[New Foundry Block]

Yes, but none of those have a second block that does something so similar that it leaves you wondering why there are two of them.

 

Again, it makes more sense to just give this property to the existing assembly blocks than creating a whole new block for it.

Yes, there is... If you look at my enumeration, I mentioned the cloning pods and the academy... These could be put together into one crew production block. So why not have two or more blocks for production?

Well, because you are asking for a whole new block type for 1 purpose when we already have something that would be suitable for the role.  If we didn’t already have something that would be appropriate for this, then I’d be on board, but we do, so I just see it as bloat.

There are already quite some blocks that only serve one purpose, like the transporter block, the academy block or the cloning vats. Or one of the more undesirable blocks, the computer block. I see no reason why this is a problem for us players.

Then the request should be to have resource depots actually require assembly blocks rather than creating a whole new block specifically for that station type, yes?

One could also make the assembly block do what the suggested foundry block would be able to do, but why not introduce a new block type? Furthermore, the new block wouldn't just be for that one station type, but also for ships to process ores and scrap in place and I think that would be a great feature.

A torpedo factory that is similar to the turret factory would be great, too.

That resource depots don't need assembly blocks... They actually don't need anything, you can build a resource depot that's just a stone cube. It would actually be nice if resource depots would need foundry blocks to work. I think that would be a really  nice addition to the game.

So, a refining block?  What would be the point behind resource stations then?

Ah, thank you!

I actually searched for a thread like that, but since I didn't find any, I posted one.

I'll vote for it right away!

Hello there,

A financial overview would be really nice. Something like an account balance in the player menu. Maybe for resources too that would be awesome.

So you can see you can see how much credits or resources were earned in which way and what things cost which amount of money/resources. For example, a "stations" category in which you would be able to see how much your stations earn you and how much they cost you.

And maybe an option to manually or automatically update the balance sheet.
