You will probably need to mod in a barge to land it on.

Yeah I can. Watch me!

I think a more reasonable thing is to assume that time is sped up. If time is being sped up 200x for gameplay purposes (1 day = 7 minutes instead of 1440 minutes), we can multiply mass by 200 to get more realistic results. Not quite sure I follow - the calculations are all based on energy, which is...

This implies the stone furnace is wasting a bunch of energy, but we don't know how efficient the upgraded furnaces are either. If they are 100% efficient, 25.4 units of iron ore = 14.8 kg, or 1 unit = 0.58 kg. Actually, we have another data point. Electric furnaces with efficiency modules use 80% l...

A little more research is even more dangerous. If iron ore is between 50% and 70% iron, and the specific heat of (whatever the rest of the ore is that isn't iron) is similar to iron, you only get 50-70% yield from your smelting energy. Which puts your lump of iron pretty close to the ballpark of 1/3...

Are there any mods that allow you to export finished goods? I'm thinking something that assigns a market value to each product (possibly one which decreases as the quantity goes up, to encourage product variety). Then you could attempt to become a billionaire, and compete to become the top 0.1% of m...

Nice! Work! If i had to pick one of the features from the "what's next" list i'd pick being able to select train stations from the map. The current station selection window when setting up schedules is so tiny and shows only 5 stations at a time. With dozens of stations that quickly becom...

Tower creep can be discouraged by a 30 second boot up after building. They said they had decided not to do this in a FFF a month or so ago. My preference right now is run in with a flamer, spray all the nests, run out (requires shields and legs). You can kill the nests in a bunch of bases really fa...

Having the full RGB space to color is great, but if I'm honest it's a bit cumbersome to get the exact same numbers when i want the same color on two trains with different routes (i color them by cargo type, not by route). How about a selection of colors (16, maybe 32) with a button for "custom...

I agree. Let everyone build their (potentially unstable) setups, then have them all meltdown immediately after applying the next update

What's the object being removed from the reactor? It looks like an empty fuel container, but the nuclear fuel assembler looks like it only takes iron plates, so no refills. Or is it something more sinister like spent fuel rods?

What are the best mods for encouraging large train setups with lots of far-reaching outposts? Basically, replicating Zisteau's "Meiosis" series, but because it's the most efficient way to do things, not because he wanted an extra challenge ;) RSO seems to be the most commonly mentioned one...

Science: 100% agree. It always seemed silly that blue flasks were such a nightmare and purple ones were practically free (while at the same time being literally one of only 2 things in the game that couldn't be automated!). Of course, 90% of the nightmare was just getting oil production set up corre...

There are several saves that work fine that were created after the translation to 0.13.0 It's just the most recent 3 autosaves that are corrupted.

The game was originally from version 12, upgraded to 13.0 a few days before the crash.

I have a similar issue. The game crashes when I try to load any of the three autosaves. It displays the normal text "loading map _autosave2", the loading bar reaches full, and then it crashes. All other saves seem to work fine - sadly they are a few hours old :( The saves were created in 0...

Is anyone else hoping for a pipe upgrade that lets you place adjacent pipes without connecting them, to help out with tight refinery layouts?

If the goal here is to let belts compete with robots late game, I think the real solution is a nerf to bots. While belts take careful optimization of space and layout, bots just require you to built a bunch and then forget about any kind of base layout optimization, for one simple reason - they don'...
