Quality balance is really weird, ngl. When Speed Module can almost double the speed for the same energy cost on Epic, and quality inserters can can provide very useful bottleneck fixes - we have some things like belts increasing their HP with quality. Of course, you can't balance everything perfectl...

Maybe for me enemies was hard because I played with deathworld setting. But about spoiling: Whatever it's main point or not - early game on Gleba is frustratingly hard compared to Vulcanus and Fulgora. If you don't want this to be the case (and I don't) - you HAVE to make it easier. On other planets...

I think early game on gleba should be made significantly easier, because it's very hard and frustrating to start without having good supply from other planets Unlike other two where you get access to big amount of resources pretty quickly There are 3 reasons for this: - enemies - difficult to get ea...

Considering all the new expansion features - I think mining productivity isn't that useful You have already near-infinite basic resources on Vulcanus, so all the expensive things can be made there And on Nauvis I never ran out of ore since I got the Foundries filled with productivity modules Especia...

There's are different map generator presets. But the: - "Rich resources", "Rail world", "Ribbon world" affect only resources on Nauvis - "Death world" affect only biters on Nauvis but not Gleba enemies This may be intended, but I would like to hear a confirmat...

If you trying to access "the best ups" you are right, but if you are trying to get just high ups - no. For example, we have only base 2 things that lower the UPS - electricity and production. Let minimum production ups impact equals 1x. And let now we have 2 choices for electricity: solar ...

I said what it will be post-rocket researches, so gameplay before the rocket won't change. UPS issue in late-game forcing you to use only one type of solution: only solar energy can be used, only trains can be used to transport basic materials, etc... Adding new UPS-friendly ways to do things can ad...

UPS is a bottleneck for creating huge bases and adding tools to increase UPS may cause balance problems, so I think adding new researchers after launching a rocket (using white science) is a good idea. UPS killers: - balancers Possible solution: adding 4 and 8 input splitters - manipulators Possible...
