Just a few ideas I have for resources on the map.

  1. Make an option to set the multiplier for amount of resources in biotics/balterium resources that spawn around the map.
  2. Add a "depleted" state and slowly regenerate / Alternativly, mark a few Balterum/biotics to be "unlimited". Either that they're unlimited or that they regenerate their resources slowly. This could be in hard to defend spots etc.

I hate this (first one is actually ok)

I personally would never ever play with infinite resources but that's just me.

#

That is why I say a turn on

Or off

Unfortunately everyone who plays with that option enabled would have to deal with being objectively Inferior in every way to those who don’t (me).

Luckily it seems from the OP that it would be an optional option which you can either opt in or out off

#

It's like saying singleplayer was a terrible idea because it is technically an inferior experience if you want an multiplayer experience. Nothing wrong with having extended server options imo

No because there are other servers out there to play on. I don't exactly see the reason why giving servers extended options would hurt the game overall.

He has the option to opt in or out of an experience which he doesn't like. If he doesn't like the setup, he has the explicit free will to leave the server. I'm sure if PB has that option, there would sprawl up another server without this toggle.

I'm sure there will be a server sprawling up for you dear echo

hazy hawk
#

As there should be.

#

But reality alas often disappoints.

#

And would probably have different server setup as well.

#

There were a few "dedicated" server before the game went quiet

official servers are still planned yeah?

cold epoch
#

yea 1.0

#

1.0 servers probably would have a dedicated "offical" settings with standard setup

to be fair to echo, he has a point.

I do believe him when he says that the majority of servers would have the infinite resources turned on.

There is something to be said for the base game to have some consistency across servers. If everything becomes a toggleable option we will just clutter the match making experience and that will be too daunting for new players to sift through to learn.

Now, this isnt something that I feel very strongly about. However, if aliens can claim an infinite trickle of late game resources via hunting worms then humans should get something like a deep mining balterium drill so that they can keep pace. HOWEVER, I would give an advantage to the aliens in a late game without resource because the Aliens are native to the planet and are meant to survive there. The humans are only there for the balterium and should pack up once the entire map has been strip mined of resources.

#

.
I would even go so far as to say that in a HvA match where the Humans mine 100% of the Balterium Humans should win, since the Humans have accomplished their goal and the Aliens have failed to defend any of it.

What we basically see now it the community server so I'm not exactly sure how that will clutter the match making experience. Atm we basically rely on mods add QoL.

#

Lots of other games has a "standard" format, give people who would like to host a server the power to change the mode a little
