TL;DR Allow placement of blueprints to remove the missing cable connections on the existing setup. What ? When you place a blueprint down, any cable connections that are missing, but are in the blueprint, are added to the setup. I would like the inverse of this to be the case as well, removing any ...

Heh. There was a mod that had a few ex-nihlo generators, chests, assemblers, and a science lab scattered about appearing as chucks of the crashed ship. Honestly a more interesting start than just a bunch of random components, fire, and a massive but low capacity chest. Railcars still do a better job...

If i design my own intersection or whatever, the rules that i constantly whisper to myself is. Signal- you can enter and wait, and nobody will mind. Chain- if you enter, you must be able to leave immediately. Past that, i try and subdivide as much as feasible so as to imitate what you can do with a ...

Eh, i watched a deathworld island video where they had to constantly switch between the two. But it IS a degenerate case, so is only rarely an issue. Still, in a situation where you need maximum dps and tech/resources are severely limited, i apperantly can matter https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=66wFVN...

Fish conflict with grenades and other capsules, which means that if you are healing, you have significantly lower dps.

Ah, that makes more sense. Although you can already get the usernames from joining the game, and there aren't alieses. Not sure if this forum uses the same login info as the game, been a few years since I registered, but I would imagine getting usernames is pretty trivial. I would followup with havi...

I doubt downloading extra data is a problem. You already have a modlist, which is probably just a list of strings, and you don't have to join to get that.

Is the evofactor universal or per planet? I want to play this, but last time, we got completely overrun a short time after getting into space. Normally the techs to deal with that were available, but space science was still being experimented with. The descriptions suggest that game settings only ap...

Why not light oil to solid fuel?

Same reason as the beacons. Have to waste the non-heavy oil biproducts. You get less solid fuel this way and hence need less power consumption.

The beacons are probably there to cocunonsume power, so as to use up the extra solid fuel. That is my guess at least.

Me and my friend, Lorieslater, have finally managed what is almost, but not quite, a megabase. It isn't quite finished, in the sense that it only managed around 900/minute, but that turns out to have been because of a lack of stone, which would have been a trivial fix, but we were getting sick of th...

Do you mean being able to, say, build a refinery on top of a refinery to rotate it, such that it matches your cursor's rotation, similar to how belts work now?

I doubt he meant let you fast replace those building types with each other, it is a suggesion for each of those individually.

Would cause other problems, like the U-Shaped roboport networks. Admittedly, in that case the issue is more the AI beings computationally cheap and stupid as a resulT. Instead of crashing, going to another roboport would also work, as would having an indicator as to how many are out, like combat rob...

I still think belt immunity should just be a default toggle, or default function. If you stand on a belt, your character will automatically walk in the opposute direction, and the exact sperd to counteract the movement, no module required. Except for maybe blue belts, which would probably still push...

The only thing that jumps out at me is that trains would probably explode from the transition and probably can't be properly teleported with train AI. Aside from that and the borders between squares, a non-linear simulation should be at least plausable. I would suggest only allowing a limited number...

Certainly something like that. Obviously 'fun' is different for different folks! I just think it's very overlooked - apart from poles I'm not sure it's been updated since the dark ages. I have no LUA experience but would be happy to devote some time to help develop a mod. Unfortunately it is not po...

Changing the internal name shouldn't be a huge deal, seeing as I still clearly remember when "Basic" got snipped off of a ton of things, since there wasnt exactly advanced versions to compare them to. Broke lots of mods, but migration meant saved games still worked.

Not sure where I learned about it, but my guess would be the Minecraft Industrialcraft forum. Or maybe searching for games like minecraft. It has been a while.

I remember being disappointed with the reactor system when it was added. Mainly because it had hints of the Industrialcraft reactors, which were very complex and detailed, with a number of tradeoffs. The reactors we got were much less interesting. But, they worked, and could replace massive solar fi...

I seem to recall a mod that scaled up recipes, which worked great, except for nuclear ore refining, since it just multiplied things. Ratio of like 50, so you had to run it 50 more times to have the same chance of getting ANY refined uranium. My opinion is that the data api should have the ability to...
