Re: Friday Facts #411 - All about asteroids
On average, larger asteroids should rotate slower than smaller ones (because of conservation of angular momentum in any collision) Specifically, due to equipartition of energy, the rotational speed should scale as 1/sqrt(ρr^5) or ρ^(1/3) * m^(-5/6), where ρ is density, r is radius, and m is mass. T...

Re: Friday Facts #394 - Assembler flipping and circuit control
Assembling machine circuit control applyed on centrifuge removes challenge of designing efficient enrichment process. I am not sure it is correct approach. Nobody is forcing you to use this feature. If you want a challenge, don’t use circuits. If you want the challenging of designing an optimal cir...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality
I actually really like this change. It introduces a new level of challenge at every stage of the game, and strategic complexity - and as is made explicit by the FFF, it is entirely optional. If you don't like it, never make a quality module, and you'll never see an enhanced quality item. However...I...

Re: [kovarex] [0.17.16] Pressing Shift in Rail Builder does not allow temporary ghost placement
This removed the possibility to do ghost-rail-building without the remove-obstacles, but since it seems to be almost useless, we consider it to be worth the simplification. This isn't almost useless at all! It's especially good when trying to navigate through cliffs (prior to cliff explosives) or d...
