Reminds me of the futurama episode where they're all eating poppers

Maglev's been done? How about building a hyperloop?

replace the mini map with a snapshot of the death scene for 3 seconds while you're at it.

I feel like night vision should not change the color, instead the screen should wind up about 75% as dark as full night

So far the trend has been that stuff stickied in here is stuff that the devs want to implement, take heart fish

If you absolutely have to unload the train as quickly as possible then replace the regular wagon with one from logistics wagons mod and use bots. If you carefully setup your roboports you can use storage wagons and use this technique to both load and unload faster. If we assume you're loading or unl...

Cool thanx, I'll give that a try

That wonderful grid that appears when one pauses the game, wouldn't it be fabulous if there were a hotkey to bring it up while the game is running?

I agree with ofca. If we succeed in getting betters tools for managing the size of our lognets, distribution of bots will become moot.

@ofca: I must point out that your suggestion would not allow for a network to span across multiple areas (my second bullet point). This would mean we would still have to run ccnet from factory to outpost to control output.

Basically SSilk's suggestion would create a wireless ccnet, yours would not.

I agree that the final form this takes will probably depend on how the code is implemented, so all thats left is to keep our fingers crossed that devs decide to put this in.

Maybe this thread should also be closed with a link to Overlapping Logistic Network II in the final post since they are both utimately about the same thing.

I prefer SSilk's idea because it allows for tons of interesting experiments. To me it is better because it does not only solve one specific problem, it adds possibilities. I also don't feel as though it is overly complicated. Logistics networks transport two things - goods and information: given log...

Names vs Color is a meaningless distinction. Have named networks and allow players to set a color to represent that network end of story. As for the area of effect of roboports, my dream solution would be a slider that allows the player to resize the area it affects.

The mods that having an independant overlapping logistic network would enable is just mind boggling especially if the bots can remain hidden

Well as long as you don't tire of scrapbooking SSilk

Ender Wiggens, is that you?

So I guess you haven't taken a look at the dev's blog yet. The last three posts were about end game. Also, if you'd care to do a search, there are more than a few threads with ideas for the end game.

What if instead of alien artifacts, research from the colony were needed for the last techs?

if you use restart after generating the first time it will generate a new map with same settings. still like this idea though
