Re: Game should remember last used/selected quality / planet

For planet selection, except for items that can only be produced on specific ones, I think no default might even be better than the current default. I too often forget to change the default, and have to come back 1h later to realise my mistake…

Regarding item/recipe selection, I think the already ...

Re: For already configured recipes, when reopening factories, directly display the five quality levels as well. (And mor

That’s why I put “(distinct)” in my message. For same recipe assemblers it’s not much of a problem.

Two main use cases:
malls of different qualities – I don’t know how people do it most, but if I try to produce high quality from ingredients that are hard to get at high quality (e.g. holmium plates ...

Re: Double click new quality buttons to confirm recipe

The UI is designed with recipe/item selection above the quality, which in terms of UX, pushes users to select recipe/item first, and quality afterwards.

Being able to double-click the quality would totally make sense (as long as it does not change the operator at the same time, where relevant, as ...

I’m quite often copying an existing setup, and only want to change the quality after pasting. Currently it requires to manually change the whole recipe on each (distinct) assembler. Being able to change just the quality would be very convenient...

Re: Allow remotely moving items from spidertron logistic trash to its inventory

What’s a shame is that even construction bots can’t use the items from the trash slots for construction. I was trying to to upgrade the quality of some walls but didn’t have enough rare. Since bots didn’t upgrade the most important parts of the wall, I wanted to change which walls were upgraded, but ...

Re: Quick select planet without opening filter and planet filtering

Personally, what annoys me most is that I tend to double click the planet (like for other selections), and it clauses the 2 dialogs (because the second click is outside the first dialog), without applying the change!

I quite like the propositions in this thread. It could also possibly allow ...

Re: [2.0.15] No vault ruin near Fulgora landing site.

I don’t know if it’s worth reporting it but in my case the closest vault ruin was completely enclosed with cliffs, so I couldn’t mine it. I had bots with me so I ended up using them instead but it was a bit confusing as I couldn’t immediately find another one.

Re: Left-handed text copy/paste shortcuts [Accessibility]

As stated in the other topic, this would also be very useful for people who don't use a QWERTY-based layout. I am personally using the BÉPO layout and doing CTRL+C/V with the left hand is difficult/not possible.
I am thus using CTRL/SHIFT+insert/delete on a keyboard that has dedicated macros for ...

Re: New Blueprints - Better Symmetry Point


So how about another way - use current behaviour, but add an "offset anchor". Show the "center map" in the blueprint GUI (intersecting lines like in the picture above, with some flag in the center) and allow to drag it (e.g. by Shift + RMB). Unchanged anchor will automatically align to the corner ...

Just stopping by to say shift+delete to cut is the stupidest shortcut I've ever come across and personally caused me a large amount of pain before I knew it was a thing and disabled it.


Shift+delete is not a shortcut that you would press by mistake, would you?

[0.18.27] Cut/copy/paste keyboard macros often fail in game

I have a keyboard¹ which has physical keys for cut/copy/paste. These keys are macros that send shift+delete, control+insert and shift+insert, respectively. I have thus mapped those as secondary bindings for cut/copy/paste tools.

It appears, however, that those shortcuts often fail in game, like 75 ...

[Twinsen][0.17.17] Gates next to diagonal cliff remain (half) open

When you build a gate in contact with a diagonal cliff, it is initially closed as expected, but once it opens it never closes again.
Moreover if the gate extends over several times, only the first gate tile remains open, the remaining ones will close as intended – so the gate is half open/closed.
