Will there be an option to reduce the motion and/or brightness of the dust and foreground asteroids? They look pretty distracting to me in the current videos, or like they could cause motion sickness.

Perhaps I missed it, but one of the concerns about meddling with the beacons was whether the user would be able to calculate the benefits quickly in their head.

Since calculators are now a requirement, are you including one in-game?

I would also like an in-game calculator or graph, please!

Thank you so much for upstreaming some work!

you can already do that by activating the snap to grid option

I'm not talking about placing blueprints, but placing the buildings after you've already placed the blueprints in the world. This is for when you've already made blueprints, but before you've researched construction robots.

TL;DR If you start placing buildings on a blueprint, additional placements should snap to the rest of the blueprint. Why ? Placing buildings over a blueprint is tedious, because you constantly have to press and release the mouse, and slowly manually align the buildings with the blueprint, so that y...

Bots can't move fluids but they can move barrels. I think in some previous blogs, the devs said that bots solved too many problems in the game. IMO, barrels could be removed, unless we remove or change logistic bots. But I guess "bad" items and recipes are also a type of puzzle - finding ...

I actually don't even understand why barrels are in the game - they do the same thing as fluid-wagons or pipes and they're also overpowered.

remembers the outside circuit wire connections, and tries to reconnect them if possible. To minimize problems, these connections are only remembered when using the cut tool, and are not (and cannot) ever be transferred into the blueprint library or blueprint export string. There's already other opt...

Can we research any of the tech from the ancient aliens? Is it for super-lategame stuff?

I like this idea. For me, a real game changer was this tool that can calculate a whole supply chain and the needed factories for it: https://kirkmcdonald.github.io/calc.html#tab=graph&data=1-1-19&items=advanced-circuit:f:1 Maybe, it is worth an idea to add a similar functionality also in th...

Feature request: a button to show a tree of sub-components. Long: Instead of just clicking each item individually from the recipes, could there be a button to show a tree of all the sub-components, sub-sub-components, etc? Like, if you click on green circuits, it should show iron plates and copper ...

feature request: instantiating a parameterized blueprint into a regular blueprint so you can select options once and then place it a hundred times. +3 for this one. The second video where the dev picks each parameter looks only slightly faster than just selecting those options on the non-blueprint ...

Quite interesting to see Golang getting some love at Wube. Was it only for prototyping, or is there now Golang in the tech stack? Go is Great! :D I'm also curious, since it should be a pretty good language for all the non-game server stuff. (It's garbage-collected, plus probably some other stuff I'...

Aaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhh! I want to play 2.0 already! So many quality of life improvements! (And I'm definitely going to get the expansion too. XD )

I like the update overall, but don't like how the Big Mining Drill moves. IMO, seems like something with bigger rotating teeth should do one big row of resources all at once, even if it moves more quickly when resetting to the other side. It also seems weird that the thing drills in a small spot, bu...

Yo, when can I play this? Faster, faster, faster! This all looks so gooooood!

Great changes, thanks! Combinators were really fiddly before, because you needed separate ones just for a simple and/or. Now I'm hoping that we get the ability to somehow read the composition of train cars in a station Yeah, this plus...I think cargo was missing? Maybe you can already read the cargo...

This expansion looks really good already! 8-) So hopefully I don't sound too negative - I have a bit of a concern with this statement: This means efficiency modules are now much more useful than before. Because: I hope Efficiency Modules 1 will finally be nerfed (keyword: miners) This is basically w...

Space Age has a lot of different challenges but they never get too extreme and the usage of combinators is quite lightweight IMO the game doesn't really encourage players enough to use combinators, so I'd actually prefer at least one recipe per planet that needs combinators for efficient automation...

Yeah, I should have done my mock differently. For the last case with the intersection block occupied, but not the exit blocks, I think you'd want a different symbol like a square instead of an X. (Because squares are blocks. XD ) Then when you're looking at the one chain signal you can at a glance k...
