Re: 0.15 Should efficiency modules be more about pollution?

Are you a moron? Efficiency DOES reduce pollution. That's my whole reason for using them everywhere... Only the pollution generated by the boiler. you could also try reducing pollution directly on the machines. This is not correct. An electric mining drill generates 9 pollution on it's own, but wit...

Re: Idea: Replace "research" with "prototyping"

It sounds like something that might be fun as a one-off gameplay mode or mod, but having to manually reconfigure research production for every single tech or item unlock would get very tedious very quickly as a standard game mode. You're still in the mindset of the old system here. You don't have t...

Re: Multiple signals on one wire (multiplexing) - simple to use
