Right now, only space platforms appear to support tile damage that I can tell. The only way to simulate it is to do a tile replacement, which doesn't (that I can tell) allow for a dying explosion, and definitely doesn't allow for dealing granular damage.

The main use case I had in mind was using ...

TL;DR
New variable on space locations (modifiable at runtime) that scales the heating energy of buildings.

What?
The variable is a multiplier to the baseline heating energy of each building. At a value of 1 (which would be the default), the heating cost of each building will be the same as ...

It respects the basic mask collisions between the entity and tile as well.

Update on attempting to diagnose bug: Construction robots are respecting the required placement count, it's just that manual placement isn't.

When modifying a tile which is placed by a place_as_tile item (in the following example, refined concrete), the actual placement cost appears to always be one, regardless of what count is specified in placeable_by.
local conc_cost = 3
data.raw.tile["refined-concrete"].placeable_by = {item ...

I have two sets of buildability rules I set up for plants - one that works on water tiles that don't collide with the player (so the plant can be placed in shallows), and one for a set of tiles I've tagged with a special collision layer (for something I want to grow on land, but not into concrete or ...

The topic of limiting cargo pod spam is one that has come up a few times before, and I think this would be a neat way to put management of that in the player's hands. Whether the minimum is specified based on number of dropped items or number of fully occupied slots, I wouldn't be sure; there's also ...

Could just be a matter of personal taste, but it feels weird that the offworld requirement is using a science pack (not just unlocking it) and the Nauvis requirement is unlock-based, so you get "punished" if you're just dumping science packs into whatever's available without production and utility ...

I'm encountering a bug where a connecting player can't sync after a certain event. Unfortunately, the event caused the game to freeze (would accept console menu opens, but no commands and nothing else even opened, not even the exit menu).

The first event happened sometime around the creation of a ...
