Reply to Radar Building Upgrades in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Radar is currently lacking in the level of precision that you get compared to Supcom, where you can tell if a radar contact is a land, air, naval or building. To make Radar occupy a bigger part of the game and be more of a strategic consideration, it really needs to be reworked to deliver that level of information. This is clearly what would be an amazing improvement to make, but like everything, the issue is developer time and the opportunity cost of it. Lowering the cost of

Upgrading the Radar building seems a little unnecessary when you can upgrade Radar range via Quantum upgrades, which will be reduced in price to 75 Quanta in 2.4

[quote who="MrPhalanx" reply="1" id="3684979"] Good to hear, but please focus more on the engine, the game still crashes a lot, rendering the game unplayable sometimes. Even on a full AMD rig.

I am not sure how exactly range factors into engaging air targets. I played around for a while and I noticed tripling the height of Furies made Sky Cleansers miss every shot against them and incapable of damaging them despite firing at them regularly. I realised I would need to examine and measure the performance of AA units extensively in changing this, so I have left it for now.

Reply to conKORD's imbalance pack + Claustrophobia in Ashes Modding AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I've experimented with modifying height values for planes. I tripled the height of the Fury, and the Sky Cleanser seemed completely incapable of hitting it. This no doubt effects performance of anti-air weaponry.

Oh, flocker templates (what effects movement and height for planes) is not yet supported for modding. The file in the mod folder will not be override the one in the base game. Allowing this is already done and will be a part of the 2.4 update. This is what we mean when we keep saying we are working on modding support. In the meantime, putting it in your steam directory will work, but backup your files first or prepare to validate game files when you want to go bac

Genesis Campaign Difficulty Feedback in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Hey guys. For the 2.4 update coming in August I have done some tweaks to the existing campaigns and scenarios. One thing I would like to include is standardising the difficulty settings of the Genesis campaign. I think I did a good job on making them all balanced on the Much Harder difficulty, but it's much harder to test and gauge at lower difficulties when I could breeze through them. So what I would appreciate is for everyone who has played the Genesis campaign missions to

Reply to Multiplayer Stability in Ashes Bugs and Ideas AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I almost never have problems in 1v1 2v2. But larger team games certainly are likely to have a crash. Make sure you are running DX11 instead of DX12 as it's more stable. But we are aware of the issue of stability and it's being worked on. I believe the release with Vulkan support with also help some of the stability issues.

Hey nice work, good to see other people experimenting with balance! 1. Nice idea with the slow Substrate heal, might actually implement that. 2. I think you'll find some huge balance issues caused by the changed to range. For example, if Reapers stay at the maximum attack range they are unkillable wby the short range Zeus. We're aware that the current range profiles isn't performing as we would like it, it's strange for long range units to close into medium range an
