Thoughts on my gear design?
I wanted a gear design for a belt factory and I came up with this 0eNqlV+2OmzAQfBf/xpW/MEle5VSdSLLNWTIGGdNrFPHudTjKnRon8XK/EKCdHc+Od+0L2dsBOm9cILsLMYfW9WT3ciG9ObnaXr+FcwdkR0yAhhTE1c305ltHT1B7+v4GYMlYEOOO8Ifs+Fh8I1p8K1pmRNd9D83eGneiTX14Mw6o+AKhxp8FARdMMPChxPRyfnVDswcf17cgDTHCn3wbn3QPNsQcXdvHwNZds0cwK...

Re: trains not loading fast enough
you say dont set the condition to iron ore = 0 cause thats never going to happen, but it works reliably when I have it set up. probably only cause im not inputting a full belt (I was actually surprised when it did work) that miner setup looks pretty sweet and I will totally be using that from now on...

I have wires going across the chests an into the station.

Self-Replicating Mode (Thing ive wanted for a while)
with the recent friday facts the devs mentioned a game mode where you start with power armor and personal robo ports. I suggest a slightly different version with the free camera mode. you start with a robo port, some construction robots, and enough solar panels to power them. along with some basic s...

Re: train braking force
I dont feel like being able to slow down faster (achieve a greater negative acceleration) is useful

Re: Getting rid of alien artifacts is a bad idea
there needs to be a resource that you can obtain in small amounts without fighting biters but large amounts if you do choose to deal with them obtaining them without fighting should be really inefficient requiring: far more resources than just shooting nests or whatever they drop from much much more...

Re: whats a good starting strategy?
alright, ill try that soon
but a constant problem I face (this has held true for over 50 maps) is I never spawn near any trees, so I have to save all the wood for power poles, and still normally dont have enough
