Our opinions are not mutually exclusive. I think they are. If they released before it was ready and didn't tell us, it wouldn't be very transparent would it? I thought Kovarex was pretty clear when he said things to the effect of 'well we [Wube] like it at least' and 'a studio very rarely if ever p...

You have got to be kidding. They've run the most transparent and competent development process I've ever seen.

This would be so easily fixed by having the rocket silo accept any payload greater than 900kg for automatic launch, and it would just launch the first available 'mixed bag' of requested items that fulfills that requirement. I think they just didn't finish Space Age and must have released it early fo...

Better idea: remove space drag.

The one part that is exceedingly annoying, and maybe not that well thought through IMO, is that reseeding the farming cranes is an absolute pain without requester chests. Maybe it would have been fine if the cranes themselves could post a logistic request for seeds, but even then you need to have a...

I seem to remember that there was an FFF where a dev said they were too lazy to add more than one wirelessly transmitted circuit signal per surface. You make a good point that the existence of logistic groups probably lays the foundation for them to easily add a more powerful wireless circuit network.

I consider this a bug.

Your suggestion is clearly the correct way to do this. It's not a wait condition if it's just ignored anyway.

I've encountered similar problem when I've tried playing with quality ingredients before leaving the Nauvis. I was hoping to make an intelligent smelting array to balance quality outputs of a factory. I do however agree with the opinion that bots are OP, so I'd like to suggest adding a switch to in...

I like it.

Have a 1x6 'portable lightning rod' that acts like a regular lightning rod, just centred on the player and it charges the suit battery.

At present, you kinda have to get a portable fission reactor before going to Fulgora and I see no good reason for that.

Probably just bad luck. Each fully-grown plant gives you 50 fruit, and each fruit has a (base) 2% chance to produce a seed. On average, each fruit gives exactly one seed. From a fully-grown plant, you have: roughly a 1/3 chance of getting 0 seeds, roughly 1/3 chance of getting 1 seed, and roughly 1/...

No, it is not possible.

You make a good point about collecting small requests.

Welp, I had a big worm spawn and take down a wall when I was on another planet. Some time later, biters had set up all their old bases within large walled-off portion of the map. This really ought to be fixed/rebalanced. You can remote drive a tank (and you can equip it with a roboport), so you sho...

You're doing it wrong :) The devs only want you to use logistic bots to do everything with the silo. I know the circuit options are present but they're essentially non-functional as you've noticed. There are other things that you can't do, like load processing units, rocket fuel or low-density stru...

This is a setup that naively switches to the oil with the most quantity. It does flushing previous fluids back into their tanks. - the selector combinator determines the oil with the most quantity - the pumps facing right activate dependent on selected oil - the flushing pumps have a filter for the...

Should also allow inserters to insert items into the cargo bays. I don't know about that...it seems like it's half as exploitable as just allowing full inserter access. Free item teleportation to a single location. I would definitely have a column of cargo bays running up and down every ship for ex...

Uhh... am I missing something? You can already store energy in the form of steam, in liquid tanks. In fact I thought that was the canonical way to store the massive power outptut from fission reactors, so you don't waste nuclear rods. There are no current ways to generate steam without consuming so...

The best solution might be to mass-produce legendary wooden electric poles

What about collecting energy from solar corona discharges?
