FINALLY got these belt lines completed.
I’m tired. Don’t really have much in the way of comments today.
Meanwhile, my wife made a bit more progress on the Ironworks factory.
I’ve been to that beach! I built a vacation beach house right off the coast there
Looking good! How are you getting around, generally? Trucks?
I’m really getting annoyed by the desert start location. The closest quartz is under a mountain inaccessible unless I finish researching Nobelisk, and the second-closest is 2.5km away through impassible terrain filled with unkillable monsters. It’s less “challenging” and more… “needlessly obnoxious”.
In this save, I’m just using muh Factory Cart. Haven’t built hypertubes, cause my wife won’t use them, they make her nauseous. Maybe eventually.
Planning to use trucks and tractors for transporting goods, though.
Which desert are you taling about? The same as us, Rocky Desert? That Quartz cave actually has 3 entrances, only 1 is blocked by boulders. If you’re talking about the Dune Desert, they must’ve changed it a fair bit, none of that rings a bell.
impassible terrain
Foundations + power lines (power optional) + zip line tool
unkillable monsters
Stun rebar + Xeno Basher (and maybe inhalers)
I mean, yes, eventually, after I found a bunch of quartz outcroppings and manually ground them to dust, I was able to get these options.
But quartz being completely unreachable for like, 4 whole tiers, is Unfun.
Also, this has been an issue for 6 years. Given how great every other part of the game is, this in particular stands out as a problem to me.
