my constructors would take the items from the closest PP chest and build the outpost. if you're playing in > 0.10, remember that chest priority has changed (have a look here ) First off, now whenever I destruct something, the bots seem to *randomly* decide to place it in the furthest chest possible...

I recognize that you put lot of effort in your analysis; anyway I find that most of the problems related to fluids (oil, water) is not related to fluids themself but how to move them. While several ideas have been proposed (oil tanker, liquid in barrels) I personally think that simply making pipes n...

Generator is not random, but pseudo-random. It means that given a fixed seed result will always be the same. This is at the base of the map exchange string system. The biggest problem I found is that map is generated on the fly when you enter in a "new" unexplored zone, so the preview coul...

I don't know about the other devs, but I watch all the subforums of bug reports oh, I'm happy about that. Thanks! it's better to open a new thread if the bug is marked as resolved and in fact it isn't what do you suggest in case of thread marked as "not a bug" but I'm sure it is? like thi...

I don't know if this is the correct section, but I'd like to share my 2 cents on bug report threads. Sometimes I found that topics are moved into "not a bug" section without a single word explaining the reason. Sometimes it is quite clear, because there's a discussion in topic, but some ot...

I find it would be nice to have a small number of player inventory slot that can be used as a provider slot. Would be nice, for example, if after coming back from enemy spawner with my load of alien artifacts, robots arrive to take them and move them to a factory for conversion into purple bottles. ...

I consider it as a bug. in no other cases durability is decreased if no item is "mined". Further, it opens the door to a situation where "different actions that cause the same results have different side effects". In other words, opening a chest, taking everything inside up to my...

not properly a bug but starting chest should contain only 5 locos and 10 wagons (integer number of stacks, as all other items) instead of 6 and 12.

If I try to mine a chest but my inventory is full, axe durability is decreased even if I'm unable to mine the chest.

I have a chest with 400 copper plates. my inventory contains 100 copper plates and has a single free slot (all other slots are occupied) I try to get all 400 copper plates from chest - I got only 100 (correct!) they appears in the only free slot, not adjacent to other copper plates. if I take them ...

item count on logistic chest has some glitches. I did a test: on sandbox scenario I put 50 iron chest in an active provider chest. I also added a storage chest and a roboport with 100 robots. you can find the savegame here (it is at 0.25 speed so you can see it in action easily - simply put the 50 i...

will you move it to bug section or should I create a new topic there?

on my pc (4core 2 GHz) no more than 3/4 seconds for generating and almost the same to display it in windows (it take same time to load such a file)

So this might not be very "normal-user"-friendly, but I saw nothing that can't be made easier with the help of a "screenshot-mod" that helps the user to make screenshots from their base, defined area etc. Unfortunately a mod like that doesn't exist, yet. I just put a bit of math...

edit: I'm attaching a ods spreadsheet that calculates correct dimensions for you. You simply need to provide top left and bottom right corners and zoom level. you'll receive the string to use in-game. it should work with any locale but I'm not 100% sure (in Italy we use "," as decimal sep...

would be nice but no: in inventory screen it only shows shooting speed for gun turret and energy consumption for laser turret.
when placed, lot of info are displayed (# of kills, damage per shot, etc) but no range

I already suggested a change here but then I found what I suppose is a bug or at least a strange behavior. Talking about logistic slots, when you first open your inventory no slot is selected and displayed amount on slide is 0. then you select a slot - it get highlighted and the set amount is displa...

I agree that this information should be available in game (maybe with a circle that could be show when placing/holding a key).

Anyway, from lua files I found that
