I've been really enjoying this game ( to the tune of 300 hours so far) but as I'm learning everything it is incredibly frustrating not knowing what a machine will do before I build it. Please include all inputs and outputs in the in-game wiki even if it's not in the tooltip.
for example. in trying to get oil refined into plastic I had to find an oil vent and build a pump and get the crude and the petroleum to each building before I understood the needed inputs and outputs. Please organize this information better so that we can plan ahead without having to go online to research how to make it work
Things I need to know:
- Gas pipe inputs, Gas pipe outputs (not just that there are some, I need to know what they do before I build the building)
- Fluid inputs, Fluid outputs
- Environmental inputs, Environmental outputs
- thermal effect (+ or -)
- and rates of each of the above
In the screenshots below you will notice in particular the Polymer Press shows that it will produce steam and C02 but not how, 2 gas outputs? 1 gas one liquid? both to environment? in order to understand and plan it is important to be more clear.
i.e. Polymer Press
- Liquid pipe input: petroleum @ ###/sec
- Gas pipe output: CO2 @ ###/sec
- Environmental output: Steam @ ###/sec
- Environmental heat: +100deg
- Power: 240W
Perhaps the descriptions should have 3 sections: Input, Output, Effect. but as it is, there isn't a clear description of flows that I should expect.
then for something simple like a Gas pump or Air pump:
- Input:
- Environmental liquid @ 100 gal/ sec
- Output:
- Liquid pipe (any) @ 100 gal/ sec
Bottle emptier:
- Input: bottled liquid (any, selectable)
- Output: Environment liquid
Play the game as a noob
