Game Development: Under Pressure

[martinuzz]

So, in order to get the best possible pressure cookers with current rescources, you should

1) make 13 pressure cookers, with highest possible purity
2) harmonize ore x25 (or more, if stuff explodes)
3) smelt harmonized ore
4) curse, because you got no bars, and forgot to do a low purity run to single out smelters that will yield a bar on next pure run
5) harmonize high purity ore x25 (or more, if stuff blows up again)
6) smelt harmonized ore
7) harmonize clay x4 (or more) and harmonize iron
8) craft unbaked pressure cooker
9) harmonize unbaked pressure cooker
10) bake pressure cooker
11) harmonize freshly baked pressure cooker
12) repeat from 5, 12 times, until you have 13 harmonized pressure cookers
13) repeat from 1

Honestly? I'd rather watch paint dry!

any word on what happens with a catastrophic failure yet? nearby folks koed? dead? house blown up? stove blown up? cooker destroyed?

Welcome in never ending grind and permadeath mmo

Only difference a high pot makes is its quicker..

[Spazzmaticus]

Well, I fell asleep and the cooker exploded and took the branches with it to Hinnom come. Still, I got much better results at lower values than the 50% pure oats I tried earlier. It's clearly a device for early game use. I just haven't figured out how it works yet.

But doesn't that mean safer as well? Like, less time spent in the cooker to harmonize equals less chance of explosions?

[ysbryd]

Maybe, but level of instability is randomly advanced anyway, something can be in there for five hours and still be slightly... and other things one tick and kaboom.. but yeah you might be on to something

[matt3206]

I liken this patch to an unstable pressure cooker, it blew up in your face.

Surely this device is only there to make it easier to harmonize your humus/fertilizers with the seeds you have.

According to the previous update, Jorb says: Field Alchemy: The humus used to prepare fields for planting -- i.e. not fertilizers applied after planting -- now modify the purity of the crop produced. It is worth noting that the way seeds and humus modify each other is harshly biased against alchemy compositions wildly differing in purity. Seeds and humus more similar in elements will coexist much better. If you plant very pure seeds in very unpure soil, expect very unpure results.

I mean kudos to you lot for trying all sorts of different things in there, but shouldn't we focus on the mechanics behind why the pressure cooker is there in the first place ? Has anyone worked through this process yet ? ie. get humus, plant seeds that are aligned and plant seeds that are not aligned, observe results ? I'm gonna try over the weekend, but was just wondering if anyone has already.
