I use the small 4-way circle, and occasionally this modification for high-traffic areas:
(And/or including straight sections too.)

Note that you don't need large parts of the circle if trains won't be turning around.

Yeah.

The specific case of "the next signal is red so let's take this detour that takes me... back to the same red signal" makes no sense. All it does it waste time and burn more coal.

I was going to make a bug report about this, but saw that this thread already existed. It's close but not identical to what I was going to post - I'm not sure what the official stance is on such cases. ("When in doubt post on the old thread" versus "when in doubt post a new thread&quo...

Does anyone have any numbers as to how many steam plants a nuclear plant with speed bonus <whatever> can run, and how much water it uses? I'm trying to design a power plant that's vaguely balanced in terms of ratios. A fully decked out nuclear plant can provide ~16MW of generation, that's approxima...

Ditto, I support this, maybe even by default.

(Hmm... What about having it refuse to place the first time, but if you try to place it a second time without changing position it'll force-place?)

Long story short, I have "boots of speed" - a secondary set of armor that's just a single fusion reactor, a bunch of exoskeletons, and as many batteries as will fit in the remaining space. It discharges faster than it charges when I'm actively running. If I take it off when it is partially...

It would be possible to use a internal buffer of energy but it wouldn't change the pulse of energy the emitters require to re-charge once that internal buffer ran out. Do people sit and stare at their power screen graphs or something? In all of my testing and use of the fields it felt no different ...

Hmm... Good mod thus far. A couple things: There's a reproducible crash when shift-clicking an upgrade out of the upgrade slot ("control.lua:1226: Key caption has unknown type"). I keep getting a warning that "(player 1) has the GUI for this emitter open right now.". Only thing i...

For the record, I consider this a bug. I am aware of why it was changed, but at the same time I use the car to transport fuel a lot more than I want to automatically refill the car with fuel.

Yeah if you don't someone might inject a nasty script in the calculator page which would allow them to erm... give you wrong results! Or harvest your calculator password! Looks like I do, in fact, need to get into this here. Here's the thing - arbitrary/malicious JS can do a lot more than just give...

Anytime I am allowing JS, I have reason to use SSL.

Whoops, that was ambiguous. Sorry. You're in violent agreement with me. By "you", I was referring to the mod author. As such, I was saying "Regardless of if you are allowed to demand that this be taken down". In other words, taking precisely the same stance as you.

[neat info] That makes sense. Thank you! What do you use barrels for? The only time I've used them was to move oil around by train but I've seen some people do it so they can use logistics bots to move liquid. Two things - for quick-and-dirty "I need oil now so I'm just going to use a car"...

On a more "practical" note: since it is now possible to automate Rocket Defense, how about shooting for x rocket-defense per minute? Ok, let's be real - it should probably be something like 1 per 10 minutes, but still - it could be challenging to make a factory that can churn out rocket d...

After thinking about this issue overnight I've reverted to the 0.0.4 codebase and fixed the issue properly. I'd love to know more. What was the bug, what was the hacky fix, what was the problem with said hacky fix, what was the proper fix? Great mod by the way. I just wish I could get rid of oil ba...

Justice? For what? Someone updated a mod because the original developer (i.e. you) was MIA. Why has that harmed you in any way? Saying "I have returned and updated the mod, this unofficial update's purpose was fulfilled, now please take it down" would be fine. But saying that it's "st...

Ditto, some objects should be flammable beyond just trees.

Another reason to use non-wooden chests!

"We have a plugin system / mod system, so we won't implement the idea because it could be done per plugin / mod" << That's the death sentence for nearly every program / game. Ideas should be implemented if they make sense, regardless if they are already able to be done per mod. Agreed. Lo...

I think you're confusing NP with EXPTIME, since even polynomial problems are also NP (it doesn't stand for "not polynomial"). Replace "NP" with "NP-complete", then. (As it's "easy" to reduce it to a BSAT problem, and it's possible to reduce a subset sum probl...
