Yup. The map displayed trains moving around in areas where there were no trains. Who you gonna call?

I re-purpose machines sometimes and find the manual module handling very cumbersome. Remember: just because you may not use a feature / a method, doesn't mean everyone else follows you :-)

I've had a train at approximately 4800 chunks out. It was a large train, I was using RSO and let's just say there's a lot of oil out there. And ghost trains...but they don't seem to be there any more :-(

There's gonna be tractors? \o/

It's one thing to get a new customer from the Steam launch. But getting a professional lurker to comment publicly? Wow.

I used to ditch gun turrets ASAP, but now they get put down in pairs with lasers. They help provide extra damage with no power cost, act as a backup if the power does go out (which inevitably happens miles away, when it does) and running ammo isn't a big deal, as I always run supply trains anyway.

Congrats to the newly-formed families and to the success of the Steam launch. Three cheers, twice over!

We're gonna need a dedicated mine supply train. With ten wagons. I'll get crafting...

Landmines have an area of effect which damages walls (and you!). I put three (four?) express belts between the walls and the land mines. This helps stop the walls taking a hit from the mine explosion.

You'll be glad to hear this is currently being worked on. It'll be a great addition.

Can you change this one to make it sound like it's mngrif calling Malachite a pitiful excuse for an engineer? 'cause I wouldn't want to get in hot heavy water being the author of such slander.

When you place a lab and there are no other labs present, it pops up the research screen for you.

I would, but I practise defense-in-depth, and cannot reveal my defenses, for fear of giving the biters precious intel.

Congrats on the milestone! The FAQ seems well-thought out and the trains UI has clearly been made by people who love trains.

May I be the first to say, in this thread: CHOO CHOO!

The game isn't released yet because it's not ready. The graphics, the mechanics, the bugs. The end game. It's not finished yet. The trailers, the marketing materials, the price, the GUI, it's not ready. These things change when the game is released. I cannot fathom why people have such a hissy fit ...

The player can always choose not to by-pass the many strategies available that aren't turret creeping. No need to force them to take the challenging route.
