I updated to 0.17 and did not play a second yet. But i had to give feedback on the ui i seen in the menue:

All hover graphics look like Photoshop Default Layer Glow Effect (cheap)
UI Elements look like they are made for touch devices (big, bulky buttons)
Mod Manager download bar is not very ...

I did not play 0.17 yet. But what about the easy way - killing all biters in pollution range. For me this was the easiest way to come by with the biters in 0.16. Indeed it is boring as hell and i think the devs should adress this.

I would recommend using chain signals and adding the signals that are red. IMHO it's easier to maintain and you have finer control over the selected value

- No rail tunnels (I hope they have this for 0.17 and surprise us with it)

Actually I would love rail bridges. I remember the good old times when I dumped a 2 or 3 digit amount of hours
into OpenTTD, building rail networks. Building the junctions were the most fun part. Bridges would allow for ...

I played with approaches 1 and 2. I loved 1 for the smart smelter setup i mainly used (Smelting from train to the same train (Copper, Iron, Steel, Stone). it worked crazy well. Ore stations activate only if they have enough in their buffer to fill a train. My main problem with this was, that the ...

Maybe this should be a core game mechanic but it would be okay as a mod.

Option a)

Combinator that delays a signal for n ticks: Just stomping a chain of 2-3 arithmetic combinators which multiply each by 1 and output each just for synchronizing pulses that go through different length of pipelines ...

It's all fine. But one thing i would like to mention:

The glow around buttons just looks like the default Photoshop glow without any modification. Looks a bit lazy with that knowledge in the background.

One big improvement for me (and maybe others) would be:
Add a Constant Combinator to trains so that the Unique Train ID could be set by the player and it could include multiple signals.
Would be a great improvement on stations with multiple trains wit different content

Minor features

• Train stop names are rendered at 45 degrees to better show names.

Please make this an option. If there are many stations vertically aligned( ~6 tiles from each other) it is hard to guess which one is which.

My fault...

i just removed the consumer on one network and the percentual saturation of the other networks consumer did not change. So i assumed, that the power is doubled (because removing one did not change the result). I did not check absolute power values...

So i checked this myself. The simple answer is (0.15.27):

The energy output of the solar panels is doubled if 2 networks are connected!

Maybe someone can enlighten me.
If i have a solar panel and this solar panel is covered by 2 poles that are in seperate networks. How does the solar panel distribute the energy to the networks? 50:50? What if one network is saturated and the other not - does the raqtio change?
More advanced question ...

I get why this was changed but Reactor plant broken

EDIT: Ok, just another Combinator that keeps the inserters active until the inserters have dropped their cargo.

I get your problem with Path Signals in OTTD, but the pathfinding in OTTD is over the top compared to factorio.
In factorio it is common that trains stay at signals because they have reserved a track quite some time in the past.
The train does not notice that there are 3 parallel tracks that it ...

Simple Suggestion:
Please let the pump disconnect from a tank waggon on rail if the pump is disabled by circuit condition.
This way it will be possible to use 3 pumps on both sides and alternating connection

Currently if we build something near a train station the waggon position indicators (White rectangles on the rails) will show up. Please make the count of these indicators configurable (1-20 maybe) because the fixed count of 5 indicators is okay but not sufficient if extra long trains are used. Same ...

My impression is totally different to other experiences:

Rail World + Maximum richeness on all resources

I had 7 Oil wells in my starting area. That lastet until i started blue circuits.
I have explored some area and the only 2 additional oil spots i have found consisted of 2 and 3 wells (might be ...

Both 0.15 Versions (high res or low res does not matter) look like 16 bit rendered and dithered to simulate a higher bit depth.

or more examples on the german version:

I think that this might be intended but for me it is a bug and looks horrible:

Ore graphics look like a broken 16 bit dithering.

I am sorry to say that, but the best approach to all of these Problems would be:

Get Rid od red/green wire, it's just annoying to put introduce no-op combinators just for separating networks
Use one circiut wire and introduce channels on that wire...
The only handicap could be performance if this ...
