What did you do?
Created a Vulcanus Ribbonworld.

What happened?

With the debug option "show-segmented-units-on-chart" enabled it makes more sense what is going on:

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious ...

Don’t feel bad - it took me a few tries to figure out the new Space Platform mechanics too :-D

Without giving away too much: it is true that you do need to do the “initial setup” of each Planet by hand since there is no infrastructure to start. But you can switch to Remote View the platform in ...

Circuit changes should be visible on the next “Tick”. You can use the Time controls in Editor Mode to inspect Circuit behavior step-by-step.

You can look at other Mods like Logistic Group Combinator as a good Example.

Good luck!

Initial damage can happen for a few different reasons, from insufficient Ammo (reduce speed until it refills) to a clogged sushi belt (toss some stuff overboard when it gets Full) to a un-Lucky Big Asteroid. Multiple rows of Gun and Rocket turrets help to ensure that something will shoot at the ...

Whatever this is, it compares apples with elephants. Lab quality effect is based on quality of lab and affects how much science must be consumed to research 1 unit of technology. It has nothing to do with quality of science packs which affects how much science a single item had.


“The best way ...

This is at odds with what boskid said, that this value is about lab quality rather than pack quality.

Also, while it's clear to me that you can do a linear transformation that will get from 100/100 to 100%, from 95/100 to 600% and so on, it seems kind of weird that the game will do such a ...

My “wrong answer” which actually worked great: Artillery, and Uranium ammo! It takes lots of rocket launches to get the stuff from Vulcanus/Nauvis, but that’s not a Gleba problem.

I shipped in a bunch of Tungsten plates along with my normal New Planet Robotics & The-Best-Defense-is-a-Good-Offense ...

Actually the asteroid spawning code takes that static speed and multiplies it with

getAsteroidSpawningArea().getWidth().getDouble() + this->getAsteroidSpawningArea().getHeight().getDouble()

And that spawning area is just platformBoundingBox + asteroidSpawningOffset

And that means bigger ...

In the spirit of "posting for issue SEO" for future readers:

ECC Memory has real-world benefits . While sadly not available in most laptops/tablets/small desktops, it is a great idea to have in a serious "Workstation" or "Gaming Rig" - and a must-have to be called a "Server". It does not Guarantee ...

I have also seen an increase in Platform Damage events since the 2.0.41 Beta was released..... It is only happening on Platforms which are traveling faster than 500 km/s, between Gleba/Fulgora/Aquilo/System Edge.

I am trying to narrow down a Reproduction case, but it seems like some turrets are not ...

You can do this (for a single Item type) by using an Arithmetic Combinator to "Copy" the Stack Value onto your Desired Signal:

the Unpossible Crafter!

Impossible Crafter.

As far as I understand, it reads the signal from the assembler and uses the fact the first tick the recipe is set the assembler is still empty and just outputs the recipe ingredients. This signal is stored independently and subtracted from later ...

Yes, but also No:

I agree, but I think the Balance is easier to obtain: Nerf the Base Artillery turret range down from 224/560 (14X the next Highest Railgun Turret at 40) down to something more reasonable to begin with, maybe only 64/160 like a Radar. This makes the numbers all a lot more reasonable, until the ...

So you want to Limit the Turret Firing Arc ? I have tried this mod; it does work good for having a "limited arc", eg to keep Explosive rockets from causing splash damage. I don't like that it has to create "Variants" of each turret, but hey, it works....


I don't understand what this has to do with ...

Vulcanus is the planet closest to the sun, thus providing the best solar panels of any planet.
Except, a single Chemical Plant making steam from calcite and acid is outperforming them all.
Solar panels feel completely wasted on Vulcanus given how trivial it is to make power from steam turbines ...

I agree, but I think the Balance is easier to obtain: Nerf the Base Artillery turret range down from 224/560 (14X the next Highest Railgun Turret at 40) down to something more reasonable to begin with, maybe only 64/160 like a Radar. This makes the numbers all a lot more reasonable, until the higher ...

Radars are already of marginal use in Space, as Chunk exploration is totally different from Planetary Surfaces.

Adding any Circuit feature to Radars is incompatible with the Signal Transmission feature. You could add a checkbox, but I don’t even understand what this Idea is supposed to be for ...

ah! @atomizer you were right! The values are not exactly 10k. they were e.g 10015. So that explains it. Great! thanks.
@eugenekay Yes, I saw that technique, its a little crazy to use such features because sooner or later they're going to switch to 8 byte integers I guess, in fact they already have ...
