there are certain cases that pumps aren't sending goods to factories, every time it seems to be an issue with the angle of the triangles from the pump to the factory
pumps seem a bit finicky and I would like a way to sort items through pumps. With the limited amount of work area putting two pumps next to each other pumping separate directions they still pull from each other. I don't think this interaction should happen, it makes sense it would, but I think pumps should pull from anything EXCEPT other pumps, UNLESS a pumps out is to another pump. This way it can allow for tight routing measures, sense your always working with limited space.
I think the best way to filter is a new pipe like a router, one resource goes one direction the rest goes the other and it has one input. This would be mainly for sorting the Silver from the Oxygen so you can pipe Silver to the Chip Factory and Oxygen for the Trade Platform. I know these probably are obvious ideas, it'd be a good T2 pipe tech optional next to the SI-O2 factory.
Would love to have a discussion on what is planned or already in the game. Would love to help, though my programming skills is kind of garbage.
I can see this being worth 10$ or 15$ on steam once it's polished and getting the second asteroid established doesn't feel like a juggle of unnecessary complications for the initial setup to get gold. Just kind of unintuitive right now. Research doesn't need to be made easier, just the ability to get the resources should be more accessible. Maybe get a mining drone that is a one-time use resource collector from another asteroid.
oh and finally, baddies kind of spell doom. Once they infest an asteroid what's the method to recapture it? I was just barely able to get turrets in time to only save my initial starting asteroid. A turret satellite would be pretty dope.
