I had a similar issue 10 years ago while developing in delphi - the network library was compiled into the executable. One widely known av scanner found a virus in it. I sent the executable to the developers of tje av and they approved that it does not contain any virus and a updated their av ...

The best would be to reduce wires to one and add channels - so it would be possible to send multiple valus of the same signal

That adds complexity in configuration to all circuit-enabled entities and you will lose the ability to see how things are connected by hovering the mouse over an entity ...

One Entity as a "Combinator Board" (size 2x2 maybe) that could be stacked with components. The most work would be to implement the ui for the combinator board - but i think it would be worth it - combinators are generally choppy to use currently (I know the devs are aware of that).

Ill call this ...

I know the devs are in the works for optimizing combinators but i don't know if they are considering this - maybe this was suggested before - but i did not find anything in the "frequently suggested" section:

If you have a bunch of assemblers or furnaces and want to use combinators you have to make ...

What about programmable assemblers - will they be included in 0.15? That would be some extreme fun with combinators - just imagine building a rocket just by one assembler (other assembling machines excepted of cause).
Check out Crafting Combinator . Does pretty much what you said ;)

Thanks, i ...

What about programmable assemblers - will they be included in 0.15? That would be some extreme fun with combinators - just imagine building a rocket just by one assembler (other assembling machines excepted of cause).

I remember a screenshot from the devs of the internal ticket system - so my question is:

programmable assemblers: Included in 0.15? Or do we have to wait for 0.16? :) i know there are some edge cases to consider but that would be some nice mechanic to open up an extremly diferent playstyle.
Would ...

I am okay with the automation argument. I think it is okay to make a decision: automate it or wait for it to complete by hand. But the "complete by hand" feels a little bit choppy if at first all sub-components of all end-products are made and then all end products. Maybe make it a option to change ...

Simple Suggestion: In the early game it is often necessary to craft multiple items of the same type by hand (Sometimes this happens in the mid game too). Some items need items that are them self crafted:
- Belt
- Burner Mining Drill
- Burner Inserter
- Steam Engine

Simple Example:
I have 300 iron ...

Determinism does not prevent multithreading - i know it is pain in the ass to do it right and synchornization issues might eat up all the performance gain but

Robots that are:
non power-loosing
not in range of biters
not in range of drop off or pick up situations

Attached a game with some bases connected to each other by train. Most bases are unloaded/loaded by Robots - 0.14.20.

my Spec:

i7-920
GTX 970 (4GB)
24 GB RAM.

FPS/UPS mostly linked to each other at 25-30 FPS/UPS. It does not matter if i am near a base with many robots or not - performance stays ...

I am all for combinators needed for maximum efficiency.

easy to learn (no combinators) --> 40% efficiency
hard to master (combinators) --> 90-100% efficiency

Hi,

in immense logistic robot networks in small areas it is hard to see ground entities and interact with them (robots everywhere). I would like to see a toggle key that toggles the visibility of logistic robots. i would dislike a modifier in the options window because it should be easy to toggle ...

Hi!

I have a big problem with my smart smelter for iron plates, copper plates and steel. As usual: It is the counting for iron plates that are inserted for steel production that does not work properly. I don't find the bug...

See Screenshot for one smelting block(top) + example of counter for ...

I like the idea. Especially for solar power it's a nice idea that i have to adopt to different situation (it should be configurable at gamestart). Imho it should not only be the length of the cycle but the ratio too

It would be cool if there would be an indicator that shows if all items of a blueprint currently picked up are available and the blueprint could be build completly. Implementation would be simple (compare inventory with blueprint entities or compare logistic network content with blueprint entities ...

I think it should stay as it is. i know there are situations where it is annoying but sometimes the game is kind of a puzzle...
My solution for many problems that evolve from input-output order of fluids attached. Chemical Plants can be handled in that way too...
Maybe the module beacons are not as ...

I think most players are annoyed by the fact that solar power just needs so much room.
Additionally build blueprint after blueprint of solar plants is boring - even deciding if you build solar plants on top of ores is a no-brainer.
Another point is, that there is no technology where i have to ...

I would like to give some entities a name. Primarily setting a name for combinators would be great.

If i have 5 constant combinators that provide 3 values each (iron plates, copper plates, steel) i have to remember the function of every combinator (requested count combinator, divisor value ...
