Right... I see

thanks Tertius, that helped me understand the mechanic.
appreciate it.

on further testing, changing it to a specific planet then triggers the orbital drop.
The question then in why?
if I wants any planet my ship visits to be able to supply, then to drop it back...
that's not game breaking right?

I'm requesting an item (Storage Chest in this case)

The ship in orbit has the item...
But it never drops it...
did I miss something, is it me?

30ms is bad. There must be something wrong i guess. How many trains, lines, smart train stops do you have? How many lines have the signal and signal value rules?

20 trains, about 13 lines and currently 46 stations
They all use signals


EDIT/UPDATE:

I changed the following settings, and it seems ...

SmartTrains seems to lagging my game out.

any idea why?

That method only works for a single signal though right?
or can it work to power lights like the original post?

I can't seem to get "Go to station #" working, or maybe I'm interpreting the functionality wrong.

In the below example. I want the train to always go back to the factory (Station 3) from both Iron and Copper (Station 1 and 2).
I can get via signal value at factory to depart to correct stations, but ...

Thanks

Rotating my mining outpost blueprint crashes game.

I've attached the save at the point in which I'm about to place the blueprint (mining outpost blue print in inventory).

Please report any strings that do!

Trying to place blueprints when the mod is turned on causes the game to crash.

(was trying to place this blue print at the time)

Ummm... does that mean whilst lasers are the same "effectiveness", now gun turrets are half as powerful? (double the size, but not any more powerful)

New better night vision, modular solar panels, and turrets I think.

Is there a way to enable these in an existing game?

EDIT: Ignore me... found it....

Wow! Thank you!

Hi Bob,

I've just started playing your mods after seeing it here.

I'm a little lost when it comes to the multi coloured alien artifacts, what are they used for?

Output/Input is 300W and capasity 5kJ. They could discharge under 17 seconds if you got enough consumption. Disconnecting steam engines will help.

Hmm... you're right, disconnecting the steam power seems to make the display showe higher kW output on the accumulators.
This UI for solar energy is ...

don't forget the bug hunting hedgehog!

I'm sorry Connor;

The balance between accumulator storage capacity and transfer rate is very off, I mean VERY off.

I have some pictures below which will illustrate what I'm about to say.

Currently, at FULL discharge, I would only use up about 18kW, but with 8.6MJ storage it works out to be about 10%.

Which means ...

I just tried it out.

You're right, very right.
These Destroyer Capsules are amazing.

change to this setup now.
