TheRealKillface Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hmm, imagine you want to dig deep down for a few dozen tiles. What about an operated drill which drills out one tile, and afterwards letting down a rope (ladder) for building a real ladder? It would speed up a lot of exploration.

Mhh from my point of view, map is small enough, no reason to speed things up..

BlueLance Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I agree with Oozinator, its even smaller if you have idled dupes as they can dig in any direction fairly rapidly.

Oozinator Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 When this "tunnel shaft drill machine" had some other functions too.. Perhaps it constructs a tunnel 5 tiles width and it could install special "hidden" pipes/thick wires shafts (no negative decor more then standard pipes output x 10) left / right side as background building.

TheRealKillface Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Do you believe the map size will always stay 256x384 tiles? ONI is most likely not optimized yet to handle bigger sizes on mid-range to low-end machines, just a matter of time. It's a pain digging a straight line down, and it takes forever for my dupes to run to the spot, delivery material for 2 tiles, build 2 tiles, repeat. An additional shaft would also be nice, but I still suggest some kind of "machine" which speeds up vertical digging.

Kazumiya Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Before adding this kind of stuff, I hope indeed they will create a bigger map size with at least 1 or 2 extra biome (sand/desert biome could be one...)
