Been watching people on Twitch play the new update. I am well pleased with the gameplay as it sits. It isn't 100% perfect, but it never will be and further tweaking would probably make it worse.
So, more quests. More quests. More quests. I will be finishing the tier 2 quests, setting up the TE machines, the MFR stuff and AE. I might add quests for the smeltery and the High Oven/Deep Tank.
And then next week, maybe, the location quests.
Dehydration is still rather high, I've spent a lot of time during the first nights making dirt and boiling it into water to survive the next day. (It needs 4-5 bottles per day.) But other than that it plays very smoothly now, fantastic job!
The Machine Frame as reward for the kill quest was a nice surprise. And it came at exactly the right time. Now what to do with it:
- Magma Crucible would be nice to have early access to some higher level materials
- Glacial Coplactocator quest and with that access to smoothies and Delighted Meals .. and new building materials
- MFR Grinder would be perfect now. The base is secured, might as well grind up all the mobs when they linger at the fences
- Or a second Activator. Then I could automate the Gravel making in addition to the ore generation.
... decisions, decisions.
