It's weird tho, canon shells and gun ammo both having a rocket capacity of 25, the suspension of belief is going to very high levels here. :-D


I mean, there's also the fact that an artillery shell takes up as much room in inventory as ten of the turrets that fire it, which also is the same size ...

Launches to which platform?

I only have a single +1 to give, but I'm giving it really hard.

Wow, that was comprehensive! Did you just go through everything manually, or do you have some smart way to query it?

I don't know if it's likely to change at this point, but I agree with you completely.

Very nice!

If a wagon has all slots filtered, filter the new ones to nothing. Otherwise, don't filter them.

How do you know the player wasn't counting on just one or a few slots being unfiltered?

Look, I'm not saying it's some kind of unsolvable problem. Just that I understand why it wasn't a no-brainer ...

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD

Use Q to pick it up instead of dragging it.

I may be misunderstanding, but bioflux is incredibly strong for creating nutrients on Nauvis. You feed your captive biter nests with it.

YES, separate R/G checkboxes for each input AND output function is the perfect answer IMO. It is very easy to understand, and I can't think of any setup that would not become possible.

Inputs would sometimes need to be either/or, though. For some things, like setting requests or filters, it can ...

Changing cargo wagon size would change throughput, but not in a bad way.


It would ruin any setup that has inventory filters set on every slot, counting on that to prevent any other item type from being loaded. They could make it so that when a world is first loaded in the new version, all the ...

On Fulgora, where you usually start to play around with higher quality due to Q3 modules, even legendary ones are pretty useless, since for most of the islands even legendary power poles cannot cover most of the distances between them.


That might actually be an argument against the buff. Not a ...

The real difficulty of the new planets is in 1.1? I can't tell what you're trying to say.

Oh, easily the ice to water recipe.

Not that the recipe doesn't make sense--it's that we have to reach space to unlock the secret of melting an ice cube.

What, you didn't dig up this suggestion from 2016 in your search?

But it allows to feel real difficulty of planets and avoid false statements like one I have cited in my previous post.


The "real difficulty" is the difficulty in unmodded vanilla. The statement was not false whatsoever.

I also don't think it's clear that Gleba is more innovative than Fulgora ...

A mod that drastically changes the pacing and structure of the game is hardly relevant to a discussion around balancing.

I wish for this at least once in every play session.

I like it this way, because it's very easy to accidentally tap the RMB. I interpret it as making sure you intend to be deleting things, then allowing you to do it very quickly after that.
