I believe this is it.

Actually pipes are more complex than using just pressure difference, (water inertia has to be used as well), and they are currently a little broken (at least I consider them broken, They are not broken. In real life example you would face similar dificulties or shuld I say even more dificulties. I'...

I guess: The pipe-system is very similar to the belt-system. And the rules are very easy: The speed is very, very high and the direction of the pipe-pieces are not fixed like on belts, they change depending on "pressure", so that the direction is always from high pressure to low pressure....

As much as I'd like to examine it you've chosen a horrible download service, try uploading to a reasonable one.

that is pathfinding in an open area. With roads, wich are fixed paths with very few options, you don't need that, just some simple boolean for the crossings. And how does the truck know which boolean to choose...? It's exactly the same problem. I agree though that it's simple, A* is a basic algorit...

3 pumps? 2 is enough for 20 engines. Also, I think steam engines are weaker in 0.6 (510W) and thus 20 engines now require only 26 boilers rather than 30. Can you describe your observation in more detail? It sounds less like pipe resistance, and more like idiosyncracies of where water chooses to flow...

Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

And when I see your numbers: I made some calculations. 12 items per second means, that means a basic belt can handle 48 electrical miners (A miner depletes every 4 secs one item, so 12 itemspersec / 0.25 itemspersec = 48 mines). Can't be true! :) I think 24 is right. You see, too much things I don'...

Optimal usage of belts is a topic of great interest to me. I've spent a lot of time measuring throughput and designing "hacks" similar to what you've described here. I've also encountered some issues which I hope the developers will address. Your numbers are way off. A basic belt can trans...

I'm running 0.6.1 and the problem exists, did you observe something else?

When you place an underground belt, the cursor switches to placing a 180-degree rotated belt. This probably has something to do with the fact the underground belt directionality is defined not by the direction of flow, but by the relative position of the belt and the underground (which is strange in...

In electric network info, when a displayed number is above a kilowatt, it is rounded to a kilowatt. This means that whether it is consuming 1000W or 1999W, the display will be the same. This is not very informative. It will be better if one decimal place will be displayed when the value is between 1...

I've also encountered the problem of the power display randomly switching to scientific notation.

I think it's different for me, I haven't measured but enough is cropped that I can't clearly see what is going on.

When I open the electric network info window, it's wider than the screen causing the margins to be cropped. I'm on 1280x1024 fullscreen.

It's already displayed. Below the name of the item you have text such as "Time: 20". For most items the time is 1 so this line is omitted. Yea, I noticed some items have it. But most don't have. And I doubt more than half items have 1 as manufacture time. There's nothing to doubt. When th...

The number shown under "total raw" is the total for all intermediate items and for the item itself.

What I'd like to have is the ability to set a "reserve charge level" from 0% to 100%. If the accumulator's charge level is higher than the reserve, it will be preferred over steam. If it is lower, steam will be preferred. This way, you can avoid steam if you have enough solar output and ac...

We didn't know about the bitcoins back then. We really like the concept though. On the other hand on our site something like 7 people actually used bitcoins to buy the game. That is just incomparable to paypal numbers. Not sure whether it is due to the fact that people don't know about it or try to...
