@WACKYneer lvl of worker allows you to extract more valuable resources. The speed of work is affected by general labor speed

What work type does this building use? Does it get faster with Deep Drilling/Mining speeds? I haven't done any testing, but it feels painfully slow and I wanna know if its even worth sitting my Lv20 mining guy in front of it just for steel instead of a drone

@gordon519 rotation is not provided
gordon519 26 Aug @ 2:36pm 
it wont let me rotate it

@ItsDanl The reduction in work experience was not done intentionally, however, the experience gained is returned when completing the assignment now.

Is it a bug to have your colonist lose xp while mining?
free kill 23 Aug @ 7:37pm 
would you make a automated variant?

@СенпайЧан This is not a bug, your drone has a low construction skill.
СенпайЧан 22 Aug @ 6:47am 
Is it some kind of bug or their Biotech construction drones can't build this structure?
WeskerMo 21 Aug @ 11:49pm 
can you make a hardcore version? Thank you.

@FlatronWs Thank you working fine. Already researching it :D
FlatronWS  [author] 21 Aug @ 9:04am 
@FooX Yes, you can play the mid game. Make a backup in case of conflicts with any mods.
FooX 21 Aug @ 8:39am 
Can i add this mod mid game ? Or i need a new run ?

@LAFtodeath turn the interaction point? Can you explain what you mean?
LAFtodeath 21 Aug @ 1:31am 
I like this mod, I think people are confused about lava because of the picture (the background is lava).
The one request I have is to rotate the interaction spot.

Based and blessed mod

@syilumi lunari Welcome to the internet, where people who have been taught to read will not use that taught skill. Also those where English is not there first language and have an excuse.

IT SAYS GEOTHERMAL WH HOW ARE PEOPLE MISSING THIS
Akerhamius 19 Aug @ 5:16pm 
oh, it goes on geysers... i thought for a moment it was for lava, damn
Syilumi lunari 18 Aug @ 11:52am 
i mean hell you could literally extract minerals from water streams making extremely small amounts of resources, or the air, plus pressurised steam somehow must get water, water carries minerals because of erosion so yea rutranickers is like, sorta right, just irl its not viable because 1 money and 2 money
RutraNickers 18 Aug @ 5:20am 
Lava streams are rich in resources, specially heavy ones like precious metals and, depending on the type of volcano, diamonds. The lava, when it comes from the mantle, clashes with the solid parts of the crust, often carrying chunks of it to the surface. This is the process that creates diamond mines in real life. This building can easily be interpreted to be made do take advantage of this process, scraping the rubble left behind by lava streams to collect useful material.

Why are people acting like this game takes place on Earth? Not my realism in my sci fi game! Anyway this sounds great, nice mod man
TheTrueJohnMadden 17 Aug @ 11:50am 
@krn̈vr Uhhh something something using the existing geothermal vent to expedite a lot of the drilling process something something capturing and redirecting the steam to lift rubble and resources like an air blast drill something something it's high tech sci-fi stuff don't worry about it
TaterTotter 17 Aug @ 11:05am 
... a lot of people don't understand that a volcano can spew tons of minerals.. diamonds etc..

An error has been identified related to the lack of connection of a geothermal mine to an energy source. For the most optimal solution to the error, the energy consumption of the geothermal mine now has a small negative value.

idk how this makes sense
pakeru 16 Aug @ 3:53pm 
do you mean Geo-thermal?
Latex Santa 16 Aug @ 5:00am 
Oh yeah, this was basically tailor-made for volcanic maps with lots of geothermal geysers.
