Re: Friday Facts #223 - Reflections on 2017

Barrels are now useless >.> First impressions would be to agree... Seems that their now too small... I'll play tomorrow. Maybe, when people get used to the change, we'll agree it works? (I thought a stack limit of 1, which would have the same effect, would at least make barrels still seem reasonabl...

Re: 0.16 Fluid wagon separation feature removal POLL

Can't actually say I used the split tanks myself. Didn't need to as I processed oil to solid products or into barrels before moving it. I was, however, planning a very modular factory which might have found it useful... Think about this setup; Acid for batteries and processor boards and minning. Lub...

Re: expensive items : land cruiser

Never did like the 'fighting factory' experimentals in SC. But a mobile construction vehicle, basically a truck with a roboport and some construction bots, it's hold would be a large storage (or buffer) chest. some defense on it would be good, but not so much that you could use it as an assault vehi...

Re: Alternate research tracks

Interresting idea, but perhaps allowing the Labs to do this would cause problems, (my labs used all my red backs because my green got jammed! Now I've got no green left so they're eating all my blues!) Perhaps a conversion in one of the assemblers? Numbers just out the air; you'd have to work out th...

Re: Land Mines in 0.15

I would have expected land mines to be 'invisible' to biters, or at least ignored in favour of more tempting targets (like turrets). The biters shouldn't know to destroy the mines from range unless 'brain bugs'/hive minds or any of those suggestions get implemented. Whats the AoE for a landmine? Is ...

Re: Coal liquification too expensive.

I had chosen low oil settings (Railworld settings) and could have changed that (and did!) For a new map. The question in some ways is probably more a case of 'must players abandon a map without accessable oil or should we give them a diffrent path for oil tech?' The 'restart' option is already avali...

Coal liquification too expensive.

TL;DR The research and process for coal liqufraction is very complex; I think it should be made far more easy to access. What ? Moving the research of coal liqufraction to be between oil processing and advanced oil, or as a side-branch from oil processing so you don't have to get it for advanced oi...

Re: Wiring overhaul

More wire colours sounds good to me. As for the.... um, haywire nature how about hiding wiring, except in ALT view and when holding wire? Just a minor point; coloured wire should be craftable from normal copper wire and back again. It makes no sense to make a red cable with a copper cable and a circ...

Re: Peace with Aliens

Like others have said the Bitters seem too feral for diplomacy. Though taming/controlling them could be interresting. A new race might be an option; we have the Biters so how about the 'Writers?' A more civilised group. The Sci Fi culture usually deals with this by giving mindless hive/swarmy alien...

Re: Train station skipping conditions

I'm not a programer so not sure if this could be worked but... If each station is connected to it's buffer chests then it could put out to the rail-network (as opposed to the circuit or logistic nets) the condition of it's supplies. (Have coal or need coal for example.) A train with that stop next i...

Re: Role playing direction

Why should the skill tree be an exclusive choice? Perhaps not a choice of skills over all but a choice of which ones first? I'd suggest several seperate skill trees, fighter, builder, researcher, labour (digging ores and cutting trees manually? Could tie this in with the trophy 'Caveman' for not usi...
