All my helium gets used up by my helium generator, which keeps my oxygen systems working (which generates more helium, so it's almost self-sustaining), but I managed to find a sweet spot with water cooling where it doesn't freeze (using automation and pipe temp sensors). However, my base hit a new crisis -- my hatch farm couldn't keep up with the demand for coal, so my coal furnaces ran dry and I've had to hastily install a petroleum generator and deal with it's waste products.

My poor base is falling apart. :c

Reminds me of Scorched Tanks for the Amiga. That had some ridiculous weapons too.

For me the game should be renamed "Coolant not included". I've got oxygen coming out of the wazzoo, but managing heat has become a real priority. Probably doesn't help that my base is built on a cool steam pipe, but I'm not having much luck with insulation, water cooling, wheeze worts and ice fans. :(

Still damn fun though.

Just picked it up today. Love Sam's store of useless items completely useless trinkets, lots of easter eggs to be had there.

Nice! I'll pick this up for the Linux First initiative alone. :D

Interestingly, there is already a "SpaceMerc" game, and it is also on Linux. It doesn't look like the two are related though.

Quoting: BeamboomJust do it, just for fun. What did you end up with?

A load of tech I don't want, and a big hole in my bank account. :P

Al least the monitors would be usable for day-to-day activities though.

Quoting: Liamthe entire kit will go for £919

Yeah, no thanks. I still remain unconvinced that this VR hype is anything more than a passing fad, I'm certainly not willing to splash that sort of cash on dedicated hardware to play VR games.

Don't worry, we bought a barbecue this weekend, so Second Winter will arrive in the UK shortly.

I wonder if this update pushes out the updated steam web helper shared objects which break the webhelper on non-debian systems...

I liked the old job system, but I'll adapt. Looks like I'll have to research lots of medicine tech to keep up with the germs change.
