For the new server option "auto-pause when a player is joining," is this only for dedicated servers, or will this functionality (hopefully) exist in in-game hosting as well? Hopefully its the latter.

FYI, Raiguard has mentioned before that all of his mods will be supported with 2.0 on day 1, which coincidentally works perfect for me. So at a minimum you have those.

I'm doing the same thing myself, starting a long term game running 24/7 on a server. Aside from Rate Calculator like you mentioned, I'll be using these two from Raiguard as well: Ultimate Research Queue : Supports queues of 40 or so which is a nice improvement from vanilla. Can also auto-continue in...

hey, just what you see pal

Can we display a circuit network value in the message? Say something like a pattern, "Iron plates: {}" where the hole "{}" is replaced with the actual number in the circuit network. Would be very handy, especially when space is limited. Displaying a number on the screen itself a...

Agreed 100%, with the game since 2016 myself. The level of entitlement from some people these days is pretty funny. You're spending $35 for something that cost millions of dollars and years to develop.

Really looking forward to this, Factorio is the only gave I've played in the last few years and I'm sure SA will be even more impressive. I don't use Steam and play the game standalone, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least a little bit worried about the website crashing/severely slowing down at ...

Not sure if I'm the biggest fan of the implementation, but what I am happy about is it helps with UPS, and since my main goal on SA is to go big, this will help in achieving that goal to its fullest.

This would be a really nice thing to have added to the base game, to show the maximum input/out items per time interval. Items/min is more useful for slower crafts, and items/sec is more useful for wanting to saturate an output belt, or to deplete a supply belt. Ideally you'd have a setting to chang...

I would really like if there was some way to quickly switch through the various surfaces when in the production menu, the name of the surface/platform on the top left can be replaced by a dropdown in the same location. There can be a target sort of symbol next to it that immediately switches it back...

Its implemented differently in a bunch of ways, but it functionally does the same thing, using a smaller combinator-only surface to compact circuit network logic builds. I think their approach makes it a bit more convoluted than it needs to be.

I love playing with combinators, but one of my biggest gripes is the large amount of space they consume. The game has you building nuclear reactors, portable fusion reactors and flying construction robots, so why should a device which functions as a basic logic gate take up 1x2 space? :lol: But imag...

Another observation:

something's going on here.

I suspect they're setting the stage for some ultra-powerful bot types/capabilities for endgame (beyond what quality offers).

Regarding the comments on epilepsy, the game shouldn't be restricted/limited for a minority of players. The new fast belts are a nice addition. Don't use the new belts if you feel like they'll trigger something, or use mods to make whatever changes you want.

duplicate message please remove

Consider the color orange for the new bulk inserters. Its a sportier color, indicative of its performance.

This is awesome.

It seems like conditional logic baked into it would help out a lot. We were discussing the implication of this feature with the quality mechanic, and how different qualities would be treated as the same parameter or not. For instance, you can have a checkbox on the BP parameter screen when placing i...

I saw the Twitter post and was wondering what happened lol

This is already displayed with trains, so it would be nice to have this with all vehicles. It also puts it in line with kill stats from turrets as well. Aside from kills from striking biters/enemies, for vehicles with turrets it should also include kills from that as well. If total damage can be inc...
