For me, it's more interesting that way. You have to do some wiring, use filter inserters or something (and there are many ways to do it, and it's not hard), compared to just letting it run as every other machine.

It's interesting how much worse the roundabout is compared to a simple compact intersection. Despite that, I have seen in many threads players promoting roundabouts as the best and only way to do 4-way intersections. Is there some benefit of a roundabout (apart from being able to reverse) that is no...

Keep all storage chests in a square, and research as much bot speed as possible, is the only solution I found. Otherwise your bots will mess it up.

Also trees and rocks harvested by construction bots go to storage chests, not passive provider chests. So even without logistic bots they have their uses

Oil used to be a certain bottleneck for me at most part of the game, and with oil sites not really blueprintable, tedious to set up. I'm glad they increased the productivity and minimum output significantly.

Without any magical infinite ore patches, all research is limited by the ore on the map. Even "infinite" maps are capped at 2,000,000 x 2,000,000 by the game engine. You can calculate ore frequency and richness to find a maximum tech level. This somewhere in the low double digits for the ...

There is something wrong with the design of the system , we are aware of this, the mechanic of the heat transfer isn't clear, from a gameplay perspective it isn't working well However the actual implementation is working as intended, it was written to act as it is acting, and thus there is no bug. ...

That would be nice, saving some counting now and then.

The server mods would probably be fixed, but your PC would automatically download whatever mods the server uses. And the same with save games etc.

You can still use robots, but the maximum reliable heat pipe length is limited to 30 or so.

I had no idea you could do that. But how exactly do you add things to a blueprint?

As far a I understand OP he got LAN to work without an internet connection, but people connecting to him had to wait 5-10min for some timeout, which indeed sounds like a bug.

Big biters could always attack two tiles away.

I got the achivement only with about 8k solar panels (and coal/nuclear power running too meanwhile), though I have no idea why.

We need behemoth trains and behemoth tanks.

My nukes so far have killed all behemoth biters in its radius (though I have researched rocket damage up to ~4000 space science requirement). From what I read here, isn't that supposed to happen?

From my testing this problem is also present in 0.15.6. Heat seems to favour the direction in which you built the pipes.

Building the heat pipe about 60 tiles long from reactor to heat exchanger works, building the pipe the other way does not work.

Oh no It would fit perfectly in the awesome 0.15 gameplay!

It''s most useful when you drive around in a train yourself. Unless you have a heavy load in your train network, or very short routes, I shouldn't affect throughput very much.

It seems the logistic bots just get priority over construction bots most of the time. But the problem has an easy solution: Make the inserter providing the furnaces to the science production only operate if there are at least some amount (e.g. 10) of furnaces in the logistic system. That way there a...
