Re: Friday Facts #137 - The release scarecrow

Currently, assembly machines stop working when they have stored 8 copper cable as an output, which means after researching enough stack size bonuses, all direct insertion using rapid inseters will suddenly stop working, which would be highly annoying for experienced players and highly confusing for...

Re: Friday Facts #137 - The release scarecrow

I'll start off with, I don't have a big issue with these changes, at least in concept. However, what seems to have been overlooked is how these changes will destroy the usefulness of direct insertion for high throughput items, such as copper cable and gears. If I understood the post correctly, only ...

Re: Friday Facts #132 - Side Project

Go back to needing module 3s for the rocket silo, change the chance of a spawner of dropping an alien artifact to .0000000000000000001%, and sell artifacts on the mobile store for $20 for 50. Technically, it won't be pay to win.

Re: Friday Facts #123 - Better circuit network (Part 2)

Am I understanding correctly, that every single entity that we want to have a circuit condition is going to need its own circuit network condition writer? For example, if I have 32 red circuit factories that I only want working on a single network condition, I will also need 32 writers next to each ...

Pretty much, yeah. I do check out mods relatively often, I guess I just missed this one. Thanks for pointing it out!

Minor Trash Slot Tweak

The logistics trash slots are a great concept to start with, though I feel a minor tweak can make them even more useful than they already are. I suggest some sort of filter that will work similarly to the requester slots. Basically, leave the option to manually drag items into the trash bin, and hav...

My back thanks you for making the icons bigger. My sense of aesthetics thanks you for making things prettier. Not that the old icons were horrible, these are just clearly better.

Re: Robot Production

This is my hopefully not the final version, as I've been having a lot of fun tinkering with this thing. I gave it its own red circuit production and stuck box production in, mainly to keep the general rectangular shape. The various combinators make sure that logistic robots get priority of red circu...

Re: Robot Production

I combined the two ideas into one. I used combinators to keep my 3:1 logistic robot to construction robot ratio and used your set up to produce engines when I have my robot quota. The robot production takes the same amount of space, but I end up not needing an additional engine production line and s...

Robot Production

I haven't seen very many robot builds on here, so I thought I'd share mine. If you can figure a way to make it even more compact, I'll all ears.

Re: Friday Facts #86 - Trees

If you guys want to add a new machine type for just concrete, an idea I like very much, why not have the new machine handle every recipe that uses both solids and fluids? Right now chemical plants handle mostly fluid inputs with a couple solid inputs and assembly machines handle mostly solid inputs ...

Re: Friday Facts #73 Minds versus bytes.

I guess I have more of a question than a criticism. How does the rescue the colonist ending leave room for expansion? I'm struggling to see it. With the previous idea of getting to a galactic market, I could easily see things that could be added later. The inclusion of AI players that are also getti...

Re: 11.7 Multiplayer Crashes

11.8 fixed all issues. I wasn't expecting that to show up until after Christmas, so thanks for the expediency. It's so nice to have devs that actually care about what they're doing. Keep up the good work.

Re: 11.7 Multiplayer Crashes

That's completely understandable. These things happen when a game is under development. I didn't see my issue listed as an issue for yesterday's update, so I felt it was worth bringing it to someone's attention, especially since an outdated pc connecting to a mac seems like it would be a not immedia...

11.7 Multiplayer Crashes

Single player works fine with no problems but when I try to connect to my mom's game my game crashes before it can even attempt to load anything. Her game does not crash. We have identical game settings and versions (11.7). She is using OS X Yosemite and I am using Windows 7. Log File : 0958.118102 ...

Re: New Use For Plastic

I agree with you Nova. This is why I suggested it as more of a finishing touch thing to be added much later down the road. I'm operating on the assumption that because oil is a newer addition than most things in the game, all of the intended uses for the various products haven't been added yet. If w...

Re: Better train logic (smarter alternative route finding)

The only way I've manged to think of to solve that problem is to place rail signals every 4th or 5th rail segment. Also I make bypasses with train stops on them and instruct the train to stop for 0 seconds. Eventually, with enough trains, it may become necessary to cover every single track tile with...

Lol. That would explain why we can carry trains, tanks, and 50 factories in our pockets with room to spare. Props on the out of the box thinking there.
