Auto miner 1 is the only miner that affected by the "crystal collection" research. I think that's intentional but not completely sure on that...

(1 edit)

Is there a map of the underground cave? because I have no idea where I'm going

(+1)

No map, but the only places you need to go are top right and bottom left.

underground cave?

How do I use the teleporters? 

(+1)

You need both a teleporter and a teleporter hub built and powered, once you do right clicking the teleporter opens the menu to teleport.

(+1)

thank you

bug report, when falling into the cave as the previous game's MC at max size the game crashes with this message

nvm happened with the new girl too, might be because I'm using an old save . . . .

i have a bug where i cannot access any sort of menu with the interact button, talking with other characters? i can do that, it's just the rescearch table, the upgrade, and the auto miner menus aren't popping up.

(+2)

Building menus are opened by right clicking the buildings in this one.

(+1)

can we get difficulty settings which lets us make the slimes more or less aggressive, including making the stronger slimes (like those annoying airdrop ones) spawn sooner, later, or not at all?

(+1)

Difficulty options will eventually be added, but probably not with that level of customization.

(+1)

any plans on more areas other than the cave? what about a mountain area for going up?

(+5)

Most likely no. I want to start polishing up what's already there and figuring out the end of the game, so no more major areas/gameplay changes outside of that.

(+1)(-1)

Will it come to mobile?

(+4)(-1)

No.

(+1)(-1)

lol

(+3)

Could I request a power rework or perhaps a change to hab walls that connect everything in them and above them to a power grid.

(+4)(-1)

Request denied.

(+1)(-1)

Fair enough.

(1 edit)

with all due respect it's too cumbersome to have to put a generator or one of those power siphon things next to everything that needs to be powered (especially a miner that can't have a solar panel next to it), so a proper power transfer system with power lines and power banks would be much appreciated

(+1)

Understandable that it's a little frustrating, but that would require a rework of one of the biggest core mechanics of the game that a lot of stuff it balanced around.

(1 edit)

is a power bank to store energy still manageable? that way we can leave a reactor or two running for a bit without wasting the energy because it's not powering a miner or flowing into us, as well as give miners powered by a reactor a bit of a buffer before they stop working when their reactor dies


That one also isn't going to happen, but more so because it would be a pain to program with how I have the power system set up right now (e.g. poorly), especially for what amounts to a minor buff for one building. Plus the whole "living battery" conceit gets a lot weaker when you can just plonk down regular batteries.

(+1)

Could you maybe have Sen inform the player what the strengths of each character are when you ask about teammates? I can tell the guy's better at mining and the heroine from the last game has higher base energy, but what about the third?

(+2)

They build/repair stuff faster, but an explanation of that would be helpful.

That would be nice, yeah ^^ It might also help if you gave them (nb?) a different-colored drone like you did with Dax.

Will there be a "rebirth" system like in the first game?

(+3)

No, there's too much stuff that relies on being in a certain size range and clicking on stuff would be very annoying with the camera zoomed out, so no prestiging to get bigger this time around.

(+1)

It is more likely we'll have our characters going deeper into the caverns. That, or rebuilding the space ship to be a base of operations where characters can interact or change outfits, even having small conversations too, but we will have to wait until Chubberdy has a clearer vision on how to proceed... 

As well as suffer trying to make the saves compatible with each update. 

Best of luck to you!

Just beat the caves. that was tough, not gonna lie. Glad I did it though. In the full release, what will happen afterward? Will we unlock more upgrades or even a new area? I'm excited to find out.

(+5)

Probably no new areas, right now the game is already pretty finicky with the transitions as it is and I don't want to introduce more issues without re-coding a bunch of stuff. I do have some ideas for upgrades though, and reworking the display for those to allow for new ones wouldn't be as intensive.

Sounds good! I’m excited to see where this goes.

(1 edit)

Didn't know what you meant, but then I found them myself. Tricky!!

how were you able to beat it?

Yeah... Update didn't fix the cave crash...

Keep getting

Is this from a save file from a previous version or is it a fresh save? I think I might know what the issue is but it depends on the oldest version the game was saved in.

I keep getting an error when I try to enter the cave on the left of the surface, and have not noticed any shaking.  Here's  the error

I'm honestly thinking to myself: What if the metal floor broke after the cave floor did? Honestly, as hilarious as it might be to have the floor cave in further, of course, the balancing for now, and the ideas for what should proceed after what comes after escaping the cave should be thought through.

(+1)

there is a lot of problems with the slimes in the second area i got softlocked so badly from one slime nest that was out of reach that i didnt know about that decided to rain and army of slimes and ruin the entire structure i built and flooded the lowest level with slimes as more slimes keep spawning making it impossible to get anywhere or build an elevator out

(+1)

Just finished the entire game and it's really fun! Only bug I encountered was that entering the second area as the green lady crashed my game, but I didn't lost too much progress. 

(+3)

Found a bug again: You can softlock yourself until the slimes come destroy yourself in the second area if you build a fusion generator with an elevator that goes up to a third level. (In short, if you build an elevator in a crevice and the fusion generator runs out of crystals to power it, it freezes the elevator, preventing you from destroying it, and trapping you.)

