Re: Splitters - only connected exits receive goods

Well, as I see it you are proposing to "waste" an additional transport belt (if I want an inserter after the splitter) instead of "wasting" two items. I must say I don't see why this would be better. I really don't mind the extra 2 items hanging there, but I sometimes to apprecia...

Re: Research progress visualization

I don't really mind if it would be textual, I just thought a graphical representation might be quicker to see at a glance. I'll try to show some examples of what I mean, with a text-based representation of the current research bar. Legend: = : unit already researched - : unit being researched by a l...

Re: [0.10.0] Map generation in godmode

I remember it happening in 0.9.8 as well. Can't say about prior versions.
I don't really mind either way. Maybe just slightly inclined towards the current way, but I may be alone in this :)

Re: [0.10.0] Map generation in godmode

Erm.. so?
Would you like the movement speed to be hindered to match the generation speed?
I don't think there is anything that could be done, or anything that needs to be done, for that matter.
But maybe I don't understand the situation correctly...

Re: Challenge or not. You decide.

Ah, now I understand - it is a custom scenario, not a saved game. For that reason there is also no exchange string. Is there a specific reason for doing this rather than a freeplay map? Also - if you start without the default 8 iron 1 burner miner and 1 stone furnace you're going to have a very long...

Re: Challenge or not. You decide.

Looks interesting. On a side note - with map exchange strings introduced in 0.10 you could just paste it - would be much smaller than the saved game, and allow for the exact same map, seeing as you want to share the starting conditions and not an already started factory...

Re: Research progress visualization

No, I mean show only what the labs are currently actually doing. If for _any_ reason a lab is not currently performing research - it is not counted for this. So the new part (whatever color it may be) only counts the number of labs actually researching at the moment (having all required Science pack...

Research progress visualization ☸

Just a quick UI/Visual idea - have the research bar have another color (lighter shade of green?) to show the amount of research currently done by labs. That is - if you research a technology with 20 steps, you currently done 6 units, and you have 3 labs currently working on it, the bar would be 6/20...

Re: 2^x vs y*10^x

Powers of two is just more sensible. How so? I think ten-based makes more sense - all modern humans are used to it already, and it technically makes no difference, really. I'd love to see some hard technical reasoning why one is better than the other (Not emotional or "I'm used to that" r...

[0.10.0] Cargo wagon Alt display buggy

Adding filters to cargo slots seems to have broken the display of the contents (in Alt mode). The wagon shows things that have been in it but are no longer there, sometimes doesn't show things that are, and all in all - behaves strangely. This seems to be related to how the items got inside the wago...

Re: Construction robots should not...

I agree.
Just like they don't fly around uselessly when the item to construct is not available. The current state only makes the bots crash after waiting for the player to construct a storage chest.

Re: Allow circuit network conditions from 0 up

My big gripe about was that they did not include the number 6144 in the slider. This number tells you when a chest is FULL, and could be used to create giant, super efficient storage depots. Presumably you would need different numbers according to the different stack sizes of objects (Barrels stack...

Re: Allow circuit network conditions from 0 up

Yes, exactly.

As I said - it is not a big deal, but it would be nice to have, and I would assume it would be very easy to implement.
