Re: Friday Facts #416 - Fluids 2.0

This is an improvement, but I still wouldn't consider it "good", as I think it takes too much of the challenge away. The biggest example of this, which has also already been mentioned by others, is water supply to nuclear plants, which sounds like it'll be almost trivial to solve now. I ho...

Re: Friday Facts #404 - Frustration not found

Pipette a train in the train GUI to get a blueprint of the whole train (minus cargo and fuel) and its schedule/group. Saves you finding an existing train, waiting for it to stop and then carefully selecting it and weeding out other entities.

Re: Friday Facts #382 - Logistic groups

My questions, apologies if already asked:

Can I build two platform arms next to each other, and throw items over the gap with inserters?

And will the growable terrain mechanic be available for mods? I can imagine how awesome it would be to make creep actually grow!

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

Overall, I love this! But I also hate the names! I expect you will make them moddable though, right? I'd name them something like Crude/Low (and you only realize the quality wasn't even good before you unlock quality modules and see it), Normal/Nominal, High/Great, Exceptional/Superior and Pristine/...

Re: Spread out trains among stops with shared names by adding a routing penalty per train already heading to a given sto

Incidentally, other than the absolute capacity of the track, you *should* be able to solve this with more trains. ... I'm much more inclined to ascribe this to a human design error than a bug, though, and neither requires a change to the pathfinder or train schedules to continue to work correctly. ...

Spread out trains among stops with shared names by adding a routing penalty per train already heading to a given stop

(To mods: I butter-fingered the submit button while typing this on my phone. There was no way to open the old post and edit it, and I don't have access to private messages. I hope you understand, and delete the other incomplete post.) TL;DR A better built-in mechanism to spread out trains between st...
