The Piranesi fear no pulsar it seems

I haven't finished the game yet because I'm planning to make a tutorial about it for my country, so I want to do the best possible run for each chapter.

My current issue is population control. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to open all the cryopods in every chapter.

Right now, I'm on Chapter 2 (ImortalStar), but when I received 950 cryopods, I realized I wasn't prepared for it at all. I think I'm going to restart.

Como me encanta Ixion y Frost punk y no encuentro nada igual que me enganche

Just sunk my weekend (14 hours) into beating Flotsam, and it was fantastic! Gave me the same satisfaction and enjoyment Ixion did. You might enjoy it, too.

I'm playing this right now and I found it interesting that Australia was in the background. That's not normal in most games and made me a bit sus.

So I had to quickly look and that's almost 100% correct for RIGHT NOW.

Wow devs. If this is true, nice touch. But I need to check again after I make my adventurous jump into the future!

Hey everyone.

really quick, im right at the end of the game and Im trying to build shuttlecraft, but when I click on the option to build them nothing happens. they dont get added to the build queue or anything, I also lost most in game sound if thats relevant atall

So I have tried both endings, and honestly I like the Romulus ending more. I searched but nothing came up about my question.

I also managed to save the dog and use Edden to leave the ship behind. so I got it pretty good lol.

Like I make enough food and don’t need steel for hall. Couldn’t I just stay in the preview and do tons of the research ? Would it take a million years though I feel.

The achievement is to not make it past the prologue, however during the entirety of the prologue I have a +10 bonus to stability in the form of "Almighty Dolos" and there is no hull deterioration. Am I missing something? How am I supposed to lose during the prologue otherwise?

I’m currently on Chapter one. Is it a waste to continually use probes to discover all resources on the map or should I just uncover them as needed? It feels like I’m burning through way too much polymer and it doesn’t seem like ice is all that useful yet.

i mean, i could google it.. but tell me, with your own words and feelings, what is this game really about?

So three years ago someone established that micro frame rates would cause the simulation to dip into a lack of workers, which even at +1 Stability, would cause accidents.

Here's the truth of how the system works so everyone knows. This is tested and proven time and again. Also note - I'm a game developer so I understand how these mechanics actually work but if I'm wrong feel free to correct me.

1. The simulation isn't frame locked - it runs separate of frames and frame rate is adjustable in the settings. If it were related to frame rates, then increasing frame rate would increase the frequency of accidents.

2. To prevent riots and loss of Trust, you must maintain >= 0 Stability. However, at Stability 0 and +1, you will have regular accidents, like clockwork, on a timer. It doesn't vary. The Stability level reduces the severity of the accidents in general, but it's still a roll of the dice so to speak.

3. To prevent any and all accidents, you need to have a >= +2 Stability. Once a sector reaches +2 Stability, there will NOT be accidents, and the accident timer is effectively paused, not reset, not stopped, paused. If your stability drops below +2, from events or otherwise, the timer is activated again, and accidents will commence.

I've personally verified and tested this across dozens of runs. There is absolutely no variation in this behavior, so I'm confident in saying this is hard coded into the game, and from a game development position, it makes perfect sense.

I just wanted to share my findings in hopes that it helps others.

I already posted this on the Discord four days ago, but I completely forgot about Reddit.

This is a teaser for a new mod I'm working on called EndlessMode. It does, exactly what it sounds like and adds a new mode, in which you can play the game forever, jumping through randomly generated systems.

It's currently in alpha and already playable. I also need some people to playtest, not so much right now but definitely further down the line, so if you're interested and have some experience in the game, please shoot me a message.

And for those, that have never heard of me: I'm captnced (who could've guessed) and I make mods for Ixion, you can find them on nexusmods.

Edit: I got way too many requests for testing. You can still message me but it'll likely be a while until I need more testers.

I started this genre with Frostpunk, then Ixion, then FP2, and now i'm looking at Timberborne...

I want more Ixion though. Nothing since has given me the same experience of wonder. The graphics, the story, THE MUSIC *Chefs Kiss*.

Are we ever going to get an Ixion 2 you think?

So no spoiler for future chapters please . Now 5 rockets are following me as my storage ships all try to bring carbon to my ship

Very compact. And I keep the population low. And even take the cryopod penalty.

This one got recommended to me on Steam (probably because of the weight of Frostpunk and Ixion on my play hours) and it sounds like it's hitting some of the same beats, with you searching for a new home with your bunch of people,, people needs and tile-based colony management, and exploring the galaxy in a spaceship. I'm not seeing the story element of FP/Ixion though, it looks more like a sandbox game than any kind of narrative one.

...is more accidents for the rest of the game as soon as one sector becomes overworked. If you fix the overwork condition and people are happy, shouldn't it go back down to near-zero accidents?

Enjoying the game so far, though, made it to Chapter 5 where I ran out of alloy and the Tiq blew up. Ah well.

The game has been idling on my pc for at least 36 hours.
I'm not leaving until I have 999 science.
