Re: [2.1.12] Cargo Landing Pad on Gleba causing lag

I'd say instead of stacking 90k+ items on one tile, when the dropped items overflow they should stack at either a random tile or sequentially out, trying to avoid being behind entities at all costs.

Re: Disable new radar behaviour

I would love to see for the ability to disable alerts for specific entities/types. Like I don't want to see alerts for destroyed walls or mines, they're just noise to me, but anything else, yeah I wanna know if they're in my base.

Re: Raise an event for expansion base built alert.

There's an alert API. Why don't you just read the alerts?

Re: [2.1.12] Parameters are replaced as the same value even if they are different, if they have the same default value

This is buggy behavior, and was definitely one of the more annoying encounters I had with trying to use the system. I've seen several YouTubers who have encountered the same things to spin into circles trying to find workarounds re-tweaking numbers, which makes them unable to set sane defaults ...

Re: Auto-rotate fluid tanks when placed in a row

This may not always be something that the user wants. I know plenty of dual stations serving 2 liquids, and merging them together is not ideal. Also, storage tanks are not something that historically has been "draggable" in a sense that the previous placement effected future placement. It drags like ...

Re: temperature

I think it was probably done for performance reasons. To actively check and update the slowness based on the temperature level of surrounding pipes as opposed to a one off frozen/unfrozen, would cause a more sizeable ups hit.

If they can't be sent up to space via shuttle, what makes you think they can fit into cargo pods?

I'd say this is working as intended.

Re: My space age review

My only major gripe with space age was the design of the landing pads being limited to 1 per planet. Watching AVDII on YouTube (Who did 1M spm run) have to resort to using bots to extract items out of the pad because throughput wasn't high enough, kinda goes against the idea of "Base must grow ...

Re: [2.0.55]Mod breaks reading capitalized extensions only when in a .zip

Filenames in windows are case insensitive so when searching if a file exists and loading, filenames don't care about case. This is not the case for zip files, because the files are explicitly loaded via code.

Regardless, if this was fixed to do case-insensitive matching on windows, the mod would ...

[2.0.57] ~10 FPS Drop when maximized/fullscreen

I can't seem to find the root cause of why the game renders differently when maximized or at full screen versus when windowed (Even a few pixels smaller than maximized).

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04, using gdm/X11. I've got the latest published nvidia ubuntu drivers: 570.133.07.

Perhaps it would be better to differentiate internally if it's a temporary stop created by script or by the player?

Re: Allow more functions to be used in blueprint parameterization



I'd also love the ability to get the stack size of an item that's used as an ingredient. Currently we can get the "count" of ingredient 1, but no way to get the stack size of that item.


If parameter 1 is set to ingredient 1, then p1_s would give you it's stack size.
