TYPO in a changelog line:
Fixed the freezes and wrong behaviour when manually crafting recipes with probabilities. (posting.php?t=9354)

Yeah

Just move it on the Y axis and alpha-alway in a couple of tiles.
Even 3x the rocket height could be well enough.

That would indeed be the simplest way of dealing with it.
I think that might even be the default way 2D games do it.

Does the burner keep the auto-inserted fuel in its slot?
I suspect it might immediately burn it for energy.

Interesting idea, I was sort of thinking the building could still be used even if the Stinger has taken over, just significantly slower.Eventually the building breaks down and the Stingers search for the next closest building to call home.
I also expected the building to work. Stingers didn't ...

If biters did things on their own, wouldn't they also explore -> create more and more world chunks?

On the other hand they wouldn't require "being pregenerated" in far chunks
if they could really spread and live on their own.

Perhaps they could build their hives on trees when no dry place is available.

Perhaps the building "taken over" will still works for the player for some time,
before they accidentally jam something inside (and cause an alert)

This suggestion seems to come suspicously handy related to https ...

There was a change in hadling the probability in 0.11.20 AFAIK.

regular tunnels "bend" the train underground at riddiculous angles and look fishy due to the 2D-ness of the engine.

Given that the camera is hovering above the ground,

I'm not sure if moving on the Y axis would do.

I now see it would have to be drawn "on the opposite side of the silo than player is" for a valid Z-coordinate efffect

Can't your OS do that?

On linux when I can move my mouse pointer from one screen onto another,
then it means that it's technically just one big screen.

It should be easy to get a window split across monitors to begin with.

With fullscreen, not sure. It might involve some hacking at allegro or ...

Didn't those recipe lines where the number wasn't satisfied from inventory but crafting..
.... use to be yellow or something.. precisely to alert you you might not have added that component?

you mean "add cable types" ? Not sure that's possible

what functionality do you seek?
many more options will be availabe with the 0.12 big logic update

An inventory item would work pretty well.
The wire it'll deploy will simply be set by it's mode,
allowing you to wire the same kind of wire at many places at once without any switching.

if someone wants to know where the cable came from,
perhaps that item could be "fueled" by an item "roll of ...

WHAT?? So I paid for freebies?

sounds nice, clean and simple

Will the new command line interface also give us the "--headless" option?


EDIT: Oh yes, the's the great logic update at the end of that 0.11 tunnel. Oh yes.

Have the "auto-save" become "auto-push", so all the clients still run on there own but one player pushes there game to all other clients. So this way everyone wins.
Also auto-save hapens in a reasonable time because it doesn't happen over the internet.
"auto-push" would therefore be the initial ...

Good point.
If I would be paying for a dedicated map storage/server, I would probably like
this particular computer to also help clients with "internet issues".
Or aid with network configuration in general, for that matter.
