Ha, it's so cool, I can't wait to expand my train network!

The new rail-building looks very awesome! I do have one question though... why do you pause the construction at some point in the center and not just drag the rail to connect to the endpoint right away? Edit: Did I see correctly, that there's no more curved rails? The tooltip only showed the straigh...

The new smoke graphics look totally awesome!

By the way... is there anything planned, like making the light sources (furnaces, boilers, ...) "shine through" a bit more?

Steel furnaces have an advantage over Electric furnaces, unless you are running the Electric ones on coal. As long as you are boiler dependent, you lose 50% of all energy, since boilers have an efficiency of 50% - Steel furnaces operate at 100%. That means, since Steel and Electric (without modules)...

I made a similar suggestion a while back... I believe a hotkey for sorting would solve the need of turning autosort off and on in the options and clicking around a lot, but I ended up using the toolbelt slots to split up my item stacks, if needed Not sure how, but I somehow got used to that^^

Try running it as administrator. Might sound stupid, but it fixed the problem for me.

I'd like to second this idea, even if I don't care as much for the delayed movement directly, as I do care about the inability in multiplayer to hold down the mine key to retrieve e.g. a lot of conveyor belts in a line. Currently, it leaves a lot of gaps, since the character seems to walk about one ...

Interesting post you linked me to, thanks for that - however, in comparison to my post, you simply suggested "coloring areas" (which seems to be quite meta, compared to actual tools) and signs (which weren't really the point of my post). Feel free to add my suggestion to your list, though ;)

I had this idea looming in my head for a while now, but now with multiplayer added, it seems to be even more useful - a marker in order to show other players various things, e.g. "Can you get the copper ore over *there*, please?" No matter, how much I circled with my mouse on my screen (an...

That's actually a cool idea... similar to each power network creating input / output graphs, a liquid "network" could do the same. You could find out that there's a shortage of e.g. oil (because the pumpjacks are running low), or that there's a shortage of gas, so the player would need to ...

I just believe that this hidden effectivity of 50% within the boilers breaks the balance between burner furnaces and their electric equivalent, as long as you produce electricity with fuel - but that has been discussed already. As soon as fuel is less abundant, alternative energy sources are needed ...

I would have used the feature of drag-splitting quite a lot of times myself, but I do understand that it's probably not worth the hassle of implementing it into the current system. I still would prefer the autosort feature to be toggled from within the UI rather than browsing the options menu - afte...

I can only second that statement - there are definitely too many lossless burners, so why make the boiler waste half the fuel?

@Khyron: Thanks for the clarification. My personal opinion is still that the step stone->steel is way larger than steel->electric, but I should trust the developers, rather than question them :oops: @Gammro: When I said that the effectivity couldn't be at 100%, I meant that the amount of work needed...

I think you've just pointed out the most compelling reason why not to make this change. Yes and no - yes, because it *is* more confusing to have different coal consumption than expected and no, because boilers already do consume coal at a different rate. You are missing something :) Mainly I think ...

I doubt that it would cause too much lag... Not being able to see the whole list is rather an issue, but as far as I know, this is being worked on already. :) You can view the contents of the chests without noticable lag, the only difference with the arrows would be, that a past state needs to be sa...

My current approach is almost identical to what you posted, the only difference being more clicks vs. lower accuracy. The goal would be less clicks and maximum accuracy at the same time :) It's not only about bullets and turrets. It was merely an example. The very same thing applies to laboratories ...

Hi! Browsing through the wiki (as well as the .lua files), I came to the conclusion that the effectivity of electric devices is always at 100% - they drain exactly the amount as stated. This might be great for looking at the tooltip and knowing immediately, how long your energy will last, how high t...

... the autosort checkbox would be easier to reach, if it was placed directly on the UI, rather than "hidden" within the option menu. Yes, I am aware of this option. I find it hard to reach though, and I'd like to toggle it on/off whenever I want to split a stack. In fact, I'd rather keep...

Unless base two has a significant advantage on filesize / RAM (such that 256 different values can be stored in a single byte only, rather than the 4(?) bytes of an unsigned int ranging up to almost 4.2 billion - so stack sizes won't really matter, since most players probably have yet to harvest 4.2 ...
