TL;DR
The mech suit should have a more physical handling with acceleration, rather than flat movement.

What?
The mech suit should start out moving slower, then accelerate quickly over time of use.

Why?
Using the mech suit with an inventory full of legendary legs to move fast is funny, but ...

Tentatively I'm going to say that they are simply not really needed. For quality, use robots; they can handle it far superior to any belt solution. Linked chests are much superior for train balancing. Large containers are, at best, a pretty minor convenience.

Fair enough

Hey guys, currently I'm looking at making a mod where the player spawns with a few tiles, kinda like a Seablock-esque thing. The problem I'm encountering is that there's no way to make the starter tiles minable. This seems to be because the autoplace expression can only autoplace the top tile, not ...

TL;DR
Add some researches with Prometheum science that are fun and motivate players to play longer

What?
Add a "post-game" progression that gives players more of a reward for sticking it out in the endgame. Mechanics, items, or other that are hard to get and make the game a bit different to ...

I'd also like more control of the starmap, particularly it would be nice if it could be modified dynamically. I'm thinking of making a mod where certain events may re-arrange the starmap or block some locations

How would this distinguish from an underground that was placed too wide, or just a solo underground without a partner? Is this specifically only if they are blocked by lava? I feel like the display tips, and inability to create an underground by dragging already do a pretty good job of guarding ...

Perhaps I am naive about something coming up, but what mod is required to complete the game? Historically I don't use any mods until I have finished the vanilla game, and that is the case thus far.


None of them are required, but many of them make the game way more fun. I'm not the only one who ...

TL;DR
When an underground pipe/belt is blocked because of lava/space/etc, display an alert, either locally or globally or both.

Why?
Currently it's easy to accidentally block your undergrounds. This can occur because the blueprint construction is only blocked if the actual tiles are blocked ...

100 solar panels and an eff module chemical plant melting ice you find in the rocks (or send down from orbit). I also used a nuclear reactor for kickstart; you can use a heating tower with pre-positioned fuel but the nuclear reactor seems so much better.

I agree that this would basically turn Factorio into KSP, and I'm not necessarily complaining about more KSP (especially after disaster KSP2) but that's not what I expected when I bought Space Age.

There probably is a window of time where it's useful to drop calcite from orbit for smelting steel and gears. But you quickly reach a point (with higher tier modules/beacons/prod tech) where ore is so plentiful and furnaces so fast, that taking an extra dependency on calcite isn't worth it.


It ...

Space Exploration is certainly harder than Space Age in total; SA doesn't really have anything as difficult as Arcospheres, or the secret ending. Gleba is the only planet that is a real challenge the first time you face it, and even then, it was not as hard.

- As Vinzenz said, the No Enemies ...

You can ship Calcite or farm it in orbit after you've done Gleba, so Foundries give you an enormous productivity increase on Nauvis, Fulgora and some parts of Gleba too. The extra modules available for EMP/Foundry are also huge bonuses for Quality and some of the Foundry-specific recipes like LDS ...

Additionally since you can turn fruits into flux, this would meean way more supply of legendary plastic/sulfur and copper/iron ore, which is probably not desirable. I'd maybe like some better quality fruit options but it's definitely a risky area. Quality modules in the agri tower may be nice but ...

That is what I've been doing, but it breaks how construction robots should work- place and forget

This means you can't place a station, and a train that will service that station, in the same blueprint.

TL;DR
A ghost train should turn a signal red just like a real train

What?
Existing, real trains cannot enter blocks which have ghost trains in them.

Why?
Currently, placing ghost trains on tracks which are in use is pretty dodgy. Because the ghost train doesn't block the signal, you can get a lot ...

Thanks!

TL;DR
Make running away off Nauvis to Vulcanus/Fulgora not such an easy win on deathworld

What?
Vulcanus/Fulgora should gain some planet-specific difficulty modifiers. These can be disabled in all presets except deathworld. For Vulcanus I might suggest demolishers that spawn and attack you ...
