Re: Gleba has killed the game for me.

I spent a bit longer "solving" Gleba because I went circuit crazy. I progressively enable more and more nutrient consumers as production comes online. And similarly, I turn on the products (like science or carbon fiber) in the same fashion. One of the main mechanisms is by enabling/disabling ...

Re: [2.0.20] Parameterized blueprint formula ignored


It's because you've set both values to 1 in the blueprint you prepared, and same values get folded to be the same parameter. If you hover over the first "1" in your blueprint you can see that it considers that one to be present in both places, so the rocket cargo size gets used for both the ...

Re: [2.0.20] Base 16 number with highest bit set saturates if used as constant in arithmetic and decider combinator

That there's a difference between base10 and base16 behavior is the real problem. In other words, if they clamped it to positives on all three combinators--while now consistent--would be incorrect as it forces a user to use base10 for negative numbers.

[2.0.20] Parameterized blueprint formula ignored

I have a simple blueprint that enables the the inserter if the chest has less than a rocket capacity, and the chest has a request of 40 * stack size . When pasting the blueprint, I select "mines" at the blueprint prompt. Both the inserter and the request size are set to 100. The expected outcome is ...

[2.0.16] "Production" of spoilage is not tracked in the production graphs

This seems to be an oversight in the statistics. Since spoilage doesn't show up in the production graphs, the inspiring engineer doesn't have visibility to ensure consumption of spoilage meets production demands.

Re: [2.0.16] CTRL-A (spidertron remote) gets confused and loses surface selection

I didn't misclick, as I had thought. In this case, I had done the same thing: sent the spidertron on a path and then went to Fulgora and was doing some building. I came back to Gleba to see where the spidertron was, hit CTRL-A and it didn't select it. In fact, it's giving the cursor of two ...

[kovarex] [2.0.16] CTRL-A (spidertron remote) gets confused and loses surface selection

I'm attaching two saves. The first, jump to Gleba remote view, hit CTRL-A and you can control the spidertron. The second, jump to Gleba remote view, hit CTRL-A and you cannot control the spidertron.

I observed this by CTRL-A sending the spider out to bring democracy to the pentapods with a series ...

For myself, no. These spidertrons were placed a long while ago. Hours and hours worth of undos ahead of them if the queue was even that deep.

I'd like to add that they disappear when not driven, too. I could not reproduce it by roughly retracing my steps.

I am on Gleba and using the spidertron remote to control a grouped pair on Nauvis. I had them zigzagging through two biter bases and was watching them. Health and ...

Re: [2.0.14] Replacing parameterized sub-factory led to parameter signal exposed

I do not have that setting enabled, and I cannot select the param symbol for logistics. The broken part is that the game did something which I cannot do, and was not expected.

I built another space platform over Nauvis and the asteroid collectors aren't collecting. They are both pulsing with the symbol in this photo:

[2.0.14] Replacing parameterized sub-factory led to parameter signal exposed

If you load the save and jump to Nauvis, it's set to the parameterized build. I'm posting it here as a reference. I would routinely replace the build with T2/T1 module. (This was before I figured out how to use ingredients and had to select the T1.) At some point in the past, pasting it broke the ...

[Kovarex] [2.0.14] Parameterization setting all counts to same value

This blueprint has been "Select new contents" button a few times and fixed up. It's also had the parameters edited a few times. I say this as it may contribute to the observed problem.

The problem is that it's filling in the decide combinator "count" field with the same values (e.g., 15) even ...

Re: Ability to "Read Fuel" from Biochambers.

It might be better to separate fuel out as it's own checkbox/signal, similar to the "Read Working" checkbox/signal section (e.g., "Read Fuel" checkbox and signal choice).

Re: Ability to "Read Fuel" from Biochambers.

Agreed. This may apply to other fuel-based assemblers.

Since nutrients spoil, I didn't want to over-fuel machines. However, the biochamber doesn't report the fuel in the "read contents".

You can workaround this with a combinator, "if ingredient1 >= required1 and ingredient2 >= required2 and ...

Re: [2.0.14] Animated water on Gleba tanks FPS (60 -> 22)

For me, as I noted, if I just load in and start playing on Gleba, it isn't a problem. Only after play time (primarly on Gleba, shift to the ship or other surfaces, back to Gleba, etc. etc.) does the FPS start lagging. How long did you play on Gleba on your 1060?
