I dislike the idea of the game leading me down the "garden path" then force me to scrap a whole section and rebuild it in a different way. If I imagine being a new player and facing the oil refinery with a single input and output I would probably build a straight pipe on both sides and al...

My primary concern is that the devs appear to be dumbing down the game to appeal to the lowest common denominator, instead of creating a more intelligent solution (better tutorials, UI hints, etc). Why change basic oil processing? Why not instead add 3 new specific oil processing recipes that produ...

I would love to at least see an ingame tutorial before any major changes are made. I'm not opposed to any other changes but the lack of a tutorial considering signaling and other topics have one does strike me as odd.

Out of curiosity, is there currently a tutorial in game that covers oil refining?

Yellow belts jumped up to 30 items / s in my friend and mine's playthrough of Bob's / Angel's all of the sudden.

So my friend and I are playing Bob's / Angel's, last experimental version and yellow belts are somehow at 30 i/s now.

But generally you do need the secondary ore. Especially the iron/copper combination will use most if not all the copper right from the start. Could you update those numbers including the secondary ore (maybe in parens) please. And hey, nothing wrong with sorting being worse if you don't need the se...

Hi,

I just downloaded all Bob's mods and FNUI, but I noticed while setting up the new game that each mod has a bunch of settings associated with it as well and I'm not sure which of them I should turn on. Is there a recommended starter configuration or an overview somewhere?

So I'm getting to the point of getting Laser turrets, and I'm not sure what the ideal turret defense looks like; Gun turrets? Laser Turrets? Flamethrower Turrets? An even mix?

I think flying biters might be interesting, would have to have defenses inside your base / anti-aircraft turrets and would circumvent your defenses a bit. I'm currently playing on a map where my base is on a peninsula in a small sea, and all across the water there's hordes of biters and bases that j...

Everything Everything tests just that - every signal it's getting. The condition will be true only if it was true for every one of those signals. For example, a decider with "everything > 10" with it's input connected to a constant combinator outputting only "iron plates = 11" w...

So I decided to take out my new tank for a spin against a small camp. Sadly, a cannon shot seems to only be worth one, and not more like other types of ammo so I ran out almost immediately and decided to run over everything. I'm not sure though if that would still give me alien artifacts from destro...

What's the priority on your factory using different power sources?

Right now I have solar panels, steam engines and acumulators, but the factory doesn't seem to drain the acumulators at night as I expected would happen.
