chart Total pollution / kills

TL;DR
Aggregate Pollution and kills statistics symbol to make high level tracking easier.


What?
Pollution and kills statistics screens to contain an extra symbol to track total produced / kills and consumed / deaths respectively.
This would act like the extra science symbol on the items ...

create a demolisher entity with quality

currently when making a new demolisher entity via create_entity the quality parameter is not valid for that type of entity.

i haven't figured out if i can yet make a demolisher for a territory yet, im guessing possibly not.

My goal is to be able to analysis the spawned demolisher for a territory ...

Re: [2.0.14] Add more ways for quality to affect items


Any potential changes always have to keep performance in mind. It's extremely unlikely we would implement a system for mods to use that will negatively impact the entire base/space-age game performance when not used by mods.

The more variability the system allows the more memory indirection ...

Re: [2.0.12] Demolisher API (territories & spawning?)

i would also like a way to spawn demolishers with quality.

When you try to create entity by type with a quality property and its a demolisher it doesnt work and is an invalid luaEntity object while it does work with buildings / biter nests etc.

if i want to replace a demolisher with a new one ...

Re: Tanks & Cars remote control


In that case rampant should improve the personal defense drones so you can have a swarm of high-damage drones around your tank.

What if rampant significantly buffed them, but reduced their duration by a lot, so you can have a death swarm in the early game for clearing out nests, but it'll cost ...

Re: Tanks & Cars remote control


If vehicles are useless in Rampant, that seems more like a balance issue that should be addressed via the mod, rather than simply making them auto-drive capable.

I feel like Rampant would do well to allow multiple tiers of each vehicle type, which get better over time, and allowing the earlier ...

TL;DR

Tank's and Car's can be controlled with the same device spidertrons are controlled with, they also will auto fire the cannon and machine guns.

Re: Rework pumpjack expected resources value



You can measure throughput by wiring up the belts carrying the ore away from the patch or by observing the tightness of the belts.


Right, and I can see some use for that, but it is not what your suggestion provides for oil fields.

Your suggestion is to provide the maximum output rate, which ...

Re: Rework pumpjack expected resources value

I would find this very useful to know ahead of time when i need to take a new oil outpost for my base as a an early alert, instead of going "oh shit my tanks are emptying fast and triggered a < 80% alarm"
