Re: Specify destination inventory for inserters


This seems like it'd be a weird interaction to try and handle from the inserters. Like, the UI would have an extra checkmark only for inserters, and the inserter needs to detect if it's pointed at a rocket silo. Maybe have a separate building that's for loading cargo into spaceships instead? I ...

Re: Posibility to take and and add items to the Cargo Bay





Building a ship that can produce as much as its using right off the bat is almost impossible. I have 26+ electric smelters, with speed 3 modules in them, and I'm still not making iron plates fast enough to keep up with my ammo usage. If I didn't have a buffer to help me test my actual ...

Re: Spawning biter nests

A mod will disable Steam Achievements. I was under the impression that disabling enemies would also disable Steam Achievements. In the past, I've just disabled pollution spread which keeps them out of your hair and would still allow you to capture the nests.

For your scenario, I don't see a way to ...

I wasn't sure if I should add this to another thread, or create a new one as it's a different take on what others have suggested. As with others, this isn't a request itself, but rather an idea that I don't yet know if it's possible to balance correctly.

Re: Posibility to take and and add items to the Cargo Bay


This is just my 2 cents, but who the hell cares if you can teleport items with the cargo bays? Your production limit will always be your bottleneck, not the inability to move items to the turrets/factories, so who cares that you can teleport items? Also belts are cheaper and smaller than cargo ...

Space platform - Circuit connection distance / Electric poles

TL;DR

Longer range for circuit connections in space
Remove automatic copper connection for electric poles in space


What?
Vastly increase the maximum connection distance for circuits in space - Both for electric poles and direct machine interconnection.

Re: Include "Even distributiuon" and "Rate calculator" mods in base game

I certainly agree with the rate calculator mod being brought into the base game, especially with the impact of quality on machines and modules - It gets very difficult to work out what you need without an external calculator.

I would also add, regarding the built-in input/output rate meter there's ...

Logistics Requests Via Circuits - Multipler

For requester chests, you can set the requests via circuits. Assemblers can now also output the required ingredients via circuits, therefore you can simply connect them together and along with parameterisable blueprints, a mall blueprint is very easy.

The issue is that there's no nice way to add a ...

I've been trying to avoid enemy and Aquilo spoilers so I've skipped many of the recent blog posts and related discussion.

Re: Friday Facts #433 - Liftoff Initiated

Well the jetpack certainly solves the "squeak through" issue!

I don't know if it's just me (Probably is), but SpaceX has ruined the cargo pod animation for me. I keep expecting the rocket plume to vector rather than the whole cargo pod body rotating.

I've only noticed this FFF so I'm about a year late, but I have a few last-minute suggestions on the train groups and related signals - Although it may have since changed to make these suggestions redundant.

It would be nice if you could have a special train group that all other groups inherited ...

I don't know if I will have the change to play the week after release and I will avoid content cretors for a while.

If I come back here for FFF will there be spoilers too? Or will it be safe?

I'm concerned about this too, the embargo should be lifted until after ...
