Minor improvement but it's pretty reasonable.

Honestly I'm not against just capping the progress bar to 95% or such until the value is at 100%. This makes it much more clearer at a glance. Could even apply a gradient at the very end to show it, but that's a bit harder to implement.

I'm pretty sure you're low on power. I'm guessing it's trying to match the position of items on the belt but runs into issues at low power.

You can already plant seeds by hand, just not with bots, which I assume is a deliberate choice.

In the past, the radar was a military target and that meant it would always be targeted by enemies, but that was changed I think with 2.0.

It's probably a reasonable change now (it would fit kind of nicely close to the roboport which has its own mini radar).

Huge for Gleba.

There is a setting, that is not active by default (or at least wasn't back in the day), which says something to the effect of selecting an item as a ghost if you have it in your hotbar and click on it but don't actually have any of it in your inventory. This is specifically for when you are not in ...

Going by the numbers in the screenshots, this has about a 0.5% chance of occurring, in other words, you were very unlucky!

For me, by far the best way to make a fully optimize build and understand how it works is the editor. Nothing beats jumping into the editor and making a build and then testing it with the options to speed up the game.

Prior to this, it may be that additional calculations are needed for me to ...

Sorry, another question, is there a reason why the server/client must have the exact same data and CRCs?


Once you have deterministic lockstep, the entire game can be simulated perfectly, without errors, and any remaining errors are due to existing errors in data or data corruption, and any one ...

I guess the best you can do is hop into editor mode and test the ship at 64x speed for a while. You will want to make sure that your ship can get both repair packs and replacement equipment, because in the long run it is likely that something is going to get hit and destroyed. You wanna not have to ...

Seeing the Gleba spore changes in action, this is the first time I can really say that I feel Gleba is properly balanced.

As usual, a lot of great fixes.

Added more variations to small explosion to improve the visuals when many small entities explode at the same time (happens a lot when a space platform is hit by a larger asteroid).

This in particular had been on my mind for a month or so now. Are you psychics ...

I struggle to see how anyone would vote no, if there were more expansions and they were of the same high quality, but I think that's also the catch: It would be an enormous amount of work.

A second expansion would be exponentially more difficult to execute well on and just as much more work. The ...

This is so interesting to hear. I'd thought about it several times, and it makes sense that it should hold up quite well, but I had no proof that it would work this well.

This is a small QoL, but it could be useful.

For now, as a workaround, you can connect miners to the circuit network, and use that to activate a speaker. It's quite useful, especially if you worry about having to check up on the ore field to see if it's running out.


Not quite sure how this works ...

You can do this in the form of a nuclear reactor. They explode if destroyed at higher than 900 degrees, and the explosion will destroy nearby cliffs.

I do agree it just feels too low no matter how you look at it. You could even double the HP and they would still not be too strong. So... actually doubling their health is actually an outright realistic suggestion! That's just how extremely low their HP is!

The critical weaknesses of rocket turrets ...

Thanks for fixing!


If you are sure with your specific steps, could you maybe send a save with the blueprint and place where you observed the behaviour?
(If you are willing to look into it further, I would recommend placing some water canes on the margins of tiles in editor)

I simply copy pasted ...

in most stuck mine ghosts the issue seems to be missing landfill(ghosts). I discovered that in some cases landfill ghost can be removed without removing the landmine ghosts, which might be the cause of this.

Do you remember what method you used for building the mines (manual physical, remote ...

Construction bots will occasionally fail to build land mines (on Gleba in this case).

They seem very much stuck permanently, until manually canceled (and can seemingly cause further construction orders to be stuck as a result too). In my experience, this usually happens in locations close to edges ...
