I also would like this

ok buddy, when you even attempt to make a UPS optimal prom ship, get back to me


I understand you don't want to argue, but the nature of your dismissal just goes to show that you easily consider the matter very niche and requiring expertise, only valid in a precise scenario, the UPS ...

ok buddy, when you make a UPS optimal prom ship, get back to me


When i look at the ship you posted on reddit, it doesn't feature the second layer of low quality railgun designed to pierce thru the higher quality level of railguns in case an huge asteroid isn't destroyed : https://www.reddit ...

I see the same: dozen of hours and 20 round trips without any damage, then suddenly one hit with my much smaller prom ship as well, but I was never able to see the reason.
When I switched to the platform one second after the alert, there was no asteroid any more, so it wasn't a huge asteroid ...

If my ship was getting destroyed all the time and couldn't even survive one roundtrip, I'd agree with you. This specific one had done dozens of runs and survived. It had killed a total of >7 million huge asteroids before one, out of luck, managed to do catastrophic damage. Most likely, if your ...

true, also it doesn't help that it seems talking to the developers directly seems to have achieved more in my experience than using the forums which they say we should use :shock:

You likely are gone and will never come back to this. I read this whole exchange and I really feel for you. Great ...

Ok I have another savefile that starts earlier before the issue happens:


This is again regarding the blue/purple science inserter in the middle of the screen
3911 ticks after loading the savefile, it picks up blue science
4166 ticks after loading the savefile (+255 ticks from 3911), it picks up ...

EDIT: Boskid let me know this first savefile is not helpful, so please check out my 2nd post in this thread for another savefile

9 ticks after loading the savefile (1 tick after what's shown in the image below), the yellow circled inserter in the image will not pickup 4 chemical science packs, even ...

this reddit thread and my comments to the OP and his responses explained it quite well for me

With the output full, the assembler won't do anything anyway. Removing the spoilage from the input slot will result in more Yumako being loaded, but nothing done with it, and it will just spoil, so I don't see any benefit of changing the current behaviour.


then why not block the nutrient slot ...

+1, very relevant for prom ships too

Wouldn't it be better if the code changed so that input slot spoilage could be moved to the trash slot anyway even if the output is not free?

The outserter for spoilage will only remove spoiled nutrients, but not spoiled yumako mash from this biochamber, unless the carbon fiber in the output is completely emptied. I currently have the outserter for carbon fiber to enable only if there is 16+ carbon fiber in the biochamber. I assume it ...

Every fluid recipe has internal fluid buffers for both inputs and outputs.

For example, for molten copper from lava, the internal input buffer for lava is 2x the recipe (500 lava per craft, so 2x500=1000), and also 2x the recipe for the molten copper internal output buffer.

I think its whenever 2+ ships are requesting the same item, even if request is fulfilled on some of them (and guessing it has to do with the bugfix regarding negative orbital request amounts), the rocket silos will take longer to launch.

Examples in the savefile are the gleba (agricultural science ...

Lots of stuff, nice but this "broke" rocket silo throughput a lot.

If there is a request in orbit and the rocket is full (at least from direct insertion) it will wait ~5 seconds, instead of being insta-launched. This breaks a lot in my base


Mine don't auto launch at all. The silos request ...
