Make simple stats editable please

[JohnvanTuyn]

I'd like to suggest that simple item stats be made editable by the user (editing text / json files would be fine).

Which stats do I mean: energy production / consumption would be a great start, other stats such as ore/algae consumption rates would be nice too.

 

My reasoning: It would make the game so much more enjoyable if I could build crazy airco / air lock systems especially with the diseases now. Currently power use by the gas/water pumps and filters is so high that only minimal use of these systems is viable, sadly.

 

More in general the current values / settings while challenging, result in me having to always build the same kind of base relying mostly on critters and environment to keep the base going. This was fun figuring it out once ... but I'd like to have the freedom to try different setups.

 

Of course getting the power production / consumption values to levels that are both fun and challenging will take a fair bit of trial and error, which is why I suggest you let the beta community figure it out for you by making these values editable.

 

I think this game has huge potential, keep up the good work!

In the mean time you can go into debug mode, fill a room with 100000kg of Hydrogen and have as many pumps feeding hydrogen gens, but just enough to offset the energy you would need to build your crazy designs, I do that when I want to test things, 1 pump will easily feed 2 gens, which is 1600W. But this is only a small reprieve unfortunately

I mean I use 2 coal machines to run 3 air coolers 3 gas pumps 7 air oxdiers I mean just use a bunch of heavy watt wire a lot of batteries coal power gens at 9 and a storage unit just for coal right next to it , you should have seperate power systems thoughout your colony for different things anyway
