I really like Construction Drones. They're pretty OP, such that the first personal bots you get aren't as good as they are. However, once you get some upgrades construction bots beat out drones.

I don't think I'd ever start a game again without day-one bots/drones/etc.

The only autonomous vehicles in this game are trains that can't wander off the rails and robots that always go straight at their target.

My guess is you're talking about bots, and your logistic network is too big and/or you don't have good roboport coverage.

I went for the "Lazy Bastard" achievement one time, and ever since then I've had no trouble making sure everything is automated.

Someone plays Rimworld.

I do a fairly bad job of explaining it all in one of my videos, but I do get 3 things exactly right: What the ratios are (roughly 8 refineries, 2 heavy cracking, and 7 light cracking is an imperfect ratio but is very good for a first stab) How you can tell what the ratios are from the information in...

Kill them.

I've honestly never used the PFR. I don't even know how it works. You put it in your armor and it creates power for free forever. It is exactly like the solar panels but it works all the time and is bigger. I'm a bit surprised you happily run your personal roboport on solar and batteries. Even in p...

GOG never gets updates quickly. It's the one and only reason I don't buy games from their otherwise really nice service.

I bought FTL from them. Then I bought it again on Steam because I was sick of waiting for updates.

Reasons for my votes, which match for the most part the most popular answers. I always user the Personal Fusion Generator. Obviously, I don't use it until I've unlocked it. But I tend to rush it and when I get it, those portable solar panels go in the trash bin. I prefer to not have to think about p...

And belts, which run forever for free. IMHO, belts should require power. I'd actually like to try a version of Factorio where belts needed power. And offshore pumps, maybe allow a tiny flow handwaved as surface tension, just enough to slowly start a steam engine that can then power the pump. Or giv...

It's not a matter of realism, it's a matter of consistency. Everything in the game adheres to the laws of the conservation of matter and energy, except in this one occasion. Except science packs, that cram furnaces and walls and train tracks into little packages that then vanish forever to be turne...

It's a very good game. It's like Factorio enough to scratch that itch, but different enough to give a new experience. The spherical surface and 3D building options give new opportunities and challenges. There are inherent construction and logistic puzzles just like in Factorio. You can't really do a...

I support every one of these suggestions.

Except "keep it the same."

The VERY FIRST thing I did with my Spidertron, once I unlocked it, was to install the mod that gives you more Spidertrons. Like literally. I got in, saw the equipment grid, laughed, and exited the game to check for mods.

I've always thought it was weird that the only thing in the game that crafts at the default crafting speed was the one thing the entire game is built around not crafting with.

But as to how fast things actually craft I don't think there's any imbalance between assemblers.

I would say this is the point, where we need a modder, that implements it somehow and then we will see. Imho if there would be a need for this mod there would be one already. Then no more mods should be required for the game as if anybody wanted it it'd already have been written. To have a mod, som...

Ooooh I wanna play. I have many of yours (and will have a couple more soon) and also think these fall in the category.

I'd rather be able to click a rail and say "signal this segment for length-3 trains" and have it just slap the signals down. Or ghosts of them more reasonably.

You can't assign tens of thousands of jobs and expect the game to keep up. Let your poor bots finish a blueprint before you slap down another. Or another dozen.

I've found that having exactly as many trains as you do slots keeps all stations full and all trains waiting as expected. So if you have 4 mining outpost stations, each with 2 trains, and 1 big smelting area with 3 stations each with 2 trains, that's 4*2+3*2=8+6=14 trains. Most of them will be idle ...
