Finally, a use for excess seeds.  Thanks.

Agreed!

Egg shells are no longer automatically delivered to compost.

have to create a new game?

could also make the sage hatch eating seeds "Slime,clay" and defecating algae? "Food pacu sustainable"

Any specific reason behind this decision? I thought it was working relatively well...

I love you guys so much

Are we going to get glum critter animations???

And old critter models?

I'm assuming it means hydrogen won't always go left and carbon dioxide won't always go right.

Gas can move up, down, left, right. So reduced horizontal gas bias is less chance of it choosing to move left or right from it's current position.

 

Maybe gas could get stuck and hydrogen didn't float to the top and CO2 to the bottom?

[DMFan79]

Frankly it's always been a little gripe for me. In my head gases should just occupy an even line depending on their weight.

We all know that in reality it's not that simple, but imho, game-wise, the previous positioning didn't make much sense.

I hope that we get more explanation on this, it has the potential to affect a lot of builds that work based on gas weights and propensity to go a certain direction.

This is what it means:

Means gasses will now settle Horizontal instead of on an angle. Which is a huge change for such a tiny footnote in some mid-week patch notes.

[BlueLance]

Well, if they settle like that I wont complain

new sensor?

No, its most likely a red sign

[Lilalaunekuh]

Just tested the new gas bias and that´s my thoughts:

- more realistic feeling ( gameplay wise it´s a good that there is a bias, but the huge angle was counterintuitive)

- my base (44 high / 56 width) had 8-10 tiles high CO2 on the right side and none in the lower left corner;

 now it´s 3-5 tile high left to right lower corner (nice gradient for 56 tiles width)

- makes farming dreckos so much easier

- a bit harder to maintain a close to 100% pure oxygen atmosphere inside a closed base

 

=> I really love that little change

Ohmigawd. This. Is. AWESOME.

[Miravlix]

What about polluted oxygen, it used to settle in bands inside the oxygen, made it an interesting challenge.

 

The worst problem is going to be CO2, being able to put cleaning in the lower right allowed you to have a CO2 clean core base where dupes was breathing.

I thought Tiny Baby versions should have different masses, cant figured out the difference here

 

And i was able to select things loaded on a Conveyor Rail, can't even mouse over now.
