When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay.

Chapter 484 Question Mark
The other party was quite polite at this time: "Hello, how are the roles allocated?"

Li Wenhao thought for a moment and said, "All are fine. You choose first."

The King of Tough Lip-service decisively chose the leader and pressed the confirm button.

"Okay, that's good too." Li Wenhao naturally chose the remaining executive.

Although the ID "King of Big Mouth" and the identity of the head of state made Li Wenhao vaguely feel a little unlucky, he did not think much about it.

After all, I am a top player. Even if there is a strongest king who is talking nonsense and holding me back, I should be able to pass the level easily without any problem.

What's more, my level is so high, the king of big talk should be conquered by me soon, right?

After both of them are ready, the game officially begins.

The initial planning is simple, it is nothing more than familiarizing yourself with the operation, finding low-level resources, mining and storing resources, and climbing the primary technology tree.

Even novice players can complete these contents well, let alone veteran players like Li Wenhao.

He first rotated the mining machine to cover as many veins as possible, and then straightened the conveyor belt and properly placed the smelter, warehouse and manufacturing machines on both sides of the conveyor belt. Mining, storage and processing, everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

The "King of Big Mouth" is also conscientiously completing his work and setting development goals.

The initial cooperation between the two could even be described as seamless.

Li Wenhao couldn't help but feel proud: "Look, look, don't judge people by their appearance, oh no, don't judge people by their ID.

"This guy has been having a great time so far, hasn't he?

"The development goals were set very reasonably, and the technologies that should be developed were not wrong. Moreover, many times, the marks he made on the map were exactly what I was thinking!"

Li Wenhao didn't know that he had already fallen into the trap.

Because this was the initial design of "Star Project".

Since the technological level is relatively low and is at the bottom of the technology tree, no matter what choice the head player makes, he will not go wrong.

In the early stages, it is nothing more than mining more resources and developing technology trees related to mining and storage. The locations of related mineral veins on the map are also clear at a glance, so it is difficult for a particularly big conflict to occur between two players.

Unless they are the kind of players who want to cause trouble and have fun right from the start, normal players will not have too many conflicts in the early stages.

When the Führer player has nothing to do, he can type or mark points on the map, but since there are only so many favorable locations for ore veins and construction, it is easy for the two to reach an agreement.

After the Führer player marked it, he found that the Archon player quickly built in that direction, so naturally he didn't say anything.

Of course, there are still areas where conflicts may arise, and that is "development indicators".

In units of 10,000 comet hours, the head player can set development indicators for the next stage, including which technology points to unlock, the output of various resources, the reserves, and so on.

If the leader player sets the goal too high, there is still a possibility of conflict between the two sides.

But there is no contradiction at this time, because the leader player is also a new player, and he doesn't know what the appropriate amount is.

If the goal is set too low and exceeded, everyone will be happy; if the goal is set too high, the head player may not necessarily think that it is the Archon's fault.

As long as the operations of the consuls are generally acceptable, the head of state player will take the initiative to take half the blame, thinking that he had overestimated when setting the indicators, so there will not be any friction.

Contradictions will only arise after the leader player has played for a period of time and has a clear understanding of technological progress and various indicators.

In short, the two people who were not familiar with the game mechanics yet spent the initial stage of the game in harmony.

Ten thousand comet hours have passed, and the technology of this comet can continue to move to the next stage.

The weather is getting colder, which can be seen very clearly from the temperature indicators.

In "Star Project", the initial temperature for players is the same, ranging from -70 degrees to -40 degrees.

In the basic setting of the game, this is a temperature that is more suitable for the survival of silicon-based life.

In fact, there are four points in the comet's entire orbit that meet this temperature range.

Therefore, there will be four different scenarios for future temperature changes.

It may be an extremely long and severe cold, a long and extremely hot period, or a brief period of cold followed by heat, or a brief period of heat followed by cold.

Estimating which range you are in based on temperature changes is itself a big pitfall in the early stages of the game.

When Shen Guang and Qiu Qinghong tried it out before, they failed here.

However, Li Wenhao and the King of Mouth were obviously lucky. They encountered the most optimistic of the four situations: a long cold winter.

This means that the comet is moving towards aphelion and will not face the problem of excessive heat until it has flown more than halfway through the comet's orbit.

Although the temperature of the comet will drop to an extremely low level during this long journey and the living environment will be equally harsh, severe cold is always better than scorching heat.

Because severe cold can be avoided through various means, including the simplest and crudest methods of digging holes, consuming fuel, building insulated dwellings, etc.

The extreme heat can only be solved with a few means such as genetic modification and advanced technology.

With long cold spells, players have plenty of time to climb the tech tree or plan genetic modifications to prepare for the heat.

