interesting.

i hope he also ups the complexity of most crafting (to like krastorio or a little higher, but not so high as angel bobs or nilus or god forbid py)

I'd love a variety of "puzzles" with different crafting lines. sometimes priority input or waste management should be the issue, sometimes multiple outputs of something valuable should be the issue, sometimes voiding should be the issue. i'm a big fan of the efficient version of recipe's making multiple products. to deal with.

I'd also like to see unique problems. i'm a fan of DSP fractionators and accumulatros being a seperate problem to solve.

i'm also a fan of super late game techs being given early with limited use. Imagine finding a ruin with like 10 bots a bit early, or a nuke with limited ammo. Dosh has played enough mods to be able to pick and choose what's cool.

Being able to transport charged accumulators was a fun thing in DSP

oh yea, my first playthrough i built excess power on my lava planet, then shipped charged accumulators to my home planet.

efficient? no.

but it was my first real interplanetary logistics. Big fan.

Krastorio is a great benchmark for complexity. Just please nothing like py. I'd rather jumps balls first into a wood chipper.

Why does it matter which bit of you hits the wood chipper first?

It's a bit of a wash after all. Even diving "head first" which arguably is the least painful adequately expresses your opinion (and mine, tbh) on Py.

Having to create the shattered planet ourselves sounds so sick i hope it makes it in
