The easiest way to do this with low tech stuff is grenades. Put up a defensive line of turrets and walls outside of worm range, go in and spam grenades retreat back if biters start to surround you. Trick is to not get hit by the worms. Fairly easy once you get the hang of how worm targeting works. J...

But that does not solve the issue of blocked output.

you'd need lots of sulfur, you'd end up with excess petroleum if you use AOP or BOP or even Coal Liquefaction. EDIT: the other risk is if you want to produce a lot of accumulator, you'd need to consume the PG somehow. This is a big deal, and the response I gave to why there are so many things in PG...

I think the changes are good!
It'll make the game slightly slower for us speedrunners, sub 1h bots will be a real challenge now.

I think it would make more sense to move sulfur and batteries to after chemical sci too. Only affects accumulatiors.

I agree that deconstruction should apply to the upgraded entities, making the upgrade unesesary.

While fixing this could you also fix that bluepriting copies the upgraded entities? Really annoing when you copy a build without noticeing that one random item has not been upgraded yet.

After the first research you are able to use logistics bots to transport items from chests to the player.
The second tech gives the more useful ability to transport items from chests to chests.

The metric of how ups efficient a reactor setup is is really simple. Count number of entities handling fluid or heat. Less is better. Ups efficiency per W is just W/(number of entities handling fluid or heat) Edit: you probarbly need to count heat exangers x3 as they handle 2 types of fluid and heat.

Prod modules when used correctly should reduce the number of assemblers you need.

Consider this example,. You make 60 ultiity sci a minute:
Using assembler2s without modules. -> 107 assembler2s.
If you put prod1s in the assemblers making sci. -> 102 assembler2s.

Labs did use prod1 modules. But tech worth 1300 utility science was researched. And the graph shows 599 consumed. That is close to half the number of utlity science that was acctualy consumed by the labs. Also the statistics changes slightly if you change the timespan. "10h" tab shows a different nu...

Both, This is after a rocket was launched. Unmoded with default setting preset. Science consumed is lower than required for silo tech.

This setup simply does not work, when the assembler produces less than one inserter can move, you run the chance that only one inserter will move it.

If all inserters are in the same chunk it does work. The inserters move every second item.

This is not new, it is related to the inserters being in different chunks. Turn on the grid and you'll see.

It is harder now in a few specific cases. In 0.16 there was a bug that a nest consumed all pollution regardless if it could generate biters from it or not. This caused biter acctivity to not scale in proportion to generated pollution. As this is now fixed biter acctivity scales with pollution now. S...

Most multi level upgrade techs have a research speed of 30s for the two first levels and then 60s for levels 3+. Some of the upgrade techs do not follow this pattern. Inserter stack sice and lab speed techs have 30s for all levels. Mining productivity have 60s for all levels. I propose that this is ...

Yes, asymptotically it was actually 5 times cheaper. So I fixed it for 0.17.6. The cost will be like this: Level 1: 250 (red + green) Level 2: 500 (+blue) Level 3: 1000 (+purple+yellow) of level 4+ is (level - 3) * 2500 I like this! Could you also consider bringing the research time of level 1 to b...

Higher tier assemblers produce less pollution and support modules. At the cost of increased power consumption and build cost.
Works as intended.

As I said above, loving 0.17, BUT, one very negative feedback: I very much dislike the middle-click to clear a quickbar item. Not sure if its bug or something that is planned to be fixed, but the middle mouse button has never been used until now, so why has it been introduced for the sole purpose o...
