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 ...

I'm sure the biters will deeply appreciate your theoretical arguments, take them into consideration, and maybe even apologize for showing up 200 strong instead of the regulation 50.

But if i add the quality modules 20% of each craft fluctuats so both belts now take turns backing up and being completely empty for a while...
If only there was a way that you could take the most spoiled items out of a chest.

If you see such fluctuations then chests will be regularly emptied ...

Pollution "Attack cost modifier" is 50% (DW) and 80% (DWM)
-> This means, that less pollution is consumed to spawn a biter for an attack group in Deathworld. Similar pollution amount leads to bigger or more attacks.

Just of curiosity have started the same seed with DWM and DW, placed the same ...

Deathworld Marathon is just a x4 research cost multiplier with easier enemies than Deathworld. Unlike in 1.1 where it was true hell with the expensive recipes on top.

If the enemies are easier... why is it called "Deathworld"? Wouldn't they have called it "Niceworld" instead?
The description ...

you mean force people to play in a certain way?

Lol, exactly opposite. Instead of just one choice - to buffer or not to buffer - Gleba pushes players to choose between plenty ways to handle it.

people hate that planet because of how annoying it is.

Some people hate it, others love it. Some ...

I have not tried marathon, only regular deathworld and I do not understand why artillery was a gamechanger for you. Usually deathworld just add one hour of early game and have minimal impact later. If you can travel space then hard part is long over. There are plenty of ways to kill all nests in ...

Actually you can do this even without circuits. Plant plants manually at desirable time interval and tower will gather and plant them as they grow. Do not want to do manual work? Then setup circuits timers to turn tower on/off at desired interval. Also you may read number of fruits on belt, which ...

basic factory cost for Electronic Cricuit is 280ore, while Bioflux is 3Egg+462.5ore
LoL. Then Vulcanus is a god of difficulty, because by your brilliant method you need to add cost of 4 foundries. Do not forget to add cost of whole oil setup, necessary to get lubricant for crafting these foundries ...

1F=6jelly(with biochamber)=15% iron ore(with biochamber), 1/0.15 ~=6.67 , that is 6.67F pre ore, How you get that 0.26F?
This is recipe to kickstart iron bacteria production in case it was stopped by whatever reason. Once you have got your first bacteria, you stop this recipe and switch to main ...

In gleba , it is better to just use Fruit(F) as unit, in vanilla so it is 15F->Iron Ore, it is really terrible, Bioflux aka LDS of Gleba is just 2.5F ! so I thoughtit 2.5F will be a much fair price .

What? In vanilla without modules it costs 0.26 fruit per iron ore and 1.21 fruit per bioflux ...

Presets are for novice players. If some veteran player needs more challenge then he can adjust sliders manually, use mods, do speedrun, etc.

I've already given them; earlier unlock, simpler to set up, no need for interplanetary supply lines, self-contained on Nauvis, can easily be integrated into existing tech tree.

earlier unlock - earlier than what? The recipes "nutrients from spoilage" and "nutrients from bioflux" work on Nauvis ...

finally fixing Gleba's biggest problem.

Biggest problem with Gleba are players, doing their first SA run. And I do not see how your suggestion can fix it. Gleba already has the best prizes of three planets. Adding one more, especially so minor one, will not change anything.

Right now ...

That is highly flawed logic. By that thinking, players have to set up a production chain to fuel smelters with coal and ore, so alternative production methods (Foundries, Electric Furnaces) are unnecessary and should be removed so players don't feel they have to dismantle their chain.

But that ...
