    Could it be possible to write how many nodes there are of each material in the different game modes?

    A bit trickier, actually, because ultimately we don't want the game to be fully brickable, as in just non-completable.

    We could put limiters there as well, or we could let people break the game if you want to, but there are also some small technical implications as to why manually messing around with

    yeah even if node placement would be the same on the map and just altering if they're all say all of them are quartz or whatever catherium um there is still that would still be direct map meddling on a level controllable by the user which user which would make us or which would have you

    us make uh pretty significant edits in the back end for the map so not anytime soon and most likely not happening at all unless people care for it hard will there ever be planes oh i don't think so qe site but i don't think so

    Can we get some info in the game notes page about node counts in the different randomized settings?

    E.g.

    fossil fuel has X coal, Y iron, etc.

    I'm trying to recall the exact wording of the reason we don't show exact node count on the randomizer settings page already.

    I think there is stuff, it has something to do with there being leeway in if you use advanced or fossil or full random at that.

    There is leeway in how much of what is being spawned, with the hopefully working guarantee that the game should always be completable, but the numbers can still fluctuate a bit.

    It's just the number of nodes on the map remain the same.

    And to have that be more of a surprise slash shock value as you boot into the game, I don't think we are down to show any hard numbers on that page, no.

    That's a bad answer for me, a very poorly worded answer, but there are reasons.

    that we don't show hard numbers.

    Let me try, I should have R claimed that, fuck, I'm gonna forget till next week.

    If I don't forget, I'm gonna chase that as well, the explanation and have it at hand.
