Ore Teleporter

[tidal loom]

Pls add a teleporter

[shell smelt]

that would make things too easy

[signal sphinx]

Yeah, I know I've said something (buffer chests) don't really fit the tone of the game before, but I think this really doesn't fit the tone

[worldly hatch]

maybe a special map/gamemode with cheat items like this?

definitely would be a very future thing though

[mental merlin]

Just going off previous comments about additions like this, the owner probably won’t add things like that to the game just because it doesn’t fit the general aesthetic.

[pure fiber]

Can be an end-game object!

[worldly hatch]

Would definitely be a good mod

[mental merlin]

I just don’t see that being added like, at all

Because you can easily hack money for yourself anyway it’s basically like you’re just adding it to the game early game

[pure fiber]

Well its really about what the devs want. If they wanna add they will. If they wanna let someone make it a mod, then someone will eventually make one

[lilac hedge]

Adding a drone mod soon that drones carry ore from port to port, it’s already finished just have to upload it

[lilac hedge]

i can probably add it as a mod

[pure fiber]

Would be really cool! Make Sure to set the price really high for the end game! 😁 I suggest $500k/Teleporter

[worldly hatch]

would be cool to have a sender / reciever, and you can set each pair to a certain color to match them up

[sly crane]

Belts are great at teleporting ore

[limber marsh]

That kinda undoes the entire point of the game lol.

I think having satellite sales bins would be better - perhaps there's a few dotted around the map so you have a few options for where to route items, but they don't have the computer shop or anything.

[mental merlin]

teleporter doesn't make sense to add but the "Satellite Sales Bins" make more sense? lmfao

[limber marsh]

yeah, cuz adding another static location to sell items isn't the same as teleporting shit across the map.

[mental merlin]

Well, they would need to make the sale points actually lift stuff up to the surface

Satellites would just ruin the vibes imo

[limber marsh]

what

that's literally what i said lol

even made a suggestion for it: #1474363084704321637

[sly crane]

Having more than one sell point wouldn't make sense either. The one sell point is fine and adds a particular challenge. I'd rather see more ways to transport materials, like rails and mine carts for example

Not satellite bins or sci-fi teleportation.

I'm sick of the amount of space/sci-fi themed factory games. Mine mogul is a breath of fresh air (albeit, in a cave🫣)

[icy stirrup]

Please dont add a teleporter.

[limber marsh]

Well that's just because sci-fi is a much better theme for this genre lol

Also because factorio did it, and since everyone copies that game you might as well do the same.

Bro did a reaction without even explaining anything lol

[sly crane]

What did you want me to explain? 😆

[limber marsh]

Your reasoning for hating sci-fi factory games lol

Or at least "being sick of them"

[sly crane]

Its just been done too many times, its nice to see something different and not space themed

[limber marsh]

Fair enough, I suppose

I'm kinda biased since sci-fi is my favourite genre lol

But I have found two or three fantasy-themed automation games, which seem interesting.

[sly crane]

What ones?

[limber marsh]

I think both of these could be done, as well. I made a suggestion for minecarts #1474361558170861568 (and I'm sure there's others), but it still gets far too cramped around the main area with all the shit you've got to build there.

I can barely even access the computer shop lol.

It'd be one advantage of having multiple sales locations, with another being some optimisation since things that aren't nearby don't aren't rendered.

I personally haven't had any performance issues, though - but I'm sure others have.

[limber marsh]

MoteMancer, Alchemy Factory, and Oddsparks.

Played the demo for the first one a while ago and it was neat, but the other two don't have demos.

[sly crane]

Ive had fps drops with too much ore, thats been the biggest issue ive come across

[limber marsh]

Ha, I win because I didn't have that happen when I had that huge pile of ~1800 copper clusters lol

But yeah, physics can be taxing on the system. I think that's one reason most games avoid them.

[sly crane]

Oh, no I had like 4000+ ore😆

Ive now set my limit to 3000, and I keep getting warnings of miners slowing down, or stop for abit etc

Its better, but I'm guessing alot more optimisations are on the cards

[limber marsh]

lol nice

[limber marsh]

Probably, yeah.

It's honestly a miracle that the game runs as well as it does rn.

[sly crane]

Indeed

[limber marsh]

It's like when you find out satisfactory is made in unreal engine and go "how the fuck" lol

[sly crane]

Thats another game that ive watched a few vids on, but I just can't get excited enough to want to play it

[signal sphinx]

Pardon my punning, but would you say you prefer something more grounded?
