End game is still so way too TEDIOUS - a game so few complete shouldn't be OP rating

[Steve10393]

Blueprint manufacturer needs to be 10x as big so you can do large factories not just cubes that are useful for mid-game only - you need to be able to move around much faster than hoverpack moves - everything is just SO SLOW AND TEDIOUS in end game - it's not an accomplishment of game developement if only players that play 500 hours+ finish your game....

The developers have made a great game. I have no issue playing it as they envisioned. If I want to go crazy, I will do that once mod support comes back.

The blueprint designer was never intended for you to just copy/paste entire factories.

It really sounds like this game is just not for you.

Use more sloops and boosters instead of doubling the number of buildings you place down

Slapping sloops down is not a viable solution to most problems. They are an extremely limited resource. A single manufacturer requires 4 of them.

So what your really saying is that you don't have the mental capacity or patience to play the game?

..but you can move around much faster than with the Hoverpack, which is best kept for building with only.

Keep in mind that this game is all about building and efficiency. That is the core.

Sure we got a little story from sphere and sloop and the "initial landing" but it is a sandbox game that just allow you to build whatever you want within the limited tech/resources around you.

It is VERY free form open world unlike Fallout 4 or something similar where you have more story and "big bad" that you have to defeat.

In this game, the "big bad" is can you complete all the phases in the space elevator (one of them)

the other "optional big bad" is can you build the "maximize" production with what you have using blueprint, resource management, and inginuity.

There is no "wrong way" to build things. You can be organize, sloppy, or in between. I have seen videos that people build some SERIOUSLY nice 5x5 and 6x6 buildings that can do one thing but product 100/minutes or 1000/min

I personally LOVE train. I just want to build rail all over and make it look nice later like "snowpiercer" style ;)

Stop trying to finish the game and just play it.

Quoting ADA:
If you find youself struggling to work within the set size restrictions, remember that this is a you problem, and efficency can always be improved

[Jack-o-Lantern]

And anyway there's a blueprint designed that can handle many more foundations than 4x4, 5x5, 6x6 ....

it's called save / load game.. it build all your factories at once

[Fenix]

Most people that rush the phases can have the game beat in 100 to 250 depending on knowledge of how the game works…. Unless you Epiphany and do it in 21 hours

Or this ADA quote:
"Any complaints about the spatial restictions will only reveal your own inefficiencies."

95% of the community tries to cram everything into 32x32x32 blueprints but I think this is a mistake, and instead you should use the blueprint to make bits of manifolds & buildings you can piece together. If you try to make the perfect 32x32x32 cube you're spending so much time in the blueprint editor that it isn't actually saving time.

I agree Hoverpack is stupidly slow though.

Yeah this. Sounds like your average game consumer who wants to move from Game A to B in 10 hours or less.
