I think you're overthinking it. Each station would get a new field #maxNumberOfTrains and #TrainsCurrentlyIncoming The player sets maxNumberOfTrains it to some amount. Say 1. TrainsCurrentlyIncoming is a hidden field used by the game to track how many trains are incoming to this station. If there ar...

Are you sure the mod is in the process of being updated? I think Angel is now living the fatherly life of lack-of-sleep and lack-of-time, and I'm really not sure who is now in charge. There's mentions here and there of people having access to the mod, but I've yet to see any changes or improvements ...

+1 for adding a "max trains at this station: X" field. Would make life so much easier.

I'm really bummed out to see the campaign cancelled. While freeplay may always be the main mode, campaign promises to be a new experience. In particular for veterans with thousands of hours, a fresh new mode seems like a great change of pace to the well known, long mastered freeplay mode. I was REAL...

Minor point: I'd deem map editor one of the least used aspects. I'd certainly put it below mods. Though it really doesn't matter much. Sensible changes overall. The current menu is quite unwieldy.

Kingarthur any chance you can make angel compatible with the new uranium-like ore Bob introduced? I.e. preventing it from spawning, allowing it to be refined in some way from the basic saphirite/rubyte/etc... ores? It sticks out like a sore thumb sadly.

Yes I don't like the artifact drops, an d plasma turrets didn't exist when I played it! Though imo the important part is turning RSO bitter generation OFF (so it uses default gen) and go with high density as in deathworld. It makes you very space constrained which, at least in my case, severely limi...

Are there any news on the future of the mod? Is someone else picking up the torch? Is angel still working on it (bio in particular)?

I did an AB deathworld with RSO, with 4x science cost and rampant (biters don6take the same path but find weaknesses, so you need full perimeterdefenses). This had me on the edge even after unlocking laser turrets, as energy kept being tight for about 30 hours. Expansion was extremely difficult, and...

I use slow inserters for slow things, and generally only upgrade belts as needed. My friend prefers using fast inserters and faster belts everywhere when possible. Since the assembler ingredient limit removal I also use Assembly Machine 1 in some places where it's fast enough. That's the case quite...

Sorry I haven't read everything, just the last 3 pages. My question is, is the mod currently in working, fairly balanced state? Or did thing happen between .16 and now that make it unworkable? Looking to start up a new game. Cheers

And I missed your reply! But starting a new campaign now, so time to use this mod

Cheers

What I really want to discuss is that using one iron to make one saw to cut down one tree is just unrealistic. A saw is usually more durable than that and worst case you have to sharpen it. Why not make the tree cutting recipe return a saw with 80% probability? So every 5 trees you need a new saw o...

I hope biter breeding eventually reaches a point where you can actually hatch friendly biters and have them go out in packs to fight biters. A substitute for artillery so to say! Really looking forward to trying bio processing and it's changes however! Always lived the puffers. Love all systems with...

I'll try turning off the collision detection for now and see how that goes. I appreciate there may be lots of work involved with such a feature, so no worries if you don't feel like spending the effort for a low-request feature.

Thanks either way!

Sounds good and following the vanilla balance. Thanks for the update!

Has the mod been updated for the 0.17.12 pollution changes?

How does it integrate with mods that add researches, angel bobs in particular? Will the increased amount of researches affect the mod balance? Or are those researches not handled by the mod? I really do like the idea because I like 10x science cost multiplier, but I'm unsure about the specifics. Wil...

Will the biomes get vadtly different absorbtion values (i.e. gameplay impact, more immersive) or be standardized (aesthetic only, balance over immersion)? I'd lean towards immersive, though wouldn't mind either way. If you're feeling ambitious perhaps a mod setting to toggle between the two settings...

So I might be an outlier, but I enjoy the messiness of mixed patches, like iron and copper melding together and having to sort that out. Given how you use scripting for ore generation, is there a possibility that rso would allow for a percent setting of mixed patches? I wouldn't mind even it meant t...
