Hello,

we have shown some bigger things recently, so it is time to also show some smaller things, because the bigger things wouldn't shine that good without the smaller things working properly!

Hello,

In the last FFF-386 we covered the natural landscape of Vulcanus which mostly showed the visuals, but as you are probably aware we always put gameplay first. Now it's time to find out what kind of greater good you can do to the planet...

Hello,
we've already shown the space platform processing cycle in FFF-380. Let's talk a little bit more about the machine which makes it all possible - the asteroid collector.

Hello,
we are going to focus on the general improvements of the way circuit network is used in the game.

I wasn't using it often, because all the problems combined made it too big of a hassle most of the time, which was an indication of problems.

So we improved each part of the process of using it a little, from UI, to feedback of what is going on, to stronger/more accessible combinator functionality.

I can say that it worked, at least for me. Once these changes were available, I used the circuit network way more in my latest playthrough, and it felt good, so lets hope it won't be just me :)
