Could give it tiltrotors to get a VTOL plane. Would probably make it easier to implement, at least...

Hey, those turrets aren't rotating

Nice. What was the filesize for the screenshots/video?

Yeah this isn't nearly so bad with default resource settings, it's when I try to use low frequency/high richness for more train gameplay that it gets painful.

I love the RSO mod, but the vanilla settings are capable enough at creating large patches of resources widely spread, so what makes RSO really work is how you are guaranteed to have a minimum amount of resources in the starting area, enough to reach trains and such. So if the Starting Area setting w...

I'll settle for a low quality giffy, with my zoom set so far out it doesn't make much of a difference

Nice. Now the only question is, where can I upload a 300 MB animated PNG...?

I had a problem recently where it'd insert some item that then disappeared completely - I think it was stone or iron plates when placing a furnace. Does the mod check if the appropriate research has been done?

Sweet! Would it be possible to make it turn off nighttime briefly when it takes a shot? I'm using 0.1 zoom at the center to see how my base evolves throughout, but about a third of the shots are at night (natch), so it's hard to tell what's happened during those. It also seems to catch the floating ...

I'm guessing backwards compat is out then?

I'm not sure I'd use them if walking speed is the only effect...

I'm trying to understand chain signals; do they have the same state as the next signal?

I suppose the simplest possible workaround/hack for the rocket is to make the screen brighten (from the rocket engine flames) until it can't be seen through before deleting the rocket and unbrightening.

I was just thinking, what happens if you output into an active provider chest and limit by using a smart inserter tuned to the amount of repair packs in the logistics network?

Question is if anything else covered by the blueprint should be deconstructed. Could be useful if you've got some stray belts in the way, could be bad if you use some sort of repeating asymmetric pattern.

I agree that the game shouldn't end end, but rather you get some cool final ability, like an orbital communication or weapons platform or something. If you've managed to get stuff into space it's probably safe to say the game is essentially over, so the ability to scout wherever you want or attack b...

The supply challenge plays quite differently from regular Factorio, so no.

I guess you could use the Resource Spawner Overhaul mod and turn off the new generation scheme, and only get the guaranteed starting resources? Haven't tried that myself.

Is your defensive line very unevenly shaped? Or are you also including the inserters for the turrets in the tediousness? That could get old fast...

Maybe an energy shield that vanishes instantly when you get in range would be appropriate?
