[Power Cube?] Ep. 22 - Astro Colony

Made a lot of the late game items and to be honest with all of you it was pretty underwhelming.
Let me know what you want to see in #astrocolony, or what you have been having troubles with in the game!
Hope you enjoy and let me know what you thought down below.
You can support me at ko-fi.com/zachsletsplays if you would like to.
I do not have any benefits set up as of yet so please only support me if you think I deserve it!

Re planet mining machine: I just wish the auto-miners could be configured to fetch dirt, rock, quartz, and maybe wood. Might be nice for asteroids to have a chance for rock and quartz too.

[@zachsletsplays]

That is probably my #1 Wish for the game right now!

[@MetalKid007]

FYI. Dev said the energy transfer device doesn't transfer power off ship... yet!

[@zachsletsplays]

Someone else just said that it works now! I have not tested it yet, there is an update though!

[@MetalKid007]

@@zachsletsplays Ooo! The dev has been working so hard on this after release. I am totally rooting for him!

[@zachsletsplays]

@@MetalKid007 Absolutely when I come back to this game for another Let's Play. At the rate that they are adding new things its going to be almost like a whole new game!

[@lonnierh0dgejr41]

i was figuring solar panels were more efficient. seems like the dev needs to devise a multiplier for the more advanced power supplies to make them worth using.

[@zachsletsplays]

Yeah they need to do something because it is hurting the late game for me when I have the best early on.

[@joelv4495]

@@zachsletsplays For sure. Seems like the uranium reactors should produce ~150 and the fusion reactors maybe 2000 power given how long it takes to make them.

[@novoca1n3]

Solar seems to be way OP. Late game power needs to provide a much better return or they need to reduce solar output.

[@zachsletsplays]

@@novoca1n3 Yeah they defiantly have some late game balancing to do, however I have not been following it to much since i finished the game, they might have addressed some of them but, I'm not sure its been over a month since then so they could have..

[@novoca1n3]

@@zachsletsplays A lot has changed with various aspects of the game as the developer has basically been releasing updates/fixes every day. Would be nice to see another Let's Play however I do appreciate it's difficult going back to a game you've already completed. There is however a proper ending to the game now I believe

[@technica7788]

Why not try to make and complete challenges while waiting for updates? Like powering your factory fully with fusion, making a 100% efficient factory with no bottle necks and over production, and etc. Stuff like that would be really fun, love your content keep it up ❤️

[@zachsletsplays]

That is a good idea! I will probably do stuff like that in live streams as I plan on making that big station. I will be making sure it is as efficient as it can be.

Really fascinated to see you build. I just bought the game maybe a little over a week ago so I'm still early game, but it's nice to see that solar is not a waste! Looked at your cube and thought "32 solar panels per level? That doesn't seem dense enough?" Played around thought I'd pass on what I came up with: ➡⚡⬅⬇➡⚡⬅ ⬇⬆➡⚡⬅⬆⬇ ⚡⬅⬇⬆⬇➡⚡ ⬆➡⚡⚡⚡⬅⬆ ⬇⬇⬆⬆⬆⬇⬇ ⚡⚡⬅⬇➡⚡⚡ ⬆⬆➡⚡⬅⬆⬆ The individual vertical cables don't connect nicely on the top later like yours did, but it can be done with minimal loss (or just connect them under the floor and no one will know, haha). If you like the lined up pattern of yours, you could save some spaces with the top layer by rotating each layer 90 deg as you work your way up. Connects everything but the middle column along the way, saves some squares. 😉
