I got a key to the alpha weekend. Been playing a little bit and realised there isn't a thread.

If anyone has been keeping an eye on this game and wants to know something specific about it, ask away and I'll do my best to find out. I'm currently trying to get back to base after exploring so sorry if I'm slow to reply.

Watched some game footage on jewtube today - the inventory/crafting screens seem like ass to navigate. For a game trying to imitate factorio why did they leave out so many of its details: can't click a miner to get its ore, not all objects get set to the hotbar, seems like you can't check recipe costs unless you're at the correct crafting building.


f5ada0  No.16222105

>>16222095

You can pin recipes but it's not great. Basic resources need to be crafted at the hub so if you're out and about and need something extra, you're shit out of luck and have to run the whole way back home.

Though now that I think about it getting rid of your ore is the hard part. You need a smelter to do anything with it and that fills up from a single miner. If you have excess you've got to build another smelter and let it run. Every ore deposit has a block on it you need to harvest before you can place a miner so you'll always end up with a good 50 or so pieces of ore extra every time you expand.

>about industry and automation?

The more I play it, the more it feels like they ere going for the no man's sky audience. They spaced out the automation part a lot more than they should have. For example, you don't get conveyor belts until you've almost finished upgrading your hub base. That means you have to have drills and smelters set up for iron and limestone before you can even think about how to arrange these machines in order to use them properly. Meanwhile exploring is kind of neat. The scenery is arranged so that you have these platforming puzzles to get slugs and other rare items and often have to fight through enemies to get there. Some of the enemies are really spooky and the fireball shooting guys are probably my favourite to fight. Webm related. The scenery is varied and interesting and there's tonnes to see even in this alpha state where a lot is clearly unfinished.

Power is a whole 'nother can of worms. You start with a biofuel generator built into the hub as your only source of power and with a couple of upgrades you get a second one. After that you get the ability to make your own generators (of the same type). The problem with them though is that they don't have an input so you have to manually refill them. You have to have almost finished all the content of this alpha (approximately 1/3 of the unlock tree shown but not all available) and built a space elevator and launched something in it before you even get access to the research that will allow you to build coal generators which have an input. All the upscaling and expansion brought to tedium with constant blackouts and having to run back and forth to fill these fucking things until you get the ability to automate your power. Add to that that a machine can only connect to one thing and power poles can only connect to four (connected manually too) power management is a complete shitfest.

Last shot of the base. I think I've done as much as I need to. Interestingly you never get attacked at your base. Once you clear out an area it's clear. No waves of angry natives to chew up your machines. It's almost like the game is designed to be an exploration crafting sandbox where you automate the crafting aspect instead of a automation simulator like factorio. You're better off setting up your machines to fill storage containers than connect them directly to the space elevator because it needs different things each time and you need to click send so you can't really automate research.

If there is no automatic nested crafting from the inventory and automation isn't first and foremost, it's not a 3d Factorio. I have a bit less hope for this game after hearing about all the manual running and how late actual automation is.

Not even close to the type of complex factories in factorio. For instance you can only place one electric miner on a single ore vein unlike to factorio where you would place as many miners to exploit the most of the vein.

>>16222302

Played 4 hours yesterday and I definitely agree that power is the most retarded part of the early game. The explicit theme of the game is making an automated factory, but you cannot automate energy production? I honestly think that they've made it so just to prevent you from leaving the game running and accumulating resources.

Unlike Factorio, there is no enemy threat, which means there is no constant pressure to keep up with their evolution, nor do you have to think much about layout, since there is no need for protection. These two things combined really takes a lot of motivation out of the game for me, since there is no concrete failure state.

Not like that's explicitly a bad thing, just means the game in practice is closer to heavily modded Minecraft than Factorio. But that means the game has to have increasingly complex machinery and a massive amount of depth/content instead of economies of scale like Factorio. But I don't think the devs are autistic enough to make that work, either.

The game definitely needs work.

The UI is very wonky. Enemies move oddly, especially the ranged ones.

For anyone currently playing: Don't throw a hard-drive in the analyzer. That crashes the game when you confirm it's completion.

