Re: Friday Facts #238 - The GUI update (Part II)

Where are the green blocks? =( April 20th and 21th. Pretty easy to spot for the people with mainstream color vision. That said: The overall color theme of that GUI ist one of the most ugliest beasts i've ever seen (including game GUIs - and i did use a C64 for gaming back then). It's a skin. The us...

Re: Hovering over product icon gives wrong description

When you hover over an icon, it should say what the icon means. That is the standard in every software application and game I know. It makes no sense that hovering over something giving you a tooltip that doesn't help you understand what it is. This is precisely why tooltips were invented in the fir...

Hovering over product icon gives wrong description

1. Take any machine (e.g., assembling machine, electrolyser, chemical plant, etc.) 2. Set a recipe 3. Hover over the products (what it produces) The popup window doesn't show the correct information about what the product the machine is producing, but what the recipe is. This is not only very confus...

Re: How do you make mud?

This took me 2 hours of trying out with a friend I'm playing with. We were totally stumped by this problem.
Thanks for telling us about the seafloor pump. I would never have figured this out.

Re: [0.14] What is it used for?

I have a new question / bug: I have Bob's mods and Angel's mods installed, but now I can see recipes that cannot be made. For instance, there are 2 types of carbon recipes but only one of them works. The Bob's mods way of making carbon is in red. Could you please remove (hide) the non-working recipe...

Re: Bob's "Carbon" not quite removed?

Aha! So I'm not the only one. I too just started playing with Angel's mods, and am mightily confused that there are now multiple ways to make things. I use the 'What is it really used for' mod too and I built things that were dead-ends because recipes were gone. I'll check the 'What's it really used...

[Solved] Bob's gas venting pump gone after installing Angel's mods

I played with Bob's mods, and now I also decided to add Angel's mods.

Unfortunately, I can't find the gas venting pump anymore. Is it a bug?

Also, is there some sort of wiki? I'm completely lost with the dozens of new machines and items to make.

Re: Friday Facts #238 - The GUI update (Part II)

I'm a software engineer myself, and to be honest, I've never put support in my applications for it. I'm sure to give this a good consideration for my next project though.

Oooooooh! That's an interesting idea!

Something like a helicopter with a container? Just like trains they could serve as (very) long distance transport.

Re: [0.14] What is it used for?

Thanks for the info guys (or gals).

It's a major bummer it doesn't work. I really hope one of the devs sees this post and fixes this. As it stands now it's a huge problem.

Do you know what the internal name is? When go there indirectly through a component of electronic logic boards I DO see the boards. But, searching for electronic, or logic, or board doesn't work. Try "processing circuit" (that's the vanilla one it replaces.) Ok, I would not have guessed t...

Re: Friday Facts #238 - The GUI update (Part II)

As you can see, it's almost impossible to figure out what is needed without being aided by a tree that displays the steps. And, no, alt-tabbing out of the game to go to the wiki is NOT fun. Is it the dev team's job to "fix" incredibly convoluted mods that have poor documentation? Personal...

Could you please add the electronic logic board from Bob's mods to your mod? It's really annoying I can't search for it.
I think there are a couple of other things that also don't work.
