First game using AMD's. I like them but it's the last time I build a base around one. Or at least any base that I spend any time at other than a brief stop to pick up the ore and refuel the AMD. It's the noise. The AMD has the same annoying loudness no matter where I stand. Even outside 80 m away with the entire base in between me and it I can hear it buzzing away. Is there any way to turn off the sound effects or alleviate it in some way? Walls don't seem to stop the sfx.
To my knowledge there is no way, other than turning down the volume. I believe they were generally designed to be drop and forget items, not something people would want in their back yard.
the water collectors are even worse, you have just 1 amd on a node, but 10+ water collectors are really loud (i turn volume down when i work on those, and the rather nice desert oasis base they are in is not useable for annything else)
I believe you can edit/switch the sound effect each item makes in the configuration files, may want to do a bit of searching on how to do that if you are of the software engineering persuasion and have a text editor like notepad.exe (VI also works fine.)
Yeah, the water collectors are way more annoying since you can hear them for like 200 meters or something, and they go from insanely loud to nothing after getting further away than that. At least the sounds generated by the autominers steadily falls off the further you walk away from them.
