Re: Accumulator / Solar panel ratio

but isn't the easiest solution just to have more accumulators ? and anyway, you get to nuclear so fast that you might as well skip solar all together for the most part on Nauvis. it might prove more useful on Volcanus so I wouldn't not research it, but I think that's just about it,

Re: Interface Request: Hide minimap when hovering an entity

I was thinking about this lately when I returned to play due to the expansion and my thought was that we should have a toggle (and possibly a hotkey) to hide the minimap - I found myself going into the settings during game sessions to hide and then show the minimap just to be able to see more ...

Re: Version 2.0.25



2. move the tooltip that shows up to the left of the screen - nothing is displayed there so there is a lot of screen "real estate", so why not use it for this temporary information screen ?


FYI, pinned achievements show on the left.

Personally though, I've decreased my GUI scale and removed ...

Re: Version 2.0.25



Please move the pin window to the left of the minimap so that I can see the entire tooltip for entities I hover over. It's so annyoing to decrease the size of the gui to read something in the tooltip and then make it big again all the time. If you add so many things to the tooltip window and it ...

[2.0.22][minor] The tank vehicle side view shows the content under the 'deliver' instead of above the 'filter'

so this is a QoL thing, I think, but it seems that the view of tank content when you hover the mouse over it needs to be above the 'filter' so it's clear which items are being delivered and which are already in the tank.

in the pictures you can see some items look like they are duplicate ...

Awesome.

Can we get a mini map toggle for always-show-lightning-protection like with pollution, pipes, etc.?

No, 2.0.14 was already stable.

Re: Friday Facts #428 - Reactor & Logistics circuit control

this is not clear to me - is the condition enabling or disabling the chest ? I'm reading this as disable because that is what makes more sense to me, but I'm asking because I'm not sure :?:

And - why not use clearer text like "disable if" or "enable if" to avoid this kind of confusion ? :geek:
