These are my thoughts so far. what do you think?

This sounds like a remarkable pain in the ass, while also conflicting with pretty much every mod that uses many packs per lab.

Having multiple lab areas to handle a few select techs sounds like a chore and not worth building towards, especially ...

train gui looks nice, but i still miss ability to name trains.
so i will be able to search for them (or filter by name), in train overview.

btw. drag and drop is quite good, no more deleting and rewriting train plans.

i'm not sure, if i like visuals of it, but concept is quite good.

also, those ...

Can we have both of fluids, with and without temperature?


I think the point of removing temperature is to get rid of extra maths. Currently to calculate the energy in a unit of fluid based on it's temperature you have to use the formula (current temperature - default temperature) * energy per ...

Yuoki is planned, but have not done anything with it yet.

Py in combination with other mods is hassle in general, and i don't plan to support any weird combination of py with other mods,
standalone py should be working (have not checked it after adding pyores tho')
other standalone mods, that ...

So, oil burners is not more ecological?


It's more of opening up options to the player. don't forget that I also wrote into the game emissions multipliers. different fuels will pollute more than others. If you burn Hydrogen for example, it produces very little pollution.


Burning hydrogen ...

Another item that really needs to go is the iron chest. The wood chest can be produced in surpluss because you can use the excedent as fuel when you can build steel chests, and steel chests are not only last tier, they are aslo used in logistic chests as part of the recipe. SO I avoidn iron chests ...

guess you have never seen oil burner generator or diesel generator

yes, they are cute

I need help. I have intalled SeaBlock right in the game. And now I don't have any recipe for resin. How I understood it must be allowed from beginning of the game without any ingridients or technologies, but I don't have it.


in seablock recipes some recipes are unlocked trough progression ...

The use of early logistics bot is to supply yourself with them. Provider and storage chests are fine for that. Though even then you need some of the robot speed upgrades to be practical

not just to suply yourself, you can also use them for blueprint building. at certain point (usualy still far ...

Why does pure water override ground water when you enable it? I think regular ground water would still be useful if you play with very low water. Though I guess it would compete with other liquids for resource generation
It seems the only way to use water pump jacks to get normal water is to ...

that's where stack inserter can say a word

Where is the sorrow at not being able to use axes in modded games?
I think everyone has made their sorrow rather clear.

Axes will still be modable, just not with a slot for them. The character still wields a pickaxe in their animation and you can tier your mining using 0.16 modding already ...

while i like changes, rails are out of place in production. assembler or maybe even solar panel will make more sense. not sure if rails were put there just to make more use of stone, can't imagine other reason for rails in this particular science pack.

i guess picture says everything.

while i understand in terms of optimisation it's most likely easier to just calculate number of bots sent * pickup stack size (yes i have robot cargo bonus researached), still it looks weird that robot wants to pick 4 items, while there is only single item in box ...

soon (TM)

game doesn't differentiate between bot tiers, just gets idle ones to assign them to task.

what happens to my 300h saves after switching to the new version? will i continue?


Yes, the game is always backwards-compatible for the last few versions.

if i remember correctly (either it was mentioned in post, or fff), 0.17 will support loading saves from 0.15 and 0.16 only. if someone ...

it'd be useful to be able to have a tab or something dedicated to a pack where the game doesn't automatically update the individual mods (as this might break the pack overall) but perhaps keep the ability to have the whole thing updated by the curator while keeping these files separate from the ...
