Mountains could be fun.
-> An area, you can't reach (until later, maybe with rare resources) and what can't be terraformed.

Caves could be also cool, which is already possible with a different layer. But could be part of the map generation.

I also thought about more handcrafted maps which offer a ...

Turning off K2SO's "Realistic weapons" setting ensures that all shots fired can hit their targets, fixing this issue.

I still think this outcome shouldn't be possible, but maybe it's not an engine 'issue' then?
Unfortunately for me, the settings in these two mods are Startup settings, so I guess ...

Not really an idea...sounds like something from the mods is sticking in the save.

Maybe it helps, when you install the recent space exploration mods again? it should be available now in 2.0

Or you could try to use the 1.1.110 save directly, or is this already outdated?

Given how little power a combinator consumes and that there was actually a behavior change around 2.0.65 where combinator's electric buffer was accidentaly reduced from 2x power usage down to 1x power usage, i decided to make combinators have primary power usage and increase their buffer size up ...

The blueprint editor is more a preview with some very basic edit functions.
For editing a blueprint, you are better off placing it somewhere as ghosts, where is space, and use the normal building functions.
The blueprint can then be updated with the replace content function

I'm not sure how far it ...

I guess they could have always duplicated the Recycler in both the Quality mod and Space Age, and disabled one of them in the data stage when both mods were enabled.

Another good solution would be to include the Recycler in the base game as a freebie.

I would guess, that the recycler is not ...

I'd guess, it's a dependency issue.
space age needs quality, because of recyclers for fulgora.
when you do vanilla with quality, you need recyclers, too.

recyclers can't be in space age only, so they are inside the quality mod.

Solution would be to extract recyclers as own mod, which can be used ...

Next time when I visit a restaurant I'll tell them that I don't drink beer and I don't like that they have beer on their menue. Sure, I could just not order it, BUT it feels like that beer is staring at me ;-)

Really, you want an option for optional stuff ??????


To be fair, the Quality mod ...

Everything is customizable to an incredible extent. Just change, what you want it to be.

After thinking a bit more, maybe it would be cool and easier to implement if biters could simply expand anywhere, even inside or next to your base. This would also fix the expand block cheesing which I already figured out in my very first Factorio game by just dropping pipe segments everywhere ...

nest size matters, of course. deathworld probably has mostly too big ones. That one in the screenshot looked doable, but when I look at it now, maybe not.

Technically, you can clear a base with light armor, fish and pistol, but it's a bit painful. Focus on worms and don't let biters overwhelm you.
Probably better, to get turrets and/or military first. The shotgun is decent at clearing nests

There have been a lot of performance optimizations. I doubt, that the numbers from 5 years ago still apply.

I would recommend to not overuse splitters and balancers anyway, but it only matters, when scaling pretty big. I would really avoid huge balancers, because they are not really needed most of ...

I drop this here:

Maybe it helps

Today, I dropped my fish back into the nauvis water. There can be a remainder of 1-4 fishes, because fishes in water are always 5 for whatever reason. The spoiling timer can also be increased by mixing with full health ones, which is especially effective on this 1-4 remainder

Math-wise, the attack cost modifier should act like this:

I'm sure the biters will deeply appreciate your theoretical arguments, take them into consideration, and maybe even apologize for showing up 200 strong instead of the regulation 50.



Waves buildup takes a random time, the longer it ...

Pollution "Attack cost modifier" is 50% (DW) and 80% (DWM)

I was also wondering about this topic

I think, that's a good solution, but have to experiment. One chest of items is maybe a bit much, maybe rather limit the chests or switch chests more often.

If you're worried about stack averaging you can use two chests with spoiled-first inserters pulling out ...

I mean, Deathworld always was a rush to flame throwers, efficiency modules and maybe landmines. After that, it's getting easier.
What exactly changed, that makes 2.0 easier?
- some pollution absorption changes. f.e. water absorbs more
- Deathworld Marathon has no expensive recipes anymore, which ...
