Over the Neutronium Upgrade

Have you ever dream to go through the Neutronium and try to reach the asteroid surface?

I really think it will be possible with the next patch (dig abyssalite not to reach the surface). Here's some theories/proofs :

--Theoretical Patch Notes--

New Digging Tools

  • New job specialization : Tenured Miner (Tier 6) - Trait : Neutronium Mining.
  • New multitool for specialized Miner (Tier 6). This tool need to be crafted with a Multitool Workbench.
  • New action : Desintegrate

New receipts

  • New Station : Multitool Workbench
  • Laser Burner : allow to carve the neutronium fragments.
  • "Boring Machine" : a machine that occupies people with tasks that are only aimed at recreational.

New Biomes

  • Icy Crushed : a cold biome made of crushed ice and crushed rock.
  • Electric Rock : a magnetic biome made of Electrum and Pyrite rock. May contain some Radium, a rock that emitting radioactive substance.

New disease

  • Irratied : if a Duplicant desintegrate some Neutronium or be exposed to a radioactive substance, he can be become irratied that kill him in few cycles.

 

--Some potentials proofs--

Dig the neutronium is possible with the Debug Mode and produce some materials :

The game files already integrate that : "Multitool Workbench : uses raw or refined metal to make a multi-tool. Multi-tools can be used to mine very strong and indestructible materials without this tool."

So Klei have planned to allow Duplicants to dig the neutronium. Other proof, take a look at this non-implanted object in the Sandbox mode :

"Quarrying Gun" -> New digging gun for Neutronium.

The laser burner have a concept art in the game file :

About the boring machine, we have that string since the last patch :

About the potential new biomes :

"Sustainable for Power systems"

I suspect the next patch is going to be relatively small so they can clean up some of the leftover problems created by the two Ranching Upgrades, do some optimization, and tackle a few bugs.  Hopefully you're right, though, I'm ready for a game-changer of an upgrade.

Not only a concept art:

Is there going to be mining of Neutronium eventually?  Probably.

Is it going to be next update?  Highly unlikely.

Not only would they need to give us the ability to mine the Neutronium, they also have to add

in something to do with the material.  Right now, nothing can be built of it; it can't be refined;

it can't be melted; and you certainly don't want to pierce the outer edges of the map until that

is added to the game.  Right now, the only use for mining it would be to open up the magma pockets for use.

There's also a lot of balancing that would need to be done just in regards to the properties

of Neutronium.  Thermal conductivity and melting point being big ones. 

Not so sure on this.  How would they address the edges of the map? Make up a new un-minable material?  Seems unnecessary.  Seems more likely to me the tools will be required to mine things we already have (especially abyssalite and diamond), plus perhaps some of those non-implemented non-neutronium materials, and maybe ruins as well.
