A per pipeline volume limit maybe? It could work like pipeline extents where if you go equal/over the pipeline is disabled and can't accept any more until you go back below. The game knows what the pipeline volume is since you can read the full contents right?
This would also include storage tanks ...

Maybe there could be a way to do something like this? Both producers and consumers need to be separated into blocks as large as the pipe capacity can allow. Imagine multiple pumps in each pumping station and maybe also that there's multiple blue pipes running in parallel.

Could it be possible to make the alert also trigger if the scan updates a chunk and finds that new bases have since been added?

TLDR:
When walls are open railguns should be able to shoot through those tiles without damaging the walls.

Why?
Since walls can be toggled with the signal network, this would allow railguns (and hopefully any team-damaging turrets added by mods, such as some cannon turret ones) to be implemented in ...

Any chances a change to Demolishers so they will only target working machinery could be considered? Being able to run rails and power lines over worm country would allow for a lot of varied and fun factory designs on Vulcanus.

On a similar topic, could the sliders in the map generator get another look before eod? I'd love text input but even just tweaking which % are available and how many notches there are would be nice. I'd love sub 17% on some resource sliders for example, or 1000% scale for the water generation on ...

The narration retreads what the visuals are already doing - that Fulgora has lightning, Vulcanus has lava, and Gleba has pentapods.

Exactly my issue. I don't want a talking trailer when the main trailer showed how much better a mute one can be, but if you have to have speech at least write an ...

I'm not a fan of the narration, this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8SBp4SyvLc and it's iterations click much better. And the narration flatout saying the features of every planet instead of showing them and letting people be intrigued feels off too. We couldn't tell there's molten lava, strange ...

I don't think a high velocity entry is good for such a capricious design as a railgun. Could work for a coilgun though.

The railguns dropping shells like artillery is a cool detail but may be misplaced, they would use discarding sabots. But maybe the shell is just a matryoshka doll encasing the sabot encasing the bullet.

What you should be able to do is irrelevant, if it's possible at all to softlock yourself there someone is going to do it

You can already softlock yourself if you mine out your starting patches while all others have biters on them. You can softlock yourself before the game starts by setting ...

Can I give a suggestion? I absolutely adore the snowy graphics. I can see why rails don't freeze over as it would be annoying to run a heatpipe along the whole length of a rail line.
But imagine how cool it would look to have the rails freeze over visually even though they aren't affected ...

This is some great stuff, I always thought Gleba is the most interesting planet even if it's not the most optimal pick.
Now If you make the biochamber able to process chem plant recipes with bonus speed/prod, Gleba might actually be competitive with Vulcanus and Fulgora.
It feels like at the point ...

You said "Since the only reason you would build in it's territory is to kill it". But isn't a second reason to get the resources in its territory? That is what I am not understanding in your argument

The reason you're killing it is to get the resources. You have to kill the the ...

I'm confused by this post. You know, you have to kill the demolisher to access the mines. Or else the thing from the FFF will happen.

I have some thoughts and suggestions on the demolisher. I really hope someone reads these posts lol.

An issue I find with the demolisher is that interacting with it isn't very dynamic, it's just black and white. Either you build in it's territory and get attacked, or you don't and you don't. Since ...

Wormers? Spewers?

How is that better as a pollution type ? x)

It was joke, I put smiley faces on the end.

And yeah I can see them going with the EM pollution increasing storm power thing, but again that would be rather disappointing. Since you can 100% lightning proof a part of your factory with a lightning rod ...

Thunder !

How is thunder a pollution type? That's an environmental hazard, not something you produce...

I was thinking maybe cultural desecration pollution, robots getting angry at you ransacking the archaeological sites of their builders/victims :P :P
Or maybe anti-pollution? Since a lot of ...
