ATM Reaper Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 So now that Radiation is a thing, whats next for the testing branch? Anyone know what else is due for spaced out before release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulstar Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 More radiation I guess, it is called a research reactor for some reason and we also know the interplanetary payload launcher is not yet implemented, as is also the case with uranium eating shinebugs.

mfd Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I expect upcoming Gamma Ray Oven to convert radiation into resin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tytan Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 it remains to refine the mechanics and transform them more useful than simply a "machine to explode" in addition to showing the dangers of radiation from radioactive objects when I saw it I thought it would be simple, but when they added space radiation and even shiny radioactive bugs, I believe they have some plan up their sleeve... besides... why does uranium ore not emit radiation?

SharraShimada Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I guess they will add more space-stuff. Space has been cut down to a travel thing in the DLC, and thats not to remain that way i hope. I do really want that "get there, grab something, come back" thing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurgel Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 There still is the "interplanetary launcher" which I expect will allow interplanetary supply chains a bit like the teleporter. It may encourage us to keep a permanent dupe population on each astroid and at the same time make that possible in the first place.

The biggest roadblock I've found now is needing to do research on board a rocket to get solid transport. Which requires that I get a few hundred kg of plastic first.

Now you need a rocket, plastics, go a to different asteroid, etc.. Not complaining, I actually like the challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbd115 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Personally I'm hoping for meteorites so solar energy isn't so easy, even with the radiation research its still too easy. Plus I feel like there's not much of a need for steel production and power use. Bunker doors and auto mining used to be half the reason we needed solar energy. Edit: also just remembered that someone mentioned awhile ago that there was a radioactive meteorite in the assets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should make a game difficulty setting which Very Easy - would be no advanced research needed, Easy - No Atomic research needed, Normal - All research needed, Hard - All research needed but at double all research points. Would make the game customisable to your preferred difficulty level. BTW here is what is next in testing branch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach123b Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 i'm guessing they'll flesh out radiation/radbolts some more with some uses like the new nuclear rocket. need that gamma ray oven but God, i hope they add endgame stuff soon, like in a month soon. like the temporal tear needs to be re-added. then replay stuff like traits and more/different planetoids. currently i feel like i'm just stumbling through the game and the only progression is the research tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW here is what is next in testing branch: I have the testing branch and the solar panels only takes 5 atomic research which is very easy to do. It doesn't take any interstellar research. I think the current system is fine but I'm not a huge fan of how you get interstellar research. I kinda preferred just sending up a rocket with research modules to bring back data to research rather then using what little space I have in a command module for a research module that consumes power and plastic. Not that I mind it consuming those things but its just a very annoying system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharraShimada Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I´m too not very pleased with the orbital microlab. You have to support it with plastic, which you cant get on the starting asteroid. Then you have to start the rocket for a long time into space to operate it. Its just a huge waste of time and effort. And its annoying as hell. And the whole thing to get a bit of research, and you never need the system again after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to support it with plastic, which you cant get on the starting asteroid. Not true: You get enough to make some plastic from the oil around the teleporter. After that you get 500kg plastic from some care packages. Also, the research goes really fast if you have a dupe that is a good researcher. I sent one up there and 10 points research did not even made is pee itself, because the dupe finished the research fast enough. The only issue I see is that it currently does not tell you it needs plastic until you try to use it. Otherwise it is pretty painless to use, provided you have some CO2 stored up. Also, the CO2 engine does not seem to produce any power, so you need a Hamster-Wheel and battery in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suggestedone9 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 well, we are still waiting on stuff like the gamma ray oven and other cool things related to radiation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
