Official trailer and gameplay trailers are amazing and short, start there.
This.
The 2014 trailer contributed to trigger my initial purchase. It has been updated a couple times, here is the last version from 2020 :

Re: Requster / Buffer / Provider chest combination

I'd be curious to know if adding this would make the others obsolete, and if not, what unique functions would be retained by the originals.

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

And holy damn... that crafting speed on the Foundry is ridiculous. The flickering looks sooo bad it hurts my eyes. I hope you consider changing the animation of that or something. Or as someone already wrote in the thread... have a static animation & just display a static items/sec number once ...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

The way I see it, when you consider the fact that you can still run long range wires as needed, this is your extra channel. ;)

Re: Stack inserter name change

TL;DR. Change the name of stack inserter to bulk inserter sooner rather than latter. After FFF 402 I’ve had several conversations about the space age update regarding the new bulk/stack inserter, it has had several people confused on more than a couple occasions now on which one is actually being t...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

But adding 8 channels would be, ... you know better. You can't have, say, radar A transmitting to radar B, while radar C transmits to radar D. I would rather have option to set 8 channels, so we get 8 independent wireless networks. One channel is enough for most people's use cases. However those wh...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

Didn't they mention early on that there was going to be Power Armour beyond Mk II? Maybe that's what it is? Power Armour Mk III? I still have no idea what are you talking about :) I did not see any arms there. Are you talking about shadows or smth? It's easier to see it in the video as it's moving....

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

By "one channel" you mean the values of red and green cable will be added, transmitted, received and a single list of values will come out? So storing the number of available trainloads in green and requested trainloads in red still needs a complete network wiring?! My guess on this is th...

Re: Quality level run-off poll

I'm 50/50 on whether to go with whatever the devs use or a mod that changes it to numbered levels, but regardless, I'll probably use Q1-Q5 in conversations because I'm not going to remember any names except for the "highest"... maybe. :lol:

Re: Fluid Mechanics Still Broken, 6 Years Later?

one-direct valve, a top-up valve, and an overflow valve (available in mods and indispensable for better fluid distribution) For vanilla gameplay, these are achievable with pumps and tanks with circuit wires; no combinators or advanced logic required. They just take up more space and require power c...

Re: Quality level run-off poll

(My own opinion is that even 'S', let alone 'SS' or 'SSS', is symptomatic of unplanned extensions to a range. You designed a range with, say, 'A' to 'D', and then find later that you need a higher grade than 'A', so have to improvise. Adding such things in at the start is pointless.) You don't watc...

Re: Make Steam Turbine a separate research.

I could see splitting into three, starting with steam turbine research. Get that, start making the turbines while researching heat. Get that, start making heat exchangers and heat pipes while researching nuclear power. Once that research is complete make a reactor or two and you have what you need ...

Belts follow a linear progression in speed (+15 each tier). How is that odd?
I specifically explained how that's odd - it messes up the splitter math.
The fact that blue isn't double of its lower tier (exponential growth) isn't "odd" and doesn't "mess" anything up.

Re: Got a little confused with "electric-energy-interface"

There exist mods for both that you can look at to see how they solved them. For wind, keep in mind that wind speed can be changed at run time for variable wind speeds by mods. For the air purifier, I believe the way other mods handle this is by making it an assembler, then have it "use" cl...

Re: Rename nuclear fuel to reduce ambiguity

I've always felt like the burnable nuclear rocket fuel was kind of magicy, and thus have never liked its inclusion into the game, but yeah, I agree that it should be named something different. My vote would be for something like "enriched rocket fuel". I always have a hard time remembering...
