LOVED this mod. Best new planet I've played so far.
- Strong primary mechanic (AI cores)
- Strong secondary mechanics that support it well (mixed mining with neodymium twist, molten iron, webbed compute networks)
- A theme that ties it all together.
- Fantastic map, art assets, and music.
- Fun bonus items (that admittedly I haven't used yet)
- Achievements! Nice touch.
Feedback
- Solved equations/compute web was only used for long stack inserter research. Felt like unexplored territory.
- 10 levels of AI was maaaybe a couple too many, but it did force me to properly automate a solution that "just worked" whenever a new tier was unlocked.
- Perhaps this was exacerbated by there not really being a payoff? The researches themselves all took about the same amount of time once new AI core speed up was factored in, and then they kind of just existed for their own sake. I don't really know what I'd do about this - feels like AI cores themselves could easily break basically any other system. Maybe a simple fix would be to move one of the unique items so it is the final unlock? (OR maybe this is actually social commentary on AI for the sake of AI lol)
- Might be just me but the discord link doesn't work for me, hence posting here.
