Weapons, especially the Artillery has pinpoint accuracy. I was wondering if there is any way to inject dispersion into projectile weapons? Yeah, there are direction_deviation and range_deviation properties, they are used for vanilla shotgun and tank shells. Should work for artillery too, vanilla ar...

AFAIK, flip is mostly waiting for monitor VSync. You can turn off VSync and get a little more FPS, but with screen tearing. --- edit --- I.e. if your frame time is 15ms, flip will wait for VSync about 1ms and everything is fine. But if your frame time is 17ms, you will miss nearest VSync and flip wi...

This is not ideal, and can be annoying when adjusting belt placement.

How? Those entities are just marked to deconstruction, you can't place belts there yet.

Ghost belts work, though. Try to press hold shift while routing the belt through the area marked for deconstruction.

Do you have another station with the same name? Looks like they see that station and want to go there, but there are no path.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open tips and tricks window
2) Select "construction robots"

Expected result: construction bots build something
Actual result: nothing happens

--- edit ---

Storage chest tutorial doesn't work too.

Angel's mods have replaceable filters and electrodes, for example.

where is the pre-order button?

Honestly, let them work at comfortable speed, without pressure from that pre-orders.

+1 Just current/limit should be fine, imho. Original capacity is not very interesting for a limited chest and would just clutter interface. Examples: 10/20 - you have 10 stacks and container is limited to 20 21/20 - you have 21 stack and container is limited to 20 (one stack was added manually or ju...

As you can have multiple electrical grids, how would you determine which one you wanted the stats for? With a selector like in logistics window? It shows nearest network by default, but you can choose another. And current method with clicking on the pole should work too. -- edit -- I like the idea ...

Filter the "trains" tab by dump station name, probably?

-- Edit --

what if instead of mod i edit game file for private use only? could that work Well, yeah, if you have some experience with debugging and disassembling it would work... But in that case you wouldn't ask, probably. And, please, turn off crash log uploading if you go that way. Don't spam devs with cra...

Did you set the connection points before trying it?

Connection points are hardcoded to "copper", "red" and "green". So, wire item names are hardcoded too, I think. All their properties are similar, they differ mostly in name.

instead of expecting every mod-author do it properly, replace planner sounds like a more elegant solution

I dunno, most mods already do it properly. It's a very important property, manual fast-replace doesn't work without it too and upgrading to next tier becomes a hell.

useful in other mods, especially creative mod. eg: void requester chest <-> normal requester chest

Well, they already in the same fast-replace group, just hidden. Check "unhide items" in the creative mod settings and you will be able to use them in upgrade planner.

Why? I can't think about any situation where it would be useful to replace entity to a totally unrelated entity.... Upgrade planner already allows to replace anything belonging to the same fast-replace group. If the mod doesn't set proper group for a void requester chest, it's a problem on the mod s...

You can detect it in-game in vanilla, just measure interval between swings of the input inserter on one of the labs.

PFR is not overpoered, it is ridiculously underpowered for endgame purposes, especially with marathon.

It's intentionally underpowered, I think. Otherwise power armor will overshadow everything else.

Nuclear fuel would be closer to a half an hour, which is a significant inventory commitment and/or endurance limit, but it's pure busy-work, it doesn't add any interesting complexity to the game systems. It can be fun if generator is significantly more powerful than PFR, so you can trade some inven...

I heavily disliked the "have to wait until the sun comes up to recharge my batteries before I assault that next nest" portion of the game.

Use weapons, Luke. Personal defence called "defence" for a reason.
