Yeah, the tank is crazy cheap both to make and to research.

If it took say 100 artifacts and some advanced processors I'd be fine with it as is, make it comparable to power armor.  Maybe reduce it's resists to damage.

Do you guys think there well ever be support for multiple colonies? That was always one of the limitations I strained against from the Seirra games like Pharaoh/Cesar/Zeus to Dwarf Fortress. Even if time was stopped Sims style, I would enjoy the ability to at least pretend I was slowly colonizing an entire planet. (To be honest this is likely once again a pipe dream, alas it is too little game-play for such a significant resource investment.)

There already is support for multiple colonies, they just don't interact yet.  You create a world and then choose where you want to place your colony, and then you just save your colony state like in any other game.  Then instead of loading your last colony you can just start a new one on the same world.  So right now it is the sims style, just no interaction.

The whole world system isn't done yet, the last few biomes aren't even open yet.


Also on the whole demo thing: Don't expect a demo from a major company, they've all come to the same conclusion.  Out of 9 possible combinations between good, mediocre and bad game and demo combinations only 1 will increase sales, the majority hurt sales and the rest have a overall neutral effect.

Yeah, you can't operate (to remove or add) on corpses.

Prisoners are worth more as parts sold to just about anyone, as opposed to sell them as slaves.

And it'd.be great if the game was smart enough to let trains, planes, boats or trucks use any connected depot.

Fixed that for you.

At least openTTD let you make multiple lane stops and allowed vehicles to choose their own lane.

You don't want to set to full load for passengers because passengers have a target destination, and a set time they will travel.  If your train is waiting to leave because it needs to fill up and it waits for too long people wont want to board because the train's travel time will be to slow so they wont want to board so the train will never fill.

This isn't OpenTTD, everything has a destination and a maximum travel time.

You know what's better than showing a unrelated video game while talking about your game?  Showing art, show art related to your setting, your ideas for characters, your ideas for places.  You know what else works besides showing a competing product?  Showing your face, make a video of you and others who are working or interested in the project as you talk about the project.

It's not even that the zombie atom smasher in the background is a different product, it's distracting.  Same with the KS video, he's boring and the background is distracting.

Idea's neat, doesn't need to be KSed.  Age of digital distribution kind of kills the idea of HAVING to fund a book.  Sell it online and THEN use those funds to produce a physical copy.

Wait, does Artemis actually have a game associated with it, now? Last I heard it was a single test mission that was fun once or twice, but not so great after you knew what to expect.

That would have been the demo, around 2 years ago.  Even then the game had a few different adjustable missions, and allowed multiple bridge crews to play together/against each other.

Research progress is tied to colony.  So by stoping the research there and moving the colony you are doing that research on you start over
