Advanced Game Settings (AGSs)

[FlangEG]

If you were to select just one of the AGSs, which would it be? For me it would be unlock alternate recipes instantly. This would make it slightly less tedious and more streamlined. You can get through early game faster this way. Especially in Northern Forest. For mid-game, it would mean that you don't have to tear everything down constantly.

my unusual approach (so far) is to not use alternate recipes. I am absolutely not keen to tear down anything (!)

and to be honest: I am still quite busy with memorizing just all the vanilla recipes.

BTW:
Where exactly are these AGS?

Fly Mode. Absolutely.

@Gordon: AGS is per save, not a global setting, so you need to load a save first then you will see the option to enable AGS for that save. And then the advanced options will appear in the main menu. It will stay that way. Any new save will be a normal save again, however.

Here's a link to their official Youtube Video on the AGS. Go to 14:00 for AGS Settings.

Is this an actual thing? Because I don't see it anywhere in the settings.

But yeah, Fly Mode too, with unlocked alternate recipes a distant second, but a second none the less. It's annoying having to put up power lines to hover, or using a jetpack that runs out of fuel after 15-20 seconds at best.

Thanks, I'll have to look up what that entails first though, I'm not gonna permanently modify my save for something I don't know if I need. But all in good time, I have a factory to build!

Basically AGS is like creative mode from Minecraft, using db mode in 7 days to die, Playing a game of cod against 2 teams made up of bots.

You wont get achievements etc on the save where you have them switched on, its pretty much a sandbox mode. Great for testing out newer machines (If you are not that far along) or streamlining your whole set up without any cost and the ability to fly without fuel/power being needed.

1.0 and achievements are far away.
I could create now a new game session to test the flight mode for example, but why bother?

If 1.0 comes I will play a new game session and earn the achievements.

[FlangEG]

I only use it once in a while. The other one I use is no build cost, but this is only for testing out a new idea/planning ahead for a more efficient power grid.

If I had to narrow it to just 1 it would be No Cost Build, Flight Mode is great but then you are always Flying to grab stuff instead of running to grab stuff and I finished running after the 3rd or so playthrough.

I hope CSS implements a global system for build items at some point because that is the most tedious part of the game. Would be nice to have to pay but just not carry everything. Could be some sort of time penalty on the construction while the items arrive or some something but having to run across the map to get more material to finish building a belt is just so v5.

[Zaflis]

Who's to say you even can get achievements with a save that is made before 1.0. The game balance has changed over the years ever so slightly.

I use a lot of alternate recipes so instant unlock for them or fly mode. Having fly just makes building a lot easier for me. I can see what I'm doing.

[TH3R4BB!T]

Alternative is handy if they shorten production lines (and so cleaner), like the screws that you can make from ingot instead of ingot => rods => screws, also the pure ingots are a must

[Fenix]

Honestly I’d rather, and already have a save where I used the SCIM to unlock all alt recipes, MAM research, and Awesome shop items (except Specials)
Also revealed the map on that save.
I’ve done it once legit, I don’t feel like doing it again… at least until v1.0
I don’t want the AGS turned on my current saves.
