Quality of Life Upgrade Mk 1 Available Now! - 299745

[chemie 655]

pretty sure rock crusher queue is causing crashes....

[nets 25]

Gained about 8 FPS in the exact same area i was using as a baseline for testing different optimizations from last night. Zoom seems to be wider but still the results were better. Seems snappier now. Thank you Klei! Correction: It's muuuch better than i initially thought. Base at cycle 1714 - feels like a base started at cycle 100. THANK YOU KLEI!!!

There sure is a lot more regolith falling from the skies since the update. My robo-miners can’t keep up with all of it and are overheating and breaking, even if they’re made of steel. Guess I’m going to need to install mech airlocks and crush it all instead, right?

The new trim is really nice, but I really miss the initial Crown Molding tile you guys had in the early versions of the preview branch.  I thought that tile looked fantastic.  But I digress, great update.

[Coolthulhu 975]

The new plants are all identical, new paintings are worse than old ones, marble sculptures are worse than old sculptures at any level beyond undecorated. Any plans to make decor interesting?

I love the new wall pots...except for the fact that the only seem to work on the left side of rooms.  Rotate got missed I take it?

• Metal Refineries will stop working if output pipe is blocked

Oops on my loops of oil through the metal refinery until well heated, then on to the petroleum refinery. Now the oil stops when it gets back to the input pipe, will now have to be made without continuous loop.

I still want to see some sort of material checkpoint, for a quality of life enhancement~

I use a sensor with shut off valve,  so if its blocked you can redirect the flow.

definitely!  I have suggested this before.  

especially for controlling  ICE/SNOW so they don't carry it from a cold biome to another cold biome where it melts during transport.

very useful to have separate storage within a zone.  a door that blocks carrying items through will help a lot!

You can still do it, you just need to add a liquid reservoir between the output and input.

This is amazing.  If they added only this for QoL mk2, I think I'd be satisfied.

They should add this feature on the Duplicant Checkpoint on the automation building. Right now the dupe checkpoint has too few uses that it is better to use doors to automate dupe traffic.

Wonderful update. i really like the paintings and the baby shovel. Didn't see it yet.

Here you go:

You're welcome!

Thank you devs, have a great holiday!

Last night I've tried to make petroleum the old fashioned way, with the refinery building that needs a dupe to run it. I built it behind an Exosuit checkpoint.

Now the dupes keep running to the refinery, use it for a split second and run back to get out of their Exosuit. There are no other more important jobs they are running to. Mostly they just idle right after they dropped their Exosuit.

The refinery keeps two or three dupes busy running back and forth and produces very little petroleum.

it's just the placement ghost, if you place them on the right they automatically rotate to connect to the wall, it was raised... more than once.... in preview

is there too much air pressure to vent the natural gas? pipes are clear to flow? (just ticking off the "usual" suspects)

I am sure I am not the only annoyed end user out here in end user land, I think it is disgusting words almost escape me in describing just how cheated I feel, this is a most heinous breach of loyalty to your customer base....


                                                                                                                                                                                                           
"In addition, the team will be taking a two week break over the holidays and getting back to it in the New Year. The next update will be on schedule in 8 weeks, coming out February 7th."

                                                                                                                                                                                                           
How dare you, I think you should be working at least 12 hours per day over the holidays, 15 hours on the 25th, and 24 hours back to back on the 31st/1st..

In all seriousness though, have some RR with your nearest and dearest over the season, look forward to seeing the extra polish when you all come back hopefully rested, possibly a few pounds heavier and almost definitely a few £'s lighter...

Thank you so much for making such excellent games.

I like "End userland" - This could be a cave world on the Frozen Strawberry Ice Planet, where its too cold and not too hot. Hidden in end userland is the holy beer keg, which is a valuable trophy to have in any dupe bedroom.

The Frozen Strawberry Planet is an allotment of various stranded Strawberry meteors. A dupe which has never had the Strawberry Experience is considered a virgin.

Yes, would make sense!
Frozen Nose Planet, not implemented now. (PPL want this since decades of festivus celebrated!(Players most wanted))

Chocolate rocks that are really edible?

Sry for me, now a bit offtopic, but @Ipsquiggle"Lazy Critter Bug - LCB" still active (Expelling waste"-save reload does not fix that).
For shovis it's not the worst thing (exploit!!!), because easy to wrangle, but hatch farm and aquarium only dead meat left.
Smart move to force player, to get new critters through rocketsz!
