What

Right now, when you hover on a space platform in the list of surfaces, you only see the planet it is stopped at or traveling between, and its speed and such.

I would like it to also show the status message that’s in the top left of the space platform cargo/schedule window ("Paused ...

This has been annoying when starting to build multiple higher-quality space platforms, because not only do I not need whole stacks of rare cargo bays, asteroid crushers, chemical plants, and assembling machines, I don’t *have* them either, so the rockets won’t auto-launch and I have to manually fill ...

In addition to the strategies already mentioned, I have found out that if you have Fulgora tech (I did Vulcanus just in the starting area, then Fulgora, then expanded on Vulcanus), it is possible to kill a small demolisher solo with just the tesla gun, spamming destroyers, level 6ish damage research ...

Then either use Buffer chests/storage chests everywhere or if you use a requester chest, make sure there is also a filtered inserter capable of taking spoilage out of requester chests; either put the spoilage on a belt or into a provider chest to be taken away.


Requester chests and buffer ...

Shouldn’t walls be immune to electricity, anyway?

Thank you for this report and fix! When I was building on Fulgora I was getting irritated by this constant “ert ert ert … ert ert ert … ert ert ert …” that turned out to be the sound of my water pipes being filled by ice melters.

I figure it would place ghost gates. (Where would it build walls?) This is like if you don’t have underground belts and it places ghost undergrounds. I don’t think force build ever cares what is in your inventory, but I could be wrong.

Using super force build to build straight rails could insert gates when it crosses a wall, but instead it creates gaps in the wall:

Current behavior:

Would be better:

+1 — I also would like an option to hide the minimap when hovering (at least if the "entity tooltip" is tall). I'd also like the list of pins to be hidden at the same time, since it could be arbitrarily tall.

I’d like to have this. I had trouble discovering there was any way to create custom pins.

Also, there could be a pin button in the “Tag properties” dialog, so you can add a pin for a tag without the key combination.

Also, something in “Tips and tricks” for tags, introducing the idea that the ...

From what I have seen, the platform acts like a construction bot that is always touching every item. For example, it also auto-repairs buildings with only repair packs in inventory. Moving to storage is what a construction bot would do if you used the remote view "ghost cursor" on a planet, too ...

100-100 results in just infinite flood of same resource (1-8 items per capsule). Manual assignment for downwards shipping is seemingly ignored until something in space platform's brains snaps under unclear conditions.


It sounds like you have the same problem I had. There is an invisible limit ...

In Space Age, I couldn’t figure out why my resources weren’t getting dropped from orbit promptly. I found here that the problem is that I didn’t have enough cargo bays to accept all the cargo pods, but that wasn’t very obvious, because it looked like the cargo landing pad was idle for long periods ...

Perhaps you're thinking of FFF 394, which announced that oil refineries (and other buildings) can now be flipped.

It might be nice if the research info also had some way of presenting “your research is currently limited by the supply of <name> science pack”. Perhaps it could count and graph the number of labs that are idle because they have some, but not all, required science packs. That would help spot “oops I ...

I like the Display Panel and the fact that it functions like a combinator (great for debugging) but the actual display being less than 1x1 block is too small, this needs to be 2x2/have a 2x2 variant to be able to catch your eye in all the visual noise.

+1. Came here to post that large icons are ...

One way to work within the limitations is to perform granular synthesis: instead of playing 1-tick sounds that are intended to splice perfectly, play longer sounds that are designed to get overlapped randomly and blend together to the final result.

Question - what’s going on with that splitter in the inventory sounds video? It’s swapping the lanes of iron and copper? They can do that??


A filtered splitter puts everything that doesn't match the filter on the other output. Or if you didn't know splitters could have filters: splitters can ...

The thing that has bugged me about the vehicle sounds (as they currently are in the released game) is that they don't reflect engine output — which is significantly determined by the vehicle's acceleration , not solely its speed. I want to hear trains roar when they start pulling out of a station ...

Finding the right spots is also made easier by these resource nodes having yellow smoke (yes, we can have animated resources now). Jerzy has made the acid puddles of this section in a couple of ways, earlier on we had puddles filled with liquid acid, but we moved to dried up puddles to keep the ...
