I think the main thing that quality is used for, is really just "I have finished the addon, but want to make a megabase" or "I want to micro-optimise my entire factory". Both of which are things you do later. The fact that they want you to use the recycling machine to try and get better quality ...

[Removed, off topic]

the whole "tiny chance for a rare item!" thing is ill. I really don't get it.

The excitement of getting directly a rare power armor from common ingredients when you are super lucky is the same as getting BAR-BAR-BAR in the ...

very exciting FFF! loved reading about the inner workings of these systems, and the results look gorgeous!!! great job : )

elusive bug in which somebody accidentally deconstructs the whole map.

to reproduce:
- have a decon planner in hand slot
- be on map view
- click on a ping in chat

--> decon the whole map when you release mouse1


this webm shows what happens
(mouse1-release not shown because of recording ...

5. In big numbers, the quality is basically statistics, but in small numbers the random aspect can be quite fun in a different way. Especially for personal armors and equipment, we always ended up having an assembling machine with the best quality modules in the center of the factory dedicated for ...

It's an issue, it's not into the "not a bug". The classification of "minor" is subjective, it's an answer similar to "this is not intented" imo.

So out of your 3 reassuring proposition i think one is implicit. but not the most promising :/


yeah, you are right. i guess i should at least ...

There is pretty much no reason to produce fish, let alone automatically. So I think it’s reasonable to classify it as a minor bug. (I am even surprised the devs even acknowledge it as a bug?)

i don't agree with this reasoning. there's pretty much no reason to produce landmines either. or combat ...

The bug is classified as minor issue, until someone decides, it is worth to be fixed.
That might be not satisfying, but it's just how it works with non critical bugs.
it's not satisfying 'cause in my eyes the "minor" classification does not feel thought through very well.
my questions in the bug ...

Well, fish bred in space (I assume some gen engineering process which requires zero gravity) should be expensive. :-)
yeah, and a rocket for a stack of fish is expensive already. a rocket for 12 fish is just preposterous.

the issue here is that, in "a game about automation", the game encourages ...

from a vanilla gameplay perspective it is incredibly minor.
i only play vanilla, and for me it's incredibly annoying. a mod could """fix""" this by implementing an inserter with a 100-item stack, but i only play on a vanilla mp server.

this bug prevents us from efficiently making fish. i ...

if multiple inserters put stuff into it on the same frame, the silo only takes from one of them. more info here.

wake me up when they fix the rocket silo

Hello. Something weird just happened to me. I was briefly afk'ing on a server, minding my own business, when suddenly i hear new messages. I turn to look, and half of the map has been deconned, so i scramble to cancel the decon orders, but people make me notice how my name is on the original decon ...

i've bothered my fellow server-dwellers countless time about these two OSTs:

FEZ OST - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXfos-mAMMA
Hyper Light Drifter OST - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq7a_ktfYck

They've helped me get in the mood to build large projects countless times. Can't recommend them ...

There is just no way to (automatically) input more than 12 items simultaneously in a silo right now.

Here is what we know:
- once a rocket is ready, the silo does not require power to launch. (meaning power switches are useless for launch control)
- silos have no circuit network capabilities ...

it looks out of context, but the problems and the attempted workarounds are explained thorouhgly.
anything between this line and Koub's post was in the original thread ...

that's the purpose of all that circuitry i built. It only inputs exactly 100 items on the same tick .

I am not saying it should wait for a full stack. I am saying that if i synchronize a number of inserters to output to the silo simultaneously, the silo prevents me from doing that.

Was it ...

I can see that! The question is: why?

Is this a bug? Or is this the inteded way for the silo to work?

I don't see any reason the silo should behave differently from a wagon.

I've searched far and wide but i couldn't find this issue addressed directly anywhere else.

If i insert multiple stacks of items in a rocket silo on the same tick, all but one stacks are ignored by the silo, leaving the remaining inserters hanging as the rocket launches.

When a second rocket is ...

friendly reminder this is still a thing. idk how bothersome it is to fix such an "issue"

also 1.1 is amazing <3
