100% seconded. I'm on Aquilo now and every single frozen icon is redundant because you can *see* it's not working from all the snow. It's like having a warning icon for "machine not working" when the indicator for that is the machine animation itself.

TL;DR
Increase Biolab animation framerate cap to prevent choppiness


What?
The Biolab animation speed is static and does not increase with crafting speed. The default value is low enough to be choppy and it has a lower framerate than other buildings.

I didn't mention this since I believe thruster stacking is an exploit, and such designs are even more egregious

The issue is that currently, the optimal shape is a vertical line.

By making mass more important, it allows for other shapes, such as triangles, or irregular organic shapes.

This design has a very low mass but a wide scoop up front to get asteroids. Despite it being a ...

TL;DR
Platform top speed should have a higher dependency on mass to discourage "cigar" ships.


What?
Currently, mass has a disproportionately small effect on platform speed when compared to width. This encourages the use of "cigar" ships, which are extremely long and thin but potentially very ...
