The rail planner needs to be perfect for this to work. Otherwise, you will have to do way too much micro placement.
I am not yet fully convinced, that this is a good idea. The shadows, the reflection, the stuff behind; and all of that without the ability to turn the world around!? Will it work?

Re: Finding balance: a guide to belt balancers
@trifonous I think 0.17 is stable now and you can cut the loop back section in UTU :D After same pages your speed increased, I would have required more in detailed, stepwise explanations to really follow. But, that is okay. Maybe having a balancer is enough and I can then true to understand how it r...

Re: Friday Facts #353 - Trailer update
I wonder if new players will be interested in Factory 0.1. While it is very interesting for those, who did travel along with you, others might not care. What is it you like to achieve with the new trailer?

[planned] Compilatron should not destroy your iron setup
When compilatron shows me how to do a mining setup it silently destroys the setup that was already in place. The scenario should either follow the "Do what I tell you!"-Style, which would forbid me to do anything else, or made me expect that any deviation from the path will lead to destruc...

Re: [0.17.4] Show inserter speed in tooltip
I would suggest listing the box-to-box speed. It may be higher or lower depending on where the parts are on the belt and how far it has to swing, but B2B is going to be consistent and measurable. Sounds good to me. Seems consistent and measurable and will scale with inserter updates. It can also ad...

Re: [0.17.4] Show inserter speed in tooltip
I agree that it is tricky. I believe (unfortunately I am not sure) that I am not looking for perfection here. I like to resolve the design question: If I need to run 12 assembling machines which process 6 coal every 4 second each, I need to make 12*6/4 = 18 coal available per second. Thus a yellow b...

TL;DR Show inserter speed (moveable items / second) in tooltip. What ? The tooltip on the right side of the screen should show the speed of an inserter. It shows all kind of information, when hovering over an inserter, but does not show how many items per second it can move. Idealy the speed would ...

[0.17.4] Inconsistent German text (trivial issue)
In the tutorial the text used by compilatron as goal, differs from the text used in the research tree. I am asked to "Erforsche Fluchtkapsel Flugschreiber " but in the research tree it is called " Blackbox der Fluchtkapsel ". Being in a tutorial that is confusing. Use "Black...

[0.17.4] Arrival: Wrong Elements disappear in loader?
Instead of copper plates I feed copper ore into the loader (belader in German) and they just disappear. I would expect the loader to not accept the items and thus show me I am feeding the wrong stuff.
I do not know if that is a bug or a feature.

[0.17.4] Arrival: Learning to open a structure is misleading
In the arrival tuturial, I clicked on the robot instead of the ship wreck when the robot told me to click. The speech bubble was a stronger indication on the click target than the flashing border around the wreck. If possible mention the ship wreck at least in the hint in the upper left. It still te...

Re: Friday Facts #266 - Cleanup of mechanics
