New duplicant audio is very annoying


Recommended Posts

I would like to manage my duplicants at a certain amount. So at some point i wont need a duplicant.

But the portal keeps playings the  'new duplicant  audio' and it drives me nuts!
I need to reject them all asap to get rid of that audio.
If you just cancel the new duplicant (by hittign X) available window they will still will be available (which i like) but then the audio keeps playing too.

My suggestion: Remove the audio once players viewed new duplicants available

I was thinking perhaps rather than dedicated music, if the sounds were audibly conversant, it would play it's own music for the game. I.e the machinery does the percussion, the pipes the bass, the snoozing dupes.... you get the idea?

Hey @newcomix, thanks for the feedback!

I definitely agree that leaving a dupe "cooking" isn't a really joyful experience, so on the update I've already made some changes to make this less annoying. I'm going to put a bit more work into this to make sure the printer is never annoying, so thanks for your ideas! After the update comes out, please let me know if that experience is still un-fun.

And please tune down pipe/vent overlay noise while at it.

Done, as well :) thanks!

Yay! Thanks.

Update available when?

The new duplicant audio just really made me feel like I was playing the game wrong. Everyone suggest 6 dupes to have a sane game, but this portal bugs me so much. 
It seems louder when you reload a game, then when youve been playing your same game from start, but that might be just me.
