Throwing my two cents in for a more concrete implementation idea:

If efficiency is negative, strikes will drain from the buffer instead of filling it.

A new field, minimum_buffer_content (value: float), is mandatory if efficiency is < 0. At runtime, if the current buffer energy is below this ...

... I also tend to start production of Stone Blocks asap so I can lay them down and save time running about, and I know I'll have to go into Concrete eventually anyway.

Generally I have Automation researched and a few machines production yellow belts by the half-hour mark; by the one hour mark ...

... the ghost of the ice is placed underneath the power-pole, but none of the bots feel responsible.

Completely removing the whole ghost (buildings+concrete+ice) and placing it again resolved the issue, but as I keep placing stuff down it just randomly crops up again. It feels like 99% of the stuff I ...

Gleba soils accept productivity modules despite being tiles (and not being frequently used in recipes like concrete is), nutrients from biter eggs doesn’t accept quality modules, nutrients from fish doesn’t accept productivity modules (no it wouldn’t close the ...

... and the legendary stuff that exceed the limit i set on the logistic network for fulgora gets "voided" by recyclers.
One trick with the refined concrete is to turn it into "hazard" concrete, and recycle the hazard concrete into refined concrete, and then turn it into hazard, and recycle the hazard ...

... annoying to fix. Core of the problem is that rendering tile transitions does 2 passes, one using original tile ID's which means a frozen hazard concrete is considered different from normal hazard concrete which makes the corner to not draw. Second part of drawing transitions is based on groups of ...

Blue underground belts, underground pipe casting, big power poles, foundry concrete… Surely with these, it’s easier to see how they have more substance than asteroid rerolling. Which, again, is basically the same as ore recycling but with a return rate of >40% instead of 25%.


I agree with the ...

... how their resource efficiencies compare, because I never calculated the performance of plastic recycling. But I suppose I could do so now, to create a concrete comparison with real numbers that will certainly reveal the real “winner” between the two methods. If you believe it’s necessary, that is.

This seems Intentional? The Recipe for a Centrifuge is 100 Red Circuits (100kg) + 100 Concrete (1000kg) + 100 Gears (100kg) + 50 Steel (125kg) = 1,325kg. The resulting Item weighing "only" 1 Ton seems like a pretty good economization! The math for a Nuclear Reactor is even more comical, requiring 5 ...

As we have alt and all the other buttons, i suggest a new one. This new one essentially tells the bots to do what different mods do....: clear up the map. And hopefully concrete.. so 2 buttons?
2 deconstruction planners. Done.

There are many mods who do exactly what i will write here so i don't get why they are not in the main game by default. I assume ...

Was playing for several hours straight, designing a new setup on Vulcanus. Clicked on empty tile (on refined concrete) and got crash. It's first time in 1000+ hours and it didn't reproduce again yet.

... ore patches appear in inconvenient places and interfere with base design. Being able to "clear" them with a bomb would solve that problem — as one Reddit user put it: " Under no circumstances shall I suffer the detestable image of ore besprinkled across my sacred concrete. "

What do you think?
