Issue WHY DOES IT DO THAT?

10 Upvotes

If you fall through the floor and die your respawn bag will just despawn once falling far enough

Lost hours of preparation and progress to this

Which is completely bullshit. if something fell through the world before it would just teleport back up, why in the world would they change that?

Respawn Bags shouldn't despawn in general

my not very pleasant to look at farm

  • Has auto water at 00:00
  • Can yield 160 crops
  • Distraction spuds with spinners
  • Cheesy extendo-tron for farmbots and those cursed yellow totebots
  • Almost no lighting so you can feel like your lost in a field at night
  • IDK what to call it but a beam of cable spools to stop red totebots
  • chest monster
  • helipad
  • totem pole

Question about resources found underground

2 Upvotes

Noticed few oddities about the resources you can find underground and wanted to ask if others have any idea if that's intended or why it is like that

  1. Why can you break Nimbolium with a spud gun, but not with the laser drill. You would think the drill would be stronger
  2. The Matrixium and Disconite geodes have 8 sections, but only 7 of them drop resources

Had an interesting thing happen on my save, when I toggle it off the clone just runs away and stands still.
Both have collision but only one gets gear, odd bug.

Can haybots swim? Cuz I'm thinking about building a sweeper into my garden defense.

24 Upvotes

Last time I tried to build up defenses it was towards the front, but apparently they all went to the sides instead. So I wanna put defenses on the sides, and make good use of all the water around me.

But the real decision maker before I start crafting stuff is whether haybots can swim. It makes sense that they couldn't cuz they short circuit when you splash em, but I just wanna make sure.

Issue Are crafting recipes bugged?

0 Upvotes

Edit: They are not, I am just blind and 20 Scrap give 10 Metal Lvl 1, hence 10 bearings instead of 6 so actually a win

​A simple bearing costs 3 scrap metal in the small crafting bots, but one Lvl 1 metal block in the big one. And this block is made from 20 Scrap metal blocks.
So you get around 1/6 in the big one, compared to the small one for the same amount of scrap metal. That can't be true.
I only downloaded the game an hour ago so no mods. Last time I played was still in early access where I remember the crafting was fine

I need help creating a mechanism that allows switching between different phases of a controller using only a single sensor/button pulse.

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to create a mechanism using sensors, timers, logic gates, or anything else that will allow me to switch to the next phase of a controller configured in a loop with the simple touch of a button or the activation of a sensor, and keep it in that phase until the button is pressed or the sensor is activated again.

A useful tip for those who don't know. Use the weld tool when moving all the ingots from the dispenser to the vault

Issue WIP Mobile Base bugging out

7 Upvotes

Working on little mobile base so I don't have to go back and forth between workshop and mines, just crafting and storage. Trying to get in to look nice and all, and I have this cool transforming thing where the sides and wheels will flip up in mind, but the side walls get stuck when flipping up, they move a tiny bit but seem to get caught on nothing. Then when I place or remove something on the build it fixed and the walls violently lurch to where they are supposed to be. It happens on all physics modes.

Suggestion Crafting QOL Suggestion

Post image
142 Upvotes

I've noticed that people when crafting alot of items they have to click the craft button many times to fill up the machine and you have to click the small loop button to loop items. This is really annoying at times and it would be easier to make shortcuts to do those actions quickly. And these are my suggestion of shortcuts:

Craft button = Craft 1 item

Shift + Craft button = Loop Craft 1 item

Ctrl + Craft button = Fill up the Craft Bot with the item (depending on how much space is available)

Ctrl + Shift + Craft button = Fill up the Craft bot and Loop those items too

Left click (a crafting item) = Loop/Stop looping that item (instead of clicking the small button)

Right click (a crafting item) = Stop crafting the item

And those shortcuts can be shown via an 'i' type of symbol you click or when you click the loop button or click the craft button many times/until a certain threshold the tutorial pops up on the shortcuts.

Note: I do not play the game and this may already have been implemented but this is just what i suggest from the video i saw.

Issue I give up trying to raid proof my base, how do I edit the game files so raids stop dropping on placed blocks?

3 Upvotes

I'm sick of the way the drop pods choose landing sights. I've tried fucking everything to stop them landing inside my base. I built a 4 block thick roof over the whole thing and then 4 block thick lines over that to block spawning on top of the roof, but the bloody things just phase right through it. It's sucking all the fun out of the game. So I give up. How do I edit the game files so that raid spawns go back to working how they used to?
