Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids


I'm also not sure what I'm seeing before the placement of the pipe on the left and this bothered me as soon as I saw it in the video. There is a pump top right.. why is it blinking? The red line and the x would indicate that both the left and down pipes from the pump on the right top are over the ...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids



A lot of effort seems to have gone into balancing pipes vs wagons, but unfortunately barrels seem to have been (once again) completely forgotten about and are now likely even more useless.

This part made me particularly sad

Will you choose the near-instant transportation of a pipeline, or the ...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids


Instead of using a 250*250 bounding box as the limiting factor the number of pipe segments should be the relevant number. It is far more realistic (which I know is not that important in game design) but it being realistic also makes it more intuitive.

Also instead of either 100% or 0%, the output ...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids


Wait, I don't get the splitting of pipelines. In the example video there is only a pump placed on one of the two lines going out of the T-split. Why doesn't the line going down need a pump?


The line to the left is longer than 250 until the end.
The line going down is shorter.

Re: Friday Facts #409 - Diminishing beacons



Perhaps I missed it, but one of the concerns about meddling with the beacons was whether the user would be able to calculate the benefits quickly in their head. I am not saying head calculus should be a showstopper, but the need for more clear presentation of throughput numbers becomes even more ...

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


Perhaps you could still add the option that if one clicks on a specific item (or member), the minimap will add icons of where that item is stored/located? So you can re-add the functionality of showing where things are, but it is less obtrusive as you do not need all the different minimaps, and ...

Are you sure this is the player? The arm seems to be quite high in the air, even if the player is as close the the foundry as possible. So either this type of power armor also affects you size, or this is more like a Fallout Powerarmor, more of a vehicle than personal equipment.

Dear devs.

Is there any indicator in which direction an assembly machine will connect prior to selecting actual a recipe with fluid input?

Second:

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0




The way the boxes' modes work you would always have the output feeding into the input unless you forced the input and output onto different colored networks. You couldn't have input nor output on both channels without feedback.

You don't get feedback if the signals are different for output ...

I'm with Qon you're asking for a combinator to perform two completely different bits of logic and have two completely different outputs on each wire

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0


Having a combinator being made into something that invisibly (from overview) performs the operations of two unrelated combinators (but still both arithmetic, decider xor selector?) just makes the combinator network harder to read.

That is a definition based on your point of view.

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0



I would like to have an option not only to select different outputs but also choose the channel (red or green) to output to .

This seems pretty pointless. Why would you want this?
If you don't want signals on green wire, just don't connect it.
If you want other data on green wire than red wire ...
