Re: Train - No path

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

Train - No path

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. https://i.imgur....

On the other hand, turrets so insanely little oil that it doesn't matter.
I would quote this as the right answer, I guess it doesn't matter what you use.

Flamethrower turret - Heavy or light oil?

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?

Drill pollution

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 h...

Re: So deathworld...

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

So deathworld...

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 t...

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

Re: Research queue availability - What is it?

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?

Research queue availability - What is it?

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?

Re: [MOD 0.13.17+] Rampant - 0.17.28

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?

Re: Harmless Wildlife?

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?

Harmless Wildlife?

After completing the tutorial, I started a normal difficulty game with regular settings. Compared to the Tutorial, the wildlife is totally harmless. From time to time a small wave arrives, but they don't even scratch the walls. Is this how it should be?
