Short-ranged - to avoid unnecessarily aggravating biters. This is a great idea because it limits their usefulness in the turret creep strategy. Trouble is once a train is stopped, it would need a tremendous amount of firepower to get out of a swarm. If it's hit one biter (especially a behemoth) you...

I've used Bobs Vehicle Equipment - sadly it doesn't seem to be updated to v0.15 yet. bobingabout is actively working on updating his mods to 0.15, he's started and already done some of them. The problem is that he's such a prolific mod author that he's got an incredible number of mods to convert so...

We need armoured trains which are heavier and slower so you can build some for the outposts and run regular trains where it is safe. Ideally they'd have replaceable turrets but given that the devs are trying to reduce turret creep they'd probably balk at the idea of putting turrets on wheels. :lol: ...

I read a couple of topics talking about waltzing in with personal lasers. Are those worthwhile now? I remember they used to handle maybe 1-2 biters in a wave of 20, so I abandoned them entirely long ago. I'm waiting for the non-experimental release so I haven't played it yet but: Greatly increased ...

Man this would only use up important developer time and has no benefit for the whole game play. Live with it. High res graphics, enhanced map colours and non-square resource tiles use up important developer time and have no benefit for the whole game play. Aesthetics matter, we like pretty stuff. J...

Does this illustrate the problem? Yeah that seems to be the issue. I'm sure it's about 1000x more work than it's worth to fix. Which means I'll just have to spend the rest of forever using nothing but small and medium poles. Oh well. They are updating the graphics for high res anyway. Maybe they'd ...

Does the mod only damage players or will it kill the local fauna as well?

Does this illustrate the problem? The small poles have their wire connection in the centre and thus not grid aligned, the big poles are centre and grid aligned both.
The solution would be to grid align the electrical connection for the small poles.

Real world power generation can be broken into base, load-following and renewable. With this nuclear behavior the devs have now given us all three types - nuclear = base, Coal/Steam = load following and solar = renewable. To me this is ideal, the nuclear isn't a drop-in replacement for an existing ...

Since heat generation is controlled by varying the fission rate I don't see how that can be true. The control rods on nuclear reactors absorb neutrons to keep chain-reaction fission feedback from getting, um, out of hand. Exactly, the control rods slow the chain reaction. Load following is the pote...

I built a simple circuit to detect if the accumulators were increasing in power or decreasing. If they are increasing it means dawn, decreasing means dusk. I use it for daytime-only radars but it could work for daytime-only furnaces. Might fit your purpose: Switch off radar when accumulators are dec...

Dont forget you also need to account for power > 10% and increasing otherwise they could turn off and not turn back on unless you drain enough power to get below 10% If the accumulated value dips to 20 and then starts rising the rise/fall detector in (5) will instantly detect that, it isn't depende...

Any experienced modders who can help with this?

FF#183 "we want at least a week of playtesting before considering the experimental release"
FF#185 "Internal playtesting kicked off early this week"

Sounds promising.

Looks a little OP but the documentation and presentation are excellent.

As for ghosting unresearched stuff - I am personally against it. That could be a game-start option or some lua console command for those who really want it, but it should not be available "by default". I am against it too, the game needs to start small with few options so as not to confus...

we could also make a bio farm waste plant, where we can burn dead biters. then we get power, and soap, soap is needed to keep clean and remove radioactive waste.. (maybe more things) How about if improperly disposing of the nuclear waste causes the biters to evolve faster with a localized effect so...

I think you've gone the wrong way on the difficulty settings. You call them: "Basic Settings" and "Advanced Settings" but more reasonably these should be called "Advanced Settings" and "You won't have a clue what these mean until you've played at least 20 hours Set...

Clicked on a video on April 1st, didn't get Rick rolled!

Impressive Nilaus, better than I expected.
