Will you preserve all these internal mechanics you are removing in the base code for modders to use? E.g. the pickaxe slot and pickaxes in general and mining efficiency? Those are core part of Bob's and Angel's mods.

As the FFF states
[W]e completely removed mining tools from the game ...

No wonder, scenes heavy on smoke or trees can tank FPS, especially in 4K. Maybe we should do something about that...
FUCK YES MR. OBVIOUS YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THAT!!!
We have been screaming at you for the last two years to do ...

There is a very easy solution: Make special Loading and Unloading structures specifically for train wagons (like in Real Life) that can only use Belt Loader/Unloader to get stuff in or out of wagons and disable the ability of inserters to pull things directly out of wagons.

Done!


Yeah, but ...

>blueprintable cargo trains

are you trying to make the belts obsolete?

I am surprised Xterminator or Nilaus haven't made a comment yet. I would have expected them to squeal from joy and go all dreamy with this update.

Pictures in your OP got corrupted when the server transferred to the newer Forum OS.

Also. How is this system going to react to someone making a super long pipe across the map from an oil field and putting ten pumps at intervals into the pipeline? Would the entry into and exit out of a pump count as a junction?

So as long as you don’t do crazy stuff like making pipe grids and keep ...

Can someone please adopt Supportive Weapons, please?

So? Can we know when can we generally expect 0.17? Still in September? October? November? Just asking.

Personally, although I agree with removing Uranium from the starting area, I disagree with removing oil.
However, this is looking at it from the point of view of my mod, looking at it from the point of view of vanilla, it does make sense to remove oil from the starting area, to give you an ...

I think that should be an option to exclude oil from the starting area
Two (off by default!) options to include oil and uranium in the starting areas would be nice indeed !

Seconding this, as I'd like to have oil close to my starting water but don't care about U as much!
Thirding this. It ...

I was there for the Monday afternoon LAN party two weeks ago. I talked to people there and they all had one big issue with research - specifically, the Endgame. From new players to ...

Indeed. May your air-conditioning fail.

I have over 1500 hours in the game. I still love Vanilla gameplay. But after so many games...the tediousness of re-clicking the research tab is starting to get annoying. Please. Add the Research Queue as an option in the game options.

If you add that the Biter Creep under the buildings grows to cover everything around a Biter settlement..on high biter maps you will have basically recreated the Zerg Swarm from Starcraft.

Everything covered by CREEP!!!

The library closes at 22:00, so it will have to end then

I am not sure how long we will stay there

Thanks!
