Ambaire Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Too often, I see my supply dupes delivering 20kg of water to a super computer or 5kg of dirt to a research computer when they can carry 500-1000kg or more. I'd like to set the minimum carry weight to at least 200kg, if not more once I get some gofers and couriers trained up, so that they more efficiently use their time. If it's possible, I'd also like the dupes to look around the area and try to carry more back from a long trip. If there are 100kg of sleet wheat grain in an area, or 5 wheezewort seeds, etc, I'd like one dupe to gather all of them and carry them back all at once, without having to micromanage it. I've also noticed a dupe picking up 1200kg of something from a compactor just to deliver 100kg to an adjacent machine and put the remaining 1100kg back in the compactor...

Dirmagnos Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 20 kg is nothing, they often collect and carry in milligrams. It amazing to see 10 dupes, each carrying like 500 milligrams of ice... that melts while they carry it and you end up with no ice, water where you dont need it and 10 dupes wasting their time and stress. I wouldnt mind them carrying less than they can, of its warranted, but ffs it would be grand if there was some adjustable limit and dupes would sweep area, not just grab small bit and off he goes.

Kabrute Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I've noticed them sweeping areas more and more recently. The dupes are getting smarter.

It is unfortunate that Klein decided to call the npcs 'dupes'.. people seem to forget that 'dupe' is short for Duplicant. I prefer the duplicants to be as intelligent as possible. Still waiting for that ingame scripting language so I can customize every facet of their behavior. e. Also, I want to access the hidden machine settings. Set an advanced science building to only request a water delivery when it drops below half and for as much to be delivered as possible. Set the regular science building for the same for dirt. Set the masher to only get deliveries with a buffer of 1, etc. When the wash station gets low, request only as much as is necessary to fill it and no more. The dupes have a bad habit of delivering 900g more than is necessary, the bottle sits there, then a dirty dupe picks it up and delivers it to the liceloaf masher, contaminating the entire batch...

Dupes are not particularly smart, and lobotomy is invasive procedure that may have severe negative impact on person personality and mental acuity. Its supposed to be funny, as you combine 2 negatives and get positive from it, rather absurd notion considering context. Its an ironic statement. 5 hours ago, Ambaire said: Also, I want to access the hidden machine settings. Ohh yes, pls, to all of it.
