New sad audio dev since when?

Assuming since @jambell became "Rotwood only", so a new dev is getting sad if you have no sound in the game. But that's just my assumption

Those are gorgeous. I especially like the paintings and wallpaper.

That being said, they are awfully slow to collect. I wonder when it is that we will finally be able to throw money in the devs' general direction and get those skins faster as a reward. I am desperate to fund you more than I already have.

I'm in for this also.

I want to pay smaller (reasonable) amounts to get skins, etc. It is my way to appreciate the developers and ensure a continuous development of ONI.

However, the hot question is what amounts are considered "reasonable." With regards to skins, honestly, I would argue for a range of 1 to 5 dollars. 

Small amounts like that make sense for skins and the overall amount would add up significantly if many players do that even only sometimes. 

Aside from that, I am eager to know how the developers envision this supply closet system. It is not yet finished, obviously.

I'm waiting for that too, but I guess Klei should first implement some unravel mechanics so we could trade duplicates we own for something else.

I'm super eager for both solutions!

Socks... I have too many socks! And there will be even more added!

I need a bed! And that new pedestal...

Does the devs get the crash report from the game or we have to do also a report? Because, I encounter a lot of random crashs since this beta branch, I have no mods.

I believe they do (otherwise I lost so much time commenting on what happened...) but making a bug report when you know what probably crashed may give more info. If they are totally random and non repeated crashes though.. then I don't know.

Everything is beautiful and super.
But why is KLEI still ignoring Coal Generator?
(Automation and filling problems are only filled when automation is active, please add a new checkbox or new automation input)

Only those who have had to lock the coal generator room door will understand this.

Coal doesn't sound like the scope of this update, they can't do everything at once

That reminds me we have coal generator. I have not built any coal generators so long that I almost forget we can burn coal.

Super Sustainable will let you convert to later technology with better generators.

In this case it's the players' choice how to deal with coal generators and wood burners. Either manually supply or learn how to properly make an automated setup. Ironically enough, the slider included in these generators is often ignored. Then again, who wants to build 9 jumbo batteries for this to actually be useful on a coal generator? (Or 2 for a wood burner...)

Yes, the coal generator is almost a smart battery in disguise when properly set up. A rather wasteful one nonetheless if you consider the jumbo batteries' power runoff - or as I see it: "free" heat generation.

The best way to provide for coal generators is done once the shipping system is researched. Removing the CO2 somehow is good for heat control, but the best side gig of the coal generators is actually heat deletion by using the coal that they consume for that matter. A closed box with insulated tile makes even more sense then - no door in the end.

Setting the generators' slider to 100 and then giving good range of charge with the smart battery allows for the autosweepers to consistently fill coal generators and wood burners.

The "No manual delivery" mod pretty much blasts away many dupe related delivery tasks. This I mention because these generators actually have tasks generate for dupes only when active/enabled by automation. And dupes love to steal tasks from autosweepers...

Anybody that's dealt with kilns knows they go in a sealed box or behind closed doors to keep dupes grubby little hands off. But the building best served by having this option is the automatic dispenser, but I digress...
