Big Loopy Spaceship Thingie? | Planet Crafter | Let's Play! | Ep 15 

quill please don't discount your rockets, they can help you in a few ways giving you a permanent 1000% multiplier to your heat/pressure/O2 but also one of them attract a meteor that will help with your uranium problem. and i think you are thinking to Rimworld for this one lol you don't need to be so frugal with everything.

32:25 Quill discovers that Planet Crafter's units make no sense with real world applications

@17:00 I really want that blueprint chip, but food is low... as he looks at food in the box. Quill, never change, you are brilliant, but not always observant.

16:35 haha, you're not even CLOSE to exploring everything

Unless he's been upgrading stuff offscreen the three Flower Spreaders that already existed were Tier 1, not Tier 2. If he upgraded those all to T2, added the Oxygen fuse, and finally rediscovered the Rockets, then his O2 would be (literally) skyrocketing.

MOAR ROCKETS, and explore please quill, the game is a lot more interesting with exploration, and would be better to watch!

Yes, there's a ton to explore, you haven't even found the "main plot" yet. Also it's not entirely clear in game from what I recall, but the big ring is a crashed jump gate for space travel

Will he ever upgrade his torch chip?

mmm, i need food... opens a container containing food and says, I don't have any space left.........

This is an increasingly rough watch, though i am still watching it. Please launch rockets, use your oxygen multiplier fuse, get uranium from rockets, and for the love of bees, don't go AFK! This isn't that kind of game!

Hey Quill, I think the terraformation information is a change in value! So you've increased the whole planet's temp by 100 micro kelvin... with the earth having dramatic changes in weather from just 1 or 2 degrees in temperature it makes sense that eventually you will be changing the whole planet by several degrees to make it habitable :P

The next level of heat unlock is less than 110 minutes away. So not as far off as Quill thinks.

I thought you unlocked a T2 flashlight no? I think you are still using the original.

It's special space ice! Possibly unique to this planet, don't worry about it.

The progression is completely depending on the TI and the TI is just the sum of all contributing factor. About the ice vanishing. It can sublimate and this highly dependent on pressure, not just temperature.

I think the temperature rating is how much the average temperature has changed rather than an absolute value. It'd still be cold out there, but winter cold rather than void of space cold.

You have the machine optimizer and oxygen fuse...you can quintuple your entire oxygen generation just with that...but sure, just go back to the deathloop I guess, hehehe.

you should make a unarum rocket to attract uranium asteroids

Quill - "This is not going to be super exciting." Me on the edge of my seat super excited.

It’s so interesting - I’ve played this game totally different to you! I’m. It as far in my terraforming but have explored more of the world it seems. I don’t have access to all of the caves, but I know they are there. I don’t have rockets. I don’t have a map. But that was fun.

I think there's no + next to the Oxygen because it is the actual absolute value of the O2 in the atmosphere which started at 0 whereas the others have a + and are smaller than they realistically should be because the planet started with some and it's just measuring what you have added to the planet, so presumably since you only needed to add a tiny bit to add water it was already close to the melting point, and similarly there was already a bit of atmosphere and such which maybe was what made the planet a good terraforming candidate? That's how I justify it anyway.

from an irl perspective Quill, pls remember that the planet you are on, started with low temp, low atmospheric pressure and no oxygen. At low atm pressure, water has lower freezing and boiling points, so don't use Earth's references, they won't apply. Would it be impossible right now, to get your hands on a Uranium rod and try to see if you can activate a ship reactor and find out what happens when you do?

and don't forget the caves, as there are so many of them and you can clear out old mining rig ore storage as well.

1:33 titanium, aluminum, super alloy, and an iridium rod fall forgotten to the ground. RIP those resources. 3:03 the fallen resources are visible on the ground 16:49 Quill could have eaten space food out of this box to open a slot for swapping items around.

@Quill18 The temperature at which water melts varies by atmospheric temperature, for example it will boil at room temperature in a vacuum.

Hi Quill. You can make lots of beacons now you have sorted your aluminium, and you can actually label beacons, not just colour them. Useful for marking bases and landmarks like rocks that need explosives to clear and rare mineral caves.

Really love watching you play this! Thanks for keeping it coming!

You really should pay attention to meteor falls, sometimes it's super alloy. p.s. the t2 flash light is super helpful

how i interpret the heat is uK above the planet's natural temperature and oxygen doesn't have + because it's first thing on the board, it's oxygen + heat + pressure + biomass = teraformation score

The way I understand it, the various measurements like the "temperature" one isn't absolute, but rather it's an increase in relation to the baseline of the planet when you got there to start your terraformation process. Or so it was explained once upon a time.

OMG you are driving me crazy Quill. You are missing so much of the game by just AFKing through it. Go explore and then reexplore, the world is constantly changing as the TI goes up.

Terraforming numbers is weird, you can leave out any one of the four. I didn't do pressure for the longest time as didn't need any of it's tech. So I had stuff growing with like a vacuum planet heh. It's kind of fun though, as you can use advanced pressure tech then (and a lot of if after exploring and getting multiplies etc.) and have it go up at a massive rate.

There is more to explore than ships out there. There are caves and secret nooks all over the place that are not on the map, but you can only see when your out there ;-)

The measurements are a delta, you've increased the temperature by X Kelvin.

@34:00 So, logically, the bottom number is the rate of accrual, and the top number is total accrued. unit of measure on the bottom number is constant, but the top changes as the total accrued gets bigger, and would be unreadable in smaller units.

17:01 blind as a bat quill, overlooks the space food in the crate.

Temp of water freeze is at one atmosphere of pressure. At lower pressure, it is a different value.

finally quill discovered the space thingy all the comments were screaming at him about! (joking i wrote this before watching, based on the title alone.)

