I find this thread and all replies humorous.

Sure, include a standard speed run map also. Or series of maps. I'm talking about personal achievements, but it could be nice to have in-game options for speed runners who want to compete with other players.

I think it would be interesting to have a check box at map creation titled something like "enable speed run achievements," which when checked would disable blueprints, only allow randomized map conditions within certain allowed parameters, and have other restrictions to control trivializing the ...

I haven't seen anything posted here or on Reddit about UPS issues, but I've noticed mine tanking here and there on really early progression (haven't even built purple science) where it absolutely wouldn't have, before (a year ago). Although I am playing on a custom map with large amounts of ...

Well, we have cars (and tanks) and trains already, so getting from one side of the base to another isn't impossible, but when you have some really damn big maps, it can take a while even traveling straight there on your fastest train.

6 exoskeletons makes cars and tanks obsolete for character ...

Ok, maybe "Kilobase" would be a better term ;) Is there an agreed upon threshold for "Megabase"? I used to kinda think of it as 1 rocket per minute, which is about 2x what you need for 10 science/sec but requires a similar base size because of the other science packs.

I'd consider a rocket every ...

I realize this thread is a few months old, but in lieu of making a new thread I decided to add my input here.

Iron cost versus everything else is absurd. It would greatly improve the game experience if Iron wasn't needed in 3-4x the quantities of other ores. I've gone through a few million iron so ...

Your "recommended basic amount" of 2 blue belts is WAAY overkill for anything other than a megabase. At that level, you're talking in the ballpark of 8-10 science/sec.

If you want to build a megabase, expect to need a lot of assemblers. ;)

If you consider a factory slightly larger than what you ...

I understand that the 6 second craft time for advanced circuits is supposed to serve as a middle ground between .5 seconds for electronic circuits and 10 seconds for processing units.

However, in the late game, advanced circuits are almost needed in quantities as much as electronic circuits. For a ...

I necroposted for the reasons stated above, and because it's actually a suggestion with a Kovarex response (rare).

Anyway.

Do people feel that it is too powerful, even if severely restricted? As in, being able to even use it once every 5 minutes for player transportation only is too much?

Unobtainium?

Fuel-based pumpjacks could consume some of their own oil production to power themselves.

Player teleporters, please. End game, after everything has been researched. Massive energy requirement, can't teleport non-living things (other than your gear or inventory). Put a cool down on it, if you have to.

After you find a way to overfill assembling machines with stuff so that they have no downtime, you'll find yourself wanting a way to have even faster machines to process all that overfilling. And then you'll want faster assembling machines because with the overkill new speed of your machines, you ...

Running around all the time can get frustrating, but sometimes in games we need to struggle at the beginning to truly appreciate the progress later.

I've seen others share this same idea, but it seems to complicate the game even more. After having just successfully done a Lazy Bastard run, I better appreciate the value of automating supplies and having them go into chests. If you want to craft something that requires yellow belts but don't want ...

Or they could implement the Minecraft solution: powered rail. Just add copper to the crafting recipe and give the track a slightly different look.

Edit: off topic, but I see we became members of this forum only 19 minutes apart. Funny.

Splitting: The names of each split-off network either stay the same or are split into name-1, name-2, name-3, etc. I prefer the former.

I think the concept of splitting networks makes the most sense, rather than merging them. Then you don't have to worry about roboport placement at all, just put ...

Why not just have a logistic chest with programmable conditions, like how automated train instructions work at train stops? For example, if solar panels = 0 then the chest becomes a requester chest. If solar panels = 4800 then the chest becomes a provider chest.

Wow! I didn't know you could do ...
