I love the new soundtracks! Really gave me Jesper Kyd (Hitman 1–4) vibes (electronic + orchestra) with a bit of Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross/Nine Inch Nails. Love it! Love it! Love it!

I would love to see when you pipette ore, that by default you get the burner mining drill, but then it should change to an electric mining drill after your first crafted electric mining drill?

Thanks a lot for all the great updates.

1. Zooming in on vertically-placed big power pole wires (while in radar-view-mode). 2. The wire disappears. 3. I think it should stay visible. 4. Always, but only when the wire is (nearly) vertical, and the poles are at maximum extent. 5. In sandbox mode: place two big power pole vertically from eac...

This all looks fantastic. I love the hinting at more adjustable parameters in the post.
My wish would be that the map generator had some presets like those in Age of empires e.g.: "Lakes", "Archipelago", "Islands", "Desert", "Serengeti", etc…

Since when does a substation have a Rocket capacity ?

Bush is drawn in front of tank. Literally unplayable…

I never used icons in stop names, making that a necessity sounds like a terrible idea

I think this is needed because in multiplayer one player could in Spanish and the other in English. So 'iron' would then not work in e.g. Spanish… icons prevents this entire problem.

I feel weird that we now have 3 concept of 'stacks':

• Stack inserter

• Stack size

• Stacks on belts

Maybe rethink some of this naming. I guess for veterans there is no issue, but for new players this must be utterly confusing…

…is allow the option to lay pipes like power lines. That is, when a powerline is dragged to its maximum range, it places and keeps going, and if there's something in the way it'll build a space short to avoid it…

Seconded

Maybe three tracks per new planet…

Music depending on the planet would be really cool!

In the middle large train yard: what is the icon between the flying robot frame and brick?

Looks exquisite! great job! I like that it can squeeze now in between structure a little bit better

For the steam-power research (50 iron plates); would it show the progress then? so if you crafted 20 or so, it would be 40% filled? The top-right only shows one research technology, but now multiple can be 'researched' at once…

Excellent news!

……Something to make me say “I did it” other than seeing 1000 on a graph……

That would be a great new achievement, some sciencepacks/minute. Would make speedrunners rethink their strategy as well. New challenges.

I had wished something ……… more regarding topography of the landscape like mountains, sea, different biomes, etc.

Each of the 4 planets could have different biomes right? From the images it seems likely this will be added… (to also make them easily distinguishable)
