There’s been a buttload of threads like that already. I wrote one myself. Clearly, they don’t listen to these.

@Dulki Yeah, I saw it too, of course, but I was not asking for concept arts. I’ve been drooling over the furniture concept-arts for nearly 2 years now.
I was asking for actual game-design intentions.
For instance, from the look of the preview you made, it feels like there’s gonna be several machines dedicated to cooking, several machines dedicated to weapons-making… so are these still blocks that have to be placed by groups of 4, or are they gonna be individual stations? How will spark and power factor in.
That kind of question.

That we dont know, its like the shields they said would come, no other info other that they should come in 2020

The thing that i dont get is that we can craft most of the things in those machines (not shields but the rest) using our normal machines. So why do we need them? Further enhancements? Old machines will lose their abilities to make these items? I understand you may not know this info from the game files but just wondering. Maybe a dev can tell us! :smiley:

It is possible that the models @Dulki previewed are just visual replacement for the current machines.
Maybe each of the 4 blocks composing each machines will have a new visual in order to have them all stand out better.

But I do hope that the devs are working on something more than that.
It seems very possible that we’re not gonna have the machines in groups of 4 blocks anymore, and instead, we’d have lots of individual stations for each aspects of crafting (which, when you think about it, is how pretty much every other crafting game works…).
I would hope that spark and power would have a better looking way to be attributed to machines. The current system would simply look terrible with these new 3D models. It’s already an eye-sore IMO, and as I’ve said in a previous suggestion thread, in a way, it forces the player to design his workshop pretty much like everyone else.
I tried to have a nice looking workshop with hidden powercoils in the past.


But as time went on, I felt the need to optimize it further to have max power for each machine :

I’ve recently reworked my base to have something optimized and still nice to look at.

but I could not figure out a way to also have the individual machine blocks look nice too.
Problem is… now, it’s the exact same type of machine placement everyone does. :frowning:

Bottom-line, if the devs manage with their overall to allow us to have an optimized workshop that looks pretty and where each machine block is presented in the best way possible, good job.

if it is only one block they need reinvent the coils i thinks
might be more work then just changing model
would be cool if it is like a remote control for the machine our something our they just take out the coils and put them in a inventory inside off them
but then we loose the opportunity to make evil genius mega factorys and show off our coils

You’re right that at this point it ought to be it’s own separate topic, but please don’t direct people there as this kind of conversation is even less on-topic there. That thread is intended as a quick feedback thread and not one for an ongoing discussion (despite how people already use it sometimes) to make it easy for the team to gather feedback.

Sounds good think if ya type road map in search you will find plenty discussion to go continue on I don’t care about this stuff I just play to relax and like to stay out off the discussion

Let’s be honest though, doesn’t take an awful lot to re-work a workshop or extend.

Ehmm, that totally depends on the workshop!

Have you seen my workshop? It’s massive! :smiley:


Old screenshot:

And since then I’ve added an extension on one side, another extension on the other side and since the spanner now can repair a machine + coils at the same time I could move the machines closer to each other so there are way, way more machines in there…

Having to update that workshop is gonna take some time!

Impressive!! For sure!

You might have to get digging!

I moved to my new base about a month or two ago and I hardly found (and convinced) myself of a design that looks acceptable. Having to remodel it will be a pain.
