Roboport waypoint setting

Give roboports a waypoint setting, robots that start or end a trip in the zone of a waypoint Rockport must move from roboport until they reach a roboport that is not set to waypoint mode. Reduces robots ability to fly stupidly over aliens when your base is not a recangle.

Optimal usage of landfill creates terrible gameplay.

With the way landfill is currently implemented, you get about 4x more land if you place one tile at a time (example: at a right angle corner, place 2 tiles off each shore, you will fill in a 2x2 area with one landfill) I realize there is some technical weirdness with the implementation of landfill i...

Re: Trying to make a train stop/bypass. confused about signals

2. Your offload stations are back-out, therefore bidirectional, but they're signalled as one-way. Trains leaving the area won't be signal-controlled within that area and therefore, well, you're gonna lose trains. Actually, a signal on one side makes it so automatic trains can't go the other way, so...

Re: Trying to make a train stop/bypass. confused about signals

1. Your original bypass has me all kinds of confused. Did you intend that the train could stop there coming from either direction? Then why isn't there a second train stop? If it's supposed to be one way, why is there a leg going back north? And why isn't the merge on the south end signaled correct...

Re: Trying to make a train stop/bypass. confused about signals

More images of my train system in case I have screwed something else up and that is the problem instead
Train T Junction
Train Offload
All other parts of my network are straight rail between T junctions.

Yes.

Removing one of the two causes the train to fail to path from this stop or the offload stop. (left one removed prevents this stop from being reached, the right one removed prevents the offload stop from being reached)

Re: Trying to make a train stop/bypass. confused about signals

my apologies, I realize (now that I have slept) my post could have been more clear. I may have been posting under the influence of "5 am" and "just about to pass out after working the night shift" the issue: the signals in orange. Without a signal there, the train bypass (blue) i...

Re: questions about .11 saves/mapgen for .12 (neat map pic/seed)

Is there anything we should do to prepare (ie. for the turret hitbox change etc.) or will it all be fixable once we load up in .12? I wonder about this. Will turrets crash and burn colliding with walls, disappear or what? Will laser turrets change as well or only conventional ones? If I had to take...

questions about .11 saves/mapgen for .12 (neat map pic/seed)

One: will saves from .11 work in .12? Two: will world exchange strings be the same from .11 to .12? Three: Check out my awesome island. http://i.imgur.com/nUxvXaV.png This is the only place the starting area connects to other land. It is going to be super fun to get trains through this. http://i.img...
