So I talked to the developers on IRC and apparently several videos and a dozen screenshots of the bug are not enough, they need a save just before it happens or they won't look into it. Can anyone provide one? I tried but without knowing what causes trains to repath (I asked the devs and they won't ...

When a roboport loses power and discharges, bots still see it as a valid charging source and will hover around it unable to do anything since they can't charge.

Using bobs mods. Not sure if behavior occurs in vanilla.

Still not fixed as of 15.20. Can happen in vanilla game. Issue is the train decides to change its path after it enters the roundabout, so it picks the exit it already passed. Bug is: Train can change paths in middle of chain signal block... And furthermore when it does, it picks paths it can't reser...

Great we have agreed its a bug and it still exists in 15.20, 12 months later. Can we please have trains check if they are in between two chain signals and disable rerouting logic? Rather, when a train recalculates a path, just use the old path (early out) if the train is current in between two chain...

I wouldn't mess around with high temp steam. just regular steam is OK I think, because you can get it at 100cish from a regular boiler, or 500c from a nuclear powerplant at a higher 'energy cost' but technically still lower resource cost since nuclear energy is so 'cheap' Compact free energy is rath...

Oh ok, Maybe i'll just look into modding the cost of electrolysis way up then. I do keep making electrolysis more and more expensive in every major version. if you actually look back a couple minor versions of bobplates, pure water (which is an option for electrolysis recipes instead of normal wate...

Id still like a thorium nuclear fuel cell. Maybe has a different fuel value to complicate reactor management.

Id love to see alien artifacts become part of said fuel cell recipe too. Fueled by the blood of my enemies!

Hi. I am annoyed that trains can reroute when in the middle of a chain signal block, it seems like a bug to me since it defeats the point of chain blocks: Not being able to enter unless your exit is free. you can't guarantee that if a train decides to change exits half way through leading to deadloc...

Protip, Trains move gases/fluids around amazingly fast. You can also disable train stops based on if a fluid tank is full or not. All the fluids can move over the same traintrack too :) For most of my fluid movements I use 1:1 trains because they store so much, with the option of 1:2 trains. Interes...

Id like to see some aluminum or titanium or plastic used as a container, just as a symbolic resource use.

Id love to see hydrogen become super costly to get from electrolysis and add a petroleum gas->hydrogen reformer.

Confirmed fixed.

Interesting, learn something new every day. So it isn't exactly that they are using the nuclear reaction as fuel, but as a method to superheat something else (looks like hydrogen). I knew about space based nuclear engines (both thermal and electric), but didn't know they ever considered them for at...

Oh oh. How about as an alternative rocket fuel for launches? NUCLEAR ROCKET FUEL! there are actual nuclear rocket engines proposed, and RTG's (Radiothermal generator) are a thing for satellites/rovers. Not so much. RTG's have such abysmal efficiency it'd be basically impossible to launch a rocket w...

Yea, Maybe for rocket fuel you could add in some resource needed. Ideas: Plastic and/or aluminum and/or titanium for fuel tank. Maybe you need to say assemble 10 liquid hydrazine into a single fuel tank before its usable as fuel in the rocket/burners/cars/etc. I seem to recall the stuff is nasty to ...

No seriously, I am going to like bobs mods a LOT more now that I actually have a reason to use all this titanium and aluminum and stuff for the low density structure. And the MK5 radar and such is going to be a joy to assemble, Finally a real reason to build high tier stuff en mass. I was hoping the...

Thank you very much!

Ok so I was wrong, One zero too many.

Yea now I just gotta obliterate large amounts of biters to get to that huge tungsten patch I need for tank mk3.

Oh well, These new explosive artillery rounds will come in handy for that...
