Re: Friday Facts #414 - Spoils of Agriculture
Extremely cool! It really does sound like a different but very interesting mechanic to optimize against. Can't wait until release!

Re: Friday Facts #412 - Undo/Redo improvements & Car Latency driving
I do wonder what's going to happen when you cross a railway in a car and there's a train coming. You'll think you can make it, but the car actually gets run over by the train? Doesn't sound like a lot of fun

Re: Friday Facts #410 - Rocket turret & Target priorities
I like the rocket turret, but when it is launching rockets it doesn't look as impressive as I expected. Could you add a puff of smoke to represent the backblast? In the space platform video it looks like the launch tubes are open in the back so it is strange there is no smoke/flames coming from the...

Re: Friday Facts #405 - Whole belt reader, New logistics GUI
Perhaps you could still add the option that if one clicks on a specific item (or member), the minimap will add icons of where that item is stored/located? So you can re-add the functionality of showing where things are, but it is less obtrusive as you do not need all the different minimaps, and you ...

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements
If you want the trains to have different behavior based on which train they are, isn't it natural that you would need different schedules for them? Unless you had the stop read the train ID and decide whether to activate the interrupt based on that. Each version could still be a train group applied...

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements
Interrupts are evaluated when ready to leave a station. It's been suggested that signals from that station are still available at that time. If that is the case, you could simply set the B signal to 1 for stations in the base, and add B=1 to the conditions of the refueling interrupt. What this make...

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements
Very cool! Something not mentioned that I think would really be an additional improvement on top of interrupts would be the ability to temporarily disable interrupts, or fully disable interrupts and only check them at specific points in a schedule. For example, if you know that the refueling station...

Re: Friday Facts #380 - Remote view
The new ghosts are really really great, and I really love the shimmering effect! Really helps sell the hologram "not truly here yet" feeling. I wonder if the tint for "accepted job" ghosts could be different instead of simply lighter; I have to admit that unless the same patch ha...

Re: Friday Facts #379 - Abstract rewiring
This post is amazing, but it made me realize that the shadows of the cables actually go on top of the sprites whether it makes sense or not, and it makes me sad now. I had never noticed it before!!

Re: Friday Facts #376 - Research and Technology
Given the videos, it seems the recycler can output items of a higher quality than the input. If so, I'm not a huge fan of this idea. Conceptually, it'd make much more sense if a quality-enhanced recycler could improve the chance of extracting high-quality modules from high-quality items, without gen...

Re: Friday Facts #363 - 1.1 is getting close
Also love the nighttime lighting!
However, it seems weird to me that the bolts of lightning from the batteries don't emit light anymore (arcs are usually *very* bright). Would it be possible to add some bluish light there?

Re: Friday Facts #296 - All kinds of bugs
A thing I tend to do for these cases, when the code is supposed to be very performant, is just add a ton of asserts. Then the game crashes the same, but when you debug the problem you can get much closer to the source by starting to look from the first failed assert rather than the last thing which ...

Re: Friday Facts #243 - New GUI tileset
Really love the new GUI, but I've always wondered whether a more rusty background would be more in theme with the rest of the game. Smooth matte grey doesn't really fit the rest of the game. Would still using grey, but with a rusty iron texture maybe work better? Have you given a though to something...

Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts
Myself I never use bots. But would it not be more interesting if bots where constraint to one robotport and its own network. You would be able to determine the size of the network manually with the maximum decided by technology. Why would it? You just admit that you never use bots. So why are you a...

Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts
I am I the only one that think this whole argument is pointless? This is a sandbox-type game,sandbox games are about giving the FREEDOM to the player to decide whatever HE WANTS. I don't care if bots are overpowered or not,you shouldn't ever considering taking away the CHOICE from the players, ever...

Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts
I haven't read the whole thread, but here's my 2 cents on the Bots vs Belts question: I too am one of the people that thinks that bots are way too powerful to be fun. At the same time, I think the concept of bots really helps towards the endgame, where creating a belt-only solution for some recipes ...
