the space difference in the storages is outrageous

Indeed, as the saying goes, I expected more

[@yessmabie919]

In the early demo I always wondered how the collection of shards was supposed to be automated, now that it's the released version, I'm still wondering that. Good luck!

[@STHedgehog]

I'll give automating it a go in the next episode, but I feel its going to be difficult to get right without losing lots of sparks.

If hauling Sparks can attack the bunnies but they can't chop trees then I imagine they can't chop down the hive either. So if they were in the thrower they were just attacked the living things and not the environment?

[@yessmabie919]

sounds like an opportunity to "for science"

[@STHedgehog]

For Science we will try!
But, I think if the sparks are stunned because they can't chop down a big tree or the barrow, they will be free game for the spunnys to attack them.

Spoilers about automating aether:
So, it does seem to be possible, but not at this point in the game. I think you are getting close, but still have a bit to go. You have to be able to collect miasma, which then gets used in an alchemy lab to turn one shard into more.
I do find it a bit strange that such a basic resource takes so long to automate in an automation game.

I've seen some posts about it being quite late game, before the latest patches late game that was, and many people complaining that its hard, when its the main thing needed for spark production.
I guess the devs wanted an automation game where you Couldn't walk away and just leave it running, which is odd...
