It's not finding your optimal design. But the one intended design. And that's why both Gleba and quality are not very fun. Rather only okay.

Especially Gleba forces you a high speed, good throughput and plan ahead approach.
Lol. Gleba is the most versatile planet. It can be solved in so many ...

Can you point to ANY real world example, where low power/voltage for digital controls caused issues?

Why don't you google it? There are so many examples, that it is actually considered common knowledge. If you give 380V instead of 220V, you would see almost instant smoke and fire effects. If you ...

What are use cases for both suggestions?

Good post. Only problem is that everything about this topic, including math, designs for fuel flow control and mod to remove space drag, was already posted on this forum in the very first month after SA launch.

But if you happen to have leftover spoilage and don't need to craft like t3 efficiency modules or smth like that, turning it into nutrients is simply the best you can do with it. Or at least i consider it the best so far.

From my point of view, it is the worst you can do with spoilage. Spoilage ...

If you can't afford 101R$ for the game, how did you ever afford a computer to play the game on?

Well, there are different countries. And some countries can have really bad economic situation. I have lived in such country. My first official salary was around $70/month. At that time I couldn't ...

The total distance an item that spoils can travel on a yellow vs green belt is not even close in comparison.

Looks like pure manipulation. Yes, green is 60:15=4 times faster than yellow. However there is no sense to compare green to yellow, instead they should be compared to blue belts, which ...

It is not simple but quite possible.

This is exactly what I feel when playing not just in Gleba, but in Factorio 2.0. Most of the time, I try to find alternative solutions, even if extremely resource-inefficient, but more convenient to my gameplay, but I fail to do so.

It was stated before, but I can repeat: Gleba gives to players ...

The wiki tells me, foundry can't assemble holmium plates... Or can it?
https://wiki.factorio.com/Foundry

Wiki doesn't list it in among exclusive recipes, because it is not exclusive, but still mention it:
Additionally, the foundry can also make other foundries (but only on Vulcanus), all belt ...

Guys, why do you use AM3 instead of foundry for holmium plates?

There are multiple ways to kill a Demolisher, and turrets are not the best option.
Killing it with 20 turrets requires either uranium ammo or multiple damage and speed upgrades. If you have those, you can also kill it with a tank.
Try to start on Vulcanus, or at least get there early, and kill the ...

I tried getting into speedruns, and quit when I "concluded"/decided that the gains from the planets weren't really 'worth it' to aim for specific planets first or later. So while there is the choice of which order to go to planets, "it doesn't really matter". It would be fantastic if you could do ...

Definitely chance. Not so long ago I wanted opposite - to have nest very close to the starting point, and it have taken me dozens of seeds to get.

You have forgot the most important point - what interesting add your idea to gameplay. If it just add "realism", then it adds nothing.

It matters only in deathworld games, which are not for novice players.

You don't need a megabase. I don't know about you but I tend to have an average of a rocket every few seconds before finishing the inner planets.

One rocket is 1000 science packs. 2 rockets for Gleba, one per Vulcanus and Fulgora. So if someone have in average one rocket every 15 seconds it ...

Going through a few silos multiple times to pack requests into them more tightly probably doesn't matter in terms of UPS cost but doing so for hundreds or thousands of silos in my mind means doing all those extra steps for every single rocket silo, which i would imagine would result in hitting a ...

I may be wrong, but it looks like you're one of those funny people who aren’t aware of the already existing features of the Factorio mod management engine, yet ask for new ones that are actually inferior to what’s already available.
Except for the blacklist — everything else can easily be done with ...
