"Compilatron builds a mining setup for the player and then the Objective window directs the player to feed the produced plates into the 'feeder'. Once that is complete, the 'feeder' is removed and the player needs to load and unload the assembling machine with inserters. " im just happy i ...

Re: Friday Facts #266 - Cleanup of mechanics

these are just beautifull simplifications! thank you so much!

""Reduce the number of damage types to something like: generic, impact, heat, and acid.""
generic and impact can savely be merged into "kinetic", people know and trust it. ;)

Re: Friday Facts #249 - Dead end exploration

Proposal 3 is the one!
solves everything, is very simple and creates no new problems.
the others are just as shoehorned as the current one....simplicity is key!

im also psyched about the copy - paste function!

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

bots can absolutely handle a few nerfs here and there. not realy sure about the chargetime, might get annoying with personal robots. maybe cut down the range, making em suck at longrange transporting would give belts the edge in that category. i would prefer a balanced nerfing, cut some range, incre...

Re: Friday Facts #198 - Rail segment visualisation

you could put the railsignalblock-details into "Alt"-mode, like the inserter and assambler-details. if its a temporary visual, its not that bad if its a little cluttered.

yes, change it! have been playing for 3 years? no... 5?.... idk anymore. while the old (current) UI does a good job getting all the information into the players hands, it can definately use some streamlining. i do vaguely remember that the UI needed some getting used to in the beginning. anyway, loo...

Re: Friday Facts #133 - The train struggle

the train thing is a useless timesink, no matter what you come up with, it will look wrong. i would prefer a 4x1 Loader i can slab onto my factorys etc. instead of a heavy inserter tbh. a better inserter adds no gameplayvalue whatsoever. as i see it a 4x1 Loader would have 1 tile with lights and ant...

im a little on the fence about the "Loader", i realy want it for high throughput cases where you would need 8? fast inserters to max a expressbelt. but trains can allready be full loaded and unloaded in 10seconds, bringing this further down to like 5seconds would realy bother me for some r...

Re: [0.12.0] Constructionbots repairing Combatbots

i realize that it was just a funny odity pre .12 but since personal roboports make it a permanent issue it gets anoying quickly. sure, its low priority, but it still is unwanted behaviour that needs fixing.

Hi, not a serious issue, but having personal constructionbots chasing your combatbots around the biterbase is kinda useless. ;) me thinks there should be an exeption for damaged combatbots, so they are not considdered for repairs, since they are temporary anyways. imho the loss of constructionbots i...
