Various Quality of Life Improvements to Consider

[darkflames9]

This is a list of my gripes with the game, that I feel everyone shares.

 

1.  Stop prioritizing valuable material as the building material of choice.  Why would I want to use my 1000 kg of obsidian when I have 10000kg of sandstone?

2.  The oxygen clentaminator needs touching up.  First of all, it poops out clay CONSTANTLY.  Like 10 times a second with 10gs each.  I think it should output a bulk 10kg of clay once it uses up all the filtration medium.  Secondly, it is terribly inefficient, compared to every other building in the game.  Why does it use up 1kg of sand to purify 100gs of contaminated o2 to just 50gs of clean o2 per second?  Also, mass is not conserved here.  1kg of sand turns into only half a kg of clay.  Where'd the other half go?  If anything, more clay should be generated since the polutants of the air would be absorbed by the sand.  Please buff the deoderizer to use less sand per second, and output the clay all at once at longer intervals.  You can even keep the bad ratio of 2 parts dirty o2 to 1 part clean o2; I think the sand and clay are more important.

 

3.  Allow us to herd the creatures more effectively please.  Maybe at a bug net or something so we can catch them.

 

4.  Rebalance power.  Right now, manual generators are the best, hands down.  We cannot create enough hydrogen to sustain hydrogen generators, and coal burners are just too hot (and coal is pretty much a non renewable resource unless you can effectively trap some hatches).  This takes up a lot of dupe power as they constantly have to run on hamster wheels.  This is even more apparent now that wires have a max load because now we need to have multiple battery packs around the base, each connected to separate hamster wheels.

 

5.  I know this is probably a well known issue you guys are working hard at, but this is just a friendly reminder to touch up on heat transfer.

 

That's all I can think about off the top of my head for right now, but I may add more later.  Now, of course, I'm not trashing on your game.  I think it's rather obvious that this game has immense potential and will undoubtedly be a smashing success.  Heck, I haven't been this excited for a game since I discovered Don't Starve all those years ago!  Which is why I really want this to be done right.  I have high expectations of you because I know you can meet them.  Keep up the amazing work guys!
