They can't do space travel like in KSP, with orbital mechanics, because it requires giving the player the ability to time-warp, to the tune of 500x to 10000x. Even KSP makes some concessions to work, reducing the scale by a factor of 8 and simplifying how gravity works.

I think the one change that'd make Gleba more fun, is removing time-based and pollen-based evolution, and instead basing it on how much Agriculture Science you used. Time-based evolution starts when the player arrives, which feels awful. It encourages players to arrive to Gleba last, and to over-pre...

If Fulgora had to change at all, (I think it's perfect)... I'd have logistics robots turn into a threat if they wonder outside of the lightning rod coverage and get struck by lightning. They'd crash into the nearest building once, and deal damage similar to a tesla round, chaining to nearby building...

Surprised "quality" isn't in that toggle list, cause lemme tell you... it gets bad.

The funniest thing is that a chest's quality actually draws over the bottom-left item in the chest if there's 4 items.

Taken from reddit:

The chat log dropped this super cool picture-in-picture on me. This is such a cool thing, is there a way to see areas like this with a quick hover and no sub-menus, like the link in this chat message did?

TL;DR + What? Could the import planet be set for an entire logistic group, instead of per-item? It'd make it easier to think about, set, and see in the GUI. Why? Currently, the "import planet" option resets to a default for that specific item, when you change the item or quality. This is ...

Increasing the number of rocket parts needed based on the planet's gravity, would be an easy to slot-in way to balance producing material on certain planets, like Vulcanus or Gleba. I *know* internally this had to have been considered. The gravity of the planets matches how easily certain materials ...

The vertical hovering of the mech suit, when standing still, still moves the selection range of your character. This makes selections and menus for selections at the edge of this reach behave clumsily. In the gif, I'm clicking on the chest, but the menu is being closed as my character drifts up and ...

+1 I was looking for if there was a toggle for this. The hovering and landing animations have just enough jitter to them, and it engages based on position with no resistance, that I end up missing some of my clicks when moving horizontally. Bumping into the sides of objects is too useful for positio...

TL;DR Time evolution creates an incentive to actually stall their first Gleba, then invest completely once landed; basing evolution on research progress might avoid this behavior. What? Basing enemy evolution on how many science research beakers are consumed, specifically Red Green or Blue science ...

TBH, I think Factorio fell into a trap with regards to quality: It's an "item stack" game, where unique items occupy a slot and stack to a certain limit... that just added vastly more unique items. Many more. Those included with the mod, then multiplied it by x5 , then gave each one it's o...

What? In the Display Panel GUI's text field, could `return = confirm and close dialog` and `shift+return = new line`? Why? Text entry requires you take your hand off your mouse for typing; re-finding the mouse has a necessary delay to it, where most players will also re-man their WASD controls at t...
