What I would really want are reuseable rockets, and nuclear/fusion engines for platforms. They could be late game thing, of course, but it feels like it is kind of thematically missed opportunity.

Also, space to surface armaments would be great.

Edit: What i would also love as an addition is some ...

I suppose there is even a room for higher than 100 percent requests, like if a platform has bunch of science, it will go to a nauvis to dump it regardless of other conditions.

Interrupt on fulfilled request so a platform will not fly to different planet because one item is missing

Why
Platforms Often try to fulfill interrupts too early if I request 600 foundations, I don't want a platform to fly and pick a new batch when only few are missing. This could be done by ...

Allow upgrade wildcard on entities which will call for the best quality available. When upgraded, the maker will stay, and when destroyed, the entity will one again request highest available quality.

TL DR
Wires should be graphically run in the platform, not as wires above it, and with unlimited range

Why
The circuit wires look weird and work not so great on platforms, because there are no power poles

I was thinking that a research that let you increase the landing pad limit would be nice. Perhaps one for each planet? So if you did Vulcanus and Fulgora you could have two extra landing pads per world.


This is absolutely great idea, I would not lock it behind a limited number, but maybe that ...

I agree, maybe you would need a new building, like a shuttle bay to move to another platform, and shuttle bay would require some fuel to be used, so it wouldnt be enteirly free.

Tl Dr
New type of spidertron

Why
Some end game tier of vehicle would be nice and cool

What
High tier vehicle, in size close to gleba stompa. To unlock, player would have to have unlocked multiple planet science, possibly all of them.
The vehicle itself would be armed with a pair of rail guns ...

Tl Dr
Add request group option to be additive or max only, and implement recursive groups

Why
Request groups are great, but they can be better. Sometimes I want to have multiple groups active, but they have the same items listed. Often I don't want to carry total amount, but just the highest value ...

Tl Dr
Make request groups be switchable by platform conditions
Why
Sind groups would work best if they could be switched on and off depending on conditions automatically, like uranium delivery to a platform
What
Alow switch request groups by schedule, interrupt, or wire

tl dr
allow import on platform from any planet

why
some items could be imprted from anywhere where they are present

I fully agree, this would be a good feature.

Tl dr
Foundry for use outside of vulcanus

Why
Foundry needs calcite, and thus can be reasonably used only on vulcanus.

What
Foundry which would use either nuclear fuel directly, or would use thermal pipes instead of calcite.

I agree, it would be great to be able to display weapon ranges and their cones real time

Tl Dr
Add warheads droppable from space platform

What
Player could launch a cargo of reentry vehicles to the platform, then drop them on biters. Possibly nuclear.

Why
It would be cool, and if far enough in research, it would not break the balance, as the problem is already solved by artillery

Tl Dr
Add optional quality of life autoroute

What
Add a box, where if player drags a belt, it automatically rotates if cursor is outside the box, and the position of belt is already aligned with the cursor in its current position

Why
It would be nice quality of life, if optional

Maybe the player could manipulate the chances by not utilizing the full capacity. And the rocket research could be also expanded to increase the capacity of the rocket, meaning that the rocket might start with smaller capacity, but then be greatly improved. Besides the science beakers, the number of ...

Reusable rockets feels like a great fit for space age

Why
It is kinda sad that in space age there are no advanced rockets. Reusable rocket would be a nice fit.

What
New rocket type, locked by several planets (volcanos and fulgora maybe). It didn't have to be cheat like trivialization, the ...

Instead, gleba feels like the perfect place for tech dealing with enemies by manipulating their impulses, like capturing nests like it currently is, but also biter repellent, air filtering, or similar. As ultimate gleba tech, it could be powerful, basically removing biter threat altogether. This ...

Tl Dr
Super lab should come from aquila, not from gleba

What?
The themes fit, it would be some kind of quantum super computer, which is known to require near zero temp cooling, and the aquila is also the source of super high tech. Maybe instead of replacement of current bio tech lab, it could be ...
