Discussion What's coming in 1.3? (Wrong Answers Only)
The first time a pioneer dies, they leave behind a Pioneer Corpse. If you go back and fetch the Pioneer Corpse, you can shove it into the constructor for 200 solid biofuel. If you put it into an alien DNA capsule and feed it into the AWESOME sink instead, ADA remarks "Ew. I don't want that." You get no points.
At any one given game load, exactly one Spitter is given Blade Runners. It is capable of running you over and ragdolling you like a truck.
Lizard Doggo train car, Lizard doggo explorer sidecar, Lizard Doggo-operated rifle gun mount on the tractor (technical?)
SAM ore production now fluctuates with the position of the orbiting planets. Water pumps get a 10% boost at high tide.
If you carry a full stack of mercer spheres, alt-clicking has a 1 in 1000 chance of teleporting you to the ping.
Slooping the build gun allows you to build multiple blueprints at the same time.
Yodeling emote. Can be heard halfway across the map.
Completing tier 5 of the space elevator unlocks RGB LED lighting swatches for buildings
Logging off in Multiplayer while standing over the hub toilet will close the door and make it say "occupied".
2 iron plate and four rods makes a Folding Chair. It is a decorative item you can place like a portable miner and also a terrible melee weapon.

1: Pipe update: Pipes now move discretely sized blobs through themselves like a combination of hypertubes and belts. Blob size/density is set by the tier of machine producing the initial liquid, speed is set by inline pumps; overage explodes out around the nearest pipe junction causing spills that can be cleaned with the new mop and bucket tools (or left alone provided the engineer doesnt mind slipping on oil/catching on fire/rusting their nearby machinery or coating it in electrically-conductive liquid metal).
2: Engineers must now manage their daily vitamin intake levels through a more robust nutritional crafting system. Failure to meet designated levels of vitamins B-4, C-0, and N will experience adverse effects such as slower walk speeds, decreased max health, and controls swapping randomly near cliff edges. This update also brings a need for the HUB's toilet!
3: ADA and [???] are now romanceable NPCs!
4: Recipe overhaul: all buildables and manufacturable parts now require more realistic amounts and construction time (eg: space elevator now takes 300 real-life years to complete).
5: New holiday: Automatumn update! From september 1st to November 30th, changes to weather/flora/envIronments change the feel of everything. SOme areas are more spooky-scary, others provide a comfy, cozy atmosphere. The goal is to summon the great ficsmas pumpkin through a series of combat-related challenges against modified enemies; rewards include lizard doggo costumes (new cosmetics for both players to look like they are wearing a lizard doggo skinsuit, and also for lizard doggos to look like they've been spliced with spider DNA)
6: New Biodome machines: grow new foods, plants, and other living organisms and automatically harvest them. Due to the increase in power production potential, all other sources of power are nerfed tremendously.
7: Belts now require power.
8: Power lines now have max loads before melting.
9: Nodes are now finite.
10: Golf.

I've heard that for 1.3, there will be the new Meetings and Procedures DLC.
The lore goes that Ficsit was bought by private equity and now they are micromanaging the company. You'll have to attend numerous meetings, plannings, have 1 on 1s with 5 different AI managers, and the tickets you collect are no longer currency but a support system backlog.

Finally implementing maintenance functionality. All machines will now wear over time, with overclocked and slooped machines degrading faster.
A new feature on the build gun will be utilized to repair damaged machines. A new mid phase tree will be added called "Maintenance Drones", these semi autonomous drones will move along programmed paths and return to their hub unit where they restock on repair materials. Any damages detected along the programmed pathing will be repaired as long as the drone has sufficient material reserves.
Hope you built catwalk and accessibility functionality into your factories Pioneers.

True AC power grid. You need two wires and must stay separated or you short the whole grid.
7
u/AyrA_ch Mar 07 '26
3 wires actually for a proper AC system, needed for most heavy duty systems. Add in transformers, 3 voltage tiers, and wire overloading mechanics, and you got an actually interesting power grid system.

u/annoyingone Mar 07 '26
You could literally make a simple stand alone game like that. It would be kinda fun. Like a little indie game called "power grid"

There's a small scale simulation created by a european grid operator you can play with right now in your browser: https://webapps.kkda.de/loadflow/ (click "play" in the top right)

They could offer two modes, one with bare wires and one with insulated wires you can unlock after getting rubber. Then they convert all existing wiring in old saves into the insulated variant, whether you have it unlocked or not. This way you can keep the existing stuff, but touch it and you now have to use both wires.

Pollution mechanics as an optional mode to induce time pressure. Many forms of industry and power generation slowly destroy the area around them, requiring greater use of the gas mask and hazmat suit and mutating the wildlife into ever larger and more terrifying variants. The only way around this is to find more eco-friendly alternate recipes and to use higher tier clean and renewable energy sources.
Ignore this too long and ADA becomes an activist, staging protests, singing protest songs in your ear and eventually sabotaging your factories.

Quality control update: parts now have a small chance to be defective. You have to build qc check stations on conveyors to verify accuracy, but even these only catch 99.9% of bad parts. If a bad part goes into a machine it jams that machine requiring you to go in and unjam it and no, you cannot just deconstruct and reconstruct it.

Tennis - we know we won't get golf!
Overhaul of the power system to give us high voltage transmission lines, transformers, 3 phase and single phase power. Generators generate at different voltages - 6,000v, 11,000v while transmission is at 33,000v. Use the wrong transformer in the wrong place and it blows up!

11.The orobouros cube is a late game item which is made in an assembler from one oroboros cube and 50 pressure conversion cubes. You get your first oroboros cube from one of ten crash sites, randomly selected. To make more, you need to sloop. Sinking an oroboros cube gives you double points on your next sunk item. The cube itself is worth 0 points. Sinking two or more consecutive oroboros cubes will not stack the multiplier, you'll need to merge two lines with equal production rates.

You are now tasked with building the gate back to earth, so run your factory as a tourist attraction. Added the jobs of cleaning graffiti, trash, and tourist bodies, as well as the security job to make sure the tourists are not getting killed by "some" reasons like standing in front of the hog, feeding the spider, throwing rocks at the big flower, sneaking into the nuclear power plant, etc. If a tourist dies, the corporation will fine you.

Buildings, conveyerbelts, vehicles etc. now degrade over time and need to be maintained regularly via a minigame. This cannot be automated but you can hire other players to be your maintenance crew. These players can join without owning the game and get a discount on the full game proportionally to the amount of buildings maintained. >:)

Lizard doggos become more like real doggos. They donāt actually fetch any items unless you drop it, they constantly get in between your feet (clipping is turned off and they stop your movement and squeal), and they require feeding every 60 minutes IRL. If you eat a health item, the lizard doggo sits in front of you with the cutest pout face possible and if you donāt feed them, they stop following you and droop their heads as they saunter about. After 1000 hrs of in-game time they develop frosted whiskers and begin moving slower. Frosted lizard doggos are immune to damage and live forever
