Ah, I see, I misunderstood what the suggestion was about.

So what happens when I have 499 explosives on the platform and a request of 500? Does it just launch a rocket with a payload 1 explosive? And then another rocket the instant the number drops below 500 again?


Unless there's some technical reason, I don't see why this wouldn't be an improvement ...

Time factor is just... not very relevant unless you twiddle your thumb for 50+ hours. Even then if you ignored Gleba and then let the evolution tick up to 0.4 or whatever you should probably have access to tools like artillery or tesla.

Leaving aside that a tank is a very overpowered clearing tool ...

It's pretty notable that the mining speed of drills in endgame is fast enough that it's very difficult to get the full output out of a drill, so the mining productivity researches only serve to extend how long the patch lasts after a certain point (when one drill mines 1.4k scrap per second it's ...

Oh, you're right. Somehow I missed that.

What did you do?
Attempted to deconstruct a beacon in remote view.

What happened?
A construction bot came to perform the order as normal, but then the bot got stuck, throwing up an out of storage alert even though the network it was in should have had storage available. I checked to make sure ...

Hmm, would it be possible for higher quality rocket silos to have increased lift capacity per rocket? Just spitballing.

This whole suggestion subscribes to an overly narrow view of "balance" where anything "overpowered" must be hammered down into homoegenity.

The way things currently is better for gameplay diversity. You're still asked to engage in recycler loops and upcycling for planetary specific materials, and ...

Previously, as stated in the reply above, basically it was a way to reduce consumption of ingredients/ore. You got more for resources invested.



But if you rather want to make it a meta/philosophical debate whether it is still useful in 2.0, then I would argue:

No.


Simply because now we have ...

So... it does show that there is a cap. Yet...

Does it only communicate that the productivity bonus has reached its hard cap if the bonus reaches or exceeds +300%?

So, OP is slightly incorrect, in that the game does document the +300% cap, but only if you manage to ...

The closest idea I have uses what I'm doing now with a recycler eating its own excrement to deal with spoilage. But I'm convinced it will find some way to spoil somewhere and lock up. So much spaghettis, every belt and every machine needs a drainage inserter. It really puts the pre 2.0 burner only ...

This just sounds like a total pain in the ass that would add a massive amount of annoyance to the gameplay and massively restricts dozens of playstyles. If you're "totally fine with it", you obviously did not think through the implications at all. If anything this is ridiculous anti-QoL that would ...

I mean this whole "you need to cap productivity researches at level 30, think about the poor players who will feel cheated after spending hundreds of hours on researching waaaah" is an absolute nothingburger. If you're actually at the point of being able to research level 30 productivity techs it's ...

Until such a time where this gets patched/optimized as far as I can tell the best solutions are:

- Get a chunk eraser tool, turn on "show-unit-territories" and "show-segmented-units-on-chart" and then erase any chunks that are part of a demolisher's territory.
- Use artillery/spidertron to kill ...

Circuit-controlled asteroid collectors may miss some chunks if they change filters too frequently because we have to search all chunks on the surface to find new valid candidates - there is a 300-tick cooldown between full ...

Hmm, I think I might have gotten the same issue, so I'll upload my log + dump files here if it helps (was doing some tests on fusion reactor efficiency and wanted to isolate some power connections, crash seems to have occurred when I attempted to disconnect/deconstruct a power switch). Unfortunately ...

2. You basically must have Debug Overlays on to detect the Demolishers in those non-radar-ed chunks (radar would generate even more), and attack them with Artillery to prevent more Chunks from being generated. Which if you only needed one shot to aggro them would be fine, but you need to focus ...

It's not, SegmentedUnit also takes a noticeable chunk of entity update time.

My thought on the rocket silo issue is that you could give them reduced power consumption or allow them to buffer more rockets at a time.

TBH what I want to see more of are intersections that take the possibility for elevated exits into account. Most of the current designs assume the entrances are always at ground level (which I know is partly necessary because the stations used for testing must be at ground level), but this is a ...
