I mean hand mining bots to recharge them was kinda exploit-y but so far the only thing they've done to personal bots is a passive nerf.
What happened to making them accessible earlier?

What does the pollution help with?
Do the biters get angry at the poison mist and run into it?

They added artifacts back in?
What? When?

If nothing else, basic oil processing should be way more efficient if you just want petroleum so there's a reason to build it at all later on.

It's way too attractive as it is. Many people will just produce all their plastic with BOP and skip most of the cracking. Yes you lose some product ...

At least don't make advanced oil processing just an upgrade that gives way more petroleum on top of also giving heavy and light oil which you can then convert into even more petroleum.

What happened to your idea to make early construction bots?
All you did now is push them back even further.

I don't get it.
Why do you need a 1x1 "quest item consumer"?
Why not just use an inserter like in the actual game?
The "quest item consumer" already exists in the form of the assembler which is a thing that actually exists in free play.

Creating a new special campaign only thing only serves to ...

Why would you ever want to build something that instantly overflows your inventory if you ever want to deconstruct it?


You do not have to collect all ammunition. If you expand, just connect old belt to new with priority splitter. If necessary, it is relatively easy to change direction of the ...

Why would you ever want to build something that instantly overflows your inventory if you ever want to deconstruct it?

Especially in the endgame I find it much too easy to keep the biteers under control.


We should probably not think in terms of "too easy" if it takes 10 minutes for you to reach the other end of your base and do something about the "hard" enemies.
That kind of thing gets old really fast.

Yeah the game is pretty low on contrast in general.

I believe the problem is that per-tile data is very heavy. Currently for each tile 2 layers are stored : terrain and flooring. Revertible landfill needs third layer to be stored.


Doesn't it already have that data somewhere?
If I landfill something and mouseover with landfill, the tile overlay ...

They're something to do.

It wouldn't hurt to have the ability to remove landfill.
Just the one you placed.

I always thought of that ghost mode as something you grow out of as soon as you figured out how blueprints and trains work.
In the early game, a long spaghetti ghost rail does nothing for you so why are you messing around with it?
Just build rails. If you keep running into things you can't remove ...

There's virtually no difference if you build rails by hand.
You just can't get a ghost that snakes around trees anymore and what was your use for that anyway?
I see nobody whining that there is no system in place that spaghettifies their belts around obstacles right now.

Wouldn't multiple versions of every icon be a huge load on vram?

Like other alternative vehicle mods, this would be a neat gimmick for 5 minutes unless you can at the very least automate it to go to places without crashing into trains while being at least as fast as a train and go back to base to restock on materials on its own because every vehicle has to ...

Laser turrets are not "too good", they are just convenient.
They actually suck now, especially if you build power poles right next to them which can get caught in acid.
Their damage seems to have taken a huge hit from constant beam conversion and they keep getting overrun.

I don't think comparing ...

I've never needed "hundreds of train stations".
This seems like an user generated problem.
