but they are still just PUZZLES like the ones at miller world inc. Those puzzles can be incorporated into a mystery, adventure, etc. You wouldn't, necessarily, even have to be playing the game at the time to solve the puzzle. A true Puzzle Game just gives you a puzzle that can be LOGICALLY solved. A Puzzle Game just gives you a puzzle to solve. A Puzzle Game, on the other hand, is just that.A Puzzle Game.<need fine control over our selections. People have been talking about volume selection, too, but in a complicated factory I'm not so sure how useful that will be. The best thing I've thought of is to give us a 'select' key, say Alt, and while holding it down we can add or remove blocks from a selection, by clicking individual blocks or dragging lines. I agree, and I've been thinking about good ways to give us control over what's welded and what isn't. Now, there's no easy way to fix this behavior, while keeping things intuitive, but I think it'd be pretty neat to have some sort of overlay to allow us to see all the welds in a factory, and allow one to modify where a weld exists or not - would be far more efficient than the Tetris stacks I've been making and would allow my footprint to not be so artificially increased from my shenanigans. However, this behavior of pushers not working in its simplest case does much to stymie player use of it. Everything is given by pictures, and the finer details are left to players to find out and better understand. There's no text-based instruction in Infinifactory. Want two pushers that are right next to each other to independently work on different blocks? Your Tetris stack just got rather complex, carefully putting pieces in place as you hope everything gets in place before your little machine has to respond to incoming blocks. Make your pushing apparatus float in the air, and fall into place, like some Tetris piece, and your problem can be solved. There, are, of course, workarounds to this. The simplest way to generate this unique behavior does not work! Place a pusher on the ground, and attach a platform to it, and it won't work, since the platform would be welded to the ground. These two things are going to happen very often. That's because there's two reasons why a pusher will not push: The blocks to be pushed are attached to the ground, or the blocks to be pushed will also push the pusher. Before we even knew that we wanted to create a writing system for the aliens, the concepting process yielded the following badge, which I immediately adored: The concept that inspired the. Yet, whenever one does this, you'll find it often doesn't work. Much of the identify of Infinifactory’s alien overlords is communicated by their clothing: formal, alien, and vaguely militaristic. Pretty useful behavior, allowing one to swap a block for a conveyor, or maybe to move a sensor to a different location. You see, if a block is welded to the pushing face of the pusher, that block is now 'stuck' to the pusher and now, it and any block it is also welded it, will move with the activation of the pushers. Welds are also primary to how pushers work. It's pretty useful behavior, allowing you to dynamically move your welders or something similarly innovative. There is an exception to this rule though: Blocks are not welded to the tops of 'movement' blocks. This means that the block is now inextricably binded to the the ground and blocks around it.Īll well and good, since you want your blocks be connected to one another, and don't want unexpected behavior from your blocks. You place a block, and it is going to form a weld to any block adjacent to it (with exceptions).
