Re: Friday Facts #405 - Whole belt reader, New logistics GUI

Lastly... can we not rename the logistic networks? I thought I recalled that you were going to offer that, but on seeing some of the latest posts from others here, it sounds like that *didn't* get added? Seeing a long list of "LOGISTICS NETWORK #X" is boring. Seeing "Smelter Array Tr...

Re: Friday Facts #405 - Whole belt reader, New logistics GUI

Nice change. I want to chime in to say it'd be nice to be able to click an item in the right-hand GUI of the Logistics to see where items are. Even if it simply shows an icon if there is >0 of an item in that location, it'd be handy. While you do that, though, make it also work for Members. Trying t...

Re: Friday Facts #394 - Assembler flipping and circuit control

I'm glad you agree with us on the "stack/Bulk" inserter name changes. It'd be really frustrating to explain to anyone why "stack inserters" don't deal with "stacks". I also think that it'd be great if fluid inputs could be dynamic. Someone mentioned it earlier in this t...

Re: Friday Facts #393 - Putting things on top of other things

You might be confusing two separate but similarly-named topics. Stack size for Low-Density Structures only comes into play when stored in chests. A "stack" on a belt can only be - at maximum level - 4. So a Bulk Inserter will pick up 16 LDS items from a chest in 4 stacks of 4. It will pla...

Re: Friday Facts #393 - Putting things on top of other things

A couple notes: - Definitely swap the names of the Stack inserter and the new Bulk inserter. If you refer to belt stack size, then it makes sense that only stack inserters can move or place entire belt stacks. Plus, Bulk Inserter is a good name for an inserter that can move more items than a regular...

Re: Friday Facts #361 - Train stop limit, Tips and tricks

I liked reading about the tips/tricks/tutorials section (not that I need them at this point). But I wanted to suggest that maybe you SHOULD include a in-game wiki of sorts.

Re: [0.18.32] Fluid mixing by quick-replace

Ooookay..... But are you sure this is intended(ish) behavior? I don't recall having the ability to quick replace an UG pipe with a regular and have fluid mixing come up before now. This seems like a disturbingly easy way to get around the fluid mixing prevention mechanic, one that can easily happen ...

[0.18.32] Cannot place train ghost after rail snap

Spoooooky! Ghost trains! Ok, back to business. Train ghosts need a bit of precision in placing them, despite the image showing them snapping to rails. Since the image of the train shows it snapping to the rail, you'd expect that clicking at that spot will place a ghost at that spot. However, the gam...

[0.18.32] Fluid mixing by quick-replace

Long story short, it appears you can now quick-replace Underground pipes with regular pipes. This allows fluid mixing in situations where the quick-replace should have been blocked.

Re: [0.18.32] Multi-fluid train systems are now much harder

Since fluid systems are reserved according to the connections on machines they are connected to, I'd be very interested to see pumps only connect to a fluid wagon if the system it pumps into matches the fluid in the wagon. Then you could hook up 6 pumps to one side of a wagon, for 6 fluids (water, o...

Re: Friday Facts #350 - Electric mining drill redesign

I have to say, I'm not a fan. I really liked the old design, but it could use a bit of a fixup. Such as the drill heads ALWAYS spinning the same direction no matter if it is forward or back along the rack. Other than that, it is nice. I DO like the look of the current Uranium miners though.

Re: Friday Facts #343 - Environmental particle effects

Do you have nukes scour the decoratives within their radius? I hope so. Some bases can be QUITE large, and that grenade radius for clearing decoratives is very small. I'd hate to have to use a thousand grenades for a single chunk of land to clear out decoratives. Not to mention the precise clicking ...

Re: Friday Facts #341 - Audio, Artillery, Attenuation

The sound of the artillery gives the impression of something falling on the ground after each shot but I can't see anything. Is that the sound of some internal reloading procedure of the cannon, or are you going to add a particle for that? Listening to it, it sounds like it is the metal clank of th...

Re: Friday Facts #334 - New poison cloud animation, flying robot dying effect

I like the new bot debris, but it feels so sudden. I almost feel like the bot corpses ought to at least bounce once before landing perfectly still. And I do vote for a small effect on crash, with perhaps a short duration (3-4 seconds) cloud arising from the corpse. As for the poison, I also love tha...
