Do Biters and worms spread?

Hi,

Just a quick question, do biters and worms spread as the game progresses? Do they always spread closer to your location, or just an any direction? Also do the Biters spawn bases increase in size?

Thanks!!

Re: Problem with hydrocarbons and plastic!!

Hi SilverWarior, Thanks for the reply. I was using both the Light and heavy oils for solid fuel. There was no backups as I regularly emptied the chests before they were full. What I tried was, I moved the light oil Chemical plant further away, and reset it again for solid fuel. This seemed to fix th...

Re: Problem with hydrocarbons and plastic!!

I just turned off the 2 other refineries, same thing, it does not seem the be the problem. I notice that when I plug the pipe into the Chem Plant, the hydrocarbon shoots to 50, then it slowly drops down to to around 2.2, then to 0.2 and it hovers between the two, moving very slowly. I notice that th...

Problem with hydrocarbons and plastic!!

Hi, Something weird happened to the plastic production. When I first started it, it was pumping out plastic quickly and I was able to keep 4 Advanced Circuit assemblers fully loaded with a large backup of plastic. A while later, the plastic almost dried up. I noticed the pipe that had the pinkish co...

Re: Totally lost with oil & fuel production! Please help!

HAHAH! Not that worthy, just precious time!! The problem I had was I didnt know the refinery and lab had a menu like the assemblers, I thought when you plugged the oil in, it would do its thing. I realized about the menu later on, and from there it was easy! Hopefully as more players contribute the ...

Re: Alien science pack y do we ned them?!

Good arguments either way, I think some way to still win with out having to kill hoards of aliens would be nice, although that might be a challenge to do. I do like the building and logistics, I just hate it when they come in and tear all that hard work apart. I usually play peaceful and very low al...

Re: How to cheating in the game

Why cheat if you can setup game in the start? Because we can. :D Dynamic change game sandbox is fun. HAHAH!! Thats always the right reason!! :lol: There is really no reason or need to cheat, being able to create your own maps and rules goes far beyond any kinds of cheats that might be available!! I...

Question about steam energy production

Hi All, I was wondering which way is the best to get the most productivity out of the steam engines. I watched some videos and most people seem to set up with the pump, then place the boilers right on that, then add the water pipes to the steam engines. I set it up where after the pump, I placed the...

Re: Totally lost with oil & fuel production! Please help!

I spent some time on the wiki, but it never gave any clear illustration as to how the system worked. I also spent a lot of time searching the forums, doing all kinds of google searches, and finally watching many of the latest YouTube videos trying to catch a glimpse of someone setting it up. I foun...

Re: What to do with light oil?

Hello, I will try to answer all the questions here: It is possible that we went too far with the intermediate products, but we enjoyed the game this way and this is some kind of first attempt, if most of the people feel that it is too complicated we can dumb it down a little. The only usage for lig...

Re: What to do with light oil?

Hey can you answer some other questions? like, what is the pump for and how does the oil production drop work? Used the Refinery and the Chem plant like an assembler, when you plug in the crude, you click on it to choose what you want to make. Its really fairly simple once your see how it works. Th...

Re: Totally lost with oil & fuel production! Please help!

Did you select the recipe on the oil refinery? Also to any developers reading this: maybe oil should be an optional thing - if you use it you need less of the other resources, but you don't have to use it. This was one of the options we have considered. But in the end the decision was to make it a ...

Re: Totally lost with oil & fuel production! Please help!

No, thats not what happened, there is nothing being produced! I have the oil from the Pumpjack plugged into the refinery, but nothing is happening! What do I do next?

Is there any kind of tutorial on oil processing that shows the steps to product the fluids?
