I just noticed that in the first video, after watching it several times, that there is actually rain! Somehow I completely missed that! Would it influence the map?

Love the design, love the sound, love the arc-graphics!

I'm confused why the forking is delayed? It looks very strange? It is like the 'particle'-based laser turret we had before and then got updated to be an instantaneous beam…

Looks very cool! Excited to use this! Now that I see the chemical reactor on the space platform, i think it should have an alternate smoke animation. In space it would be more of straight diluting jet, rather than a structure that entrains external fluid (air), mixes, creating vortices and so on… Sc...

And look at the reach of those legendary medium electric poles

Top-left: is that a new water enemy or a tree in the water?

For the people whining that the old one was more real: it wasn't, junctions were severely broken, nothing real about them whatsoever. And on large scale fluids were just annoying. I very much welcome the new mechanics!

I second that the 5s option is not so useful, 10 or 15 would be more useful. Or have it at least remember the selected one. Another thing related to statistics: it would be great if you press P while having an assembly machine dialog open, that it opens the production statistics page with the recipe...

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!

If you mine landfill, does it become *fresh* water? If so, you could make an automated fill… unfill… to get fresh water every time, that can absorb new pollution… There is no difference in pollution absorption between water and polluted water. I thought it would 'saturate', aah well… then there is ...

TL;DR Pressing 'p' while having an assembly machine dialogue open, open the production statistics showing only that item What It would be great that if you have the dialog of an assembly machine or refinery or so open, and when you press 'p' that it would still open the production statistics as bef...