I think that the heat index is how much you have increased the temperature, the difference from the base level of the planet. And two Kelvins, which I suppose it 2 degrees, is enough to significantly change Earth ecosystem, so maybe 3nK is significant

FYI.. the basic multiplier works on 5 stations, the improved does 8

1:10 in, and Hallelujah!

32:01 what if the device is registering the heat level of the entire planet and not only the part your in. so while in your "small" area is nice an warm, on the other side it is still icy cold and likely every where else.

Like you mentioned before, quill, the temperature measured in micro Kelvin made sense when first starting out but as ou are now in the, lets say, "mega micro kelvins"... it should switch to C or F. But yeah, 1 K is AFAIK minus 273 C or whatever in F.But yeah liquid water would be 273 K not 100 and change MIRCO K. Easy to fix for the developer though.

I'd think the + indicates that the number is a delta to a base. Eg 150 mK added on top of 250 K base temperature

terra forming on a shoestring, never goes well

I would say there is a plus near the number of temperature because that would be "Above natural start baseline". The oxygen has no plus because that is the actual absolute number. Don't know, but it sounds good.

I've been wondering about how there could be liquid water when the temp is

Did you ever upgrade to Torch2 for better lighting?

About time you figure out aluminum, lolol. JK keep it up, good going.

Hi Martin! I wish episodes came out more often.

30:00 and Quill has noticed that the game's units make no sense, even if generously interpreted as the change from the starting baseline, and not the directly measured value. (Ie his thermometer doesn't read 100uK and instead reads -15°C plus 100uK) The machines enacting relatively small changes to the planet makes perfect sense, emitting 1kg of pure O2 per second is almost nothing to an atmosphere of about 5×10^18 kg. This is why terraforming planets is such an impossible dream, the amount of material needed is insane. The breakpoints of change however don't make much sense, the changes so far are barely even noticable against the normal background variations. And yet he has put lakes on Mars. Obviously this is done for game design reasons, IRL accurate terraforming is incredibly slow and expensive. Its the same reason you can turn a kg of hematite you found on the ground into a fully functional windmill with wireless power to everything.

Quill, the planet started with ZERO free oxygen, based on the screen readings... Whereas for pressure and temperature, you are adding TO the already existing pressure and temperature (the actual starting temperature and pressure are not listed). Thus the "+" beside them... although one could be added to the oxygen level as well, but obviously the game developers did not think so.

It's energy over volume, not temperature; clearly though from the unlocks you are behind on heat.

rockets are the solution to everything

18:00 YES! Why didn't you grab the TWO obsidian, a new thing you'd never found and would definitely need in the future (which we know because it's in the game)! gah!

Cohh - don't try to make sense of the units here for ANY kind of real world stuff. Micro is .000001. So the units here make no sense to reality. As well you can't go over and get to hot, to much pressure, etc. For a more realistic terraforming experience - with expected frustration and ability to go over...see Terragenesis. Love to see you play this game.

21:33 uh oh... :)

Quill does not realise that you do not need a torch in daytime. Please turn it off when not needed it's killing me😊

I really wish this was streamed so people could yell at him to pay attention..

FINALLY you got one of the gold box!!!!

YAY HE FOUND TEH ALUMIMUM!

I haven't played the game, but the temperature doesn't make sense (that's colder than space). It has to be the amount of warming. With climate change on earth, we are hoping to limit warming to just 2 kelvin; raising the average temperature by 4 K would be pretty disastrous. In the game, it has to be that there is a baseline temperature, and the "warming" display shows how much you've raised the average. It's the only thing that makes sense...

32 seconds find!

Not sure if I should be on team suicide and miss content or team explore.

The numbers are made up and dont matter, and thats fine. They dont make sense as true vaules or deltas, and thats also fine. The numbers exist to quantify the game mechanics, not to be accurate. The average pressure on the moon goes from 300 pPa to 40 pPa, as the lunar night turns to lunar day. That's low enough that air resistance is essentially nil; anything you drop, including feathers, parachutes or even dust, will fall at the same rate as a block of steel. That's too low for liquid water, which only forms at and above ~611 Pa, a trillion times denser, irrespective of temperature. If the planet starts out above 600 Pa, allowing for liquid water at 273K, and the end goal is ~100 kPa (1 atm), then Quill is 0% of the way there. Speaking of temperature, due to its relative lack of atmosphere, the moon has a "daily" (lunar day) differental of ~360K. Without an appreciable atmosphere to spread the heat around, it doesnt even make sense to think of the moon as having an "average" surface temperature. Just the energy of the sun hitting the surface heats the nightime lows of 140K (leathally cold) to 400K (deadly hot for an environment, but possibly colder than your kitchen oven's lowest setting). Then the sun sets again, and the extra heat gets radiated into space. Never mind that the in-game planet is manifestly tectonically active, and there is molten rock on the surface. Like Earth, the in-game planet is a molten ball of rock with a thin, solid skin floating on the surface. The idea that the surface could start arbitrarily close to 0K is nonsense. So all the heating Quill has done is literally immeasurably small compared to the daily fluctuations the planet would have experienced from its sun and its own core. None of this is a problem for the game. Its a game about one person terraforming an entire planet in weeks with a magic gun, so its compelety fine that the numbers are made up and dont matter. Suspension of disbelief is a thing. The scientific inaccuracy of the numbers in no way makes the game worse, so we can all stop with the apologism.

judging by continuing to check on his progress, he doesn't check these comments

You have explored less that 30% at this point. Go explore.

THE AMOUNT OF SHITTY AFK'ING RATHER THAN SENDING MORE ROCKETS IS DRIVING ME INSANE. IM DONE WITH THIS SERIES JFC.
