if I'm having issues it means they're probably losing quite a few more players and opinions.

They are currently working on optimization but the problem with doing that right now that they can undo those optimization if there is a lot of changes in a build. They are currently working on network optimization and general performance improvements. For the people that are leaving there probably don't understand what a early access or alpha and beta involves.

Watching the air transporters in use made me think about air units passing through stargates. I sense some epic invasion scenarios with air transporters. Players would be able to send a small or medium-sized task force attacking a place away from the teleporter while trying to establish a beach head.

^this

We don't require it. We expect bugs.

But crashes and performance issues are annoying.

What I am saying is from players not all but some seem to think otherwise from their behavior. As for the crashes and performance issue well as balance the game's not finished yet. So if you can't handle the heat stay out of the kitchen.
