Re: Lower Level, Non-Slotted Armor
It makes a small difference. Appropriately, because it's very, very early tech. Worrying trend for threads suggesting that things be gotten rid of recently. Wonder why. It just seems like a superfluous item that doesn't really do much, since by the time most players are actually interacting with bi...

Lower Level, Non-Slotted Armor
Does the lower level, non-slotted armor actually do anything relevant? Let’s say you’re fighting biters: does the armor actually increase your staying power enough to notice a difference compared to not wearing armor at all? So far, I personally haven’t noticed. If lower level armor doesn't create a...

Flamethrowers Running out of Fuel
Is there any reason why my flamethrowers would lose access to the light oil used to supply them? Things I've tried so far... Make sure there's enough light oil. Make sure all the FT are connected by pipes. Make sure bitters or spitters didn't damage any pipes. Checked for missing pipes. The odd thin...

Re: Flying Robot Frames not moving to Construction Robot Assembler
Is the output chest full for your robots. Like have you limited it and its full of logistic bots. I wouldn't think so. I don't have any circuit network limiters on the chests or the inserters. In the chest currently are 37 logistics robots. EDIT: When I replaced the Logistics robot recipe with a co...

Flying Robot Frames not moving to Construction Robot Assembler
So I have an interesting problem. When making Flying Robot Frames in an Assembler 2 machine, they will not get picked up by the Long Handed Inserter to transfer to the Construction Robot Assembler. Please have a look at the attached screen shot. What does happen, is that the FRB assembler completes ...

Biters in Starting Area?
Hello all, Just checking something. In 17.32, on regular default, no-tweaked settings, there are multiple biter nests within my starting area. Is this working as designed, a bug, or just an experimental feature the devs might change later. On normal default, and no matter which map string I try, at ...

When do YOU give up and start fresh?
So I've launched rockets on two maps now, and I'm finding to do so on my third map is proving to be rather frustrating.
I was just curious what other players' thoughts were about throwing in the towel on a game. When do you say, "Ok, I've had it with this map, time to start over?"

Re: Not pleased with 17.1 so far...
If the game becomes too easy or not enough of a challenge, then I'm sure those sliders can help increase the difficulty. The game is intended for all, not solely your masachistic tastes. But your responses do imply your lack of open mindedness, level of willingness to participate in a community and ...

Re: .17 opinions?
By far the biggest issue for me though (and if you look around on the forums for a good portion of other players): Default Settings Freeplay is unreasonably hard. I won't elaborate too much on this because there are specific threads for that toppic, but in my oppinion the vanilla experience doesn't...

Re: Not pleased with 17.1 so far...
Graphics aside, the combat feels heavily in favor of the biters now. It feels more like a combat game and less like a building game. I had the game set to default in 17.1, and within 5 minutes I had biters on my base. Also, these small biters were doing WAY more damage than any other small biter I'...

Re: Slow Pickup for Turret Walking
Since I as a human still experience time relatively, this increases and lengthens the time it takes to retrieve a turret. Regardless if the change is global or not is irrelevant. From a player's POV, the only tools they have are their time (how fast they can do things) and their resources (what they...

Re: Slow Pickup for Turret Walking
Has anyone else noticed a severe difference between the time it takes to pick up turrets between 0.16 and 0.17? Actually turrets by themselves have not been made "longer to pick up". Buildings are globally longer to pick up (tested with assembling machines, layed 50 of them, and picked th...

Re: Not pleased with 17.1 so far...
A easy, medium, hard for each setting could be an option. As far as what easy is, you have to establish a baseline of normal first. Normal could be dependent on a lot of things, but generally, it would be based on resources spent over time to reach a desired outcome. e.g., on "Normal", it ...

Re: .17 opinions?
They went a little heavy handed with the biters this go 'round. Regardless what the math may or may not be, the experience of playing the game and pressing the buttons leaves me with a feeling that the difficulty on normal default level went WAY up. Turrets are the only item in the game now that hav...

Re: Not pleased with 17.1 so far...
I suppose a possible solution would have settings such as Easy, Normal, Hard, etc. Not to be confused with different game modes, like Rail World, Deathworld, etc. I understand the sliders bit, but from a new player POV and from a UX/UI POV, if a new players launches the game and hits new game, they ...

Re: Not pleased with 17.1 so far...
Then if that's the case, which is entirely their prerogative, the devs need to add a clear and obvious written or visual indicator to the player that the turret takes longer to pick up either via a stat or an entry in the description. Otherwise, a new player would be lost as to why the turret is the...