You can also stuck when building the elevator and it's not powered.

Okay, I might be dumb, but I just need to ask this: How do you get to the second area (the newer one)? I've spent a bit trying to find out how, while maxing out all upgrades and stuff, and the teleporter hub still asks me to wait for everyone (For what I assume is the end of the game), but beside the quaking event that was new on my playthrough, I haven't found out how to get to the next area. At least a hint would be nice, as I've spent quite a bit of time on this game (I will say it's still fun though, I just am confused out of my mind.)

The quaking event is pretty much the only hint, that floor can only hold so much weight. (make everyone fatter and put them in the cave)

Okay, Thank you so much! (I would've been stuck on this for weeks o-o)

--I like that the first time in the New Zone Gives incentive to use the Character with the Red Mining Drone, as he's the best one at gathering resources without automation. Though it's easy to quickly get overwhelmed in the New Zone if a player doesn't go in thinking they're on a timer to get to high ground before the slimes begin invading.

One bug I noticed while playing via proton experimental: If you're at a certain weight, cargo elevators that have walls on them will teleport you straight to the top. and you won't fall back down. I noticed starting at the third to last weight range on the orange lizard.

It's also incredibly easy to accidentally cheese the caves - if you build a structure on the first ledge to the left, the tiny reddish-pink slimes will get stuck in that corner and continue spawning in large enough numbers to completely fill the enemy cap, allowing you to go through the rest of the caverns in peace.

In terms of balance - those tiny slimes don't have much health, but they spawn in such large numbers that it can be borderline impossible to make any progress in getting past them, since actually killing them requires getting to the large slime spawning them and said large slime can often be out of reach.

Okay, finished the cave diving and I have to say, that was fun! So far I'm finding the interactions with the characters to be funny and cute. Nonetheless, I'll go over some things I've encountered.

The wave system can be easily abused depending on how you go about things. if you focus your build away from the slimes, they can't find the buildings to attack. The pink slimes are a nice addition and prevent the abuse of using the platform in the middle to create an accumulator elevator or something of the sort. While small in the grand scheme of things, I like this new breaking the mold of what we're used to. I can't wait to see what comes forth from the caves as the verticality can be used to create fun obstacles.  

In version 0.7.1 discription of some buildings does not match their menu when they are build (e.g. laser turret mk III; in construction menu it says it consumes 30 energy but in building menu it says minimum 5, optimal 10)

So one thing I am confused on with the teleporter and the teleporter hub: When I build them, my teleporter says there is no hub, even though I have built one. So, when I go to interact with the hub, the character I'm using says that, and I quote, "I should probably help the others down before I leave." I've even tried it with power and on ground level, and yet It still won't work. Is this a bug, or am I simply doing something wrong on my part?

That's a bug, I'm working on having that fixed up for the next part.

Okay, so it isn't just me, good to know :D

(+1)

I would say the addition of pink slimes and all the slime variants are surprising. I have not seen what all of them do but the addition of the pink slimes makes my head spin. They throw out almost everything we know from the original game. Already I'm seeing a strategy here: Going right to pin down the first set of slimes, then going left to pin down the other set later when resources have been accumulated. 

The only overarching issue is the lack of hanging bridges to connect to the left side slimes. Rather than having to go through the tedious process of building hab walls to make a bridge that hopefully doesn't get broken all thanks to the overhang leaving a gap near the entrance for balancing purposes.

Again, however, we just have been introduced to Area 2 which I have not really gotten into yet. So I'm going to make a fresh save to redevelop a strategy for this that works. Either that or just try to continue my current save. 

As for difficulties here's how I've thought of it: the current difficulty can be seen as the veteran/ hard difficulty as it should be challenging but also fun for players who have feel underwhelmed by hard in the original. As much of a masochist as I am I can tell that this game needs some difficulty adjustments that will come at some point. The addition of the flying slimes can feel kind of overwhelming to new players. Even as a returning player I already see that these pink slimes are going to be the bane of my existence; Somehow, these things make white slimes look passive. I mean that with what few instances of pink slimes I have encountered. These things already require you to have more lasers than you can produce consistently by the time they appear. I was on mark two lasers when I was first attacked by these things. 

White slimes makes more sense for the first layer as it is highly unlikely you'll be directly going towards the slime spawners. It's usually better to actively ignore the slime spawners and save it for end game, or in this case prior to area 2. 

Pink slimes fit perfectly into the vertical nature of area 2.  Rather than having several slimes at once bombard you, these droppers would require more precise methods.  It would make more sense to have these as sentries with a unique spawner to give the slimes more pushback to force you to check on the spawners rather than just putting up an energy barrier, a laser and calling it a day.

I'll give more feedback when I have more time to play with a clear head. It's like 12 am for me.

(+1)

I'm just saying this again after 7 months, but will there be a difficulty update? The slimes can get overwhelming a lot of the time, also some want an even harder challenge than this! But there would still be normal, and peaceful too for those who want the story not the fight.

