Why on earth does this game punish folks trying to get started?
It is arguably the worst tutorial that ever existed..
I’ve played games for more decades than I’d like to admit,
There is absolutely NOTHING intuitive about the interface or any tooltips to overcome the unknown.
I thought this might be a cross between Civilisation and Satisfactory, that would’ve been awesome.
I’m currently annoyed and want to punch a dev.
I would say I am in the mid-game, and I am running out of resources underground. Can I build a 2nd MDR? I really haven't done much on the moon's surface besides a few contracts and the MDR mining rare earth. I guess my mining needs to move upstairs. Don't really know what is need for the shift.
I have 5 MDRs mining Regolith, and I've accumulated around 200k Regolith sitting in a single Cargo Dock.
My setup is:
The Regolith composition isn't balanced. I have a lot of Iron Oxide, but I need a lot of Titanium.
I can deal with the excess Iron Oxide by adding storage, so that's not really my main concern.
The problem is getting Titanium when I need it immediately.
For example, even if I send an MDR to a Titanium deposit and bring back a full load of Regolith, that Regolith still has to go through the MRR. If my storage is already full of thousands of tons of Regolith with a high Iron Oxide percentage, it feels like I have to process tens of thousands of Regolith just to eventually get to the Titanium I actually need.
I don't want to keep building more and more processing buildings just to consume the excess Iron, because that creates an endless chain of needing more buildings, more power, more batteries, etc.
So if I need a large amount of Titanium RIGHT NOW, what's the solution?
Is there a way to specifically target Titanium production, or some way to process Titanium-rich Regolith separately so I'm not effectively waiting for tens of thousands of Regolith to be processed before I get enough Titanium?
How do you guys handle situations where you have plenty of one resource but urgently need another?
I was so glad to score an Earth slag contract... up until I saw its volume
Just a regular small batch in the Crust universe, I guess.
Has anyone else encountered a bug where the geological scan doesn’t display? I have scanned large parts of the map and there are no deposits showing up.
I haven’t played in an about a year so did they just change how easy it is to find a deposit or is it bugged?
I was thinking I would do a drones-only play through, but I'm starting to run into some hurdles, particularly around Nanotubes. Is this problem going to get exponentially worse as I progress, or can I viably play without human colonists?
