• When dragging belts, going forward and back will remove the extra belts built.

I don't care if it's present during smart belt building. How to turn it off otherwise?

Conversely, what I know of coding may surpass what you know of it. That which would be pointless for you is not, necessarily, for me.


That may very well be the case, but to me it doesn't make your previous speculations more relevant, the argument " i know more code therefore maybe i'm not ...

Lastly, thank you for making the mods. I won't be one of the users, yet I'm sure there will be a fair number of users. Like every other mod, they increase player choice and enhance the game for that choice. 100% appreciated.

With one caveat: any mod from portal switches achivements into modded ...

Why have mod checks if any mods outside official ones switch achievements into modded state?

2nd contvertial change since 2.0 release.

1st one (removed toggle to disable smart dragging) was reverted 2 weeks and 8 versions later.

Looks like I will not be buying SA in the near future. I don't like how some things started to progress with this game in 2.0...

We don't know exactly what it will be, but some of the more risky changes related to mod interface, quality of life, graphical tweaks... basically changes too big for putting into 2.0 stable.

Including another attempt to force enable smart belts for everyone? >_>

Is option to disable smart belt placing back?

UPD: Looks like it ^_^

Yes please!

Please let us spam belts again!

I was trying to set up my belt bus and could not drag belts sideways. It's very anoying!

Why did the option get removed?

Never used in 2,4k hours of play and never missed it!

And not even mentioned in the Release note!!!

So, I've tried to ...

Is smart belt placement toggle back?


Ya this is killing the game for me, I need it back:(


We sometimes remove obsolete options for the sake of the sake of simplicity.
With smart belt building, it was first off by default, then we changed it to be on by default, as we started to be ...

Because it builds them in the way I don't need.

Good for you. I'm not getting used to constantly rebuild undergrounds after this feature placed them.

From what was showin in FFFs I assume it can be lured into the base out of it's zone (intentionally or not). There was screenshot of demolisher into someone's base.

After a recent update I have to make huge changes to my 1.1 base to keep playing, e.g. rebuild all curved rails with new ones (still cant believe this).

I suggest that there is a warning for 1.1 players which tells about irreversible incompatible changes they will face after an update: 1) that ...

The only part that requires immediate fixing is white science (because of RCU being replaced with blue chips & landing pad that can be placed anywhere, although only one per surface) and long pipelines (new fluid mechanics).

Rails can be postponed: old rails work just fine, but for expension ...

P.S. Downgrading to 1.1.110 and postponing SA purchase until there are at least workarounds.

+1 for the option
