Any chance for a rework for electric energy?
Fluids now work like electrics (plus the pipe themselves are kind of mini-accumulators).

I always found the electric network to miss the electric resistance in the copper.
And that you can connect two networks with just one wooden pole which transfers ...

Yeah, seems like you have to put every lab onto gleba, if you need the science for a specific technology. Looking the spoil rate of the science packs, you can't even send them to orbit in time.

Now after a restart with (a) deactivated mod(s) you have to navigate ...

Now update the introduction videos on youtube and on the main page, so everything has the new graphics. Belts seem so weird now.

Better change to "production" of 12/m instead of consume.

"Research the Crash site black box"..... okay I was "trapped" about 2-5mins... I thought I have to search for the black box in a wreck part which are now accessable.

I saw some speedruns in 0.15 and 0.16, this would be nice to see in v1.0, I'm sure. On Games Done Quick Events masters of their game compete in speedrunning a game.
