Since they cost batteries to use, I'd just assume their durability is their battery charge.

When there was talk of making the express splitter/underground variants require lubricant, I figured it would be indirect via using plain express belts in the recipes, since those require lubricant, not directly so you can't handcraft them... definitely want that ability back (though it turned out t...

I've been thinking that what the mod needs is to make biters expand and spawn new nests more aggressively. It's good that they can be wiped out and get some peace and quiet for a while, but it being so permanent makes defensive structures unnecessary.

Was this the one where it turned out using a non-english localization caused it?

I've mostly only used them when there's a need to empty a pipeline or tank, like if I accidentally got the wrong liquid in.

It would be kind of funny if you could spy on enemy players by hiding among trees, but yeah overall I think this is more helpful than not.

Well, it is, isn't it? According to the above posts.

I've been wondering if that was the case, but if it is it's not showing up on the electric network info...

It is, just, a bug prevents you from manually slotting them in. If you ctrl- or shift-click with a stack of modules in hand it works.

There's a setting in the options for lighting quality, does lowering that help?

It does get tricky finding just the resource you need sometimes... I guess it's just luck.
For an idea of distances needed, typical map might look like this:

Yeah I don't know why those are enabled by default. They're supposedly there for emergencies, but...

For what it's worth, the Resource Spawner Overhaul mod ensures you have a (sufficient but limited) patch of every resource in your starting area, so you're guaranteed to never have to go very far for resources until you've got vehicles and such.

Yeah you gotta go into the mod folder and adjust the config.lua file, basically everything under ["biter-spawner"].

Wasn't able to reproduce this so I'm not sure how useful it is, but while plowing through biters in the tank I was suddenly teleported to somewhere else - sans biters, tank, player character, interface, or any objects on the ground (resources, trees, decorative plants...) and got a popup saying some...

Update: Noticed this happens also with ammo and in trains, but more importantly it also crashes if I get into the vehicle a moment after crafting finishes - I would guess the problem lies with the UI trying to make the weapon/ammo icon that just finished crafting flash, since that lasts for a second...

Now that we have the tank, we have something more directly comparable to the Rocket Launcher than the combat shotgod, and the RL is found wanting. For it's tier and ammo cost, I'd expect something better. It's also kinda unsatisfying to use, with the slow movement and lack of sound (except the HE ro...

Yeah, I always felt things like XP or special skills would feel awkward and out of place in this game, and Jythier managed to put a finger on why.

Simply a turret that fires tank cannon shells. Superior range and power, slow rate of fire, kinda expensive ammo.

Seems like a natural extension of the current turrets.

Not even evolution factor? I know it's that way in the RSO mod, so I thought it was something copied from vanilla...
