The reason PLD is used inspite of this is because Players often do not like the Stress of Speedrunning the Game, and prefer just building their Factory. It is way more common for the Factory Building focussed Players to do PLD, because it is a low effort "gotta get the job done" type of w...
I understand now, maybe because after syncing new mod it is "most comon" to use "host saved game" and edit the descriptions, than expecting the game to launch the save right after the syncing of mods. I often use "continue hosting" so do not run into the annoyance of sw...
In some ways, it feels a little bit too easy. The previous solution of people reading the amount of Steam in storage tanks felt like it needed a bit more brainpower and engineering, but it's hard to justify missing capabilities with this reasoning. You still need brainpower and engineering to not w...
I think if you tick the 2 options at the bottom it works like single player, the last one seem like it was unticked in your game for some reasons or am i missing something ?
Artillery is the best way to do if you want passive playstyle imo But the argument that some player can still play the game using only flamethrower i think is illustrating that there are many way to do differently than with PLD Offensive landmines comes to mind and the new tesla turret or gun may al...
My understanding is that pretty much the entire point of biters existing is that they are a resource sink and require you to set up supply lines/logistics to deal with them. That seem something obvious to me too Also artillery is easier to use if you can't click fast or precisely, not PLD. And sayi...
I like the removal of the stone poop when rocks are destroyed, but it also occurred when mining rocks with inventory full or when you deconstruct with robots. I guess that leaves still some room for some rock sabotage ? =) Did the little stone poops make the game fun? Is rock droppings a core part o...
but maybe I've missed something: There's many post online saying people have hard time using a nail and a hammer without ruining their hands. But there's usually nothing wrong with the hammer and nails. It takes some practice to do some things, thinking about what you are doing and trying to improv...
Does anyone have a tutorial of recursive blueprints? I never used it and want to learn it. I don't have a tutorial, but i used it quite a lot, and i would recommend using another mod like AAI or tape-measure to have a way to know the coordinate of the tiles as it speed up the experiment by a lot. T...
I think it's safe to say that learning from ChatGPT is at best ill-advised :). One could say the same about randos from the internet. :) I'm a random person from the internet, and sometimes i use perplexity.ai :) , because it can gives sources for the answer, when asked about trains it gave an aswe...
I like "Yummy value" :) I think it's quite the change to have the ouput "calculated" for us now. Most likely for the better considering all those extra little seconds wasted here and there and the inefficiency it represented. I understand it's not quite the helmod or factory plan...
I have no experience with mods but I can imagine ... Maybe there are mod creators that are wanting to go through that same process but I can imagine ... This very reason is also why I'm wondering about space age I think you should try some of those overhaul you may be surprised to find some granula...
How is that better as a pollution type ? x) It was joke, I put smiley faces on the end. I did that too ! And yeah I can see them going with the EM pollution increasing storm power thing, but again that would be rather disappointing. Since you can 100% lightning proof a part of your factory with a l...
Marathon is the game variant that uses the expensive version of the recipes, isn't it? That's how i understand it, expensive recipes + expensive technologies. I wanted to share view on why it doesn't necessarily feel like masochism for me although i can understand why it would look like it, and hav...
I think marathon compete with overhaul mod in players attention because they have the same target audience. When i play with mod that increase challenges or complexity, i would use default settings not marathon. Otherwise I think it's very enjoyable too as set up, because i think also i have experie...
Thunder ! How is thunder a pollution type? That's an environmental hazard, not something you produce... I was thinking maybe cultural desecration pollution, robots getting angry at you ransacking the archaeological sites of their builders/victims How is that better as a pollution type ? x) I was th...
You could post a save game, even empty, so it's easier to sync the mods to the exact version you are using. If you want to try and search for yourself, you can use the debug tools in game, accessible pressing F4 by default and search for "time usage". If active this option will show number...
