You can make high tier research stuff though the circuit imprinter

Post by TheSpoonyCroy » 05 Apr 2016, 18:00

Bug Description:By going through the circuit imprinter to print things that require silver since silver isn't allowed in the circuit imprinter to print high tier parts. So I was allowed to print things like Phasic scanning modules or subspace ansible since they only require metal, glass, and silver

Note: found out that it also can make things that require metal which also isn't accepted in the circuit imprinter
Note: so this seems to be a repost and I'm sorry I guess. So I guess closed since the staff already knows


Steps to reproduce:
1.Get research levels to a high level
2.Put metal and glass into the circuit imprinter
3.Print high level things without the needed silver

Dupe

And it happens with any material(silver,diamond,gold,etc)

Actually I don't think so since I can't print things that would require gold, diamonds, or uranium without the proper materials

Yes, you can print some things that require silver putting it in the circuit imprimer, but, those things that you can print can only be used to max R&D, (only component here that upgrades how the machine works is the matter bins, all other components work like the older version of it) with a few exceptions like this mining tool which name i don't remember (the red one with a blue point), so yeah, even if it's a bug, you can't really use it to make things that have highly impact on the round which makes this bug the last, or one of the last bugs that "need" to be fixed.

Also, i will recommend you to describe the title better, because the main "idea" of your description is that you can print things that require silver without the need of it which doesn't makes sense with the title, and the post is a duplicate, it was already posted and the dev team knows about it.

I do have to disagree with your assertion that this can't affect the round because noone really has abused it yet. Like I said in the note. The circuit Imprinter can also create things made of metal as well because it can't be accepted. So in theory you can make an infinite amount of large grenade casing, a large amount of sonic jackhammers which was the mining tool you were referring to which could easily change the dynamic of attacking the cave hive, and several other items I can't think of right now. Which easily can turn around a round if abused

Dude, you are talking with a guy that makes 40 chemnades in a round in less than an hour and wins the round by himself with them and because of that, some admins and players have made a suggestion to disable the chemnades because i, specifically i, have "abused" the power of the chem nades and i can tell you that it does not impact the game as much as you think, also, what the circuit imprimer does is that it takes the materials of the prolathe to print the things, it has an infinite ammount of silver, but not of metal and other materials, if you want to check this, insert a single sheet of metal in the prolate and then look at the materials in the prolate, then print something in the circuit imprimer and check the prolathe materials again, and like i said, the only thing that you can "abuse" with the infinite silver that is has is sonic jackhammers, and i have done a lot of them in a lot of rounds and i can tell you that it doesn't have too much impact in the game because in the first place, marines don't even use them. Anything more to add?
