Another overnighter, the game is pleasantly stable despite all the shooty-shooty going on.
After 34 hours of aggroing the Planetary Base - in Passive mode, at 10x XP gain for the Dark Fog - it has hit Level 24 and is dropping all the Dark Fog items that it can drop. It appears to need about 30 hours of combat to reach L24 on these settings - I expect that players who want the new toys without the full combat will either go this route or dummy mode.
Note that even on passive mode there is a performance hit. From the start of the game what would have been 60fps on my rig has been consistently below 50fps. Tradeoffs.
I have reconfigured the Dark Fog Sorter blueprints - now they feed in at the top right and can be daisy-chained in a large S-loop. Shorter belt connections and no belt contention inside the loop - if the player prefers belts over logistics bots.
As you can see there is a reasonably impressive amount of accumulated loot. I will give it a quick breakdown in another video later.
