Sorry about that - we'll address this.
Thank you Kiwi Rampage.
Thanks for the feedback! Could I ask you a few more things?
I'm interested in tuning the wealth thresholds for quest arriving/completion.
Thanks for all who played it and are willing to answer.
I haven’t gotten to this point in 1.3 yet, but I’d have to say that starting from zero research is probably going too far (if that is how it works), considering that in every scenario you at least start out with something. Maybe keep some randomly selected low tier research, or let the player choose a few to carry over. Just as long as it’s a reset to the equivalent of a new colony, not a reset to being even farther behind than tribals.
You're right. I am planning to have research go back to more or less something like a classic crashlanded start. Zero is a bit much.
I find that the charitable quests ? marks don't appear until the people are already leaving the map which makes it impossible for my colonists to catch up and give them the goods. You should be able to give them the items as soon as they appear on the map.
This was addressed in today's build - should be solved now.
I remember when DLC was called expansion packs, and you actually got a healthy extension to your game with new content. Nowadays all you get are small little packs of items or a handful of quests for half the cost of what an actual expansion would do. I think it was elder scrolls oblivion that had a few expansion packs that actually added new areas to explore, a bunch of quests and items, maybe a new class or race, etc. MMOs still kind of follow this rule with their expansions.
It's just sad that in nearly every aspect of your life, you are being nickel and dimed. You can't just buy something, you have to sign up for a service...
This is why we always call our expansion packs expansion packs!
It kind of annoys me that Steam forcibly labels them "DLC". This isn't a weapon skin.
Thanks!
I have always gone by the principle that the expansions shouldn't interfere with the core game in the slighest. Nothing should ever be visible but locked off, or unbalanced without expansion content, or even refer to expansion content.
We even use expansion-specific text patches to remove references to expansion mechanics in vanilla content. E.g. The description for the 'kind' trait is different with Ideology.
Thanks for the reply! I think it's fine for gameplay purposes to reset the research tree, lets you have something else to work on whilst still having continuity and having fully kitted out pawns and animals is a great help.
I also don't really mind harder raids since well, having valuables means you are a more attractive target but I would suggest if it's possible maybe soft capping expectations of your new colonists so they don't immediately demand stuff that's impossible to build. They were the ones who probably made the decision to sell so having high expectations and desire for rituals in a brand new place seems strange. Maybe a separate expectation category like slaves have that caps out expectations to low for some time to show the pawns are optimistic for having made a very successful colony.
I'm going to review how expectations play out here.
It would be good if I could get a savegame just after archonexus restart to inspect the game state. It'd be great if you (or anyone else reading this) could join the official dev discord and post one!
I had to tweet this one.
I love this.
Anima tree went really bonsai-style!
