Re: Resource-aware Power Strategy

i use a lot of mods, have to ask, why is non-solar causing UPS problems? is it the animations? if i put a nuclear power plant inside a factorissimo building, does it still count against UPS? UPS has nothing to do with graphical elements that would be FPS. When it does run and generate energy that g...

Re: Resource-aware Power Strategy

This is based on mrvn's post. I have not tried it yet. He suggested using solar panels to generate steam for electricity and store the steam for most of your nightly energy need, with the remainder handled by coal... as an early strategy before you get oil and accumulators. Lowers coal consumption ...

Re: Resource-aware Power Strategy

i ended up using a switch in the refinery so that when the coal input to my boilers gets too low, the oil is used in solid fuel producion instead of gas, to prevent the first out of coal blackout. And without gas your production is kind of limited due to lack of plastic etc...

Red Belt Madness

Suggestion: Add Red Belt Tech to Blue Science Why: My conservation in multiplayer is that people as soon as they get the red belt tech build it and use it mostly everywhere... then the game somehow stops... we increase more iron to make more red belt, to use it in spaces where it is not required.

Re: [Single Player] Orders on Pause

+1 for navigating the map (with keys) while game is paused - could be usefull for large multiplayer maps, when people join or the server saves the game. (On slow servers this may take some time - so you can use the time for looking what needs to be done etc.) - It's just unlogical that you can navig...

Re: Assembling Machines

That seems more of a problem with copypasting recipes on requester chests which, I agree, is kind of crap and I wish it went back to just 2x the resources or have some sort of option to adjust it yourself. i find it quite usefull because the requested ressources scale also when using speed modules ...

Re: Pre-Planning Phase option

Most players that place big blueprints actually dont know how much time/ressources are required to build these and if so much of the specific production is required at the moment.

edit: as i see it the fun in the game is the process of building a base, not having a perfect base

Re: So... Let's talk about bots, and how to fix them properly...

So limit the amount of items bots can take out of chests? Like bots waiting for recharge - bots wait to pickup items. +1 for limiting robots that accessing chest at the same time Which is effectively a Nerf... and Nerfs are usually hated upon by at least half the community as can be seen in other ga...

Assembling Machines

- Increase production time for all of the assembling machines to 2-4 seconds. - at the moment with .5s when using the recipe to set a requester chest it creates absurd large amounts ( i ment the requested materials, not the output of products sry) for a product that is not needed very often. e.g. sm...
