Well considering the stage of the game I've gotten as far as I could. I was going to try to see how the bombs work, but requiring hydrogen was an oversight. It makes sense and isn't a big deal, other than not being able to transport O2 or hydrogen... which was another oversight on my part. Transporting water is fine though. The only problem is that it's impossible currently with how aggressive the enemy is to take control of asteroids after they start to infest your area, they just simply reinfest right after a bomb. I was expecting to be able to designate a target or just launch them when I'm ready to clear multiple out at once, but that was another oversight that I wasn't expecting I wasn't going to be able to do. Can't wait to play after the balance patch comes. I'll go back to expanding before T3 Tech.


Splitters or Filters that only accept a designated resource type would be great additions and looking forward to the pipe rework you plan. Drones as well, would be a good T4 or T5 Tech anything that saves room. I don't know how you plan for Drones to work, it'd make sense if they were solar-powered requiring to charge after X amount of period.


I actually really just enjoying thinking about the potential of this game. So it's easy to just want to comment thoughts about it. Certain Ideas are probably outside the scope of potential, like collision between asteroids; or just orbit around the sun. I'm sure satellites are reasonably achievable. I would like to think about what kind of Lore you can cook up with this. Could the Redacted be sentient and could they just be something that slumbers, maybe within the sun until you start generating a certain amount of activity. Maybe an end game goal like a Dyson Sphere or a Stellar Engine could be a good End Game Objective. Maybe you could implement Data Logs for each new Tech Level giving tips and develop a little story.


Thanks so much for all the playtesting! I'm going to change some stuff based on everything you've mentioned, and I'll add some of your ideas to my to-do list! Some of the stuff you mentioned is actually already on my stretch list. I'll release a roadmap sometime soon!

Currently I'm working on saving & loading, sorters, and some other secrets to make the v0.2 release juicy :D

Can't wait to see what you think!

I also forgot, well I was curious so I googled, but there is carbon in our asteroid belt, the outer part. I was going to suggest use it for an earlier form of power than the reactor and have the reactor be T6, but you're already getting hydrogen at this point. Then I thought about the drones, Carbon Nanotubes is about to replace silicon in computing, and motherboards can be made of Polycarbonate material, so a Drone plant/facility/station could use Chips+Iron+CarbonMaterial. You could use these materials that would require circuitry like Satellites. I don't think a 3 would be that much of an issue if it's the step to get drones or in the manufacturing of them. Where drones would just not require a space next to the source they're collecting from.
