Re: Friday Facts #410 - Rocket turret & Target priorities

Some thoughts without having red what others wrote (too early): Cheaper missile recipe but still guided - why not introduce dumb fire missile below expensive guided missile? Turrets could use worm logic for targets which should work on asteroids quite well. Those irrational bugs might have a chance ...

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

Suggestion 1: included array of parameters Instead of having to select manually parameters, why not 'automate' it by having a bunch stored in the blueprint and scroll through different setups similar to blueprint books' scroll function. When i looked at the intro video, i expected a feature similar...

Re: Friday Facts #312 - Fluid mixing saga & Landfill terrain

I just came here from Steam and tried hard to remember my login to tell the author what a good read this was. I once spent back at university 2,5h making a 'simple' recursive function work which ended with just 4 lines of code... :cry: I applaud the effort to give landfill it's own unique texture, e...

Tech tree: no hidden technologies and still readable

I would like to have all technologies fully integrated in the tech tree and keep it readable by using colors and/or limited steps. Problem: Right now technologies are partially erased from tech tree to avoid clutter and spaghetti, but this confuses players (or at least me and some others who have fi...

Tech tree: struggle of hidden technologies

Tech tree and its implemention should be revisited in my opinion. Problem: hidden technologies In my case i stumbled over processing unit - oh, you little purple b******. And it's not a bug - it's a feature... :o To quote a developer from a bug report topic: Thanks for the report however this is wor...

Re: Poll: Offshore Pump Should Need Energy

For an alternative setup i could think of a small windmill pump like this: http://www.ironmanwindmill.com/how-windmills-work.htm It would be automated, so no additional player interaction needed like current 'magically' pump, but it would also be a weak pump. So it could be balanced vs an electrical...

Re: [0.14] Nuclear reactor as part of advanced steam setup

At least I think the above concept covers the part for the fluid (water/steam) processing/reprocessing quite well indeed. That's what it is. Originally i wanted to post a complete concept for nuclear power but then i decided to go small, split things up and start with the easy and good looking part...

[0.14] Nuclear reactor as part of advanced steam setup

Nuclear reactor becomes part of an advanced steam setup that features superheated steam, advanced boilers, steam turbines and cooling towers. Advanced Steam.jpg For me a nuclear reactor is nothing more than a huge boiler. So it's only logically to make it a part of already existing steam setup. The ...
