Oh I'm sorry. Turns out I missunderstood what you wanted.

No, I don't think there is a way to detect how many roboports there are. Why is the ratio of bot / port important to you?

There sure is. Hook a roboport up with a wire and then read it's info card. The tooltips explain everything from there.

I think I am morally required to update that....

Omg yes that's it! Somebody ought to make this happen. It's just too awesome to pass on.

The author had a demo video in his thread but damn , I just can't find it anywhere. Perhaps it was removed when they restructured the mod section or the author deleted his thread

I remember a mod from over a year ago. It added a rocket battery structure which can be loaded from chests. It would then load the individual rocket's payloads with requested items and launch them in an high arc across the map towards your target location. Essentially, emergency supply drop pods. T...

Call me old-fashioned but my continued survival, infestion free real-estates and millions of raw resources are kinda enough of a "reward" for me.

I disagree. I never stayed with gun turrets before 0.14 because spitters would usually break through them. The only cure: roboports - but those are behind laser turrets in tech level so guess what. Now, in 0.15 I just stick with gun turrets until way into late game when I build my chinese wall. And ...

Seems like there are a lot of misconecptions around here. "Storing items costs a lot of energy" -The early game version of my 100k storage consumes 40kw to 400kw. That's a couple of assemblers. Come on... "Stored items disguise demand" -Oh really? That's the point! I don't want t...

So you rather have piles of trains "everywhere"? They require much more resources and space/storage.

lategame, a single tile of ressource can be over 100K while a single chest can only store up to around 2.5K raw ressource. it make the inability to properly store the ressource lategame due to a lack of space. So yea chest fail to accomplish their mission. What a weird thing to say right after a po...

The Japanese killed the idea of large scale storage with Just In Time logistics. As pieppiep said, if you really need the storage for raw materials, something has probably gone wrong. I don't agree. If you need that big chests for buffers you're doing something wrong imho. Nothing could be further ...

Thanks for the bug fixes and optimization. Geniuenly appreciated!

However, I cannot help but wonder what happened to "we're going to release more hd textures during the beta as they ready up" (paraphrasing)? Did I missunderstand that part?

Changes

• Most of the gui elements now work only with left mouse button, so other buttons might be used without intefering with gui.

Means I can no longer abort 5 items in my handcrafting queue at a time with right click.

I'm also curious what you guys think about bout our UI/UX and general game interaction. I'm not sure whether this is the right time to bring this up but there is one MAJOR flaw with what I would call the general game interaction. Placing belts (the thing you do 70% of your time) is actually incredi...

1) It's incredible hard / annoying to pick a specific amount of items. 2) I'll severely miss those 20 extra inventory slots. Omg I won't even be able to fit my ammo into my inventory late game... 3) All in-game windows look like crap, if you must know. Not that I care. I just want them to work but t...

A problem with mines I see is that the first biters to reach them not only trigger a detonation but they also trigger your roboports. Now, all of a sudden your construction bots swarm out trying to replace and repair mines. All the while they're getting spit at from spitters who conveniently found s...

What kind of monster lurks behind your stations that they require you to (un)load 8 trains at once?

Do you mean "verify user idenity"? Because that's what I already mentioned in my OP.

I think this is for players not sharing their copy of the game to play LAN. Each one should have his game ... Internet connection for LAN gaming is not a big issue, when you have LAN 99% of the time you have internet. Internet connection for solo is annoying. This game is supposed to be DRM free. T...
