Trains under a wall?
The Wall Gate can be placed across tracks and will automatically open and close to let trains through so you wont have to have a hole in your wall for a track to enter.

Re: The purpose of faster transport belts
If you simply desire things to get from point A to point B at a faster rate, then a faster belt is an solution. -like if you build a new storage area for something and want to empty the old one to demolish it If you are trying to pull more stuff off a belt then it can supply, then a faster belt is a...

Re: SOLAR or STEAM [poll]
I dislike solar. Maybe because the game is full of -meaningful- choices were all the options have their merits and flaws (lasers or gun turrets, coal or electric smelting, belts or bots). But when I look at energy, solar just looks superior in every way. I believe this is why I always find myself l...

Re: Trains: help with 1 lane to 2 lanes (not single rails)
Unless one of those mods adds something to specify that certain trains will go to certain rails, the only way (as far as I know) is to just use a lot of switches.

Re: Damn it my sleep schedule will never survive this
Hopefully you don't have a job or school.

Re: Teleporting (Ringworld-Teleporters)
What if teleports just having a settable name like train stations and accessing a teleport gives you a listing of all the teleports in range that you can go to? That way they wont have to be 'linked' in any way. Having them omnidirectional would be far more flexible and useful then making them only ...

Re: So what's after the campaign?
I never did the campaign, never even attempted it or the tutorials. Did some reading on the wiki when I couldn't figure something out on my own based on in-game info. Got the game and just jumped into a free play factory, and still working on the same factory some 400 hours later. You could try to m...

Re: Containerization
I like the idea. However, a minor problem that I notice. 1. The train would arrive, have the containers removed, and depart faster. Then it would pick up the next load and return again. But, how would the train get empty containers back on it to take back to be loaded up again? Either need the gantr...

I think that's more of a windows thing then a game thing. Alt+Tab is a windows hotkey for switching to the next open program, it isn't something coded into programs. Have you tried running the game in a window instead of full screen? I play the game in windowed mode and it works perfectly, I can eas...

Re: remove items when blueprint on hand
Maybe he means to have them vanish immediately upon placing a blueprint (like when crafting QTYs by hand). But then, what would happen if you didn't have enough items on you to complete the blue print? Limiting blueprint placing by what you have on hand would suck. As it is now, you can run and get ...

Re: Cosmetics, Designs, Decorations - How to make a mod?
Stone floors are already available (and concrete)
After making stone bricks or concrete, select the item and click the ground
We can make wood from raw wood, it would be nice if it could be placed on the ground.

Re: Electric and Steam Train
I would love electric trains. Preferably with a simple 3rd rail design. Overhead wires or needing to have all track in in the range of a power pole could be a messy nightmare. Add in 'Electrified Track' that need to be placed for electric trains to run on. Logically, diesel and steam engines could a...

ehh, forget the individual pieces that snap together.

Then could have turns of any radius.

Why isn't coal needed to make steel?
I've always wondered why steel didn't need coal. We have coal, it's one of the first things mined and used, but the need for coal drastically declines once we start using electric equipment and get into refining to make solid fuel. After this, the only use for coal is Plastics. We also start needing...
