Full reset; everything.  What is the difference at this point.

Kitten says you are discussing resetting some players whole lives in this game.

You joke around about it????

*** serious??

Hey lets all have a laugh at the populations expense.  Awesome.

The fact of the matter is the Devs can barely see what the results of having all those gamma structures back in peoples hands is.

Unlimited resources via recycle for STC/Nebs for sure.

You cant wrap your head around what resources and time are in gamma right now.

I can explain it if you want.

If you want to have (another) full game reset topic, go ahead and do one, I won't take part in it. But in this topic it's considered offtopic.

dammit.... at least don't touch the holy-terra!

I like the idea of fluid Gammas, but Turrets should not be buffed.  EM turrets already wreck faces and tbh, single tile terraforming would make me want to not want to invest in Gamma Again, period.

Your logs only go back one year so if there is some kind of reimbursement all those who invested earlier ...uh sorry?

To reply to all of my critics that didnt read / comprehend  my post ...

* Do I agree with this for the sake of the game ? Yes it needs to happen

* I Do think the Devs should say hey guys SORRY for all that you have done but we need to re look at the mechanics and make some serious changes. 

* Will I re build HELL YES I will.

* There needs to be appropriate compensation made to players 

~ oh well at least I get to see Peyton Manning get curb stomped in a few weeks so the universe is still in balance

You would need to hard code all terrain to a maximum degree that would solve many issues. but by doing this you would need to re map all of the islands because the tile stretching ugly sheer face cliffs you hate so much are in alpha and beta islands that you designed.

make all terrain slopes max at 60 degrees that should be close to what you want ... problem is all the islands will start to look the same with different colored ground.

This is it, no really need change any terraforming, OK I understand you dont want to see ugly ingame but hell after 2 year of Gamma terraforming you decided that???

So the easiest way should be what Merkle suggest. You dont have the DEVtime for better I think, maybe later 1-2 year after. We have WAY more WORSE problems than "ugly walls"!

Ugly walls is only one of many issues inda that Zoom brought up. The current Terra forming mechanics we have right now are way to powerful to be given into the hands of players. 2 years to address this issues is to long but were here now & the Devs have finally pulled their finger out & are fixing what should have been fixed back when Gamma first came out on the test server.

I can even still link the thread where TFing was talked about lol on the Test server forums

Also a few other things i think that are worth considering:
1.
Some posts have talked about dropping the Island Terminal cap. Can i propose another idea (only new idea )
Why not have a minimum distance between terminals? this would then allow the cap on Islands to be different due to Island shape / Good or bad player planning. This will create another factor in giving islands varying Appeal.

2.
Movement around a Gamma island.
With Telleports now being open for roamers any one who lives on a Gamma will be at a disadvantage for moving around a island between different player built bases. Unlike Beta 2 islands there arnt any High ways to help you along between destinations. And unlike Beta 1 & 2 you dont have internal TP networks either.

So Devs please consider this whether you do anything about it now or in the near future.

Ill never stop asking for player built High ways

Infact with the proposed changes & addition of maybe CPU & Grid this could be a good way to balance player Made highways. Make them require lots of Grid.
Or maybe have it so each terminal has a separate points system (depending on the Tech level of the station) that is the factor on the Length of Highways connected to it.
But make it the HWYs can be used by any one no matter standings & that they cant be damaged unless the station they are connected to is destroyed or w/e.

Just an idea

Turrets hit too *** hard as is.
