landromat Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 So we still have no raw metal source. WHY? We have metal hatches, Metal volcanoes, Metal refinery and now metal meteors. Give us source of raw metal or let us build everything from refined metal already Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/91476-iron-meteors-are-made-of-refined-iron/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I would have thought comets etc would fall into these categories; Metal/Alloy - Comets which contain mostly metals Rocky - The current Regolith? i think that's the harder one Brittle - Sandy or sedimentary Ice - Sure in our atmosphere these would break up, but its a vacuum up there, so if they hit they should just remain blocks of ice Geode - Contains a random inside (Magma, Crystal, Empty) Those make the most sense IMO. Cuz there are metal rich comets, some are just oversized rocks, Ice is a thing up there.

And things that require refined metal, only allow refined metal as they do now.

Yoma_Nosme Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I think meteors shouldn't be refined metal or that the building system gets changed. Metal ore for example is a rock with little metal in it. No way irl to build with it... My hope for ONI future is that devs will make things made from raw materials need maintenance or suffer breakdown and refined material buildings have higher temp range so players will have a strong incentive to update their systems. This way raw metals will become obsolete for building.

Moggles Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I have to agree. Similar was posted the other day about how metal volcanoes should produce ores. The freebie materials might be nice but they undermine the production chain mechanics in the game.

Man in the Mist Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Nah, reversing the Smooth Hatches (refined to ore) should be good enough since they're 75% efficient.

Iron only becomes un-refined in contact with oxygen, which isn't included.
