I've been playing Space Age on my Steam Deck and ever since getting the Mech Armor I've been having trouble with precision targeting. Scenario: Run up to a chest to open it, step on something that triggers the flight and the cursor goes up with the character as well as bobbing in hover. This bobbing...

Steam DLC page shows "This game plans to unlock in approximately 16 hours" at this time

I approve of your plastic production.

The way the mouse jumps around at the beginning it looks like a touchscreen of some sort is involved.

Might need to set it to KB and mouse in the settings ingame.

The compression ratio for the game state is going to vary from tick to tick with the sheer number of entities and states within. The sea of bytes is not always going to be optimally compressed as compatibility with the algorithm waxes and wanes.

Connected fluid inputs and outputs set the fluid type on the pipe when the recipe is set, regardless of the actual volume of that fluid.

I'd start by asking how Factorio and possibly Steam were installed, then verifying the files with Steam.

Undergrounds when placed swap the direction in hand for the next, your shift is placing one, then your click is placing the opposite, overwriting the first ghost.

if you want to place several of one direction in a row, use copy and paste.

Acid washing is another consideration, focusing more on the secondary rather than the primary ore. Just gotta remember that even after researching the new, the old techs are still available.

Rails are locked to the global grid in 2x2 pieces, any blueprints with rails have to be locked to the same 2x2 grid spacing to be valid.

Activating added dependencies when the requesting mod is updated, but not active (already in the installed list, but deactivated) is a place where quality of life could be improved. Having added dependencies install, but active status match the requesting mod would be better in my eyes.

Looks like the train is still occupying the station block, does it still occur if the train is not in that rail block?

Steam Deck has an option in the game properties for adjusting the resolution, this is the likely cause. In Steam open up the properties for the game and it should be on the general tab.

I get the feeling they are all trying not to step on each other's toes, that is a lot of feet.

did a bit of testing with the radar, the heavy right channel whir never pans left of center, just fades out on the right side without moving to the left with the radar

This thread made me curious, so I opened the radar.ogg file in audacity, the motor whirring is right heavy. Makes me wonder why the sound effects are stereo to begin with which carries positional info. If they are just attenuated based on distance, you get cases like this where the audio and image d...

this is the one

Another wrinkle in what you describe is the same scanning can be done with a miner in hand. Even being able to place them off ore, their placement gui for expected resources will be the next snag.

No mistake, the ratio of gem to ore is harsh, like .7% per mining cycle on the tile that has gem, the miner also goes to all the other tiles under it as well reducing the observed output even further.
