Re: Burner inserter is misplaced

The burner inserter makes everything harder, so it should be placed at the end rather than the start, since people are worse at the start but better at the end. You don't put the boss at the start and the tiny rat at the end. To be placed at the end it should be better than electric inserters, not ...

Re: Burner inserter is misplaced

[Koub] Moved from General directly into Won't implement. There's 0 chance the burner inserter, a pre-electricity tech, will ever be moved to the end of the tech tree. It was a complaint about the misplacement of the burner inserter that made it pointless and bloat rather than fun and useful. If I i...

Re: Burner inserter is misplaced

Improvements in technology are deliberately designed and engineered to make things easier . As such it makes sense that advancing down a progression path for things to get easier. Did you miss the part where this is a game, so it should follow general game design rules? People skip the burner inser...

Re: Please Make Science Packs Less Abstract

For science the progress bar and the productivity bonus progress bars are lies. The only ones in the game. It was probably made that way because even one of each flask has pretty major value and you wouldn't want to lose that the same way you lose resources when mining buildings of any other type (i...

Re: Removing rcu?

Anyway if it is true... good riddance. Always disliked that part. It shall not be missed from my side considering there are 3 different eletronics chips already. ^^ RCU is a test if you can actually produce all 3 circuits in large quantities. It basically doubles the production requirement of all 3...

Re: Removing rcu?

Is this true? and if it is; what is the reason to remove rcu in the base game? Yes. To simply rocket production. Do you see how that makes sense for the expansion where the rocket is low tech while it doesn't make sense for the base game where the rocket is supposed to be the end-game challenge? I ...

Removing rcu?

Someone said they will remove rcu when 2.0 is released, even if you don't buy the expansion, for no apparent reason as no new building (except an inserter merger) or production chains from the expansion was going to be added. Is this true? and if it is; what is the reason to remove rcu in the base g...

Re: Nest and a-bomb texture changes permanent?

You can plaster over them with concrete/stone. I am not sure what happens if you then remove the concrete/stone though. Some parts are removed when you place them, same as with bushes and stuff on normal grass. For nests its things like the slime and the pits of... whatever that is. The cracked mud...

Biter nests and atomic bombs causes texture changes on the ground. Are these permanent? Do these have any gameplay effects such as changing pollution absorption?

Re: How to deal with all these biters?

You can sit in one spidertron yourself with a power armor designed for that, then control one more spidertron with a remote. 2 with some practice. However in your case any manual work is too much work with biters set to maximum. I'd say just claim the area that your artilleries have cleared, then mo...

Re: Insterter speed loading from belt

There are many answers, depending on your specific problem. For example, my favorite problem is maximizing UPS with belt to assembling machine. The answer there is underground exit, side load, near side only. Thanks for the answer. The question was about speed, but ups may become important too. My ...

Insterter speed loading from belt

Hello, I'm returning from 0.15-0.16 and it seems loading from sideways undergrounds are now really bad, so what is the fastest way to supply the inserter?

Re: Why are 60 UPS = 1s?

You can change it to 50 ups by typing the following into console: /c game.speed=5/6. Note that this will also affect fps. As far as the engine is concerned with respect to in-game time passing per tick and units (as a result), there are still 60 ticks per second. All the console command does is tel...

Re: How to fix module balance

Re: How to fix module balance

The main reason to use them would be to stretch the supply of a scarce resource on maps without a general abundance of all resources. So what about speed and efficiency? 4xSpd3 in Assem 3s gives +200% speed=300% speed in total for +280% energy consumption=380% of base energy consumption. You can ge...
