Completed New Map

[XB]

I completed the new map - 100% everything. I enjoyed the new maps with the islands floating everywhere. I also enjoyed figuring out how to use the bulldozer to build roads starting from the highest islands to the lower ones by driving off the edge - waiting a second and left clicking to continue at a slightly lower level. There are tons of resources available although some are hard to find. This can be fixed by brute forcing them with the bulldozer. What I didn't enjoy was the forced break every 30-50 minutes having to watch to meteor cut screen. Instead of a game over it should just go back to the game. What if you wanted to play relaxed and just let resources build up for a few hours while you watch a movie etc?
All in all it was a fun map to play.

Also there should be an upgraded water collector.

How did you make the radiation isiolent? The only island I could find with an amethyst mine does not have copper on it.

Build a bridge between islands and have a boat load of material to build fast transport belts between islands. You can also make a cargo ships and carry the materials between islands. Building a bridge is easy, Just start at the higher altitude island with the bulldozer - drive slightly off the edge and left click. This will continue the bridge at a slightly lower level then just rinse and repeat until you get there, If you need oxygen just build a temporary house on the way. Same with vehicle batteries - just make new batteries or build a vehicle garage with a charger. Remember to daisy chain power along the way. Hope this helps.

If you go the cargo ship route you can use the control - mouse click to move all stacks between open inventories. Shift mouse click will move just 1 stack. Just attach a container via a conveyor belt to one of inputs on the assembler and move the item into the container.

Thanks all for the input.. I guess I was hoping for a less messy solution. So terraforming I go...

Edit: You don't need to build a bridge to run a conveyor belt between islands if you have jetpacks :)

I tried to build a bridge using base compartments. Get inside first one pointing the way to go and start building more rooms and running forward. Great idea (no oxygen problems) but a fun fail or is that fall. Gets to around 15 rooms then the floor disappears and you end up in a continuous loop falling into the depths and back in the room with no floor. To get out without respawning I had to try create another room underneath.
