It was like running into a wall made of hardened 'what the fk is this nonsense'. Originally posted by ZomBri_BrainZ:I was super excited to get this game, but dang that excitement was shattered when I learned that all the machines require water to operate. Now, whether or not you think that's a good direction for the game is another story, but this is how the game is currently. Most of the time, I can just have half of my machines sitting there doing nothing. I did 2 commissions everyday as soon as I could and did the big projects within a day or two. You'll end up spending so much on water/fuel, and there's really nothing that needs that much resources. It's just not feasible to have a massive factory going in this game.

You'd be amazed at how much you get, and it's stuff that you'd normally have to process in another machine. I never had to wait more than a day for things to be built.ģ. I had 2 furnaces, 1 processor, 2 grinders, 2 recyclers, etc. In the final season I have over 200 water just sitting around.Ģ. He'll sell between 5 - 25 units of water for around 50 gol/5 units. Buy all the cheap water from Burgess everyday. I did a couple of things to make water a non-issue.ġ. Anyways I'm just venting, I'll probably come back in 6 months or so to see if anything changed. Haven't touched the game since my 'are you f'n kidding me right now' moment. I guess I should have done more research on the game instead of letting my absolute adoration of My Time at Portia drive my decision to buy into early access. But why can't the water issues be strictly about farming, animal husbandry, and personal hydration requirements? Why does this have to nonsensically extend to the operation of machines? Maybe it is an unpopular opinion but I think the water system as it is, is beyond stupid. I'm seriously supposed to believe that water, the most precious resource in the desert, is somehow absolutely necessary for operating machines? Who came up with this nonsense? I mean ok I get that you guys want to add some difficulty to the overall mechanics. Its probably the most unpopular opinion among the fans but dang. I was super excited to get this game, but dang that excitement was shattered when I learned that all the machines require water to operate.
