Remaining distance to planet/etc

Please additionally provide the distance to the target planet as a signal from the Space hub.

By integrating the velocity over time, we get a considerable error, since velocity is rounded to integer.

Another solution would be to provide velocity in m/s for higher precision, but I still prefer to ...

Re: Improvement of crafting queue

I can't believe these haven't been implemented yet.

1) When an item is in the toolbox, and when crafting something that requires that item as one of the ingredients, then do NOT take away that item to craft the current item. Example: Normal ...

Re: Improved Vehicle Control

There is a mod which perfectly solves this issue. It's called Vehicle Snap. Please integrate it into vanilla.

No need for complex solutions, or breaking changes here.

Re: Water as limited ressource

Please add underwater enemy for Aquilo. Something with tentacles or just a sea worm monster similar to the one in vulcanus.

Re: Cable Resistance / Non-lossless Power Transmission


This is about energy loss over distance .

First: The point, why I underline "over distance" is, that it makes no sense to add just some power loss per power pole or add different power networks with different voltage and transformers between the networks (just two examples of many ideas). The ...

Re: Reading and setting the pumping speed

Disable damage alerts for specific spaceships/surfaces

Some spaceships get minor damage and that is totally acceptable. The ship is planned to repair such minimal damage.

The problem is, damage alerts get mixed with planet damage alerts from biters/etc, which are utterly important. No one has patience to constantly check the damage in this case, since ...

Re: Train to train loading --> bigger chests (1x2)

Many years later I still want this. Why can't we get a 1x2 chest in vanilla?

Even if it is just wood, iron and steel, no need for logistics ones.

Re: Quality should increase train wagons capacity.

Please also increase locomotive max speed and acceleration with higher quality.

Because it simply makes absolute sense to do it.

Trains simply need more love in this game, especially less use of UPS for having wonderful train megabases again. Because everything done with belts just because of bad ...

If there's one thing that my particular brain worms will not allow when building; it's waste. Raw materials used imperfectly, wasted space, idle machines at peak load, excess power usage; it's all gotta go. Productivity modules will be crammed into every space they can and efficiency beacons at ...

Re: Bad Cargo Wagon Performance in Vanilla

Well, it would be really nice to have the mentioned chests in vanilla. That would allow very interesting constructs... even if it were just a 1x2 chest, I can just imagine how much I could do with it. 1x3, 1x4, 2x2, 2x3: that would be a dream realized.

Thats actually the source of the problem ...

Bad Cargo Wagon Performance in Vanilla

When building the prototype of a megabase with huge trains, I've noticed that I could use a single Cargo Wagon on 2 pieces of rail as a big 2 x 6 chest. I needed this because the 1x1 chest does not satisfy several design conditions as a temporary buffer for unloading from train directly to factories ...
