Speaking of Reddit, the Reddit link in the OP is broken.  (Missed ".com" in it.)

[Kyzrati]

I think he brought up the possibility of removing the entrance to these branches altogether in reddit, which seems like best way to solve this problem without affecting balance.

Yep, I'm pretty sure this is the solution I'll be going with, otherwise running to the surface would be way too easy because there are quite a few branch exits as you get higher--which explains why everyone's running into them a lot and getting frustrated. By design, you're supposed to generally find branch exits before you find a main complex exit, so... good that that's working, at least .

Thanks for the heads up Toaster.

......Downloading now, looking forward to assploding horribly inside five minutes.

[Aoi]

Oooo.

Attempt 1: Horrible death on the second floor. Woo!

I feel somewhat obligated to check... has anybody completed it yet?

[Draxis]

Nope.  Several people have died on level -1, which may or may not be the next to last.

[endlessblaze]

yes. I thought enemys had to enter the map, but aprently they can sometimes just teleport.
no hidden door, just a distress signal from a scout. 

those pest are aptly named..............


speaking of....at one point I hacked out a scamatic for pest.....

each fabrication produced four...

I fabricated to sets and had an army of 8 pest swarming around me.....

then the stronger bots wore us down and got me

[Darkening Kaos]

     Had a CTD using a scanerator, RMB'ed a device, obviously that was not a valid option.

     Restarted back at the beginning of the level.  At least I keep my progress.


    Edit: HPW Shotguns FTW.

No, no teleporting, they do have to enter the map from the stairs. The distress signal just calls whatever is within range. Actually, thanks for mentioning that, because I realized that will become another slight balance problem if I temporarily remove unavailable branch exits for the next release... I'll have to think about that some more.

This is the first report I've seen of successful fabrication, good job . (There might be more on the forums, but I haven't been visiting the strategy boards for lack of time.) Either way, AWESOME! (But yeah, there are consequences for raising an army of robots...)

Thank you for the report. I'll have that fixed. RMB should work on items when scanalyzing, though (at least it did when I remember testing it).

And yeah, Hpw. Shotguns are some of my personal favorite weapons. Get in their face and BOOM!

Just a small QOL thing... I really would like a 'comparison' view. Constantly clicking back and forth between two items is annoying and doesn't work well if one item is on the floor and another is in inventory

What about just making them red or something so it's more obvious that they're not real, or making them a new prop with a placeholder graphic that doesn't trigger the EXIT DETECTED notice?

[endlessblaze]

I think I saw a bug with power production a few days ago but I can't be sure.....

If I see it again though I will report.



(As for the reinforcement of scouts' I guess I'm just to slow)

Yep, this is the #1 requested feature and something I'll be adding, though probably not right away because it'll take a bit to do a really good job of it.

Good suggestion. I'm trying to think of what both works best and requires the least amount of work, as it's just a temporary change. I have a number of options I'll be reviewing soon.

[forsaken1111]

Yeah making them red or just putting a padlock symbol over them would work

[Draxis]

The problem with that is when that when there's a Defender standing on them and the little message pointing them out pops up, there's no way to tell if they're real or not; and, depending how the triggers are work, removing or changing that for only some staircases could be a lot of work.

[endlessblaze]

thanks to some terminal hacking, and a local fabricator. I now have a technician 2a and serf 2a.

are they good for anything besides drawing enemy fire?