As for the main differences between it and factorio because let's face it that's the only thing people care about

>Static map, no random generation

>Construction isn't bound to a "grid", so you can get your autism triggered constantly through imperfect placement

>Terrain isn't flat and this can ruin your day

>Power requires you to connect every (powered) structure to a power pole, but a power pole can only have 4 connections, so you end up needing to manage your fucking power lines too.

>Ore primarily comes in the form of a limited amount of infinite resource wells. You can only place one drill on them, and no more, forcing you to expand. but not in the alpha weekend demo because there's not enough to do

>You can build walls and foundations(floors) to construct buildings. This allows you to vertical stack your factory. Objects are allowed to fly disconnected from the ground, and there is seemingly no height limit (pic related)

>Instead of manufacturing "science packs", unlocking researches requires you to just dump certain materials in high amounts.

>Game has stronger focus on exploration; you can find various items in the environment, like the glowing slugs that can be crafting into overclock modules for your machines or hard-drives that unlock additional crafting recipes.

>Can't craft from your pocket; have to use a workbench. (But you can build from your pocket, including the workbench.)

Overall, I find it a significantly more clunky but more comfy Factorio.

Just played a bunch of hours and I agree with you, although I think the way enemies move is neat.

The alpha is pretty short though, 6 hours is enough time to research everything (although if you do more exploration than I did it might take longer).

Also not sure how fun building will be in the long run due to not having to manage finite resources. Then again, managing a bunch of small miners and panicking to find a new resource node when the old ones run out in Factorio wasn't what I'd call fun.

More also, is there any point to making a building at all? I only used ramps to get to my Hub since it wasn't on flat terrain.

f6a308  No.16225722

>>16225546

The only true building aspect in subnautica is planning for resources. The fabricator and scanner does all the building, this is parallel to higher tech life, where dumb people can easily survive due to the only difficulty being exploration for gathering resources. (Obtaining skill in a Tradeskill is null because you rely on tech to make it) I loved the game though.

For myself a true building game is one where survival is not the only reason to build. Maintain borders, interact with neighboor societies, plan for siege for crusades, and trade. (Wurm, my thoughts draw me near it)


f6a308  No.16225737

Maybe this is why kids love Subnautica, because there's no intelligence plateau demanded from the player. Something like Wurm requires extra intelligence in order to progress. And thus one understands the quality of communities born from games. Attracts different types.

It allows you to build your factory vertically.

You can make foundations in the sky, and build things like constructors on them. On top of that, the game supplies you with other components like "wall with a conveyer belt support on the side" to assist vertical factory construction.

It's not even expensive. 6 cement per foundation, and cement is barely used in the span of the alpha weekend.

>>16225398

Pretty much, except Subnautica is 100% exploration and no automization. And also gets a pass with a lot of issues due to being one of the only underwater games.

Subnautica is fun and the exploration is quite good. It's worth a play if you pirated or otherwise got it for free, but the devs are faggots so you should avoid buying it.

However, for some reason they felt the need to fill the sequel with massive amounts of poz, starting with having a sassy black female as the voiced protagonist who constantly talks to her sassy black sister over coms. Subnautica Below Zero isn't even worth a pirate.


b6acbd  No.16227497

Yeah I saw that Below Zero has a black MC whose hands show all the time even though it's really fucking cold? Black people aren't as good with cold but whatever it's not a big deal but at least put some fucking gloves on. Guess they want to constantly remind the player and shove it in their faces.

I don't understand why it's not a blank silent protag you can self-insert into and immerse yourself anyways, seems silly.


e1ed33  No.16227554

>>16227497

If I recall right the game literally starts with the player character cracking their knuckles in front of them to make sure you won't miss the black nigress hands. I only watched it on a video but I stopped when 10 minutes in it was still in walking simulator mode and the only thing that happened was the MC virtue signaling with some other bitch in a radio.

Contrast that with the real Subnautica, it starts from a 2x2 square meter gameplay tutorial room and when you exit you're out in the sea to fend for yourself.

You really should treat them as completely different games that aren't related in any way except shared universe.

I don't really care about a black MC, but the PDA entry about her in-game uses her "their" pronoun.

Like many other anons have already pointed out, the early game is slower than Factorio, it takes a lot of time to get to simple automation (miner -> smelter -> constructor -> storage), and most of that time is spent walking around back and forth to collect resources.

They should either increase player speed, lower recipes costs or rework the tech tree so you can get stuff earlier.

