| There's a known bug where some machines, mine included, the water pipe network logic gets borked and high-level buildings that need liquid inputs stop getting fed.
And yet... I don't know that a patch is gonna fix things, at least as far as what I'm looking for. I stick by my earlier statement that this game is more Terraria than Factorio, in many ways the sci-fi Terraria Starbound tried and failed to be. The problem is it's not until pretty deep into the tech tree that dead enemies start coughing up useful resources and modifiers and I can easily imagine new players quitting in frustration. But once you've got the metal detector and bioscanner I was having a grand old time. It's the actual tower defense. It's the same problem I had with "They are Billions." There's no mazing. Monsters beeline for your base center and attack whatever's closest. So tower placement is less about taking advantage of high ground or a good chokepoint but instead about putting up an even distribution of diverse towers with firing arcs intersecting enough to let nothing slip past. That maybe wouldn't have been a deal-killer for me, but there's already a game called "Rise to Ruins" that DOES have a heavy focus on mazing enemy swarms that does Riftbreaker's core base defense gameplay so much better! (And of course, because Rise to Ruins plays so well it has to have ass graphics.) Back to X-Morph Defense for me! |
