Biters need more attack tactics, not "spawnability" in my opinion. If biters just spawn inside your base, then the meta would just be, spam defenses everywhere. Maybe new kinds of biters, like a brawler and smashes walls. Flying things that move fast, etc.

This player joined MP game and started to delete/deconstruct everything, OPlaserturret.

However, there is a limit to how much you can put into this name, probably because of the character limit. I propose ...

Ok, so what does the run replay option do?

Gleba has revived the game for me.

When an EM plant is configured to use the Set Recipe option when two different fluids are used for each recipe, the EM plant refuses to let one of the fluids into the recipe reservoir to begin crafting. Nothing is indicated to the player that the machine contains another fluid, so essentially the ...

New steam achievement suggestion: "You sure about that?"

Finish the game without deconstructing any logistics or production structures.

Gleba is not that hard guys. Just use bots. My target SPM was around 30. I feel like people here are just not exploring the spoilage features and looking at settings on their chests and inserters.

When I parameterize the ingredient signals, I can never set a ingredient of parameter 0 (recipe signal). What am I doing wrong? 11-12-2024, 05-08-13.png 11-12-2024, 05-08 ...

Please Wube, we can use upgrade planner to apply modules to empty slots or to change module level from one to another.

I would like to be able to use an upgrade planner to make a selection box over turrets that are low on ammo, or to change ammo type using bots, so that turrets can be managed much ...

You don't show any defenses, biters are probably hugging the coastline from the west.

SOLVED: I just noticed that we can click any of the results from the logistic network search, which will remove the active cursor in the search text box and then I can press Q to put the ghost item in cursor. This is already a thing.
