Great stuff on this thread. Rotary car dumper, indeed! Processing very long trains would be very cool as well.

... to the best solution being isolated networks. But that loses the flexibility when building new factory segments. For a while I was thinking of a bridge port to link Logistics networks together, favoring local supplies over remote ones. But as best as I can tell, nothing in Vanilla does something ...

... his supplies, hawk his wares, and rest his feet, but over the first few days of his visit, he noticed something strange. There was a simple wooden bridge built across the river so that villagers could cross it, and so they did, every day, in order to tend to their rye and barley fields on the other ...

... I want water walls to still be a legitimate strategy, but I think it would be more fun for it to be like a time bomb. This "corpse-landfill bridge" would be gradually build and the player would be able to see it coming. Ok, I'll agree that this might be more interesting to play with ...

... before you get robots to handle that. Also if you are on an "island" without natives then the natives can get to you with the same land bridge that you used to get there, generally. You can make walkable 1 tile gaps (for player) which the natives can't skip. But that's (1) new behaviour ...

Allow me to interject and perhaps build a bridge between the two ideologies here. As a grown man who is pragmatic, reasonable, and generally logical in my approach to things, I realize that it really does not matter in the least what my character ...

... curved rail line that goes under a large lake would be pretty cool, (if not horribly expensive)! Honestly, I can see why elevated trains and train bridges are not in the game: 1) The first would add little to game play for a massive amount of work. 2) Bridges aren't needed because you can already ...

That ridiculous train ramp mod (Renai Transportation, which also has other novelties like power pole ziplines and throwing inserters) could be re-skinned as potentially the best tunnel or bridge mod so far.

But it could be much better than what we have. Edit: the link and image isn't quite the algorithm I was thinking about while writing ...

... twice and slide to a stop... maybe a bit of damage. Biters evolution.... to having a flight ability? Or have the AI have then learn to do an ant-bridge to get over short spans of water. I know I'm suggesting more than the title shows, but just a couple of thoughts.

The use case of accumulators (in my head at least) is to bridge the power production of solar panels through the night. Therefore, adding them to the daytime production doesn't provide me with any useful information ...
