You can double the throughput of the paths by making them loops and putting sparks on the right sides of the inside and outside of the path, a neat logistical trick.

[@massiveminiteam]

Neat one for real! We love that idea!

[@chuipi]

Yes, more looks very interesting

[@punthebun]

This game looks like what would happen if you took Pikmin, Overlord and Timberborn, and mashed them together... I am intrigued! XD

[@silkdragon47]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@massiveminiteam]

Fair enough, we love all of those! :)

[@zazuch]

Will be downloading the demo of this tonight after work! Looks fun.

[@turosianarcher8771]

Finished it in a few hours. If you want more capacity, you can set up a loop instead of a dead end, and then have half your sparks go clockwise and the other half go counterclockwise. This effectively doubles the capacity of your path, as both directions can pick up at the same time. However, when doing loops, I had a heck of a time getting splitters to work how I wanted them to. Doing that caused sparks to go the wrong way when I merged the lines back together and all of them wound up going the same way in the end. Hopefully additional logistics will solve that in the full game.

[@massiveminiteam]

Awesome findings! ;)

[@Rogerfoulger]

really enjoyed this demo, looking forward to the full game

[@Bandit2033]

In that final screen, i see some interesting logistic plates. A speed plate. A filter plate so that sparkies dont leave areas unless they drop or pickup something. A one way plate. But seeing some of Nilaus's paths, I'm really hoping for a wait/timer plate, so you can space the sparkies out.

Niiice, wishlisted, thank you 😉

[@ciz121]

Loving the look of the game, will be giving it a try for sure.

[@Vanfryt]

I'm going to industrialize... cuteness !

[@LilyKittyFemboySimRacing]

This is actually adorable nwn

[@micheljolicoeur6094]

Looks real nice, will be Foundry'ing myself though as both games are coming about a week apart.

[@Just_Some_Salt]

I like the artstyle, very cute

[@massiveminiteam]

thank you so much! Going to tell the art team right away, they'll be delighted!

[@theral056]

oh neat, it's factorio pikmin. very cool

[@Vadymaus]

Game definitely have potential. Just need a more content, mechanics and challenges.

[@massiveminiteam]

You're reading our minds! ...or maybe our Steam devlogs too :) Much more is coming up already in April!

[@almightysnail5380]

game looks like when i want to build, i have to wait 4 hours for it to finish.

[@massiveminiteam]

not really, you can optimize the production to make stuff faster, and go explore in the meantime! :)

[@almightysnail5380]

@@massiveminiteam yes yes, i was just referring that artstyle looks like massively p2w mobile games, but ofc this will not be the gameplay for this one ✌️

[@danielh.9010]

The cuteness is turning me off, but the automation aspect makes me think twice...

[@Deathwish026]

so its overlord meets timberborn.

[@massiveminiteam]

Both are great, so... why not! :))

[@akiotatsuki2621]

Pikman meets Factorio

[@MirageGSM]

Good thing you cut out most of it. I've seen someone else play it in full, and gods, is it grindy...

[@massiveminiteam]

Can be more or less grindy - depending on how you choose to play :) We're trying to make the game in a way that everyone can play the way they like it, without just one way to do things. How do you usually play automation games? We'd love to know more!

[@AT_Lemongrab]

Did you play this for the recording then play it again on stream?

[@jayjasespud]

Pokemon? Nah, Pikmin

[@akuokami1677]

Well, it's not Dyson Sphere but it's different and you should be aloud to upload different content 😅😂

[@RichardPhillips1066]

Meh ..no

[@dionysuscool]

Sometimes I play your videos at .75 speed. You seem rushed. I’d rather watch a longer relaxed video.

[@Nilaus]

I feel I talk too slow compared to the rest of KZbin 😏

[@danielh.9010]

@@Nilaus You definitely don't talk too slow!

[@user-xl5kd6il6c]

Too much of a mobile game, HUGE UI and shitty graphics The DEI stuff is also a hard skip

[@cemmy410]

What DEI?

[@olafredriksson5607]

That intro was cringe. Did the company give you a script or did you have it written by an AI. As soon as you start playing and talking like normal you are of course great but please don’t do those scriptread intros.
