I have a suggestion re: robot attrition. Personally, I'm playing with the defaults, and as I understand it, you added it so exploration to other moons/planets didn't immediately turn into bot-bases. My suggestion is this: add gravity to moons and planets. Nauvis is the baseline; no attrition. Bodies...

Howdy. I've been playing the mod for about a week. I've only just launched a few satellites. I avoided all the space tech because I assumed (and not too far from the mark), that it was going to take some effort for the production chain. What follows are a small collection of things I've noticed or q...

TL;DR In the production graph, highlight the background of the items RED if the consumption is greater than the production. What ? There's not a whole lot more "what" than that. The important aspect is the "why". Why ? The main reason--besides idle curiosity--I look at the produ...

By way of an example: Navigate to Options | Mods | Install . Search for "Space Exploration". Click the first result "Space Exploration". In the right-pane, Dependency section, click the "->" next to "aai-industry...". Observe that it resets the "Install&q...

TL;DR Make ghost placement of undergrounds behave the same way as placing corporeal undergrounds. Whenever a normal underground belts or pipes are being placed, the "second' placement orients properly--in other words the first is the "input" (going underground) and the second orients ...

I really like the design of the entities. My one critique is that they are too clean (for lack of a better description). For instance, placing one of the Krastorio chests in the middle of your factory, it sticks out like a sore thumb; it doesn't mesh well with the overall feel of the factory. Other ...

In your reddit post, you referenced this "Not a Bug" bug report, and it too needs to be re-opened / re-evaluated. To use an archery term, the behavior is sinful. If "inserters can drop items faster than they can pick them up", as Rseding91 said, then I would never expect the &quo...

This FFF hints at, but does not really explicitly confirm or deny, a thing I have wanted for a long time: Condition combination control; that is, currently with AND and OR, your ability to control is somewhat limited if you want them combined in complex ways. For example, there is no way to achieve...

The Train UI doesn't address logical operator precedence. My assumption is that and 's precedence is higher than or (e.g., a or b and x or y => a or (b and x) or y ), but it isn't obvious from the UI nor--would I expect--it to be obvious to the general player. And if my assumption is wrong, then it ...

That's some high-powered rationalizations going into the logic for removing the queue. A handful of techs are real choices out of about 120 techs, like single-digit percentage. Everything else tends to be prereqs (forced choice) or effectively random (see Paradox of Choice) to prevent idle labs. As ...

Pretty please!?

Increasing the charging time would severely impact personal roboports when clearing forests and reorganizing parts of your factory. Increasing the charging time will be circumvented with more roboports, which means more solar stamps, which means more tedium and boredom for the players. If they are g...

I do appreciate *trying* to maintain compatibility between EXPERIMENTAL versions, but ultimately fixing it now than later is better. There's no guarantee that you will get it correct in 0.17 and then... we'll have to wait for 0.18. When I downloaded 0.16, I saw this: This is the cutting edge "e...

Since tanks don't take tree damage anymore, could you drive through the trees and burn the forest behind you as a workaround?

Was coming here to report this. Thanks for grokking it!

My mode of operations is...

* Make save;
* Do landfill and have my mouse jiggle and mess up;
* Reload save;
* Do landfill and have it come out perfect; and
* Make save.

I do not like the patchwork maze of cliffs. Not that they impede me, mind you, but it looks and feels terrible. After many, many generations I think my main beef with them is how short they are. Imagine if you had 3x1 lakes everywhere. Yuck. Having long, unbroken stretches of cliffs seems like it wo...

I was setting up a server under Windows 10 bash . I am using ComEmu64 as my emulator. The process was running with 0.16 and I saw a reddit update that 0.16.1. I tried to ^C the server process to shut it down and it did not respond to the keyboard input. Instead I ^Z it to suspend the process and the...

Well, thanks. I'll try some of what you suggested there and report back. Cheers.

Not needed. Use stations loading only requested items from design thread. It's not an issue of loading the wrong items. It's an issue of not unloading the entire inventory before the train leaves. See more below. Also if you have trains going back to the depot with left over items in their cargo, i...
