Rainbowdesign Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 In the coming months Oni is planned to leave early release. I wonder a bit about that i have trouble considering a game nearly finished when: Duplicants dig or build themselfs to death and you have to watch their every step. Duplicants climb a mile down and up to get something to just drop it before they are at the top again, and then climb again down to get it again (and eternally so on). Duplicants suffocating because they cannot decide to which oxygen source the want to run and run back and forward because they just cannot decide. Klei you can do better!

Sorry, aside from the last one, I don't think these are bugs, but features. It makes building things much more challenging when Dupes can 'oops'. It gives the game a bit of it's charm. Also, creating an AI for dupes that can intelligently and thoroughly avoid circumstances like this would not only be very dev time intensive, it would also be resource intensive during play, thus resulting in more lag as dupes need to figure out what to do. Both digging/building themselves into a corner and the dropping can be avoided with smart play ( ie. ensure what they're doing won't result in digging/building themselves in a corner, and using ladders that aren't 20 miles long ) The last problem is one that is one that would be nice to have removed, but it happens only very rarely. Bigger issues like late game lagging and framerate drops are much more pressing to me.

This used to happen alot, now it only happens in very rare cases (e.g. building a line of tiles in the lower part of a 2-tile high corridor.). It is a nuissance but it definitely does not force you to "watch their every step".

Sasza22 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 There are 2 major updates before launch. The preveiw for one hits this thursday. It`s possible they are working on the release branch separately for a while already (how long would it take to create 3 entirely new biomes with plants and critters). Thare is still time to fix the obviously broken stuff.

Now normally you would wonder most maps have little caves so thats why it does not happen, my map has many caves. In the last dev live stream, the devs tried to do exactly this several times and were not able to do it. It is not that easy to pull off. I am sure that if they had a working strategy to drop dupes into nothingness, they would fix it (if applicable). 1 minute ago, Rainbowdesign said: Again not everytime a dupe is out of oxygen it will drop what he holds dig a hole with carbon dioxide on the bottom put something valuable there it happend EVERYTIME. ah, that's why. you did not mention oxygen in your OP. I am using exosuits for all dupes, everywhere. Nothing gets dropped. ez pz. 1 minute ago, Rainbowdesign said: I consider something which kills a dupe gamebreaking. I have the feeling you try for some reason to play down that issues. Not a single one of your bugs kills a dupe. Bug #1 entomes a dupe and allows you to excavate him in due time. Yes, the dupe can die, but unless your workers are very stubborn, he wont. (If he falls down a cave, just build a ladder. even if he falls into lava (!), you can still build a ladder) Bug #2 slows down your dupes carrying stuff. Does it kill dupes? Maybe after 20 cycles, because nothing in your base moves, but that is not because of the bug, but because of the normal constraints of the game (oxygen, food). Bug #3 lowers your oxygen production. It doesnt suddently kill a dupe either. You can do all sorts of things to tackle the issue. It goes without saying that it feel unintuitive. But maybe you can fix it on your end by assigning different priorities to your algae terrariums. 1 minute ago, Rainbowdesign said: I am not sure, i know they worked on dupes to death some time ago but not fix it totally.

Yunru Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Indeed, it's much more likely that "two major updates before release" means exactly that. My guess: Rest of content, followed by QoL 3. After all, while full release is a big milestone, RC to release isn't a major update.

Sasza22 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It`s entirely possible that the new content uses no new systems. All the critter stuff is done, adding extra resources won`t cause major bugs, new buildings would use the same input/output systems already tested so any bugs heppening might be graphical glitches or already existing bugs. This would also mean that all major bugs would have to be fixed in the next upgrade or after release.
