beowulf2010 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 So, it's not that I was getting bored of ONI, but some of the magic had started to wear off over the last 1,200 hours of playing. Now? Oh man, the fun is back. I've been playing on Verdante and it almost feels like I'm learning a new game. No algae without going into slime areas. Ok. Let's I'll ignore terrariums and try out Oxyferns and the rust deoxidizers. Oh, right. Rust is as far away. Well, I can dig though the salt and part of an oil are to get to it without slime. Oh, right, oil is hot. Sorry miner dude, I'll build you a hospital. So, no coal anywhere around the printer. No problem. Set up a lumber to ethanol to petroleum generator. (30 cycles later) Why is all this CO2 pushing my oxygen out if my bedrooms? Oh, right... Food? No problem. Let's do mealwood until I can get the lettuce growing. What the heck? Where did all this Mirth Leaf come from? Stop it Pips, I don't want Mirth Leaf in my salt water garden!! Miner dude, why are you hurt again? Oh, where'd that egg come from for set the Pokeshell off. Man, I had forgotten what it is like to actually be on the edge of a failing colony at times. Sure, I'm sure I could use my usual tactics and not have any trouble, but using what the asteroid gives you without some of the more advanced tactics that border on exploits (bottled polluted water and vertical liquid locks from multiple liquids) sure makes things different.

axxionx12 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I started on Aridio last night and spent the first 50 cycles in a complete panic and the starvation warning looming. Poor dupes basically have to eat dirt for the first hundred cycles. I had almost forgot what mush bars were since before I could rush mealwood then jump to mushrooms quickly. I had to rush ranching to make omelets because the entire base sits at 50C.

KittenIsAGeek Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The volcano one is crazy too. Early game is easy. Then you start seeing heat working its way into your base. That's when you notice that instead of abyssalite, there's METAL separating one of the many magma biomes from your base! Spoiler So far, I've found an iron volcano, regular volcano, minor volcano, and a chlorine vent. Rationing water has become an art. I decided to enter debug and look for where my water geyser was. Spoiler Turns out its JUST above the normal magma biome.

axxionx12 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 That's not ideal in the least! I'm looking forward to Rime in the next playthrough. Geothermal power in the magma zone and everything else chilly seems easy... Though I have to try out first.... Warming up seems to be much easier than deleting heat. The liquid tepidizer creates crazy amounts of heat that can be distributed. Starting will be pretty tough though..

I like this though, it gives importance to which dupe with which skill you want to focus on to start your colony, and obviously which tech to research and when to stop researching with super computer (yes Arboria, i am looking at you and your lack of water) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/108240-the-fun-returns/#findComment-1218430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebrait Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I have to stop the game a moment and remember how to make mush bars in arido! i start a ice asteroid game and is a little easy then the arido, but the beginning is hard too!

Xuhybrid Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I have to agree. However, this is only a preview. I played a session, got a taste of the new biomes and machines. That's enough for me until launch. I want it to be fresh for when all the features are final. Plenty could still change.

That is the beauty if this early access done very right: Although I was a bit late to the game (early 2018), I feel like I have gotten 3 or 4 games by now. And with the last update, this has gotten even better. So I will do Oceania now, and some of the others after release. Probably not the volcanic one, but Aridio sounds like a nice challenge.

DarkMaster13 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Learning how to solve the problems that the game throws at you *is* where the fun comes from in ONI. It's why I always shake my head at people giving links to detailed builds to new players or telling them exactly how they must build their bases. Once you know everything, "Now what?" syndrome sets in and you'd better be able to entertain yourself with crazy projects or you're going to be bored fast. The new starts, new biomes, new critters, and new buildings all add new problems for the player to solve. New opportunities to have fun. A reason to struggle once more. It's all exactly what the game needed for a full release.