(+2)

I will eventually be adding difficulties back in once I get enemy balance nailed down a bit more. Just to speed that along a bit, do you remember about how long you played before you got the the point where you were overwhelmed and what kind of defenses you had set up?

thx for replying! it was around wave 9-11 but i'm kind of a beginner, I hope this helps!

(+1)

So I think I found a game breaking bug: if you pause the game as slimes are mid jump just at the right time, they kinda.....continue to move, thus making the slimes fall through the map. I'm sure it's unintended, cause last time I checked, Slimes falling through the floor shouldn't be the meta. Also I feel like late game, there shouldn't be almost what felt like 200 or so green slimes coming for your base (cause atm, I have a save where it's pretty difficult to defend against them without having to make some changes to the base, which all ends up to all my stuff being destroyed). I do understand that this game is about the grind to make sure that your base is resistant to them, but when they cluster in those absurd numbers, it becomes nigh impossible to defend against. What I feel like could happen is that the slimes can go past the walls and platforms, as usually you can't put defenses on them without a huge risk of slimes destroying them, and thus the entire base at the process. But that's just my opinion (and sorry if I'm sounding tangent-y or rude and whatnot.

I have the same issue during the second phase, the game basically allow you to only build on a tiny spot near the beginning, and then not only spawn an insane amount of enemy , but they will fall on you rahter than coming in front of you... and the game give you a total amount of 0 solution to defend against enemy from above.

Trying to collect my crystals before the slimes destroyed the miner caused a crash. Unsurprising, but still very annoying considering how much those slimes like to swarm in later stages.

Dealing with the slimes feels incredibly frustrating, one small mistake kind of wipes you completely unfortunately.

(+1)

Will we be able to customize the sprites like in the first Spacethumper?

(+1)

Eventually, yes.

(+1)

so i start the game and i can't build at the tutorial part

what do i do? 

(-1)

What's the first instruction Sen gives you?

disassembling the wreckage of the escape pod to build a source of power

(+1)

Excellent, just had to make sure there wasn't a bug with the textboxes. You can also get small amounts of resources by manually mining with the laser, which is something I have plans to make clearer for the tutorial.

-_- how do i turn off the escape pod cuz I still stuck at the tutorial part and still can't build. I right click on the escape pod and there no Option to turn it off.

(+1)

You have to go into the build menu , click destroy, then click on the escape pod.

While I am okay with the grind and stuff, the one gripe I have is that the small grey slimes do way too much damage (so much so I had to purposefully not get certain blueprints just to prevent them from spawning in so much) and I feel like they should be nerfed. Whenever they swarm, I usually am forced to watch as sometimes hours of my work gets deleted instantly. I'm okay with the orange slimes doing a fourth damage to the fortified walls (as I said, couldn't use other walls lest I spawn the grey slimes in more frequent waves), but for how quick they are, they really should be toned down at the very least. Still enjoying it, however.

(+1)

I had to check back through the code to make sure I wasn't misremembering, but there are no gray slimes in this game, only spacethumper 1. The good news though is that in both games the enemies just get harder over time, nothing is gated behind certain upgrades, so feel free to research the better defensive buildings to deal with them!

(+1)

Well, with that knowledge (and being able to build the energy shield's whenever the little slimes that deal like a quarter of the health of the fortified walls), I finally was able to get past the block. That and I just moved my base away from the cave. Still excited to see what else is in store for this game (as I do enjoy this game :D)

(-1)

Can you add the difficulties back, i want to play but the slimes absolutely obliterate everything and its frustrating, i've spent hours building everything only for it to be completely destroyed despite putting turrets

(+1)

I will eventually be adding them back in once I get enemy balance nailed down a bit more. Just to speed that along a bit, do you remember about how long you played before you got the the point where you were overwhelmed and what kind of defenses you had set up?

(+2)

Just curious but would you say that this game is done/complete?

(+2)

Nope, not even close.

how i use the research table?

(+1)

Right click on it when supplying it with enough energy to open it, and it's all clicking from there.

Thanks!!!!

I can't make anything work, I build the stuff, it takes my resources, but it doesn't work, am I dense?

(+1)

Could be one of two things. If stuff is still a blue hologram you need to hold up while next to it to pump energy into it and properly build it. If you've already done that then there's not enough/not strong enough generators touching a consuming building or you're siphoning away too much energy from the generators by touching them.

(+1)

Thanks bro :)

(+1)(-1)

Idk if it's just with me but I can't build anything :^

(+2)

Do you have the required metal? You might have to manually mine some with your drone first.

(+5)

Hello I am wondering If In The 3.0 Update, There is going to be More Upgrades Like More Elasticity Upgrades Or More Ways To Defend Yourself From Slimes, etc

(+6)(-1)

The next update is mostly going to be centered around the slimes themselves, new varieties, better sprites to tell them apart, and a proper controller to determine which ones spawn during which waves.

(+1)

Hello, I am interested in the fact whether there is an ending in the game and how to get it, it's just that I have already discovered all the technologies, but I can't figure out how to complete the passage

(+3)

Currently there isn't an ending to the game. Once that's been implemented I will be making it clear how to get it though.
