Re: Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs

Normal Quality only.
No more than twice the height as width.
No infinite researches.

Also no importants. Or at least no ammo imports, because nuclear.

Maybe use rule, must manufacture everything on ship, timer starts when asteroid collecters are activated (force disable until ready to start timer)

Re: Quality Fruit From Quality Seeds


Or make quality seeds just grow faster, can be simplified to plants start with a certain amount of growth already based on quality. (To match the 30% bonus per tier, it would be uncommon -> legendary as skipping these amount of growth progress: 23/37.5/48/60)

O_O I like that. Along side a faster ...

Re: Quality Fruit From Quality Seeds

Could make it so that the yield partly benefits. Like legendary seeds yield normal fruit, but though a 100% quality boost so 90% uncommon, 9% rare, etc.

25% boost per quality tier.

Hover highlight Agritowers, Cultivation Count

TL;DR
When you have an agri tower selected, or hover over it, enable the agricultural overlay for all agritowers. Additionally, show how many farm plots are covered.

Force Stack Inserter Filter (Whitelist)

TL;DR
Make stack inserters locked to a single whitelist.

What?
When you place a stack inserter, it is set to filter, with whitelist, and a single slot. You cannot change this setting.


Why?
Stack inserters always require a full stack of a single item to place it on a belt. As this is not ...

Re: Ability to craft lower quality with higher quality

Sounds about right. Same way productivity is the same, however you distribute it. Except in the costs of the modules themselves, so certain steps are better.

Re: Ability to craft lower quality with higher quality

Hmm. If quality was unlocked only on fulgora, then since you get the recycler there you have the built in void option. Honestly, given the surprise 500 science price, it feels like it was intended to have an extra prerequisite anyway, and putting it on fulgora makes sense.

If it was unlocked on ...

Send water barrels into orbit. But really, you get enough ice to start moving, and the ice picks up fast enough once you do.

Re: Items held by the inserters shouldn't spoil.

Kinda like trying to use burner inserters for everything in that way.

I think this is abusable though. Instead, if an inserter has something spoil while held, it places it in the target machine's trash slot, like when recipes are changed. Only for just now spoiled stuff, so it won't grab spoilage ...

Re: Ability to craft lower quality with higher quality



My only concern with it is that it demands quality to handle quality. So you'd still have the starter stage of dumping all stuff of quality into a chest until you get the downbinners of quality which would let you streamline the process.

Re: Ability to craft lower quality with higher quality

Such an inline machine might be set to specifically downgrade to its own quality. So if it is uncommon anything drops to uncommon. Would prevent any settings from being required.

Re: Ability to craft lower quality with higher quality

Dunno. I saw 1% quality vs 4% productivity and a 5% penalty and assumed it was only useful if you are already buffing quality everywhere universally, or shipping from another planet.

I can justify it for green potions tho. But only because all components are immune to productivity. Or rather ...

Re: Ability to craft lower quality with higher quality

Yea. That was the idea. Admittedly I think speed modules fall behind on their quality penalty as tier and quality improve, but using more beacons probably counters that.

Massively janky and still probably easier to filter out and void the excess. Plus you have to be proactive in ...

So a brick of gun turrets seems like the trivial solution. Set up a military assembly mall and was going to try everything, but a brick of 100 gun turrets with piercing ammo was the first solution that worked. Kinda anticlimactic and disappointing, because that this practically turret creeping ...

Re: Ability to craft lower quality with higher quality

Can quality modules be put in beacons? I just realized that you might be able to use that weird thing where inserters can add or remove modules from beacons.

Or speed modules, to cancel out the quality boost.


Still a complex solution, but it just occured to me lol.

I feel that this kind of change would trivialize the quality mechanics and make it OP.
Even in ealy game, you would just end up putting quality module everywhere, keep only rare and have imediately a full mall of rare items, rare power amor, rare modules, etc.

Quality is very powerful, but has ...

Actually, framed like that, I think that is a far better solution. Admittedly, it would not work for direct insertion still, but I can easily visualize a way to handle it, filter out what I need, accept the excess being downbinned.

Re: Ability to craft lower quality with higher quality

That will be mildly helpful, but without mixed quality recipes, will still easily result in jamming.

You will just fill up with varying qualities, but for any recipie with multiple components, you still need a perfect match for a craft to occur.

My idea is to allow any combination of raw ...