On the contrary, if the comet jumps back and forth between extreme cold and extreme heat, the difficulty of the game will increase significantly.

“Let me see what the next phase is.

"Hmm? Artificial breeding? Is this right?"

When Li Wenhao saw the development goals for the next stage, he was stunned.

Obviously, he and the Führer had a clear disagreement on this goal. This was an early branch of technology selection: if artificial breeding was chosen, the number of silicon-based people could be rapidly increased.

If you choose mechanized construction, you can use some machines to replace the silicon-based figures.

Although silicon-based life is naturally close to robots, there are still obvious differences between the two: general silicon-based life cannot go out to work in extremely cold or extremely hot conditions, while robots can withstand extreme cold or extreme heat much better.

In addition, in terms of cost and scientific research difficulty, silicon-based people are obviously cheaper, while robots are more expensive.

This choice is critical, as it may directly determine the gaming experience for a period of time in the future, and may even directly affect the ending of this save.

To be on the safe side, Li Wenhao typed and asked, "Are you sure it's artificial breeding, not mechanized?"

The King of Strong Mouth: “?”

"Nima!"

Li Wenhao felt a little high on the spot. If it wasn't for the live broadcast, he would probably have been halfway through the game.

All I can say is that the show effect always comes when the host least expects it.

Li Wenhao didn't expect that the opponent would start with a classic question mark. How could you throw a royal bomb right at the beginning of a game of Landlord?

Okay, okay, you are the matched netizen, I won’t argue with you.

If interpreted seriously, this question mark has too many meanings.

For example, you don’t understand such a simple question?
Or, I am the leader and you are the executive, are you qualified to ask me?

But no matter how you interpret it, it will definitely not lead to good results.

Li Wenhao actually wanted to discuss which policy was better, because both routes had their own advantages and disadvantages.

If bred artificially, these silicon-based little people are cheap and easy to use, and the production line can be rolled out quickly in the early stages, as there is strength in numbers.

But the problem is that as the weather gets colder, in order to keep these silicon-based people working properly, more energy will have to be invested to maintain the temperature, or more shelters and heating systems will have to be built.

Even in extreme cases, these silicon-based people cannot go out at all and may become a pure burden.

What should we do then? We can’t just use all the images and use the silicon-based figures as raw materials, right?
Not to mention whether the game mechanism supports it, this thing is too inhumane.

Therefore, choosing a route is only the first step, and more long-term planning is needed later.

Corresponding arrangements must be made for other technology trees and the amount of resources to be mined, so as to ensure that the transformation is completed smoothly before some extreme situations occur.

Li Wenhao just wanted to discuss this matter, but the other party just gave him a question mark, which made him not want to say a word.

“Okay, you’re the leader, you have the final say.

"I shut up."

Li Wenhao just complained verbally and stopped typing. Since it had come to this, there was no need to escalate the conflict.

Just follow the leader's instructions.

The consuls themselves have a lot of operations to do, and if they were to argue over typing, they would only end up wasting time and energy, which would benefit no one.

Li Wenhao began to build breeding centers in batches to mass-produce silicon-based people, while also stockpiling fuel and food, that is, special minerals for these silicon-based people to eat.

After processing, they are all stored in the warehouse.

As we were playing, a question mark appeared on the map.

"?"

Li Wenhao was speechless. The map marking function of "Star Project" was quite powerful. There were dozens of marking types, both short-term and long-term.

Players don't even need to type, they can use marks to let the other party know roughly what they mean.

But this "big talker" apparently doesn't know how to use this marking system. He prefers to use these very simple symbols, such as the question mark displayed on the map.

This time Li Wenhao didn't indulge him and responded with a question mark on the spot.

"?"

The other party paused for a moment and typed, "Why did you build so many warehouses?"

Li Wenhao was speechless: "If we don't build more warehouses, where will we store the fuel and ore?"

The King of Lip-service: "We don't need to pick so many of these."

Li Wenhao: "It's getting colder and colder. Are you going to let these people freeze to death or starve to death?"

The King of Lip-service: “?
“How could they freeze to death or starve to death? The current resource output is already sufficient, and it will be sufficient even if the temperature drops in the future.

"Even if it's not enough, we can just build another batch later. Why are you doing this so early?

"You're building so many warehouses now, but you can't use them, and it will delay the start of the production line."

Li Wenhao was speechless. It was obvious that the two of them were not on the same wavelength.

If we don’t build it now, will it be too late later?

After the temperature drops, we have to hurry up and build shelters and expand the heating system. If we don’t even have enough warehouses and fuel by then, will it be in time to start expanding from the mine?

He wanted to argue, but after thinking it over carefully, he stopped typing.
