Can I Terraform a Planet in Foundry in 100 Days?

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Check out Foundry here: foundry.paradoxinteractive.com/AmbiguousAmphibian (Sponsored by Paradox) Let me know if you want to see more - I feel like I barely scratched the surface of this one considering all the late-game technologies. More full VOD will be up on the VOD channel a little later on. Also can I just say that if combat is ever added to this game I will play all 100 days again faster than you can run away

[@teneksi7803]

I usually prefer describing games with more nuance than "like this game plus this other game" but this 3D voxel grid which invariably evokes minecraft is like the exact midpoint between factorio and satisfactory I see the map and the grid-based conveyor belts and think Factorio. I see multiple levels from a distance and it looks like Satisfactory. you dig through the ground to reach a resource because it's somehow also Minecraft it feels almost exactly like 33% of all three of those games

Listen, there's terraforming and science packs! So it's different! /s Honestly, the game was in development from around the same time as satisfactory, which makes sense. It is more akin to Factorio it seems than Satisfactory, except it's 3D which is cool. I'm not gonna buy into it though lol

[@Scott_Stone]

I've almost reached the point you left the game at (I need to expand my drone production). This game feels easier than Factorio and Satisfactory because the devs gave us a number of quality-of-life improvements. Like you could've used a cargo elevator instead of those belts to lift the ore. You could also use a regular elevator to dig for you (and you also get a working elevator in the end!). After you unlock the cargo ships even the long-range transportation becomes easy. The game has a lot of useful automation under the hood and this is the first automation game where I managed to go this far. The only thing that is missing is making your own humanoid-looking robots that would build stuff. The easy way to do this is to add blueprint functionality akin to Satisfactory, but make it so the buildings wouldn't appear instantaneously and instead you'd get to watch another robot doing work for you. The hard way is of course to have robots intelligently build parts of your base using a number of standard designs (something like "create a plates production line using the ore from that iron node"). It's arguably a worse option, but it would still be a cool thing to watch.

[@ebinmemes2298]

lmao they really took the "copy my homework but change it a little bit" approach with the research tree there. looks like factorio's exactly but in the roblox style

[@MrPicklesAndTea]

this is like a more specialized minecraft technic mod. Like it was designed to be less mine-crafty, but also make building in scale easier.

[@LuaanTi]

Yeah. A lot of us want to make a game with the basic systems of Minecraft mods. Minecraft is a great combination of cool mod(pack)s and horribly painful technical side of things :P

[@FlavorTown9088]

So its literally factorio, great job guys... also cant wait for the dlc of major game mechanics to cost 2x more than the base game.

[@RandomInternetStranger]

One thing that I'd like to recommend: exploiting all 3 dimensions of movement While you're limited to 2d in Factorio, which heavily limits the amount of building space that's available to you, that's not a problem here. Simply build conveyors _under_ your construction if there's no room, then build back up when needed. Rather than having a single "circuit board," you can have a rack of them. It's the same principle as a skyscraper.
