Please reduce the size of the cores so you dont end up having to build a skyscraper?

These frequent updates are amazing! As an idea, please add more tiers of the M-Hauler Cap tech. Currently it caps at 3, and as such, monorail can only bring 240 items per trip. Yes, they travel fast but not THAT fast. This cap is way, WAY too low for even moderately large bases. I have to have use 4 monorail depots of limestone for my relatively small Atlantum-infused limestone---->Atlantum Slab factory. This example is using the new recipes, so you can imagine how rough it is for my existing production lines that are way larger.

Also, please don't release your awesome new content the same week that DSP releases their new content, I can only be a groundbreaker OR Icarus at one time lol!

I was promised an UPDATE, not a piece of NEWS.

Nice, Im really digging the artwork for the current base materials we just received. This will be nice to create a solid looking wall or pathway.
RayBeans Jan 8, 2024 @ 12:24pm 
I am confused, is this released now or just a teaser? Anyway, Sounds great, keep the updates coming!

100%! It's really nice to use for large areas.

Hey if it makes you feel better, I also suggested that DSP not release content the same week as Techtonica! It's honestly a massive compliment to your devs for making content that is compelling and makes me have to balance two excellent games! Of course I was excited/surprised back in December and of COURSE I played both, I'm just sayin, RIP my free time in the best way possible :)

More building pieces are always nice. Glass would be even better. The environment is beautiful i hate hide it in concrete. Can we paint the concrete?

Thanks! This looks cool! I am enjoying the game so far, but I think my 2 biggest problems are...

a) Protected zones - oh my gosh these can be so annoying - sometimes you're building a nice little base, and then a random lump of terrain in the middle is just protected for no reason, ruins your base! Wah lol... The current protected zones actual block selection seems quite haphazard! I could give some examples if that helps.
You need to build cranks on the waterline, but often you have lumps of protected zone poking up for no reason. Blocks your crank building :(

b) Beacons! They don't do anything! A little "Beacon" word on your compass, not very useful lol. You need to be able to name them, and they need to show up on the map, and as optional waypoints. Also hopefully you have a "world map" in the works, so we can see said beacons and stuff in a nice view. Currently navigation is difficult and confusing.

(both of these points are commonly brought up by the community)
Anyway, keep up the good work, yay!

Will concrete pieces be powered or will you have to build them in conjunction with the existing powered floor blocks? :alphys:

Can we please get 2x and 4x versions of the base building blocks. 1,3 and 5 are nice. But my need for even spacing far outweighs my will to re-design a factory layout. And by Base blocks I just mean:
Floors 2x2 and 4x4
Beams 1x2 and 1x4
Pillars 1x2 and 1x4
Walls 2x2 and 4x4
The only other thing I could ask for is maybe a Windows with glass inside the 4x4 wall or 4x4 floor.

Idea for monthly addon:
"Hidden in Hues" or "Dyed in Shades" or "A Color in full Company"
Can we turn plant matter into different Dye packs for Paint?
Painting the Base Building blocks makes each section of a factory a little more personal.
