When I hover over a vehicle, it pops up a screen in the bottom right and shows, among other things, the current speed. When I hover over my character, no such window appears. Is there any way to see my character's current speed? (e.g. I'm curious if I'm going faster than a car with my current number ...

Late game I rarely leave spidertron, and its a shame that this makes concrete ~useless. Also Spidertron is a bit slow with "only" three exoskeletons. Giving Spidertron a speed boost on concrete would make it faster to navigate the base and keep the incentive to mass-produce and mass-deploy refined ...

I get the same error. Worked in 0.17.15 last night. Hope my save isn't lost...

Why not publish this as a mod? (to make installation easier)

Thanks everyone for the help, especially Kelderek for the annotated images! I managed to get it working.

I'm trying to get my first multi-train track working, but either I can't figure out signals or my design is busted. My base is supposed to have two unloading stations with a loop on the end; there are two corresponding iron stations on the other end of the track (each iron station has its their own ...

I'm really excited to hear about plans for a new campaign. The current one (and goal/story-oriented content in general) is one of my favorite parts of the game.

You may have patch not very far, but they are poor in ressources, each patch got more and more ressource as distance between said patch and starting area grow. Each outpost will then last longer.
I have always found there to be enough resources within comfortable belt distance to "finish the game ...

In all my vanilla playthroughs (including a just-finished 0.14), I have never felt the need for trains. A few-hundred tile conveyer belt always seemed more convenient. Please change something so that trains become a natural option (As of a while ago, the RSO mod did a good job of this).

Buggi: You can use a priority queue for this, which can find the next (i.e. lowest-time event for you). I don't know Lua, but it should be easy to find an implementation online (or in the Lua libraries), for example https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Priority_queue#Lua

Then your main loop can look ...

That worked! Thanks for your help.

Right now, the fact that inserters always place on the far or left side of the belt constrains some designs, especially early game. It would be really helpful to have this be a programmable option on the inserters.

The options should be "far vs. near" and "left ...
