Re: Ressources farther away: RSO or vanilla settings

I believe they plan to implement the ability to do this in vanilla in the future, but unfortunately for right now RSO is probably your best bet.

Awesome! Some good fixes here for sure. :D Especially the crafting timer one. Hopefully this is declared the stable build for 0.12. I can't wait for 0.13. Hehe

Re: Integrate thing sinto armor?

Yeah, late game you probably better off using decked out power armor and destroyer and Distractor capsules rather than the tank. The tank can technically still be good cause it provides a lot of durability, but is slow and can easily get surrounded and plus I think the power armor and combat bots me...

Re: Electricity SOS

Yup, make sure everything is connected properly first. It's possible that the accumulators just aren't getting charged enough to last through the night, or you don't enough of them, so part way through the night they run out of energy and then you get that warning symbol and no electricity. :p As ra...

Re: Yet another red/green lab build

Interesting design for sure. :p If your curious about the math, this can support a massive amount of science pack assemblers and probably double the labs you have 1 gear factory can support like 10 red science assemblers, and 1 Inserter and Belt factory can support 12 green science assemblers.

Re: Compact boiler design

Nice find! There some people who know about this trick and do actually use it, but I don't think it's common knowledge. Pretty neat trick actually, and works quite well to save space for sure. Wish more people did know about it. :D

This is pretty cool actually. I feel like it would take forever to actually play a game this way, but still cool idea nonetheless. :p

Re: Today I just discovered...

Even after hundreds of hours in the game I just recently found this out: You get free red/green wires if you use a blueprint and bots. If you set up a circuit network thing using the wires and them blueprint it and have bots build it, they don't actually need wires to be available, they will just ma...

Re: Couple Newbie Player Questions....

For things like adding Plastic or Batteries to the main bus, I think it is personal preference honestly. Batteries would probably be a good thing to add because they are used for quite a lot of stuff. Plastic on the other hand is really only used for Advanced Circuits so might not me worth running t...

Re: Few Beginner Questions

Manual operations are indeed not always the most user friendly. The easiest way to do what you're trying to is : Take a stack of bullets, and Shift-Right-click on each turret. It will add half a stack in each, and if you have less of a stack left, you'll add half of what you have left in hand. [Edi...

Re: Hot Spot Repair Turrets?

I also really like this idea. It would provide a great early-mid game solution for automated repairing of stuff and make your life a lot easier not having to run around all the time repairing stuffs. xD
Hopefully someone with modding experience will see this and maybe give it a try.

Re: Beacon's and electric furnaces

Definitely not bad. However you can actually go the other route and docway more beacons per building, which is usually more affective if you have the power to run all of it. Unfortunately I'm on mobile so I can't find much atm, but there are probably quite a few different designs out there that are ...

Re: Service rails

I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure how the rotories would work since I've never tried that. :/ Personally I would just say just space them out normally with two track spaces between each one like you mentioned. It will obviously be a pain to tear up all the track you already layed out but I think...

Re: Unable to rotate assembly 2

You can only rotate them if you set a recipe which has a fluid input/output? OMG, I should realize by now when I can't figure something out the answer will be the most logical reason. I do think however it would be good to allow rotation prior to placing the building down though. Not quite sure how...

Re: How big is the output buffer of a Chemical Plant?

I think it might depend on if it's a sold mater or liquid. I'm pretty sure that for Sulfur it is 50. Not sure on the others but I think it would be pretty easy to test honestly.
