starting in a desert, or starting on a map where oil is miles away.

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

As someone that started in a giant desert on my first playthough, the biters launched way larger attacks than a new player (or in my case a few new ...

I would think that simply making locomotives and cargo wagons be boosted by quality might be enough.

For something specific that high discharge rate would get in the way of....

On the Steam forums, someone developed an uninterruptable power supply: they added logic to a solar farm that ensured it would never deliver more power than it was rated for, so that during the night your factory can ...

To better illustrate the problem assuming you are using some sort of 500 degree steam power (heating tower, nuclear, etc.):
one tank and a steam turbine (normal quality) can hold ~2.5GJ (~80 legendary accumulators) and has a max output of ~5.8MW (~8 legendary accumulators)

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 ...

And as mentionned by others, why not just make more rockets? Why does it matter if there are extra parts in your platform? They'll be there when you decide to expand it, or to repair any damage from incidents.

Because 99.99% of players do not play till they have megabases with thousands of ...

Why:

Building rockets is a painful process. More often than not, a rocket design doesn't require exactly a multiple of (e.g.) 100 belts. This means that components need to be loaded and launched manually.

Rockets, once you get to the midgame, are relevantly cheap so a suboptimal algorithm being ...

This is a cool concept. I am not sure why the legendary module should give the same chance for everything though?

I am wondering why, if this would be a tick box anyway, this should be in the base game and not a mod?

Did I mentioned that some of the devs have gambling addiction? this is why i mentioned the seeds. The people with gambling addiction don't get that people do NOT want to gamble, they want quality, not gambling for them. Every last non space age overhaul showed this over and over again. What we got ...

I think AI has butchered your article. You keep saying getting rid of gambling. But what you propose seems... identical to the current "gambling" mechanism. It's not the grammar, it's the main content AI has removed.

I think the idea is to move from 1% chance to upgrade items to every 100 items ...

This suggestion seems to remove a lot of the challenge of quality. It might be an interesting mod to try out but I don't see why it should be in the base game.

Technically we have one (legendary rocket turret). It's just super impractical.

It never occurred to me but yeah. +1 for theme

I think the issue is that thematically stack inserters fit better with Vulcanus and green belts better with Gleba, but Gleba's biggest draw (from a gameplay perspective) is that it has the best rewards of the inner planets: biolabs, stack inserters, prod 3, epic quality, etc. Just moving turbo belts ...

This is not a good idea, since it can break set ups that rely on the logistics area being a specific size. It would turn higher quality roboports from being a simple drop in replacement to one where you have to adjust the build to make sure that areas that are supposed to be disconnected stay that ...

Rseding91 mentioned in another post on something similar that this won't happen for performance reasons.



Would be a better solution to force bots to follow roboports during travel? Like if there is a port nearby then that area is considered safe and being allowed for bots to fly over. In other ...

The only use I could find is making quality soil to slightly improve biter egg upcycling.

Thanks for the explanation.

Attached are the save file along with a recording. Something about the reproduction steps I sent is probably wrong.
