I have about 40 construction robots in a network and 0 logistic bots. I put in a request for 50 construction bots in the roboport, works fine. I put in an additional request for 300 logistic bots, works fine. I change the 300 to 301 logistic robots and all the construction robots flee the roboport ...

What if the Wurms on Vulcanus didn't come up to the surface unless they were attacking something? That something could be a deployable item that you stick in their territory that gives them cause to surface in order to attack it. Without this object, you'd have to build a sacrificial building in the ...

The game treats the storage tank as a pipe that can hold 25,000 units of liquid so by connecting it to a pipe which doesn't have a ...

I have one rail signal that I want to keep red most of the time. However, when another rail signal goes from green to red (another train returning to its station), I want the original rail signal to turn green for a given number of seconds (5 or more, long enough for the train to leave the station ...

So you want to cut down a bunch of trees but it's really slow cutting them down one at a time. Keep that initial slowness but cut down the tedium if a player has to harvest multiple trees. Implement a stacking and refreshing buff (5 minutes or so) that increases the speed you cut down trees each ...
