Oh hey, finally a nosh bean buff!

New DLC material: antigravity dirt. Seriously though, the "going back to normal on load" thing happens with visco-gel and possibly some other materials as well. Sometimes mopping up visco-gel causes it to outright vanish until colony reload, where you can then see the purple bottle dropping from the air from where it once vanished.

Wao. Time to build colonies again.

This would also be more compatible with future modded traits than the current system is. Random rolls actually punish the player for having a larger pool of traits and make trying to play with some combination of modded traits close to impossible.

Double checked and for some reason only the ones to the right of the printing pod get fertilized, while the ones to the left are completely ignored. Wouldn't be surprised if some crop tending bug has already been reported

Crop tending is still broken so still kinda unplayable.

Logs spawn at body temperature now.

Not sure if they've been tweaking the map generation but I hope they keep experimenting! Wacky map layouts are very good for the game IMO.

My money is on the bad dupe AI. It's immediately noticeable when you start farming anything and becomes exponentially worse as you expand. No one is going to think that it's sane for dupes to run across the map, build a segment of ladder, run back, fertilize a farm or two, and then try to continue building the ladder only to be pulled back by another farm errand. This happens with enable proximity as well.

The light requirement change adds a lot of baggage to ranching because there's no grooming station filter to avoid grooming shine bugs so working light is the only solution. Current balance for wheezeworts and wild planting gives you an incentive to preserve more of the cold biome which in turn is rewarding. IMO it's a good combination of mechanics that encourage you to build around stuff rather than demolish everything for a utilitarian nightmare. This is also in contrast to the horrible design of non-deconstructible POIs. It's also plenty clear that they want to move away from completely passive heat deletion so worts still being in the game is something and it doesn't restrict design space for new cooling content.

Haven't been able to find this information but it looks like rust deoxidizer outputs at minimum 70C.

If we nerf cooling all around but keep the heating part progression will be slower. If progression is slower then fewer people will reach late game. Which means fewer bad reviews due to late game lag. Ok guys we officially solved late game lag! *laughs in jet suits*

They just confirmed on stream that the new minimum temperature output is designed to be a problem so let me get this straight. Instead of tweaking power requirement, building heat output, etc, they instead decided that difficulty should come from punishing players for using colder than minimum inputs. In the grand scheme of things the difficulty increase from this is marginal at best, but IMO it's a really lazy method of increasing difficulty. Again, why does the difficulty increase need to come from the input material's temperature rather than aspects such as building requirements, planning, or map generation? What's actually the logic behind this decision?
