We need mod which makes these snakes 1 section bigger each time they eat a building.

And once they get big enough the only way to kill them is to trick them into running into their own tail.

Notice how on the bottom right image the burner inserter still makes one failed pickup attempt? That means it's still just a matter of time before enough of those happen in a row for it to run out of energy and require manual intervention. Whether this counts as a bug is debatable, but the problem i...

FYU for a moment there I was confused and wondered "why do those regular inserters unload that fast?" Then I realized that they're actually bulk inserters, however they looked the same-ish from farther away due to the orange color.

Maybe the whole belt reader indicators should be asymmetrical, to indicate which direction the connector is from a belt segment? Belts are easy to trace with your eyes, but you do need to know which way to go. It goes both directions until Splitter or end/start I meant, if you see a belt segment th...

supercapacitors?

Please add mod grouping to the mod explorer. For example, when I want to play Space Exploration, I have to browse through the huge list of mods which I have installed and one by one select the ones I use for my SE map. It would be nice and easy to have a SE group, to which I would put all the SE mo...

If I nuke landfill, is it no longer landfill and no longer able to be deconstructed? This would be a tradeoff then, on nuking landfill to increase its pollution absorption. If landfill can be mined, then clearly a nuke should simply destroy it, reverting the tile to water. Maybe landfill should jus...

Was momentum considered? In space, nothing is slowing down your spacecraft once you turn off your thrusters. From this FFF, it seems a platform slows down once you turn off its thrusters. And I wonder if you choose to ignore this for gameplay purposes or if there is some braking force applied. But ...

The problem is that for performance reasons, we only process a small number of these orders each tick, and with a list that is quite large, it can take quite some time to process the new blueprint you just placed down. Wouldn't this problem be completely solved by simply inserting new ghosts to the...

If you had to pick one entity that represents the game to you the most, which one would it be? Transport belt. It's a very visual automaton (you can see stuff moving), obviously meant to connect other machines together (thus implying the player isn't supposed to keep supplying and loading machines ...

There is one thing you really should fix before releasing 1.0: the tech tree dependencies. Specifically, all technologies which require a particular science pack (for example blue) should have the technology which makes that pack available (Advanced electronics, in this case) as an (automatic) prere...

Speaking of logistic system, would it also be possible to set per-roboport upper and lower counts for constructor and logistic bots the system will try to house in that port before more will move there or move to other ones. I've sometimes ran into problems where newly constructed construction bots ...

Wow I am so excited for .15. You guys have done an amazing job with everything. It looks fantastic, thank you so much. I have a question though I hope I can get answered. The mining drill shown in the nuclear power pic, the one with fluid input, is that a new mining drill just for mining uranium? I...

Single sided, double sided, a big train, a small one, loop-based or no loops makes no difference in the games performance. They're all the same. I have no idea where people get these ideas from but they're all false. If you have a loop at every intersection it should multiply available paths expone...

Really wish they'd add an alternative to rockets already, that's really getting old fast, but endless research as an resource sink feels empty. How about, say, an 'ultimate defence perimeter' project, which you supply with copious amounts of military equipment, and then call in settlers from your h...

By the time you reach endgame, you have basically endless free power from solar farms. Turbines would help fill the gap between coal power plant running out of space for expansion and mass production of panels and accumulators, which in turn would provide a need for greater fuel efficiency solved by...

The reactor generates heat and has a temperature. The more nuclear fuel it has inside, the more heat it generates and more thoroughly it burns the fuel (easy to accomplish both by making fuel burn at fixed rate but heat generation depend on the amount of fuel inside). If gets too hot, it'll explode ...

Lastly, the temperature of steam doesn't matter, it's pressure difference that moves the turbines in an engine; unfortunately, you never added pressure to the game mechanics. Actually, the current system models pressure reasonably well: pressure in a pipe or container is amount of liquid / max capa...

Since this is nuclear power, there needs to be waste management. I'm suggesting something like: Tech: nuclear power Furnace: uranium ore -> uranium Assembler: uranium + iron plate -> fuel rod Nuclear plant: fuel rod -> spent fuel rod + heat Tech: nuclear reprocessing 1 Chemical plant: spent fuel rod...
