Really enjoyed the demo. mined about 90% so far. Going to give it a 2nd run as well. My biggest gripes so far have been fps drops in the later stage of the game, and the off centre placement of buildings. I'd love a area copy/cut paste function for replacing columns of miners.
Hey, thanks so much for playing and leaving feedback! Getting through 90% of the demo and wanting a second run really means a lot to me. :)
Area copying and moving are already available, but I clearly need to make those controls easier to discover:
- Shift + C, then left-click and drag over an area to copy a group of machines and belts, including their settings.
- Shift + F, then left-click and drag to move an entire group for free, keeping its contents. This should help with repositioning whole columns of miners!
- After selecting the group, R rotates it, left-click places it, and right-click cancels. Copying costs credits for the new buildings; moving is free.
- For individual machines, aim at one and press C to copy or F to move.
Thanks for pointing out the late-game FPS drops and off-centre placement too. I’ll look into both.
If you’d like to try the full version, I’d be happy to send you a copy! Thanks again for giving the game a go and helping me improve it.
Oh I'd love to get my hands on the full game I would prefer to pay for it though, I was under the impression that only the demo was available atm.
Edit: Just finishing off my 2nd demo run, and I think the FPS drops are due to belts, my second base is processing more stuff but a lot more compact.
Edit2: Been using copy and cut a lot in my new save, one of the biggest things I would like is a force build so if I 1/2 build a blueprint before (due to price) it would make it much easier if I could just paste over the top of it. It would also be nice if you could just build even if there are errors with placement, I can paste it down then manually fix the problems after the fact.
