I've been thinking of making a small Xander tweak mod to add concrete and reinforced concrete walls. Probably, those would just be more efficient recipies for walls that used more sophisticated types of concrete. I was also thinking of adding a refinery process to extract CO2 from the atmosphere ...

Are VSLI wafers used for anything yet? I can't find reference to them?

I work in the field and find the idea of making virtual ones in my off time to be oddly entertaining. I also like the thought of using them to play the silicon lottery -- having to test finished products and getting a random ...

There should be a nuclear battery that you can reprocess instead of charge or electric trains could simply accept nuclear fuel cells and return spend fuel cells. The difference between 120% acceleration and 200% is just too big to keep electric trains otherwise.


"nuclear battery" ? You're just ...

Could the flare stack be used to boil off excess water? This could allow excess water from water filtration plants to be automatically disposed of in an alternative way.

Has anyone found any conflicts between IR and Rampant?

I'd go with a single buffer chest right before the car. If it has contents, it turns off the input inserter. If the contents remain for more than an inserter cycle, then there either is no car, or the car is full.

IR Diggy (from RedMew) is an even slower start, but I find it quite interesting. I modded it to included the new ores and make saplings buy-able, and now I have a pretty good setup going. I might need to tweak tin ore spawning a bit more and move iron ore farther out, but aside from that it's doing ...

FARL works in my quick test. No errors, the recipes are possible, and the basic functions look good. Will report if any problems arise.

What sorts of logistics networks have people set up using just cars? Since we can conveniently carry a pocketfull wherever we go, we can drive out to several separate bases to set up multiple cars to load up over time. Using circuit conditions, we can even be notified when a car is full!

Within ...

Seconded, that sounds like a great idea.

It would be interesting to have an option like the train's tank car that drives around freely like the car.

Looking at the ore processing procedures:

Miner -> Ore
Ore Crusher -> Crushed Ore
Purification Plant -> Refined Ore
Ore Crusher -> Powdered Ore
Furnance -> Ingot

Out of curiosity, did you ever consider using a chemical plant for the powdered ore instead of using an ore crusher twice? I think it ...

Idea: Remove logistics bots entirely.

Now I just need to figure out how to convince my boss I'm too sick to work.

Possible, possible. The important thing is it's the number of people in proportion to the number of machines.

Why not make it so that only one bot can use a logistics chest at a time, and it takes time for a bot to pull from a chest? This puts them securely in their role of distributing rare resources in a flexible way without overlapping bulk transport. It can be manipulated by developing more and more ...

I like your ideas, and your CGI stuff looks amazing too!

Is it at all possible to have citizens act like bots to some degree? Ferrying resources and building buildings? Or perhaps to limit the number of functional assemblers based on the number of people you have to work in them? This would make ...

Just checking, but by "early September," you do mean September 1st, right?
