Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts

I've skimmed the crazy number of messages that have appeared since this FFFs posting so recently. Just wanted to put my two cents in as well. I don't like the bots, I don't use them. Others like them, they use them. WORST CASE, you remove them and had an official mod for the game that keeps them in....

Re: Friday Facts #214 - Concrete rendering

And being under the entities rather than over them it doesn't feel in the way like a superposed grid does. Oooh, can we do that to the grid? I'd leave it on if it was under the entities. And, I'll agree similar with others, that the art is *gorgeous*, but it's not very concrete like. New tile-types...

Re: Challenge: Build the fastest glider (and win something!)

I love the idea of this contest, but I fear it won't get many entries. Seems to me that minimizing the number of buildings wins, and you've got a pretty small number of pieces as-is. But I look forward to seeing other entries nonetheless. I think I'd rather see gliders with different purposes (scout...

Re: Friday Facts #169 - Combat revisit 2

When picking up a tower, you get back the raw materials instead of the turret. That would probably just make early game more annoying, and lategame just carry more turrets. I know it's not a number tweak, but my random idea would be adding a new mob/adding functionality to existing mobs. What if la...

Since they cars can be loaded/unloaded while moving, you could invest in just fully populating the belt with cars.
