EleriusX Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Please show a silhouette of the area that needs to be clear for the telescope. Nothing more frustrating than thinking you are meeting the criteria of the description, but it doesn't work. You already do this for light sources. It seems like the same code could be adapted to the telescope and other things that have "area of effect" requirements. 5 tile radius. 5 tiles from where?

sheaker Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Prepare array like this: Keep in mind there are only 4 detectors shown. Last two are below screen. 6 scanners total! Keep distances! Don't use any other equipment close to scanners. EDIT: I am sorry I merged two topics I was previewing.

nakomaru Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I think this might be a suggestion, but in case it is a question, it's these tiles you need, and all the way the up.

EleriusX Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 I should have been more clear that I was talking about the DLC alpha telescope, which is a bit different. Same frustration applies to the old telescope though. How hard would it be to render a silhouette over the area that needs to be clear when the building is selected. It would make them far less confusing/frustrating to get started with. I should have posted this in feedback suggestion forums, not general. Oops.

Sasza22 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Keep in mind that any gas will act as a sight blocker for the telescope if it`s above it. This is especially a problem in the dlc where you got background tiles extending high above the the top biome and any gas released will linger there for several cycles.

EleriusX Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 That is probably what was hitting me. Gas blocking line of sight on the telescope makes no sense to me; solid tiles, sure It just felt buggy. I honestly wasn't sure if I should report it as a bug or not.

RonEmpire Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 This is a very good suggestion. Having an outline for the telescope and scanners would really help alot. I'm always having to count my tiles for the scanner placements. This should also include things like machine interference distance radius around the scanner. And visible light of sight ranges for detection Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/124837-telescope-frustration/#findComment-1405507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need clean (possibly thin) air, the less pollution the better. And also still air, no wind. Now, a tiny bit of CO2 isn't going to completely block a telescope, that's true. But since a tiny drop of crude oil can block a 200t tank of water in the ONI universe, I wouldn't expect something much different with the telescope.

If that is, indeed, what was causing me problems, then they need to explicitly call it out in the description, because I was fully outside by base, and if there was any atmosphere it was in the milligram to microgram range. Oddly, I finally got it to work by enclosing it with tiles and glass tiles on top, above the the "back-wall", added my own sheetrock back-wall, and filled it with PO2 so my researcher didn't have to run back for air every few seconds. So my only conclusion at this point is that the telescope is buggy.

(again, talking about the DLC content) I`m pretty sure the dlc telescope works just like the live one when it comes to range above it: Spoiler You can see it works when fully covered above but the tiles to the left are empty. Deson`t even need to have space tiles behind. I`m pretty sure the telescope in the base game worked the same.
