In most cases, using quality-5 machines only makes the craft go faster, so a quality-5 biochamber will count the same as two and a half quality-1 biochambers.

In the mid-game, I don't need higher-quality machines. I just make sure the defense perimeters are ready and then forget about Gleba.
On ...

I am targeting 600 Gleba science value per minute in all scenarios so that it makes for easy normalized comparisons between quality-1, quality-2, quality-3, and quality-5. I am primarily using baseline module tier-2 because that is when I am most likely to do a second round of expanding up to 600 ...

I will reiterate my point in a shorter form.


No-quality build: Harvest enough material for 1k Gleba science packs to make 1k Gleba Science value worth of science packs.
quality-2 build: Harvest enough material for 4k Gleba science packs to make 1k Gleba Science Value worth of science packs ...

I've seen the occasional game give you a button that would open your save file directory in your default file browser. Then you could use that to manage your save files in whatever way you see fit, rather than asking the devs to reinvent their own in-game file browser.

Copper cable already seems to be an excellent choice for an upcycling loop, and I haven't really even looked for a better way. Are better choices really something needed?

Don't forget, AFAIK, the main application at hand is making furnaces, not roads. And maybe military/production science.

Thanks for the report however I don’t believe we will be doing anything about this. The capture robot “reserves” the spawner by simulating that it will do 1000000 electric damage to the spawner. This prevents anything else from trying to shoot at the nest (turret or capture robot). By marking it ...

Petroleum products need coal liquification. As neither the boiler nor the heat exchanger works on a space platform, you can only do that via nuclear power. So you have to import nuclear fuel cells for that, making it nor entirely space based.

And for stone, you can space mine calcite, turn that ...

+1. Stone is a weirdly scarce resource everywhere except on Vulcanus. Are rocks really that rare a thing?


I never really thought about coming up with lore for it, but on first thought you could fill this with "stone" referring specifically to industrially useful kinds of rock, rather than ...

I just checked out that seed in 2.0.77.

With default settings, I also see no uranium on the preview.

However! If you turn off the water, you'll find that two uranium patches generate in the preview area, one not far to the northeast of the center and one near the center west edge of the preview ...

I don't understand why "never see legendary power armor MK I" is a bad thing.

And doesn't your same reasoning imply that everything should be accessible at the start of the game? Why should game progression for quality be removed when better inserters and assemblers are locked behind tech? Or even ...

Then you fed the nests a whopping 120 pollution while it was building up for an attack (a period that can last up to 10 minutes).

I would be surprised if this has anything to do with 2.1.x; the biter threat has always varied widely based on the specific map properties, and on how rapidly you ...

I think this is a significant improvement from before.
However I am not sure how feasible it is to cover your entire pollution cloud with active radars, when you DON'T put efficiency modules into everything.
I would love to see some screenshots of people who build big and wide early and how easy it ...

it could also speed up the game while engineer sleeps.
could be very usefull, instead of having the game run in background and waiting for stuff to finish.

To my knowledge the genre already has a problem with people treating production delays as things that have to be accepted rather than ...

The game as it was felt very balanced in this regard. On default settings, the aggression of the biters is well balanced versus your own aggression. The more aggressively you expand, the more aggressively they fight back.
I... would describe it almost the opposite: in 2.0.x, aggression lets you ...

One of the suggestions raised in that thread was that one should transfer ingredients or chunks instead, however for ships that do not pass these products through the hub this is non-preferred and would require significant redesign of ships for 5 minutes of use before that part of the ship is no ...

You guys are bringing up some conspiracy theories and YouTubers here. Actually, the removal of Space Casino and LDS Shuffle was discussed over a year ago on Reddit, and the developer made their final decision that both options would be removed in 2.1. YouTubers have nothing to do with it. This was ...

I strongly prefer the visual clarity over aesthetics: I really dislike this proposed change.

Regarding the aesthetics...

The stacks of ore look less like a pile of jumbled ore

It's not a pile of jumbled ore. It's an orderly collection of 8 separate stacks per belt tile.

What about the use case of not wanting items in the platform hub ?

For example, because a player has planned out the inventory space in the hub to have room for cargo, and wants to ensure that other items do not exceed the space allotted to them, such as when it receives an rocket filled in excess ...
