  • Errand Priorities screen
    • Added more controls for job prioritization
    • Renamed errand priority "Urgency" to distinguish from individual Duplicant priorities
    • Added optional auto-prioritization for job-related errands
  • New geyser types
    • More geysers in each new world
    • Variable outputs and dormancy cycles

All of this sounds fantastic.  I can't wait to see what they entail.  I am a little disappointed to see no change to the steam turbine, but I'll obviously reserve judgment until I've seen what the new geysers do.

So far I haven't found any "new" geysers -- all geysers have new graphics, and appear to be nerfed (variable output & dormancy cycles), although appears to be 4 geysers instead of 3

There's several new ones. They're hidden though.

Steam geyser divides into hot and cold steam geyser, you can find hot one in oil layer.

And there are several kinds of new geyser, most of them(if not all) are also in oil layer.

They may appear in every where, and just need to be digged.

I've found 11 types of geysers so far.

Have you found melt metal geyser?(Gold Volcano,Iron Volcano,Copper Volcano) I found them in game string file, but I can't found them in my map.

I found a small volcano, it emits magma which means magma is no longer finite for steam turbines!20180308153332_1.thumb.jpg.ba56a773af7eb7572c266bfca9e636c9.jpg

Spoiler

I can confirm gold volcano found.

I've found the big volcano, and I also found a hot steam geyser in oil layer. But hot steam geyser only emits fairly little hot steam(500C, tens g/s)

Yeah. Well, iron still eludes me but only looked at 3 maps so far. Maps are very random now.

I've found two big volcanoes... in one ice biome. The spawn location seems random. They're not contained to the bottom of the map.

Some information which can only be found in game code, I will spend few minutes to analyse them.

Very cool.  However it takes me many hours to get to a late game balance so I guess I'll continue with what I have and work on some strategies based around the new stuff. Mostly interested in the upper range of temperature output of these new geysers.

That's something I'm worried about.  If there are indeed 11 types of geysers now and if we're not guaranteed to get one of each per map that would make for some frustrating experiences if you spend a long time digging out a map only to realize it's not sustainable.

Scratch the 11. The list is up to 18 different types now.

For example there's hot and cold steam fumaroles but also hot water geyser. Then there's polluted water geyser.

There's also hot and cold CO2 geysers. And hot and cold H2 ones too.

another way to look at it is to not build your base on what you hope to find but what you already have found.

This will add a lot more diversity to how players make a functioning base

Or you could rerole maps until you get all the geysers then check in debug to see if the seed is suitable to have a proper play through.

pre checking the map in debug mode kinda feels like you're robbing yourself of the exploration experience

@Neotuck I would rather throw out exploring than realize my base has no water source on cycle 400 but we will se in time what moves are necessary.

cold steam and natural gas geysers are still exposed in each map, (2 each) you will always have water

That’s good but I still might rerole because I don’t want to miss any new features.
