Awesome episode again man! I think you need to set up remote power, and shoot the power into the stargate? (saw this somewhere!) here's some Challenge suggestions: - Make a planet train as long as possible, and to end it, fly through a black hole while being at the end so you see everything being eaten up by the black hole! - Make a warehouse of EVERY item of the game! (lol, obviously this would be cut scene episodes) - Cut a planet in half all the way - Build rockets on a planet and fly it away (still haven't tried this myself haha) - Sandbox mode; build the biggest spaceship/space station purely based on looks. - See how many "colonies" you can build left on planets mining stuff.
Haha! Very creative ideas brother! How cool is it to live in a time that let's us have these games that tickle our creativeness rigth? I do think I'm a better colleague because of that at work for my coworkers. I even think that some of them could be more creative if they would try these kind of games rigth? Your thoughts please... ;-) Jake.
@@JakeSimmer I do agree with you on that one, but not only for gaming, I think people who learn new things, like language learning, or picking up a new hobby where they do need to learn new things make people more creative and think more outside of the box, which can absolutely help in day to day tasks and being more helpful in general!
you have to use "select blackhole" from the remote constructor to power the gate, then you can activate it and travel through it. however, only you are able to pass through. your ship will not go with you.
You need to power the stargate with a power transmitter, then open the stargate UI with the F key to go through. It still has bugs though when you go through.
Ok, just found out you cannot take your ship yet with you thru the stargate. That is still yet to come. Maybe best to wait with the play of the game once that is installed.
Thanks! I've been keeping an eye on Astro Colony and would love to do another let's play. This update seems to include mostly new decorative blocks and things. I'm guessing what's next will be more improvements to multiplayer, since people seem to be asking for that quite a bit. I'm hoping we'll see an update with more content (i.e. more production chains and things to do) before too long.
@@Glidercat I expect more and deeper content as well sometime in the near future. Think more content will come in the way of things to do on the other side of the portals. At least the new items that they just done will help in design work of the building of the space craft and base. Should be interesting.
am not sure if you can come back to the old galaxy or not, which would be cool if you can or otherwise you will need to mine it out before leaving.Cannot wait to see that if so this can be a good long game from what have seen. You pass through I do know there are other black holes. Have seen it on other play throughs.

I didn't know the stargate needed to be powered. I'll guess I'll leave that for next time.
Those are great challenge ideas! 👍

If you have 3 fabricators each expedition costs 3 x expedition cost. Each frabricator is 1 expedition.

I see. I had no idea.
@@Glidercat yea, that part is confusing.
I'd like to see you go back to test features that weren't yet implemented when you first got to them or may have been changed
That's a common issue with featuring early games on RUclips. You tend to catch issues that later get fixed.
Yes you have to power up the stargate but you can only send shuttle through as of right now.
I definitely need to try that out in my next playthrough. 👍
You need to power the stargate with a power transmitter, then open the stargate UI with the F key to go through. It still has bugs though when you go through.
I see. I think I'm going to save that for another playthrough.

I'm thinking of leaving the Stargate for a new playthrough once the game has had a bunch more updates in Early Access.
Just to let you know this game just got its first big update today. May want to check it out. Might be great for a season 3 ?

You can now electricity through docking ports as
of 12/12/2022
Challenge idea make a sustainable colony of astronauts of Like 50
That sounds cool! You'd definitely need more farms, rest pods, water production, etc., which would make that fun. 👍
Dont you need to power the gate with energy transmission?
I didn't know or see anything about them requiring power, but that sounds likely.
Need power and also need to be close to the black hole
also as you go further that the resources gets a little harder as you go.
@@glennswain490 Interesting. I did not know that.
@@Glidercat Then stargate must be close to the black hole and ship needs to be somewhat close to the stargate to transmit the power.

@@glennswain490 Ahh... that makes sense.
