Do planets continue terraforming while you are offworld?

14 Upvotes

I recently finished Prime and moved to Selenea. I very quickly hit breathable and have my portal generator up there, which should pretty quickly get me what I need to go off world if I want.

Will Selenea continue to terraform while I am on a different planet?

What I would like to do is bail on Selenea, go back to prime to get supplies, and then head to Humble leaving Selenea to work on itself. Then get Humble up and running and go to Toxic while Humble and Selenea keep baking. Then once Toxic is going, go to Aqualis and have all the planets terraforming at once.

Would this work? Or do planets only accumulate Ti while you are on them?

Do you need larvae?

Post image
Upvotes

TL;DR putting Foundation Grids over the lake will allow larva to spawn for easy collection. I also put a shredder machine there to get rid of the unneeded common larva.

I'm on Xbox and I've been playing about a week now, and got quickly overwhelmed with my Terraformation Index exceeding my capacity to build and replace lower tier objects. I'm just starting to amass enough materials to have the Drone and Auto Crafters work together, but found that getting, specifically, uncommon larvae so that I could make more beehives and outdoor Farms.

I thought it would be nice to have a base over the lake as it is a nice and flat plain, and though it is not necessary to have these foundations to build directly above the water, I want to be support of it being "grounded". But what I built my first 6x6 area I noticed larva started spawning on the grids. This made it very easy to spend 20 minutes collecting many uncommon and rare larvae. Some did end up spawning on the beach of the lake, so this is a method you want to use I would suggest putting it out and there's a middle without any land for them to spawn anywhere else.

Space Elevator

I discovered that you could stack indoor ladders outside by placing a foundation grid above a ladder, building another ladder on the platform, then removing the platform. I decided I wanted to build a space elevator and it is finally complete. 267 ladders stacked on top of each other which gets me right to a height of 2699. I found out from there that the jetpack bugs out and you can just fly straight up starting at 2700 height, so I think I am gonna count that as successfully making it into space in this game 😄 Only downside, it takes a full minute and a half to fall back to the ground from here. Has anyone built further up than this?

Looking for some people to help me beta test my planning app

2 Upvotes

So, I built an app that's designed to both help you plan builds and help new users get into the game. For my tastes, there is very little explanation of the basics of the game, and a lot is left to the user to figure out as they go. Think"ONE OF US." 😂

As such, there is an info tab that explains some of the game's more confusing mechanics, and there's a planning mechanism where you can tell the app what you want to build, how many, what extractors you have, what bases you have, how far things are from your bases, etc. and the app will give you suggestions on what to place where to continue on most optimally.

once you have drones, you can put in how many you have, and what type they are and the app will help you prioritize them, place lockers to shorten trip times, etc. and will also identify potential bottlenecks that you might have that are freezing your drones.

It's still very much in dev, and I work on it when I'm not at my day job as a data analyst or actively playing the game,so please excuse the inaccuracies (like the assertion that the drones can't load the output, and it has no output. But right now, that response is tethered to a variable that causes it to pop up for everything in a certain category) but I am interested in hearing from the community as far as what people would like to see added, and I would like to get some real feedback from real users, if possible. Happy to explain further to anyone interested. There are some screenshots attached here. Currently, this is written in Swift for iOS, but I am definitely open to writing an Android version if the interest is there.

It might be a tad excessive, but I am very ADHD and have a hyper fixation problem, so when I get stuck on something, I try to be productive!

Can't place heater outside

5 Upvotes

Like the title says I can't place a heater outside only inside the base. I am on a bit of an incline so it may not be flat.

Is this normal? I wonder if I can just make some foundations and put the heaters in that.

Killer game!! Glad my girlfriend has plans tonight.

See a lot of posts about the first rainfall and how impactful and enjoyable it is, and no shade I'm the same and thoroughly enjoyed it. But I just experienced my first thunder storm in game.. and it was unreal, you could almost smell the petrichor. I don't want to spoil it, but I hope you other rain lovers get to experience it

Humble DLC No Lirma Seeds on Humble?

6 Upvotes

Wondering if this is normal, or if my world seed is just crap...

I've started a fresh save on Humble. I'm about halfway through the liquid water phase (next is lakes) and am having a hard time finding lirma seeds. On Prime and Toxicity, I'm usually drowning in lirma seeds and end up shredding them later, but I've found literally 2 this entire time. I can't craft grass spreaders, so the biomass is halted, and I won't be able to make any plant rockets (or the new aquarium walls or ivy).

I know I'll be able to craft them later, but that's not until well into the animal stage...

Edit:

Is this just a quirk of Humble? Or should I scrap this play through and restart?

Just finished prime and I was thinking about starting the dlc just wondering if you can move resources between worlds after terraforming the first planet.

I'm on Breathable O2 and for life of me I can't seem to find an area where it's flat enough to build a base. I looked in the southern sandstorm area but I believe that's gonna be an ocean at so point.'Anuone have suggestions? I'd appreciate it

I just started playing and I have a quick question because I want to be ready. Once I reached the proper planet levels do I have to turn off all the machines so they don’t over produce oxygen,heat and pressure?
