Re: Quality on Gleba.
I don't think there's that much need for balancing. Gleba being Gleba means that it's by far the most annoying of the 3 planets to build a factory on because it's essentially a burner-only playthrough but with added spoilage. Letting us build legendary stuff there more easily would offset that ...

Re: Quality on Gleba.
This is a good post. Most of the legendary science packs went smoothly. But the agriculture science pack is really a huge hassle. I also feel like it wasn’t well thought out, and your suggestions aren’t bad. However, they need to be examined from all angles to ensure they wouldn’t cause some ...

Quality on Gleba.
TL;DR
A couple of suggestions to make quality more feasible on Gleba. Because right now it kind of sucks.
What?
Currently, it's hard, if not impossible, to do quality science on Gleba. Because whilst you can get quality jelly from grinding up stack inserters, mash does not have a single recipe ...

Re: Friday Facts #437 - Cargo Pod Deep Dive
I saw this sequence in the trailer, and assumed it was "doctored" for the trailer. So I was extremely pleased to see it in the actual game, it's an amazing sequence. Really well done!
Not gonna lie I am not sure why I didn't expect the transition to be in game. But I didn't. And then, when you ...

Inserters will not put items into cargo bays.
As seen in the picture below, my bulk inserters are refusing to put asteroids into the cargo bays. They're able to do this just fine into the hub itself, but refuse to add items into the cargo bays.

Re: Rename rockets (the ones you can shoot from launcher) to missiles
Because right now we have rockets (the ones you shoot at enemies) and rockets (the ones that shoot stuff from silos into space). Which is a tad confusing.
I disagree. One of the differences between rockets and missile, in my mind, is that rockets are unguided weapons while missiles are guided ...

Re: Friday Facts #431 - Gleba & Captivity
Giving Gleba the ability to give you what is essentially a 100% productivity bonus (ish) on labs is insane. I also like the new labs: Because it means we won't have to rebuild science once we go to Gleba (which was honestly one of the few reasons you'd pick it first). Though actually that's not true ...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids
Fluid Wagons being twice as big and having a higher Flow Rate, hrrm, surely nobody will use Fluid Wagon Tanks instead of regular Fluid Tanks to save space or something stupendous like that. The Tile to Fluid Ratio just so happens to be on the sweet spot to allow those shenanigans.

I get you're trying to avoid the dune comparison... but that's just not gonna happen. Also: Are these giant wormsnakes going to have any kind of similarities to the Nauvis turret worms? Eitherway these look cool as hell and I can't wait to see how to fight them. I'm also a VERY big fan of the 'no ...

Roboport and reactor stats always was an oversight, it took far too long for such a simple thing!

Re: Friday Facts #426 - Resource search & Assembler GUI improvements
The Map view where train tracks go diagonal thru the wall makes me wonder whether rail gates will work on diagonal or curved tracks now.
Looking at the map some more, they're actually elevated tracks going *above* the wall.
Looking at the map even more, the fact that there are walls ...

Re: Friday Facts #425 - Behind the legs
I really hope so. Especially since they are giving us the RTS tool. To me that implies 1. More RTS-like commands and movement expectations from your troops (I.e. pathfinding around obstacles) and 2. More than just the Spidertron to control.
"Unit reporting." "Moving out."

On a completely unrelated sidenote to the quality discussion going on...
First screenshot, noticing 2 things.
1: The illusive black science pack that they accidentally teased in the last FFF (and which I called out!).
2: What the frick is blue ammo?!
