But I'm not sure how much ore patch vatiation will matter. You just slap miners on everything inside your perimiter regardless, because ores are too close together for mining outposts even on the lowest frequency settings. And building anything on ore patches that isn't mines is blasphamy.


I ...

TL;DR
Alter ore generation to allow for patches that are large but not dense, as well as small, dense patches, then align with terrain types to encourage player exploration and resource transport.

What ?
Add additional sliders to map generation: resource variation and resource alignment. Ore ...

Got stuck when ghost pipes finished building.

As pictured below, I cannot move from where I am in any direction.
Removing the left underground pipe releases me.
I can move straight left, then straight right until I get stopped and then lay the underground pipe and am stuck again.

2. uncheck 'personal logistics and auto-trash' checkbox
3. add items to trash slot
Result:
Items get retrieved by bots from trash and taken to logistic network as normal.

Also reproduces if you stand ...

I'm able to download the updates, so it doesn't appear related to the Mac issue which says bad username/password.

I get the following:
Error when opening

I'd like to see the ability to build an item and have the necessary/missing items pulled from the logistics network. Perfect example: gears. Lots of things require gears, but I don't always have enough on me. I might not even have the material to build the gears, but I know that the gears are in my ...
