Suggestion:

When input flow increases, wait for a small amount of time: a constant * number of pipes to the segment. Yes it would mean closer consumers have to wait equally long as those far away, but I bet it'd feel natural. (And player can fine control with pumps)

So happy for these changes, especially being able to completely configure modules!



I always walk around the planets like this:
N (satellite view), and then a keyboard shortcut for the labels I created - and there I already select the label / planet I need, and it turns out just two actions

You ...

Please implement this

Bump! Please can this indicator be done for 1.0?

Zooming out the map with the '-' shortcut key *zooms* out way too fast to be useful.

Resetting the in-game zoom to 100% with the shortcut 'F9' is very slow and stutters.

TL;DR
Show visually when a miner has no more ore left.

What ?
When a miner has no ore left to dig up, either switch over to a "finished" animation, or show a new alert icon.

Why ?
It's hard to tell the difference between a miner that's waiting for belt space and a miner that has no work left.

The blueprint library button will be disabled until bots are researched or until any item is added to the library for the first time.
Please make this configurable, I'd like to be able to access my blueprints before bots.

I agree with the tree layout proposal. At very least, make a working ...

The main thing holding back real life construction bots and a lot of future technology is terrible battery capacity. If battery life were to double tomorrow, we'd have industrial drones I think.

Stone does appear on the map but visually looks almost the same color as iron.

Large rocks give about 20 stone, you could as a group sweep the area and net a few k worth, enough to get the means to travel...

TCP is a protocol designed for file transfer and is poorly suited to games. I won't go into details - there are plenty of publications about it - use of TCP in a game project tends to go the same way as p2p does:

"TCP is so much easier and robust, we'll just use that."

Months of unexplained bugs ...

I can already foresee similar problems that you currently face with the new setup....you have solved nothing. You state prior that you took the inputs of the other clients through the server and routed them, but fail to see that's exactly what you are doing in the 1+2+3 model....you are still just ...

Storage is good. But use the stack limit filter or you'll end up with mountains of junk you can't use

Try this: disconnect the track to that station and tell it to go iron unload. If there's something wrong with your layout you'll get the no-path message. If it makes it to the other stations then that confirms it's an issue with the game.

I like this idea a lot!

Getting one of these two error messages seemingly at random:
Error MainLoop.cpp:372: Exception at tick ...: Resource amount has to be larger than 0.
Error MainLoop.cpp:372: Exception at tick ...: Resource amount too big.

Science pack 3 as it stands is the chore you have to do to unlock the second half of the game.

To kill the aliens you need to take out the spawners effectively. Pushing ahead with turrets alone will only get you so far. You can use the tank with regular-shells to destroy spawners in two shots and drive around picking them off, when your health gets too low then it's time to retreat to the ...

The rocket is adequately difficult to build, I think! Check out the ion cannon satellite mod, it makes building rockets very satisfying!

Why do inserters prefer the far side of the belt instead of the near side? Is it aesthetic? A technical reason?

I am fine with how they work, I've just been wondering this for a while.
