To add to it I might offer to display a "delivery queue" like hand production queue that we see that will display current goods requested from the logistic network by both automated and manual requests. Yesterday, I noticed how useful such a queue might be. I had ordered 50 copper ore fro...

I am sure that there are plenty of ideas on this. But with the addition of grids I'd like to go into details from my standpoint Many times I heard the idea of adding module for electric conversion. I am truly against this idea as such modules would most probably just take all grid space negating oth...

I find this a great idea. It would definitely simplify logistic network monitoring and requests. While automated logistic slots are cool for maintaining stuff that you use often like belts, really often you need to just request a one time delivery of a certain item which forces you into creating a t...

And the roadmap is updated :) And while you anwered positively last time we mentioned that the game is not complete without combat system rework I still can't find it in the roadmap up until release... My personal opinion is that 0.16 should be fully dedicated to this topic and not bells and whistl...

That was really fast! I see now why devs were pretty silent on forums for a couple of weeks.

Thumbs up and god speed!

We are okay with development funds for now, our steam release was pretty good, Also the community isn't always the best source for what features to implement, And we prefer to keep creative control, and not disappoint the community by not implementing 'paid for' features Nice to hear your funding i...

First of all I would kindly ask not to judge me harshly for the idea. But in the world of money we all understand that development can't be infinite and in the end developers do it for the money. And while spreading the word to make more people join us and buy the game is an option for income but su...

This is one of the most hyped thread for several months :) I just have to throw in a couple of my thoughts on details. 1. Circuit network. In the poll the idea about radars sounds like "The # of enemies nearby" but the actual target of idea was to trigger defences when enemies approach so ...

The loader is a game changer, you can't argue here. And I think the most of its use it not there without bigger storage buildings. For example unloading trains into chests and you still can't form your chest content into balanced flow of a belt. I think the loader appliance is best if implemented as...

Always nice to see performance improvements. While new biomes are nice to see, they are more of a "bells and whistles" category in my head. Especially looking at the current map generator code with all that biome soup. It was already mentioned multiple times that "terrain fragmentatio...

I'd much prefer a configurable cache size. That way early in game I can tell things to only load enough material for the next object to be made, while later in game my high volume production stands can run with full stack buffers in them to make sure they never stop. This ^^ I wanted to make it a s...

I am totally against removing the circuit network. It extends gameplay and makes a lot of room for creativity. However miniaturizing is a good idea as anything more complex than a handful combinators becomes a real mosstrosity. However moving circuits into a "black box" makes much sense. I...

Maybe it is a good iea to implement rail signals which will trigger red sign if a player approaches/steps on the rail segment as well as trains occupying that segment

Thumbs up

This feature is already implemented in mods. Take a look at them. They are widely used

Nice to see optimizations, always a good stuff!

But as already mentioned - fluid handling is a really wanted feature. I sincerely hope you got enough time to implement it at least in 0.14

I see many uses for this feature. Like on-demand supply, load balancing multistop stations etc. Thumbs up. Simple to implement and has many uses.

I like this idea very much. In late game you have thouthands of towers around and all of them consume energy while idling. Adding sensor towers will optimise perimeter defence greatly. And surely it will add value to the game cause you will be designing new cool defence schemes and not just spam tur...

The idea is good. But the issue is that this behaviour might be intended in some cases. I would propose to extend this idea a bit. Introduce "Sets of pathing rules" for trains. These sets will include various parameters like station crossing, maximum runaround length etc. Later you might w...

I think a special kind of a marker is a great idea. While AutoDeconstruct is a nice thing too having a marker is already a boost. To extend the idea I would propose to use the same marker on assemblers that are missing resources for construction for some time (to prevent blinking). This would help m...
