Re: Remove fast inserter

I use slower inserters in cases where I want a split with a very small overflow threshold.

Certain factory blueprints don't benefit from faster inserters, so don't need them, making them cheaper to build.

The slower inserters famously use less electricity, so they can compete when the object is to ...

Re: Solenoid valve

The regular pump can be connected to the circuit network to enable or disable on condition. But it only lets the fluid flow one direction, and throttles the flow to 1200/s or more likely less

Re: Belt upgrade planner

Sounds interesting but gameplay tip, you can put your saved upgrade planners in the B menu for later playthroughs, to avoid ever clicking 3 times again

Train status icons

I looked around the wiki looking for a table of train status icons, such as Zzz, and their meaning. If it's not anywhere right now, would be nice to add it to the locomotive page?

Re: Fulgora bootstrap

I bootstrapped myself on fulgora twice, and this most recent time I found myself not knowing how to fuel the stone furnace to get bricks! I spent a whole minute not remembering you get solid fuel from recycling scrap!

It was fun, don't fix.

Re: Moving Green Belts to Gleba

I got the impression that Vulcanus was associated with speed, like Mercury is. Fast day night cycle, speed module 3 is unlocked, turbo belt unlocked. And the steam recipe you can use there is ridiculously fast. The foundry has a default crafting speed of 4x (!)

Meanwhile the recipes on Gleba are ...

Re: Disable damage alerts for specific spaceships/surfaces

Ships "designed" to get damaged and continually repair themselves is similar to a defense wall on a planet which is continually supplied by repair packs. Seems like they'd both satisfy this desire to disable their damage warning, or neither.

Since the warning becomes kind of pointless in both cases ...

Re: Gleba has killed the game for me.

There are many strategies on this planet. It sounds like you tried a few that didn't work.

1. Building the factory incrementally without fully planning everything out. You can still do this on gleba. Assuming you want "stuff on the belt" all the time, the most obvious way will just lead to more ...

Re: Gleba has killed the game for me.

I don't bother trying to visually distinguish. While holding a building or soil stack the green and red overlay shows where land and water is, or where appropriate / inappropriate tiles are. Also, just for fun, clicking with seeds gives feedback on what the invalid tile is called. But yes planning ...

Re: Craft solid fuel in the biochamber

I like that there's potentially something you can do with all the excess solid fuel on fulgora, other than simply deleting it all. But it would be much less worth the effort if you had even better recipes via biochamber. It would also possibly outclass the "native" method to get solid fuel on aquilo ...

Re: Gleba has killed the game for me.

After trying a few runs of Space Age I think Gleba is one of the most well designed planets in any game. Aesthetically and gameplay-wise this planet has it all.

- Interesting environment, atmospherics, music.
- Evocative resources. The produce gets jellified or mashed as shown in the recipe ...

Re: [Kovarex] [2.0.28] Pasting Blueprints with trains on top of existing trains Replaces with Parameter 0

I ran into this bug over the weekend. Here is a sandbox save ready to exhibit it. Paste the blueprint on the hotbar over the left train stop and select the parameter. The train stop name is correctly updated but the schedule in the train gets broken. Meaning parameter zero in the schedule doesn't ...

Re: [boskid][2.0.34] Crash using clone tool in editor/sandbox between surfaces (TransportLine check fails)

Confirmed your steps in 2.0.34 reproduce the crash.
Confirmed the steps don't crash in 2.0.35!

And I tried some more aggressive versions of the original clone to gleba, waiting for the carbon to be in the underground as per description. Clone success every time.

Truly epic thanks

Re: Some items do not automatically send to the space platform

The rocket will auto launch with 300 processing units if there's a platform in orbit with an unsatisfied request for processing units. It will also launch with less than 300 if the request has an alternative minimum payload.

Tested on 2.0.34

Also the 999kg is just for show. It's truncating the ...

Re: [2.0.34] crash when using clone tool in editor / sandbox between surfaces

While trying to get a reliable reproduction I noticed something odd.

When it crashes, it happens shortly after pasting the cloned factory onto gleba the first and only time before crashing.

If it doesn't crash upon pasting, I can paste again many times with no problems. But every paste after the ...

[boskid][2.0.34] Crash using clone tool in editor/sandbox between surfaces (TransportLine check fails)

Basically I tried to clone a small factory from nauvis to gleba using the /editor.

Edit: I can reproduce it now.
Edit: No I can't, not reliably. I just triggered it a few times and not other times. Maybe it has to do with the cloned factory's exact state when you do the pause step. Note that it is ...
