RIP double oil asteroids. It was fun while it lasted. I will miss those random, incorrect plant facts like releasing an explosion of decor or alleviating stress

Could there be an easier way to assign clothing to dupes? Having 40 dupes and clicking a piece of clothing and assigning individually is a pain.

You can make custom outfits, if that's what you mean

So... will all the other mods be broken next live update or can they be salvaged?

Less broken, but some will still remain broken

Could I be a bit of a pest and put a few bugs I've noticed but keep forgetting to get the log for here?

 

Really good hugs?

-  Cuddle pips that decide to ask for a hug on top of a dupe that is already in the process of attacking another critter will cause the dupe to become completely stuck, unable to act until the save is reloaded (they can still cause a "mess," but are otherwise frozen in place).

To be crystal clear here: the dupe must already be attacking something else, not walking to it.

Always room for more Blastshot

- Blastshot being moved via autosweeper into an active conveyor loader can ignore and exceed the conveyor loader's limit. (Haven't seen if there is an actual overfill limit, but I presume it's reading the 5 units being produced as only 1 and somehow interfering with the math)

Drywall-wall

- If you build a solid tile on top of a piece of drywall that has a ladder (replacing the ladder), the drywall will remain and will not force players to remove the drywall to build said solid tile

How is this a problem? You can still deconstruct the drywall if you don't like that. I like being able to hide tempshift plates behind tiles and I also like to have drywall behind mesh, airflow and window tiles when I build a base in the space biome.

It's not, but just in case it was unintended, maybe they'd like to know about it. It is a QoL patch coming up after all, and there's a few ways this could go. Similarly, the drinking water animation bug being addressed alongside this new QoL patch wasn't a game-breaker either, but it was clearly not intended.

Drinking animation was purely a visual bug. Although unintended, drywall behind tiles has real gameplay implications such as allowing heat transfer directly across insulated tiles

Jesus, Quyzbuk just reported something that is clearly a bug, its not a crime. He/She didnt say it was a problem, just reported a bug.

I simply asked a question and expressed my opinion. We're just having a normal conversation.

It's a 'one element per tile' kind of thing, where some people report it as a bug, locking tons of liquid from a geyser in a single tile, and others use it as a feature for their builds, like the magma pump.

I'd rather like to have it resolved by adding an "entombed" notification for drywall/tempshift plate covered by a solid tile, so that inexperienced players are aware they might have some unwanted heat transfer, instead of forcing players to remove them.

But in that case it should be possible to do it without the ladder workaround, theres no reason for the ladder to be involved.
