Re: Auto-launching of mixed rockets

You can set a custom rocket load out on the space platform, there is a option for that. But I think it's still only a single type of item that gets send, so the rocket is mostly empty. You're supposed to automate that with the circuit network. And honestly I think it's fine that way, it's still easi...

Re: Friday Facts #420 - Fusion Reactor

I think it looks absolutely awesome. But I don't like the mechanics, they feel way to similar to fission, rather repetitive. I'd would love to seen something akin to Helions approach, directly using the magnetic field of the plasma to generate electricity. This way the generator would be pulsed. Mea...

Re: Friday Facts #378 - Trains on another level

Spaghetti trains, hell yeah. With the new ability to Route trains over the base a lot of possibilities open up. I wonder how much awesome stuff is left, surely you can't keep this up until release. That would be one hell of a ride. Also, can I make a wish? Hopper/Funnel unloader: To dump stuff direc...

Re: Friday Facts #305 - The Oil Changes

Hm I don't know about the flamethrower ammo, just using crude oil doesn't feel right. Crude oil is very viscose and actually hard to ignite (don't get it burning so), it just doesn't fit as ammo. I'd have it rather if you would need a recipe change to require: 1x crude oil barrel 2x petroleum barrel...

Allow Armors to charge on power poles

Well the idea is simple,

allow the modular/power armor to be charged in the supply area of power poles.
Helps very much in the mid game when you just researched the tech :-D

How to make pallets work, and fix the bot op problem

OK this is a touchy topic for a lot of people but while I like bots for their versatility I also detest them to be able to get that kind of performance. In order to change that, belts need to be able to be competitive with robots in terms of conveniences and speed. But that is not a easy feat consi...

Re: Attack on Albert: Pressure gauges for the pipes

Indeed, this mod adds everything to solve my problems. But I'm not quite satisfied with it. I don't like the idea of adding nine new items when one configurable item is sufficient. Solving the "connection" mess by adding each piece as standalone isn't good practice. Another solution to tha...

Re: Ideas for some Loading Changes

Well I think you will have to wait until a real pre- game/load lobby system is implemented. It is possible to validate the check sums for a savegame, but squeezing it into the current game wont be easy, at least if my guesses are right. But I agree a proper timestamp system which is only downloading...

Re: Attack on Albert: Pressure gauges for the pipes

Well I'm conditioning my pipe network to be always full pressure with reserves out of the tanks and my current method is not very sustainable one pump in-> two pumps out. That method wastes energy and maybe even resources (haven't tested that yet). I know usually you go refinery -> pump -> tanks -> ...

Actually this one is probably only hard on albert because it needs new Art and very little code (I boldly assume this).
