Space materials - limited samples


Recommended Posts

A lot of the players won`t ever get to use the super materials from space since it takes insanely long to get there and it isn`t easy. Those players won`t experience the amazing properties of said materials. This is why i think there should be a pretty small amount of the deep space stuff available to be found on your asteroid.

What do i mean by small. Not enough super insulation to protect your entire base but enough to seal off a single volcano.
Not enough super coolant to build a large LOX machine but enough to use it for a single metal refinery (i hope that doesn`t contradict each other).

But where would we find it? Maybe put it in the PoIs. Some of them have simple puzzles (that can be deconstructed but whatever) but the payoff is just a neural vascilizator and sometimes even not that. How about we put there a bit of space materials that you can later use to forge the super materials with the new building. Just a little bit to give players the taste of the future. This way them might be more interested in going to space to get larger amounts of it.

Yes please.

This would be a huge teaser for most players who don't browse the forums and know what is available in space. The vast majority of players who burn out before cycle 100 never realize what's available, and finding a POI that has a liquid reservoir with some supercoolant, or a compactor with superinsulator could be an awesome discovery.

Most players wouldn't know what to do with something like supercoolant/insulator, but adding a description of what the material does, or even a POI datafile for the log that describes a "Gravitas Facility Liquid Oxygen Supercoolant" would be enough to inspire players to go further.
