Hello! Want to present the Heliara - a

[jovial bridge]

I'm a fan of the super slow buildup idea. I'm a seablock sort of player so this sounds maybe right up my alley.

Is that carbon fed into inserters?

Does the graphite have some uses for off-world?

What does "surface unstable and dusty" mean?

I'm looking for what the core limitation driving unique gameplay is and I'm seeing some neat things, but I think there could be more. Following your theme of poor conductivity, maybe the poor solar panels have to be distributed throughout your base, and supplied by pipes. This would be a little aquilo esque. Idk if this idea I made up would be any fun however

Do you seriously not know about burner inserters?

[formal jasper]

is that a fucking burner solar panel

I didn't read the description at first, just saw the screenshot

Yes, it is slow buildup, I'm playtesting right now and very happy with a tempo) It turns me back to the very first experience of factorio: you need to learn, adopt and re-build everything till you understand how to handle things. And a lot of manual work.

Yes, it is burner inserters. And there is a technology to make fast-burner-inserters and long-handed-burner-inserters 😉

Surface unstable means that most of the time you have to build a concrete, like in Aquilo. But there is a good source of concrete on Heliara, so it is not an issue after kick-starting.

You can't have poles because of lack of copper. You have a special "wireless pole", that works only in super-close range, consumes energy itself and can't union with other poles. You also need to supply solar panels with fullerene, so energy distribution is really challenging)

YES!

Current state of play-testing)

and, finally, steam-driven rocket-silo) on this stage of game it can only run special refractors to atmosphere, that makes solar panels more effective and nights shorter)

Sounds cool
