Aliens are like trees now.

In the way.

But at least you can get rid of them with fire or generous use of explosives.

I prefer to use trains and waiting bays lategame. That way I can wire up the bays to keep a solid flow of raw materials in. Without having to resort to piles of chests everywhere. And my usual response to material overflow is I'm not using it FAST enough. Need more smelters, beacons, manufacturing c...

Here's an idea.

What if the tech for active logistics was put behind a steep wall of the same tech (I think it's red green only right?) or possibly added blue.

That way if you do want to research it, it's semi walled off in this huge (2-3X) jump. Still obtainable, just not trivial.

Storage buffer in my bot based main base is roughly 10k for all plates and various other stuff usually sit in the low hundreds.

So if I want to shore up or expand I'm not waiting forever on a microbuffer.

I'm beginning to think of laser as a mid game item. Good to defend the base but not at full evo. With the addition of uranium bullets, and lategame production, turrets pull way ahead in damage. Lasers may have undefended damge. But I don't think it scales as well. Unless someone has a handy graph to...

Nicely done!!

If anything the graphs really show the effect of the scaling in a nice visual format.

just a general FYI if nobody has noticed this before. (I know I sure haven't.)

inserters move packs between labs now....

Thanks Porkchop!! Will attempt this asap.

Edit: for the life of me I cannot find the file. ;/ I tried a full scale file search as well. do you have a full line to find it? the full folder and file name?

edit: nevermind... founf it. and I feel like an idiot.

hey all! small issue. I'm getting a failure to load achievement data error on startup. not sure what gives as I have reinstalled the game. deleted and reinstalled mods. and even did a full on hunt down the directory and manually delete. ;/ this error also seems to not allow me to carry over any data...

as a new player, and a partial engineer... and someone who always tries to follow K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid) I'm looking at distance. I think you are unloading to much into the system. The chests fill up too quickly and jam, so the belts jam, but because the left most rail car has to move the...
