I bid the sum of ONE MILLION DOLLARS for a alpha/beta/gamma test.

If I alpha/beta/gamma test it for you and fix some bugs can I give you money?

I have a question about the game: is there likely to be a level creator, through which we may share levels to other users of the game? I do not know how the game is played (and frankly, I do not want to spoil any possible surprises), so it may not be possible, but assuming it is somewhat similar to Codex a level creator could, at least in theory, be implemented (and would be greatly desired).

On a related note, is it likely that a level creator will make an appearance in Codex any time soon?

Talk with the guys at Valve about putting SpaceChem on Steam! Not only would the game get tons of exposure, but we players could probably get achievements!

My question is: How much do I have to pay to get a beta copy right now? Personally, I’d pay $50 if I could be playing this game tonight. I’d even sign an NDA and send you bug reports. 🙂

I will definitely announce the release on the tile factory mailing list. After watching the video far too many times and studying the screenshots, I understand how it will work. This is going to be much better than Codex was, and Codex was pretty darn amazing.

The one thing I don’t understand is how syncing between reactors works. Inside a reactor it generates a new molecule whenever the ‘in’ instruction is reached properly. But when you have two reactors connected together, the first is generating molecules at a fixed rate. So what happens if the second one calls ‘in’ at a faster rate than the first one delivers?

Another question is the recycler. Does this feed into an economic model for the game or is it just trash?
