It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Old old game about Dwarves who are tasked by the gods to chain up Fenrir and in return they are bestowed really awesome beards.

It features some charming humor but mostly really bad humor and the game's biggest weakness is pacing...

Diggles was fun but flawed and suffered from serious performance issues.

PTW because it's Klei who pretty much tie with CDPR for the mantle of the greatest developers ever.

However, as with Don't Starve, I'm really worried I'll burn myself out with it. I played DS really, really early on and completely burnt myself when it was good (but not amazing) - came back to it recently and was blown away though. Sorta don't want the same thing to happen with this.

Any news on multiplayer?

With enough work and polish, it could have been a forgettable flash game on Kongregate.

P.T.W

I hope when this is mostly done this eventually goes to X-box1 or something like Dont Starve did, because it Seems really interesting.

Any news on multiplayer?

I've not heard anything official (at least that I can find a source for) but this doesn't really seem like a multiplayer sorta genre. So I doubt it'll ever happen.

I'm kinda stuck in my first game since I ran out of coal and I cannot possibly sustain my colony with the hamster wheel. I tried the hydrogen generator but it won't run for any length of time on the weak hydrogen gas I got floating around. Definitely agree that there need more option to sustain the ecosystem, it quickly get to a point where you need to expand really fast to get resources and any mistake or unlucky placement is hard to recover from.

Yeah, I think right now running out of coal (or maybe water if you don't get purifiers running up pretty quickly) is pretty much the end of the game. I've heard talk of hydrogen generators, but I've done a lot of experimentation and I've never gotten them to work or actually see anyone else with a working set up. Afaik the gas pumping stuff just doesn't really work right now and probably gasses in general might need to be looked at first.

I think hampsterwheel base is possible if you're efficient and make a good use of your cheap power from coal to get enough resources that you can afford like half your dupes constantly running to power your base. But that's more holding pattern until you eventually run out of whatever contaminated water you've tapped in that time and then die anyway.

Edit: Unless you can get enough stress vomiters and actually make a water profit off them, I don't know if that's possible, but it's something I want to try.

I can confirm that it is much easier if you limit the colony to 4-5 guys. My living quarters are now well isolated from the rest of the cavern and i'm not wasting oxygen everywhere, and with enough art around everyone is at 0 stress. I barely started exhausting water and coal on this game too.

I think some of the issues could be solved if water sources had a little producer (like a water stone) and gas sources had the same - much like Oil in Factorio, which produces great masses at first, but gets down to a "minimum" income.

Hitting the Reject button a lot helps - but the challange is in getting as many guys as possible - I usually get to around cycle 30-40 and 10+ guys before the game becomes crash-logged.

Having a thing of just mounuments (deco range 8) between your cots helps a lot. I also found using several seperated Caves for Farming to be good, as if you put all your oxy-production in one area the air flow will mess up and you won't always have co² on the ground and o² "upstairs".

Also the game badly needs a "hatch" item, so you can limit gasflow without making L breaks in your ladder building.

Apparently I don't have the SimDLL.dll it requires, and Google is only giving me worthless info.

Uninstall/reinstall : /? Sucks.

This is my current hellhole, sadly after a while new resources (water, coal) are to far away for duplicants to do much. The ladder above goes 2-3 screens high but they can hardly get up there before turning around for food & other needs. I built a shitter up there, but really it just makes waste rain down on the others coming up.

There is at least 15 or so dead duplicants around... I kinda let it run while I was out shoping and they surived somehow. No fresh water without Power, no Power without Coal, Coal is to far away. Hydrogen is used up all around... Just seeing how long it takes for em to die. Cycle 80 shortly.-

I like the little dupe at the bottom, surrounded by toxic air in a crypt of his dead friends.

File path included because just posting I need SimDLL.dll wouldn't help anyone.

So now this hellhole is beyond 100 cycles, morphs (creatures made of disease) spawn right in the middle of my bedrooms...

The bodys you see are often stacked pretty high, here is one with 4 people in it:
