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 ...

I personally did find it useful to have Anything as the output signal, but I may not be informed of all the intricacies of this matter.

Are you talking about the "boundary" with how the items on it are drawn, in the middle of the lower belt? The clusters on each side are rendered slightly differently and look kinda different when you look closely. I've seen that frequently too, but I assume there's some sort of reason for it. I ...

They actually survive there (strangely enough). Sometimes they're neutral, but they can start attacking things, and if they destroy the platform hub, the platform is lost.

Thanks for the soundtrack update! It is great to hear the pieces in full glory, even as I type this.

Thanks for all the bug fixes, I've seen the amount of small issues go down drastically!

I also look forward to the last small additions you have in mind.

It's really been a delight!

I have seen this several times as well. I don't know how fixable it is, but it does look kind of odd when it happens.

I have been told it's important that mines are further away, prior to when the enemies aggro to turrets, for them to be properly effective. Explosives are a great choice anyway, and as such, rocket turrets and explosive damage upgrades should most likely be high priority.

For me, running around and ...

My first thought was how incredibly powerful it would be, when I first thought to try it. It makes sense that it's not allowed, it would be basically overpowered, both on planets and on space platforms. Pretty much all of my ship designs would have been reduced to "add cargo bays and don't bother ...

Quite many nice changes! I notice a lot of the small things every few days, and it sure is nice every time! Thanks again.

Factorio is indeed limited by memory speed more often than CPU. You'll have to compare your hardware specs in more detail, in particular, RAM memory.
