Please make "saving" reset the autosave timer too. It's so annoying to save, only to then have the game save again just a short while later. Or to load in again and a little while later it does an autosave. Especially if it's a save that you reload several times in a row while you try to r...

16.6ms is eons in computer-speak, about 50 million cpu cycles at 3ghz.... Instead of dropping a fame that can't be drawn wouldn't it be more visually pleasing to have a subroutine hold on to whatever the current/last frame data was, and constantly feed that at 60 fps whether or not you can update t...

Survey doesn't work (only by people in a domain, etc.). I don't care which name you choose for anything, just pick one and stick to it! I call them drones, not bots, because that's what they are. I call the uranium ores "bright and dark". I only ever call the biters "aliens", not...

Without pretending to know exactly how SDL and GPU's work... why do frames that can't be rendered in time get dropped? Shouldn't the game be writing (ideally, only the changed pixels) to some sort of frame buffer that is constantly updated as the screen is polled? My understanding of screen tearing...

i thought you'd use a new graphics engine for 0.17 to make the game smoother... something like having the gpu detached from cpu calculations to make running/driving around much smoother.. I don't think you understand how it works. The GPU is independent. But it has to draw what the CPU has told it ...

Do you really lose any significant amount of sulfuric from mining sites? I just build them with a storage tank, put a second train stop (usually on the same track but no reason you can't have it the other siee) and I have a set of trains that do nothing but deliver sulfuric to the relevant sites. Be...

wont work for me i look at those website often while i am playing like play some pause game look at website and com back some time later too short to quite and start game or close website Then you'll suffer a performance hit in comparison to people who have the same hardware but just close the brow...

i did not get why the blog post where say about the Browser since i know some of people like me wont close it just for the game they just want it solve since i often have 10 tabs open and if i try close them 4 days later there all are back and i look at them often while play the game it is play gam...

Electrical networks which can "burn out" their upstream thin cables if you over-use them seem sensible. The UPS cost will be enormous, though. Fluid ideas sound good. A storage tank is surely just a pipe with a four-way junction, no? Directionality, etc. is just a pain to code but shouldn'...

Or you could, as I tend to do in SDL, pass scancodes around but convert options that are currently using keycodes. With SDL (that's what you're moving to, right?) they are a simple conversion. For instance... most internal functions want scancodes. But you have SDL_GetKeyFromScancode and SDL_GetScan...

Maybe it's time for the scenario settings to let you choose the map generator you want. I.e. set all the resources and use the "Geographically accurate" generator. Or the "0.16" generator for compatibility. Or the "evil god" generator that technically complies with your...

Shallow water... now maybe you could do something about the fish! (i.e. put automated fish-traps on the shallow water!) Also, make it cheaper to dirt-over the shallow water But this should be the solution in the map generator for putting the player on an island.... shallow water to the surrounding l...

Yes to all. But it would be nice to have a feature that games have had since the early days (The Settlers on DOS, for instance). Priorities. There should be a global list of what's a priority to collect/deliver and what's not (e.g. wood). It would only take a choice-list of the existing item-types: ...

How about not so much a research queue, as a research plan? If you bother to set it up, it'll still stop on each research but you just need to "accept" for it to pick up the next research in your grand scheme. Hell, you could export the plans as special blueprints... I know I ALWAYS get so...

P.S. "Play" button far too large in the final examples, and please capitalise things consistently (look at those hide/show preview buttons).

The red and green do more. "OK" and "Cancel" direction don't matter as much as the flow / which-side / the arrows / the colour. I imagine most RTL language users would prefer the exact opposite anyway. It's not hard to make a nice GUI flow. It's keeping it there when things chang...

Was late to the game (0.15/0.16?). I think I played only two games without aliens (first one without realising that I was on an island until I got to the last science... which was blue at the time I think, the second to try out Bob's mods etc.) Have sent any number of rockets. Have almost all the ac...

"minutes=__1__ __plural_for_parameter_1__[1]__minut__[ends in 01-19]__minute__[rest]__de minute__" Urgh. Never thought about proper GNU gettext, which is basically designed with this kind of thing in mind and then people can just use a compatible translation program and send you a translat...

Isn't "offensive programming" when you can't find the f***ing, sh***y, b*****d bug that's c***king everything up?
