      How are we gonna change the uranium fuel unit alternate recipe so it doesn't use beacons in a way that won't break existing nuclear setups?

      So, if you guys don't know, we have beacons in the game.

      We've had beacons for a long time, and in update 6, 7, 6... Ooh, they all blend together.

      Whatever, we decided to remove them from the game and replace them with the new marker system that we have for the map.

      But there was the whole thing where you needed beacons for one of the alt recipes, so we decided to keep the item in the game, but whenever you place it, it will convert to the new marker system.

      And we kept them in the game because we felt like it would ruin too many factory layouts at the moment.

      And to be honest, the answer to that question is it will break nuclear setups, unfortunately, once we fully get rid of beacons in the game.

      But it won't break fully.

      I think there'll be some leeway for you guys to adjust your recipes somewhat easily.

      But...

      don't really have any news as to like what exact changes are coming actually this is a really good segue into the next question which is uh will you rebalance any of the recipes in the game for 1.0 and the answer is to that is yes i can't give you like exact news as to what these changes changes will be because we actually don't fully know what those changes will be

      We haven't decided all of that and then we also haven't tested the balances internally yet.

      But there's gonna be some sort of rebalance for the game at some point.

      So just so you guys are aware of that.

      The balancing changes won't break your save files in the sense that you will still be able to load your save files, but your factory layouts will have issues and stuff like that, which you will have to fix.

      I believe most of the rebalancing stuff is for the later tiers.

      So I think...

      I can't give an exact number, but like up until like the more later tiers, things will probably much stay the same.

      But yeah, the later tiers, things will change a little bit balancing wise.
