ChickenMadness Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 First time starting a new game since the quality of life update went live. Usually you'd have to finish the bunker wall across the top of the map before cycle 300 if you want to keep the upper biomes alive. Do you still have to do this? Would be great news if they've fixed it so I don't have to worry about it anymore. I prefer buiilding my bases in the beginning and leaving the space biome for later.

hacksaw12 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 This was my current game, on release just before QoL update, don't think there was much change in the meteor bombardment. I finished the ceiling wall off at cycle 473, had no lost biomes, and only 5 relatively small abyssalite breaches. So, you're probably about right, somewhere between 300 and 400 cycles to prevent any damage.

Incorrect - from the QoL patch notes: Quote Regolith Meteors once again drop enough Regolith to blanket the surface in a protective layer and prevent destruction of the surface. The deeper the layer, the less Regolith meteors will deposit, up to about 8 tiles. The QoL update changed meteor bombardment. You no longer have to worry about protecting the surface.

ruhrohraggy Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 The density of regolith that meteors dropped was reduced. The volume was increased to compensate and stop total devastation. It will coat the top with a red hot regolith layer, but shouldn't punch into the biomes below now.

0xFADE Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 They heavily over corrected the meteors. They do way less damage and let off much less heat. My current map had very little surface damage with just one breach on what I can only assume was a very high biome and the surface was not a uniform several hundred c There is also far less regolith being generated for better or worse.

Nitroturtle Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I recently breached the surface on my game started on the QoL branch while testing. Just before cycle 400 and I had zero biome penetration. It seems like they greatly increased regolith though, so I don't understand the comments about it being reduced. I have about 4x as much regolith this game versus my last prior to QoL and breached the surface at roughly the same time.

In one of the dev updates I remember them saying that the amount per tile of regolith was reduced, but it will drop more tiles of it so it doesn't punch through the top biomes. It still ends up being an overall net increase...but would have been super-crazy bananas had they just left the density alone. Either me or someone else would need to confirm this, but I'm fairly certain it used to be upwards of 1,500kg per tile, and now it's 1,000kg per tile or less.

jfc Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Yeah i'm almost on cycle 400 and plenty of regolith to protect from meteors, i started building steel wwall already but not really worried. Glad they changed it.

tzionut Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Quote How do you handle the material (rego/mafic), you get from this "great fix"?Voles and other critters are bugged. Is simple. you can't in the previous version before increase the quantity of regolith dropped from dust comet my 5 shove vole eat in 300 cycle all the 630 tones of regolith in my asteroid, after upgrade i have a constant 20 - 40 tones more regolith after each storm.. so i terminate the solar energy program and close the project. Now the sollar panels are useless if you want to play bugles. If not the bug whit regolith disappearance whit horizontal doors is the way to play it.
