My trains are going 300kmh on turn radii where I would be afraid to turn on a motorbike

To add to the realism, Wube should make it so that some molten metal spills out when trains take turns like that.

Why? Molten metals are being transported from the smelter to the foundry with trains in the real world all the time, sometimes over distances of several hundred kilometers because it's more energy efficient to keep the metal hot rather than remelt it at the foundry. Modern torpedo or bottle wagons ...

This was a fun look behind the curtain. Though I'm really not a fan of the concept of transporting molten metals being more efficient. For me it falls into the same "utter nonsense" category as steam batteries. Not a big problem though since I can hopefully avoid using them. What people, i...

hmmm... in that animation , both of them looked like stones , appeared like burnt and unburnt stones to me. still not able to figure out , how one gets molten iron from iron ore. From the blog post: Recipes and resources Apart from these two structures and tungsten processing, Vulcanus has some mor...

Thanks for pointing out some undisclosed technologies ! It leads me to think that water will maybe be used for crafting/transformation as otherwise that second step wouldn't be of any use as it could just be consumed by turbines directly. The reason behind getting liquid water may be because the co...

In fact... it could even result in steam. I mean, sulfuric acid's boiling point is over 3x that of water.... According to a response in the reddit thread, that's exactly how it works. The sulfuric acid neutralization results in 500degree steam first, only after that you can do a second step of stea...

Calcite is a new resource used as a cleaning/purifying ingredient in various recipes like sulfuric acid neutralization, lava processing, or melting iron/copper ore. Does this mean we need to ship calcite to Nauvis if we want to use the more efficient smelting recipes there? Or will there be some wa...

My initial reaction to Space age and 2.0 was definitely "I need this NOW". But I've found my perspective changing somewhat as more FFF's have been released. Not that the update doesn't look great, I'm still excited to play it. But I also know that it will change the game a lot, and that I'...
