Brackwax for Bionic Dupes?

[axxel]

Hello. Crude oil is intended as the end-game lubricant for the new dupes. Couldn't brackwax do the same job as lubricant because it's almost like real-world paraffin wax (with different melting and freezing point).

This would be good, more interconnectedness for of different materials

That's correct. My different concern was there could be a small hassle on Badland asteroid which usually starts without slime. I know one would take a different stat for this but I was wondering if Klei considered equality for all (base game) asteroids and brackwax could be a good choice if the player got a bad seed. I didn't know much about SO planetoids or Ceres, maybe other users could say something about this.

I can understand this, theirs no other use for brackwax besides transit tubes and plastium and its kinda worst now because remote controller is a new solution to long commute task/issues. So Brackwax being another form of Lube for the Bio dupes gears might be a good idea.

However, with that said the Gear Balms are for that purpose, use them until you either got access to slime or oil. However with these bionic dupes having the slime molds world trait might not be bad in this regard especially on Ceres(where the slimelung dies cause of Ceres Temps)

It would make me very happy
