I am not sure if this is a bug, but are heating mechanics really a sub-thread of the Vulcanis tutorial? Vulcanis is the opposite of an ice planet? I am confused.

What did you do?
I played around with crushers, I think I copied one with a metal receipt over another one with a metal receipt or something similar, but don't ask me what I did exactly.

What happened?
There should be three slots only, but ...

This is so essential, I wonder why it doesn't get more responses. I played around a lot to get my trains to do what I want with interrupts, and it goes all down the drain because trains react to the signal faster, than the actions of a train who picked up the signal, update the signal. As an example ...

In theory, e.g. if I drive manually, it's also totally fine clockwise. Why must the train go counter-clockwise?

Sorry I know this gets asked a lot, but I don't understand why the upper train says "No path".

The upper train should go to upper right to lower right circle on the very right.
The lower train is doing his upper left to lower left to lower right circle without complaining.

I would quote this as the right answer, I guess it doesn't matter what you use.

I want to build a defense wall with flamethrower turrets, but am unsure whether to use heavy or light oil. I read somewhere that light oil is more valuable, ist that true? On the other hand I have more light oil at hand, so why not use it?

Nice, efficiency modules are doing wonders, thanks guys for all the elaborate answers!

Ok, so in my latest game I try to control my pollution. I am switching to solar energy (no batteries yet), but in the end the mining drills are by far the biggest pollution factor. In the pollution graphs I can clearly see the impact of the solar panels, as they go off by night - The mining drills ...

I guess I have to be more sensitive about pollution. I thought I can brute force through, but seems like this is no option.

After finding the game too easy I decided to restart with the deathworld setting. I had to restart several times, but finally I was able to defend myself. At some point it looked really good, but now more and more big biters are attacking, and they just laugh at my turrets with standard bullets. I ...

Ok got it, thanks

I just checked the options, aren't the new bug types enabled (by default)?

Ok so with default settings I will not encounter the annyoing flamer bugs which I read about?

Thanks for those great answers, now it's clear.

Thanks! So all it is is a quality of life function?
Why is it then choosable in the first place, and not just turned on?
And what does this strange option "after the game is finished" mean? If I finished the game, why would I want to research something anyway?

I find a lot of threads regarding the research queue availability, but I don't understand the basics - what even is a research queue, and what does this setting do?

Is there the possibility to just use the improvement of the AI, but switch off the new enemy types? Especially the flamy ones sounded not like fun from what I read.
I'd like the AI to be more challenging, but with vanilla enemies, what settings do I have to pick?

Thanks guys!

Ok thanks, is there a way to upper the difficulty a bit? Do I have restart in another mode, if so, which? Or do I just have to be patient and it will get harder the more I pollute the planet?
