Hello!

I did some final small touches to the game and after expanding the refinery I started to hate the pipe flow mechanics so before I go do something really weird like turning the whole refinery to barrels-on-belts to avoid the big pipes, I am sharing it here.

I started a new deathworld playthrough on 0.15 so hopefully I will not be playing this save anymore, sooo here it is :) ...

I'm interested to hear what you think about it.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about:

Pretty sure that cooling towers won't be a thing. Alien artifacts will be removed completely.

Since uranium can be enriched there is probably also some kind of richer uranium. There will be another machine for the uranium enrichment process. I'm blanking on the name right now, but it was shown in the latest post by /u/v453000.

centrifuge is the enrichment machine, and there won't be cooling towers. Nuclear power is reactor, centrifuge, heat pipes, turbine, mining drill.

We do keep using win7 overall, our rendering machine has win10 ... I was just refering to the fact that microsoft took this long to make a console which can be resized horizontally... :P

Yeah, but I'm up to it! Worst comes to worst I can just model my own without the actual models but then it will lack the beautiful touch that you guys have 😉

I should have replied in more complete form ... point is, we probably don't want to release the 3D sources for many reasons like it's a load of data, it can be a mess, and I don't even feel too good about sharing my 3D source ... So the eventual solution would probably be that we provide 3D print-ready STL files, but that is a lot of work. :)

The thing is that it's quite a lot of work to make the 3D model printable...

yeah, but when you have 45deg projection, the 3D grid is distorted in y by square root of 2 (1,41)

(eh, not really, if your workflow is satisfactory then it is fine, I just switched to powershell since it is way more powerful and flexible)

I just doubleclick .bat files that I wrote earlier :P so far...
