following up; if there are different -speed- inserters attached to an assembler, do the faster inserts get served before the slower ones? assume yellow and blue inserters.

stone is also used in trackage. build more railroads.

it could function for that, but i was speaking of my own (56-year-old) situation.

I suppose it could be considered a spouse/S.O. control...

or, recharging robots could take a completely different approach. Rather than -recharge-, replace the discharged battery with a charged one. Upside is that robots need not spend -time- charging, -and- that infrastructure to charge and maintain battery replacement stations becomes an infrastructure t...

Having played several games now amounting to hundreds of hours, I find i need a mod/feature that will act as follows: After a pre-set absolute clock-time or # of hours played, the game should freeze, display a 5 second count-down during which the game is saved, then is shut down. I expect such a fea...

please allow me to ride along on your suggestion, and possibly extend it. In the fuel tab of the train properties, enable a conditional for "seek fuel", maybe settable as to percentage remaining. in train stops, enable a condition for "I am a fuel stop". This condition could be m...

the 'upgrade planner' mod would address this need.

that rather sounds like the Factorissimo (sp?) mod... you get buildings within which power is generally available, as i understand it.

unless the upgrade works dramatically differently than other upgrades, an increase in the possible length of an underground shouldn't affect the actual length of an already placed underground.

Haven't tried 0.15 as yet, but have looked at new features via YouTube, the wiki and the forums. Also looked about for this idea, but no obvious hits. Anyway, I suggest a new feature path for Programmable Speakers: Sonic Turrets. (Possibly this could work as a mod?) The basic idea is to have one or ...

how about a robot-exclusion tower? instead of providing docking and power, it repels robots?

while an interesting idea, you'd effectively be -lowering- the efficiency of the furnace to draw off what you think is residual heat. Heat recovery systems are normally relegated to smoke-stacks. Now, if you want to pipe all your smoke output to a central tower, then heat-recovery, possibly as a hea...

I second the request for a circuit-controlled valve. Even for mundane operations such as switching between lubricant production and "heavy-oil-2-solid-fuel" production.

Flamethrower and cluster grenades cure many ills. and legs (exo-skeletons). lots of legs. A few destroyer capsules don't hurt, either.

is there an actual definition of a "Loader" somewhere? I'm assuming it's some sort of higher-volume inserter, albeit with a different graphic.

i just thought the pump used the temperature difference surface and bottom to generate it's own power. can't remember the name of the technology...

extending your metaphor, standard rocket launch gives the standard 1,000 space science packs. However, if you go along, and set up a 'space science factory', you get somehow -enhanced- space science packs, as well as again the ability to retrieve the standard packs as you stated. Basically, I'm sugg...

cluster grenades clear trees -very- effectively.

so it's a neutron laser?

just started my third game; first one with active biters enabled; is that new enough?
