Re: Space Age DLC is a Cash Grab - It Should’ve Been a Standalone Game
OK fine, I don't remember the name of the original planet. I feel like the mistake is fairly obvious yes?
I thought maybe you'd added a mod that added biters to Fulgora, and then forgot it was a mod. (Though confusing the names of Nauvis and Fulgora also makes sense.) So it wasn't necessarily ...

Re: No dynamic train refueling yet?
There are mods that do that, but I must have missed that FFF.
I also prefer decentralized train-based factories. Ways I've handled this in Vanilla:
run yellow belts parallel to the tracks, topping off fuel at each station

Re: Handling 7 Science Paks
I create a double-loop of two belts, put labs around this, and another two loops around the outside. Each side of each lab has one regular and one long inserter feeding into it; I put each type of science pack on one lane of one of the belt loops.

The fact that you're asking about it here indicates that you want to be talked into buying it :).

Re: Lategame mining options are lacking
Sounds like I should make an RPG game that focuses on you, the engineer, who just wants to design perfect little things and is constantly interrupted by NPC bosses giving you tasks and whatnot. Maybe the first token quest can be "Sign the Birthday Card and Pass to Next Person" ;)

Re: Challenge - Win the game without moving...
there is a mod that does it, you dont even appear as player that can move around and you cant pickup and place machines. It looks like you are in god mode and by using WASD you only move the camera as you would in map view. So you dont need an island spawn
You get some bots and roboports from ...

I've never been a fan of the central bus. Instead, I have a decentralized system where separate modular areas have inputs/outputs delivered/retrieved by train.

Re: Whats the stance on griefing ?
Evidence? you mean theory, because evidence would imply you actually had A thing or things helpful in forming a conclusion or judgment,
There's no proof, certainly. But this is the subjective impression that you've been making on more than one person. If it's false, you might want to look at ...

Sounds appropriate considering the world was also supposed to end today.

Re: BUG: Clicking on screenshot thumbnail doesn't expand them
Another part of the problem is, that I was tasked with the mod portal despite not being a web developer and I really don't want to deal with all this stuff unless I absolutely have to - like fixing critical bugs. If we don't find someone else to do it, I will probably eventually get to it.

Re: [0.13] Allow mods to be tagged with 3 tags
If only one is going to be allowed, it should be called "folder" or "classification" or "category". The term "tag" inherently implies that multiple are allowed.

Re: Careful of MODS!
I thought most mods needed to be on both the server and the client to work right in MP? Which would mean that no matter how well a mod works in multiplayer generally, it will still break the game when you're trying to use it on a server that doesn't have it? Otherwise, people on the same server ...

Re: Missing item in 0.13 changelog
Do we know if they still need to be able to path to an area to migrate there-- i.e. will a wall prevent migration across it (at least, unless they are provoked by pollution or the player to attack it)?
