Luckily, if you don't like any of these new modes of playing, there's still good ol' 2.0 that you can play to your heart's content!


FWIW this kind of comes across like, "you can just go back to the old game and ignore the money you spent on Space Age if you don't like it." Not sure if that's ...

You're right that Nauvis -> Vulcanis -> Fulgora -> Gleba is the clearly intended progression if you want the least amount of friction. But this kind of speaks to my point.

The original game didn't prescribe a super clear path through the tech tree, and in general it didn't actively punish you for ...

I will 1000% agree with your first point. And I don’t think you’ll find too many people defending that one either. I totally get the “messy tangled organic mess” vibe the devs were aiming for, and I guess to their credit they achieved that. But it’s also a masterclass in un-usability and visual ...

Okay, I understand then, if the point is to make use of a waste product.

I'm not convinced it's worth the extra effort, and there are automated ways to void fluids. But I can appreciate the challenge of a "zero waste" factory.

What is the goal here? Is it to figure out the best ways to abuse only the foundry's prod bonus? Or to get the most legendary plates per minute?

A single upcycled metallic asteroid chunk will net you (with full crusher prod bonuses) 120 legendary plates after smelting the ore. I'm pretty sure ...

Well, I'm on an i7-13700 with a hardware RAIDed NVM setup with read benchmarks close to 6GB/s through DirectStorage. I never see the disk utilization go above ~15% while the game is launching, which makes me really wonder what the game code is doing that hangs the window for 6-7 seconds...

Other ...

What's the alternative behavior?


One perfectly reasonable option would simply be to discard any fluid in the internal buffer that doesn't match the new filter. It's basically the same thing that happens with crafting machines (and has been confirmed to be by design ), just on a much smaller ...

If you run the game (on Windows) in windowed mode, the window cannot be moved, resized, or minimized for long periods of time while the game is launching. Attempting to click anywhere in the window causes "not responding" to be added to the window title. This only seems to happen the first time the ...

It seem you are only considering the use in platforms that have insufficient energy production...


I have a legendary fusion reactor and a legendary generator. 125 MW would be more than enough for the entities on my platform if it weren't for these extra-large power spikes.


...makes it sound ...

The bug is exactly what the title says. :roll:

Here's the max recharge rate, from the game files :


614 input_flow_limit = "9600kW",


So for 4 laser turrets firing at once, the maximum drain I should see is 38.4 MW. But I'm seeing 96 MW for 4 legendary turrets, which is exactly 2.5 times the ...

I have 5 legendary laser turrets on a space platform. Here's a screenshot of the power drain when 4 of them fire at once:

These 5 turrets have the potential to wipe out an entire legendary fusion generator on their own for a few ticks, multiple times per second. This is completely ...

The power draw of those are all different.

The question isn’t “how much power does your factory have to use in order to get a specific neighbor bonus”.

The original post is complaining that for any given power draw, different quality reactors result in different neighbor bonuses, which impacts ...

Even on the easiest plant to use it on (Aquilo, as you don't have to ship anything other than holmium there to sustain fusion), I don't bother with it, because I can't get heat out of it that I desperately need on that planet.


I'm 100% with you on this one. Not having a plasma heat exchanger ...

Saying that some other factor produces the same negative effect that "upgrading" quality does, does not disprove or discount the fact that higher quality makes that thing worse .


It makes that thing worse for your use case.

It sounds like you want quality to be a multiplier on the neighbor ...

It is directly related to quality. More active reactors gives higher efficiency bonus. How do you get the most active reactors? Use those with the lowest output. It's that simple.


This is the part where you went wrong. It may seem that way from your measurements, but you're interpreting the ...

You can exploit this behavior to void any fluids you don't want. A single assembler, with a circuit toggling the ice platform recipe on/off every tick, will erase thousands of units of ammonia per second.

It would essentially break recipe switching involving fluids if they "fixed" this, so I can ...

Honestly, this sounds like a bug that should be reported as such. There are lots of bugs like this that they're simply unaware of, and don't find out about until mods start exercising things in ways the base game doesn't.

A giant +1 on this.

TBH, this isn't even a feature request. This feature already exists in the game, but for some inscrutable reason it's only exposed in some places but not others.

Maybe the title of this suggestion should be "please finish your half-completed updates to circuit networks". :lol:
