which speed do you play on?

[metallichydra]

which speed do you play on?

speed multipliers (in case someone forgot)

pause (0x)

slow speed (1x)

medium speed (2x)

fast speed (3x)

and then im pretty sure there's also

debug speed (10x)

[Lancar]

Yes

[Xuhybrid]

yes

[Angpaur]

I play on pause only. But my dupes wont do anything! HELP!

[DiCrEn]

Pause when I build things and debug speed when I wait for the dupes build it

[Lacost]

Gotta go fast!

At least until the lag drags it down...

[Abt9]

The always right answer.

Yes.

[metallichydra]

can someone please tell me why they play on pause?!?

[Craigjw]

When the lag is so bad that you have it on maximum speed, but switching to slow speed increases game speed...

When I started this game I played in pause. I am very OCD and it use to stress me out about making a mistake in the way I planned out my base. I would carefully layout a bunch of stuff and then move to fast speed and babysit the dupes as they went. Haha what got me to stop playing that way was me and my friend playing “multiplayer” ONI as we call it. We both launch the same seed and have to take a dupe every time the printer pod goes off and pausing is not allowed. Whoever’s bass is in the best shape when we finish “wins”

To build of course, as lag is dramatically reduced!

How do you determine when either base is finished?

Finished playing for the time being, not the base. We would only do like 30-50 cycles. I admit it’s not the most exciting but it was fun while we learned to play. At the time there was a good chance one base would catastrophically fail, slime lung out breaks and dead dupes everywhere.

I cant stand anything slower then 3x. But I generally play at debug speed 10x

[Dracian]

Most of the time, I prefer Slow speed, except when there's nothing else than watching my dupes work, in which case I switch to Fast speed

[Anacross]

Pause for construction/dig planification.

x3 is the slow speed

x10 most of the time

I never use x1 or x2

 

I got the same problem for game like surviving mars/factorio where without a speed mod ; the game is boring.

I thought in the past there was issues with the game playing at 10x speed? Like gas calculations would be missed and electrolyzers would produce weird values, is this still the case?

Not sure if its still the case. For me personally, if its been happening, its not enough to throw off anything that I do.

2x speed is fast enough for me. 1x is too slow, for anything other than resolving lag. My internal clock works at 2x, while 3x is just too fast. If only 2x had been the baseline and 1x been "half of 2x", it would have been wonderful.
