+1 blueprints are such an important gameplay element and at least for me replacing single entity placement to a high degree. The possibility of a simple programmable deconstruction/ bp-chain could put much more emphasis on design in outposting, rather than more or less manually repeating the process...

Who else thought of biters when reading "the great bug war"?

My artillery is a little bit to far reaching to be considered with pesky annoyances like that
A Vacation well deserved, I would say.

Congratulations, reading about the major (not to mention the countless not explicitly described) changes again, just shows, how much work and effort you guys put into .17. The result is worth it, great work!

„Professional game journalism“ a contradiction in term.

it's not only feasible but already possible.

...and different from the concept presented in the fff. Dose newly laid landfill look the same on this map?
Since landfill is and definitely was classified as just normal Terrain in previous versions, the minimap seems to behave nominally.

One step closer to stable, well done
Rich text for save games, is a great QoL improvement.

Excellent idea, there is the gap of potentially using night vision on modular armor but having not researched batteries yet. For consistency reasons multi tired nv could be a thing. Mk I with generous internal buffer and the old greenish optic. Mk II as it is now.

Most of the suggested difficult options would be quite incompatible with the lower tiers and therefore make multiplayer matchmaking harder and more exclusive. I even think, that newer players would be more hinderd by such changes, too get in touch or learn from more expirienced players. Although hav...

I do like the new landfill texture very much. Using just the grass before felt a little bit like a placeholder. Still undecided if the rectangular shape or the mocked up 45degree turned looks better. Since landfill looks different from normal terrain, shouldn’t it be handelt like other floors, esspe...

I'm not arguing against usage of circuit networks in the least. Yet - as argued in the OP - the behaviour is inconsistent and against expectations (thus I consider the suggested things workarounds). And it is not good means to "encourage" usage circuit networks this way at this place in a totally u...

I believe the OP has quite a valid point: the game behaves counter-intuitively in this case (even when it's reasonably edge-case). One would expect the rocket to simply not launch if the science pack storage inside the launch facility is full. Practical solution: allow the rocket to start and produ...

One could go so far, to suggest resuing exactly those entities. The argumentation for (and against) a the underlying theme of adventure mode can be found in the controversial opinion blog.

Sounds like something in the vicinity of the adventure mod from fff309 and therefore a big maybe in a post 1.0. release.

In my opinion, the reason this topic exists is that silo introduces lots of new stuff gameplay-wise while being internally a miscommunicated jenga tower of whatever is labeled a design decision. What op suggests is hardcode what is otherwise doable with simple circuit logic into a yet another hack ...

Those assembly machines from the Industrial revolution mod are looking like a quite nicely done compromise between the „classic“ Factorio type and the advanced from the NPE.

Unfortunately, this "build more storage" approach doesn't really work :D On most of my attempts I utilise a dumb "Science secondary bus" approach to science pack output, which involves a bus of sciencepack-filled belts parallel to main bus but driven backwards to labs, which are behind the start of...

Space science stacks 2000 packs, with one stack per silo. A rocket launch gives you 1000 so only a third launch without drainage is deleting anything. A steel chest holds 48 stacks of anything, therefore only your 99th unobtained rocket launch is deleting science packs, this is of course if you are ...

I believe that modern reactors have anti-hydrogen-accumulation measures ? (Of course, very few currently operating reactors are "modern", the overwhelming majority of them having been built in the 70's...) The modules against accumulating hydrogen, usually catalytic recombinators (wich recombine H ...

Am I the only one that thinks that since the pipes are glowing red hot, that maybe they should cause a small bit of damage to the player if they are walked on?

And let's not forget, hot reactor are much more powerful than landmines. Time for nuclear defenses.