Lack of overhead view makes autism dependent solely on whether you have the patience (and resources) to add floors to every single space you want to build. In my case my laziness overcomes my 'tism, so my factory is disgusting.

The z-axis does allow for more interesting and complex factories, but there's no easy way to alter conveyor belt height. Although even if you do cross beltways they don't mix, they just clip over each other. This looks fucking horrible, so I just built a conveyor pole on top of an existing belt, built a curved belt over it, then removed the conveyor pole (pic related). They could fix this by giving you the option to alter the conveyor pole height.

My biggest gripe was how it's all so fucking tiresome, to the point that I don't want to scale my production because it's going to take so much fucking time, and I'll have to keep walking around cutting trees and picking grass to power all of it.

TL;DR:

>Player movement speed sucks.

>Have to craft stuff at the crafting table, so if you're far away from base and you don't have the resources, you're going to have to go all the way back.

>The whole fuel aspect of the game is horrible (I haven't finished the space elevator yet, so I don't know if I'll have to keep foraging fucking leaves to make biofuel for the rest of the game)

>The game wants you to explore, which is great, but the crafting aspect of it punishes you for straying far away from the base.

So it's a simpler Factorio, but less satisfying and slower. The game has potential, but they need to fix a lot of stuff.

I don't suppose they have any sort of blueprint/bot system? Any indication that it's even coming later?

Construction and Logistic Bots are incredibly important to the pacing of Factorio since they allow a player to painlessly scale up their builds in the mid/lategame (even better in 0.17 now that we have a built-in Upgrade Planner to swap out belts/machines for higher-tier counterparts).

After the space elevator you can unlock coal in tier 3. (Way too late if you ask me though.)

>>16227676

I haven't seen anything indicating of the sort. I have my doubts about it ever being put in, since entities aren't stuck to a grid.

I think that might be the most ass-backwards tech tree progression I've ever heard, period.

Yeah, I've just finished the first space elevator delivery, apparently there's a truck that has a crafting bench and inventory, it can also be automated to make pickups, so that could be useful, still, as you said, too fucking late.

Invidious embed. Click thumbnail to play.

>>16227709

You only build the anchor of the space elevator. The shaft itself just comes from space and docks into it. (See embed)

That doesn't stop it from being retarded. Why the fuck are we forced to burn bio-fuel until we get this piece of shit going? What's worse is that after you build one, your hub still sends fucking drop-pods to space with the ingredients for unlocking techs. What the fuck did we even build this piece of shit for?!

I reckon the story is going to tie into this. Like the corporation you work for is keeping the better tech from you until you pony up resources.

Anyone doing so would directly make an enemy out of anyone who already had the software and incidentally make an enemy out of most anyone that didn't and subsequently took advantage of it. Open-sourcing this kind of software would be an act of Darwinian suicide.

You only build the base, the actual shaft is dropped from orbit.

Go ahead and publicly recreate things based on Nicola Tesla's works and see how fast the CIA will be on your ass. They even do strict monitoring over harmless little gimmicks like a specific dye that has the unique property of blocking all light except a specific range of radiation which is purported to allow one to see auras and active electronic devices.

Ever since operation paperclip guys like Tom Clancy will never be allowed to exist ever again.

Yeah so far the power generation is fucking shit. I'm about to unlock Tier 5 and 6 and I'm still using a mix of Coal and Biofuel. Once you start over-clocking your machines it becomes woefully inadequate.

Why the fuck there isn't something like Nuclear/Solar/Geothermal is beyond me. I'm hoping there's some new type of power generation in the next tier.

This looks its built using the Sanctum 2 engine. Regardless, I'm fucking pissed, because Sanctum 2 was awesome as shit but couldnt be marketed so they made fucking stupid shit Goat Simulator and now theyve gone down the rabbit hole of money and theyll never do anything but make garbage from here on out. It's sad because I was one of the top players in the world on Sanctum 2 (not saying much, but still) and now I have absolutely no desire for a third one, because it will inevitably be garbage. Fuck you, Coffee Stain.

The devs are absolute reddit tier faggots, but the game is absolutely fun as fuck. It's less autistic than factorio to be honest since I can route the belts any way I want in 3D space and not worry too much about placement. I put probably 50 hours in it so far.
