The robot effect is awesome. I have a small complaint about the poison cloud. When the capsule is thrown and hits the center of the effect circle, the whole circle fills with the cloud at the same rate. I feel it looks a bit strange that cloud appears at the edge instantly after the capsule hits. I ...

Particles == Awesome

Positions and rotations would be stored in floats or doubles, each being 32 or 64 bits each (respectively). I imagine the 64 bytes are: 1. Position (x and y): 8 bytes to 16 bytes. 2. Velocity (x and y): 8 bytes to 16 bytes. 3. Rotation: 4 bytes to 8 bytes. 4. Time (how long the particle has existed...

Here are some thoughts for possible future improvements. Take advantage of the commonality between particles produced by a common source. Say you have a particle source object, which contains the majority of those 64bytes you mentioned. Then a particle would be a tiny structure which would be append...

I believe the real problem with bots, their game breaking ability, is their inventory access speed. Think about it, if I have a chest which needs to be filled with resources, there is a hard limit on how quickly I can supply items to it using belts. Intuitively that limit is the number of inserters ...

Is it possible to change the GUI's for the games stock items? I was thinking it would be nice if the circuit network could be used to turn on/off the train stops. I didn't want to create a whole new train stop for this, and I thought it would look and feel better if this option were simply added to ...

Something I find anoying is the four different kinds of logistic chests. Anytime I'm building something moderately complicated I have to carefully count out how many of each kind of logistic chest I will need. If I don't I'm either crafting them on the fly, which is inefficient, or I'll make too man...
