Re: Place all damaged objects first when dragging

Please no, when I'm dropping walls while building a defense perimeter while under attack the last thing I want is the about dead wall in my inventory to be placed down.

Maybe with a hotkey.

Re: Safe Rail Crossing

Love the idea and your model of how you think they should work is spot on. In reality it should be pretty simple to implement (simple is relative to how complex other parts of the game are)

Re: Logistic network priority

Latest with 0.13 you can put the power supply of the labs to a separate network and switch that in/off as you like. Turning lab power on/off doesn't really have much to do with logistics network priority. You are still going to end up with those resources being sent to those requestor chest while t...

Re: Cargo wagons need more slots

If you do your signaling correctly at intersections you only get slowdowns / stoppages if the trains physically cross the same track. While this is true, it only works well with small nimble trains that can handle stopping multiple times. Larger trains suffer greatly at a crossing, and many crossin...

Re: Cargo wagons need more slots

The biggest weak point of the train system are the intersections. Large numbers of trains have to stop at a crossway, which cripples their speed and is only really viable for small nimble trains. If a large train has to stop, you lose a ton of time and fuel as it has to pick up speed again, never m...

Re: Continents

I would love this to be the case. Separate continents would be great, massive shipyards to move products form one to the other etc.

Re: Logistic network priority

I totally agree with this suggestion. Prioritizing items makes so much sense. I have 3 production lines, First line is for Item X that when I need it I need that item to take priority over other, say ammo for turrets. 2nd line makes Turrets, not as important as making more ammo but when I need them ...

Re: Evolution and turrests

Absurd firepower matters for high biter settings, where the map turns into a solid wall of red. The player can definitely shotgun his way through the 1-5 nest clusters that normal settings produce. Higher settings have you face 20, 50 or more nests at the same time. Overall the map settings aren't ...

Re: Friday Facts #91 - Being the evil guy

Sucks that you are having to push features back, but at least you aren't dropping them. I do know myself and many others are very (im)patiently waiting for the 0.12 performance improvements. Really hard getting my 1 RDP / Min base going with the current model.

As always thanks for the update!!!

Re: Cargo wagons need more slots

I like the limit on the train car size. Moving product should take more space than storing it. If train cars are too large it can make moving product too trivial, too small and everything becomes a pain. At this time it feels about right to me.

Re: Wood and coal fuel should yield less power and top speed

Isn't this handled just be increasing / decreasing the burn time of the fuels? Currently wood has less total power output then coal etc. So essentially are they already doing what you are asking?

Re: Friday Facts #89 Timetables

Why is there all this about gun turrets being so bad? It take 1/2 as many guns as lasers to hold a wall. They annihilate biters much faster than lasers. The only downside is they take ammo, but beyond that the guns are great and work very well. Balance out power issues and the lasers are taken care ...

Re: is effectivity module op?

Re: is effectivity module op?

Why efficiency modules are not overpowered. Solar power is free, solar power is infinite, lasers turrets are powered for free , power is free. Thus biters and pollution don't matter. Power is irrelevant in this game due to free solar energy and thus anything dealing with it doesn't matter. Now runni...

There's been a blueprint sharing/saving mod for many months now. Dunno if it's currently updated, but it's what I keep hearing people complain that they want in-game. Mods are nice and all, but I like many players in the game see this as a core feature that should be in the base game. At this point...
