Yes, you can. And then it becomes fully automated again, as burner inserters take fuel for themselves if they need it... I want to use them in some cases, such as when power is REALLY far away, but right now it's a waste.

So I got a bit curious about inserter efficiency, so I devised a simple test. One boiler, one steam engine, one coal and let's see how much can each inserter move before it runs out. I chose this method so I am able to include the burner inserter in the test. I really wanted the burner inserter to b...

I is supposed to be a lenghty video, coming up probably next week. Should be a really big bump. Really really big bump.

Agreed with Dark. This problém solving makes the game the fun it is.

2 things:

Magazine size upgrades.
Gun turret armor ignoring upgrades.

The pheromones aren't such a bad idea, but let's not go too far with it. Having biters go for a drink and a bite of a fruit tree doesn't bring much to the game. It is a feature that doesn't expand the game and just wastes resources and development time. On the other hand, using pheromone-commands ba...

Having thought about this for a week or so, I think the easiest way to discourage turtling starts is to push a tiny amount of Purple science pack in the earlier techs. Like having techs around the oil-entry level require about tenth of the other science packs you need. For example having techs like ...

OP is right, zooming out should increase the scrolling speed. No computer limitations.

Agreed with OP, several times the game annoys me like that when I just need to look at the recipes.

Both arctic and desert should be fairly monotone. 2 ground textures should be enough for starters. Apart from that you have only weather on graphics, rest should be some fairly simple coding.

I thought about what the game currently lacks (apart from multiplayer) quite a bit, and I came to a conclusion that two aspects that are currently most „undeveloped“ are enemy variety and the environment. Now let’s get to the idea that has potential to solve both while being relatively achievable by...

A multi-tiered artillery seems like a good idea. I would split it into two groups - Aimed and Automatic. Automatic would be a medium range cannon artillery, slowly firing at incoming groups of enemies from afar. Highet tier - more range, damage, fire rate, etc. Aimed - sort of guided missiles. You c...
