Love the proposed updates and looking forward to re-building! Any chance for a voxel copy size increase or increase to the basic voxel tools (square, sphere, cone, etc) max size - that would be a lot easier to make if some of the tools we have could just go about....10 notches bigger I'm looking to put down half dome buildings the size of an M Core-L Core widths. The tools- as powerful as they are sometimes feel like they could use a little boost.

This post was confusing, it kind of sounds like the left/right hands of development aren't on the same page. Is this essentially saying, they're making 'core' schems and you have to print a consumable copy to run an industry - So now I have an additional possible reason to troubleshoot all the industry when they turn off? PLEASE NO What happens to current schematics, and factories running them? Are schematic locations affected again? Some of the lower tier items can't be bought on alioth, sanctuary or haven, You have to go to at least Madis to find some BASIC ITEMS! Because of this people would stock up on schematics and overcharge those back on Alioth who couldn't be bothered (or have the capability) to warp there real quick. How will this benefit longtime/existing players? Cause it sounds like it isn't going to reward the hundreds of millions (billions) of quanta people have already spent to specialize in an industry or like me, dabble in a little of everything. If I have the cash, and want to purchase anything NOW, I'm not going to wait for a schematic to cook up in some queue. We already have a talent system that limits people that way. We literally just had a talent reset, it was unexpected and it took me hours of taking screenshots of every skill page, then referencing those each again took hours more to restore post-wipe. This update would most certainly require another talent wipe. This update still does nothing to address the huge problem of the economy: theres no current way to show interest in buying certain items without a 100% deposit as a buy order. The Quanta just sits there and I have no way of knowing if/when the order will get filled. The bot-linked ores in the market have crashed the prices, now theres no incentive to have large hauls from planets because people just sell ores to the local market bot. This means no ones paying to have anything hauled and they don't need to move it themselves. I used to have T1-T4 mining units on various planets and have since gotten rid of all of them and moved just to a giant T1 plot on alioth because its easier to make a profit and manage. The mission system was just butchered, so options for earning quanta are extremely limited. We've been seeing changes coming with regards to markets, the exchange, talk of recycling items down to lesser components, talk of wipes .... and I get it, clearly the devs are trying to take the next best step forward. So please lets have the step actually move forward. Everything this post made me think is that I've wasted time/quanta earning schematics, so now I will lose that investment in favor of another mini-game that doesn't address the bigger issues. I've been around since before schematics were put in and STILL recovering from the damage it did but after the dust settled and people adapted it wasn't THAT bad of a change but it came at a point in the game that seemed oddly late, was not thought out well enough, and HAD TONS OF ISSUES like disappearing randomly or having the value mistakenly altered giving some players a HUGE advantage over others. Honestly the only changes to them i want to see at this point: Cheaper. Some items and tiers are just so outrageously expensive that you're broke before you ever consider building anything you actually plan to put any time into. Duplicates: ya its kinda lame having to buy more of the same schematic so a system where you have a core schem create copies would be nice. Maybe some of the lower stuff, decorations, etc re-added to nanocrafter. More quality of life improvements please, not a tedious step backwards.

So I ran my Assembly M last night before bed and without realizing it had the output still set to a an XS container. This morning as I log in Assembly M is jammed awaiting output so....How the heck does someone unlink their containers and redefine their input/outputs? FIXED: Theres no mention in the codex - but to remove links you have to right click the arrow'ed path in link mode and click to "remove link".
