QoL Upgrade Mk 3 Now Open For Testing! [320058]

[tHe_silent_H]

still no plumbed taps for QOL

[Oozinator]

The new "slimelung" is different. It hits hard, that's ok for me.
Infected by breathing PO - 6 cycles reduce status - no mess table researched at that point - researched  mess table for medbay, then sick dupe for 6 cycles in medbay.
Recieving care speeds up healing by 30% but lasts 0.3 cycles.
A bit different then before, not bad but different.
What happens when it's a dupe with high morale needs and it stays in medbay all cycle long, is stress raising, or is it balanced?

Why... why... why... would you change the automation input by one tile on some machinery? Didn't notice it right away and now the base is nearly ruined.

But I guess it's time to start a new one! Love you Klei!

This sounds like a bug. If there's any in particular you're aware of, please let us know in this thread or in the Bug Reports!

@Kley
What is the point of the whole new job system (or however you want to call it now)? how will it improve the game or my gaming experience? Did nobody make those questions to themselves in your team? This was just a complete and utter waste of developing time. I bet it was just to make the game more gamey,

 

I am sincerely disappointed in this update, release is just a couple of months away, and you haven't fixed what is broken, and haven't added the stuff that was supposed to be on this particular game that is near release date.

 

Good luck with the DLC.

+ 1 

for me its looks strange:

1) game mechanics - no change (-)

2) skill - change that not change nothing exept mouse click point ? ok we cant use all skills - but its change only late game and really not change overall strategy (-)

3) new building - nothing special - no new game exp ice maker / hydrofun is very minor impact to game (-)

4) conveior / steam  improvments - ok its logical (+)

5) medicine - maybe ok - need to test, in QoL2 its too easy - maybe now it add some challenge (+)

6) new content (biomes / critters / story / ets) - nothing..... (------)

I am really disappointed

They didn't promise any biomes or critters for this QOL, they promised them for RELEASE, so that way there would be content in the release update

Also, I'd like to clarify:

"Insulated storages" isn't a new building, it means that now several of the existing buildings will prevent world temperature transfer with the items they contain. Sorry for the confusion.

but is 30% worth the dup time of a doctor.  I mean 4.8 vs 6 cycles compared to losing likely more than that for your doctor?

if that includes regular compactors, that would be huge auxiliary impact to game play

So your saying that when Otto drags down 400C iron from space and places it in the container that is in my base at 21c it won't cook my base?

They'll also be able to make medicine, which will further increase the rate of recovery (presumably).

What does the material overlay actually do?

It highlights different materials in different colors, and it offers a filter to choose between metals, minerals, gasses, etc.

I like the color of mercury, but how is it still solid xD

(Mercury should (or maybe will^^) be a liquid at this temperature.)

[Sienar]

Getting pretty consistent crash, 3 times now, trying to assign the Plumber hat to a dupe.

[Siigari]

Yo. I know the new font came in a few patches ago, but it is very bulky.

[Sienar]

Well, I've lost count of crashes now, easily about 2 dozen on a map started with qol2. Gonna start a new I guess and see if there's as much crashing.

Reported and fixed in the next patch. Something to do with the art, I gather, since the fix report mentioned adding placeholder art.

has anyone figured out which ones?

 

[Boxman_90]

The new automation-port placement on the Aquatuner (bottom left now vs top-right previously) breaks my existing designs, ones that I can't open up / get into with dupes anymore to adapt without an extreme amount of effort.

I'm not sure why this decision was made and if it's an important one, but if at all possible I'd like to see that reverted or at least approached with a compatibility-version like the new steam turbine.

[Ipsquiggle]

@ROlya @Boxman_90 The port placements have been fixed in the patch that just went out!

[Boxman_90]

That was fast, my design works again, thanks!

@Ipsquiggle

Just in case you guys missed these important bug reports, here is the current infinity exploit race. 

• Liquid duplication.
• Gaseous matter conversion (Bug report was marked as fixed, but bug still exists - and it now appears to have been removed by R9MX4 i.e. FIXBUGFIXBUGFIX. I wonder if he's removing all his posts....  Here is a new post. )
• Infinite power loops.
• Pitcher pump cooling

wow...now it's easier to drown dupes?

More like now no more stuffing around manually telling a dupe to go into a body of water before they'll even consider doing a task further through it.  

The limit on how far they could go always seemed weirdly tiny. The little guys have a pretty impressive lung capacity, the only times I've had ones at risk of drowning/suffocating is when they trapped themselves in somewhere while building or fell into a pit while digging (or their jetpacks ran out of fuel >_<).  Mostly the limit just seemed to make any alterations to your reservoirs, and similar spots, a giant pain in the proverbial.
