Been using it for a while now. Found it on google somehow and just stumbled now on this topic...
Great work

TL;DR
Make autosaving smart.


What ?
Just as example on a 30 minute savingtime people join literaly 50% of the time 1 minute before the server safes its game due to 30 minute intervall.
Why cant the server just take the gamessave from the new player?
New player joins -> Game have to be saved ...

TL;DR
Add a overview about the last servers i joined online.


What ?
I suggest a ading a small overview on browsig public games to show the last servers i joined.

Heres a picture of how i think it coul look like:
last games.jpg

Somehow self explanatory. Show the name of last 3 to 5 Servers ...

Oh boy, i just finished my masterpiece 1200 science packs/m even military science! Aaaand its gone!
New challenges

As my refinerys where always of some online found blueprints it always growed to a mess as i had too less petrol or lube no space for growing and adding a 2nd layer resulted in 5 more piperows for water,crude, light, heavy and petrol which made a nice maze between train stations, storage tank and ...

Quick question:

Is there a UPS-up mod or similar avaliable for Version 16.X?
My base got pretty huge everything to reduce savegame sice and increase F/UPS is great

Just as i posted this radars discovered a Field with 20+ patches

Hey i made RSO spawn barely any ressourcepatches but those who spawn are huge and rich. But my oilfields only become like 3-6 patches with 1000%+ yield.

How i can modify RSO so i spawns huge fields? Or at least 20+ patches?

I didnt see any ingame modifiers for it.

I see many screenshoot around the Forum where smelter and factorys have a red/green dot in bottom left.
My guess is that it shows if its producing or not but i cant figure out the mod name...

I tested my previosly design from yesterday night and i couldlndt create any problems with the flow.

Backlog is no problem at all
If one belt have no items its waiting for them to arrive before supplying again
If one or both belts get slowed down teh system adapts to the slowest belt

However if ...

Found a solution where i didnt find a flaw yet but its already too late night for propper testing. It seems to work evem if one belt isnt fully saturated.

Top 2 Belts are set to read and hold.
Bottom 2 Belts are set to enable if green = 2
Decider Combinator read each items ...

Iam experimenting in circles :P didnt thought a seemingly simple tast would be so complex to manage.

Yeah reading belt contents and anly let one out at a time works fine with a splitter as long a si use both sides of a belt but as soon as i try to merge it on only one side the results arent as ...

Thanks man but i looked through that already. It isnt really balanced.

Edit: On a 2nd look they feed the blue belt with yellow belts. Seems liek a good idea but if one belt gets empty the other still unloads to the blue belt. Maybe there could be made a somehow working solution with a check if ...

For example to make engines i want one belt carrying pipes on one side and steel and iron gear wheels on the other side. Like this:

Since it needs 2 pipes and 1 wheel/ steel it would be a perfect ratio if i could make sure the one beltside is filled properly 50/50 with steel ...

iam pretty sure you wont get any answer you wil like. Every design has its dis/ advantages and i doubt thet the increased undergroundbeltlenght wil have a any noticable impact inbalancers. Just use anyone until you get to grasp teh system and make your own.

Thank you much.

Wew nice work!

Can you add a picture with the mainbus ?

Seems nice but i just wonder are 10 Assemblers on Red sience enough to supply 49 speed beaconiced research labs?
