Re: Ability to name/rename your armors

A bonus suggestion with some caveats: maybe even change the color of the armor icon in the inventory? But I feel like the color change would be more work to implement than just being able to rename the armor. And it may be confusing for new players for changing their character's color too. Why ? So...

Re: Use delta-compression to speed up joining a multiplayer game

You're basically saying we should force replay for multiplayer games, and send the replay instead of the save file.

Go turn on replay for a megabase game, and compare the file size to a non-replay game of similar size.

Prove the save files are the same for returning players.
Or do you mean prove that the local save matches the old save that the delta is based on?
This, obviously. And now do it without needing to sent nearly as much data as just sending the whole file.

Re: I made a thing. (4 way Overhead Rail intersection).

How does this compare to a cloverleaf interchange? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverleaf_interchange Cloverleafs are terrible. You want something topologically equivilent to a stack interchange.

Re: Removing the Spidertron "screen jitter" on moving around.

I'm honestly unsure if I'm in the luck majority or not here, but by the time I get a spidertron I'm almost entirely working from map view.

With the 2.0 improvements to map view, I may never leave it.

(But yes, removing "head bob" toggle should be there, for modded games if nothing else)

Re: Warning icons for drills with depleted resources

Check the lights on the new drill graphics.

We can also wire our drills, and set up warning lights (and toolbar warnings) when the patch they're on is under a certain amount of resources.
