You might need to explain this better. I don't understand how that's different from what it already does.

Items can be accessed by pressing 1-9 and 0... if that's what you mean, but that seems pretty obvious, so I donno if you meant something else.

Wait, what? That doesn't make sense. Bug report it. Ignore my other explanations. Alright, done . I was starting to suspect a bug, but I had a hard to believing no one else had encountered this before, since I really can't think of anything overly strange I did that could have caused it. Anyway tha...

I'm really not sure how I did this, but as shown in the screenshot I seem to be in an unwinnable state where I can't hand-craft small electric poles, and can't power an assembling machine to make them either... since I don't have small electric poles. I do have wood and copper cable, so that's not i...

Can't you change the assembly machine recipe and drop in the ingredients by hand? I could... but it wouldn't do anything because it wouldn't have power... since I don't have any small power poles to connect it with. [Yeah, that's the problem. You can't craft copper cables by hand at this stage. Thi...

Not quite sure what happened here. My first time playing the campaign I didn't have this problem, but I decided to replay it to see if I could handle that biter rush at the end any more smoothly, and now it looks like I'm stuck. Campaign.jpg I need to place a small electric pole to power my first no...

Minor correction: Enemy projectiles do lead. What they don't do is home.

Leading means they aim in front of you, where they expect you to be when it hits.
Homing means the projectile actually chases you.

I agree with postponing teaching electricity generation, the reasons given in the FFF make sense. Setting up an electric station is actually one of the trickier things for a new player (I remember having a hard time with it) and at the same time it really isn't as integral to the game compared to au...

I did think it was a bit of an odd decision to use the loaders here, since they're not part of the normal game. I don't see why it couldn't just use inserters.

One thing I thought was missing from this iteration of the "NPE" was the story. Obviously you're still going with the crash landing motif, it continues to be referenced indirectly, but never does it say "Hey, you just crash-landed on an alien world." I hope you intend to bring th...

Am I really the only person who thinks traps in challenges like this are not only fair, but expected?

Well obviously the devs thought that. But they also liked that ugly concrete.

Also it's absolutely unobvious that loader must be feeded by belts, not arms.

Hopefully when the loaders have proper graphics that will help make this clear.

While lasers themselves may be silent, anything that uses 2.4 megawatts(!) of power is bound to make some noise. I would suggest at minimum some kind of electrical hum, and perhaps a sizzling sound suggestive of burning at the target.

I have not played with it enough to know how to save the toolbelt from one game to the next, but you’re supposed to be able to do exactly that. This enables you to set it in one game, and then not have to set it again. That’s also why there are 10 rows in the toolbelt, two of which are active. I do...

Not sure how to describe it concisely, so here's an example. I have one favorite, I try to select another, and then somehow I end up with three servers favorited. Favorite.jpg Removing the favorite from either the Railworld or PVP servers unfavorites both of them. Might be related to this bug report...

I play vanilla. I personally feel that a game should be desirable to play sans mods.

Don't worry, it is.

Better with mods though.

Well, I guess this can be moved to Implemented Suggestions.

No idea if my post is what made it happen, but needless to say I'm pleased.

Me too. Also using zipped version (64 bit) on Windows 7. Starting to sound like a pattern.

I know "Reset Zoom Level" is considered a debug command, but I use it frequently because I often want to zoom out, look around, and then return to 100% zoom level. Anyway, I happened to do this just before triggering a cutscene in the new campaign and it caused the zoom level to "vibr...

Playing the new Introduction campaign, I noticed that the top-right tooltip window is cut off on the right edge. This problem goes away once you unlock the minimap, however. Screenshot attached.

Someone on reddit suggested that a better implementation for the ghost cursor thing then having it off by default or activate when you research bots would be to require holding shift, same as when you place ghosts from a real item. If you attempted to place it without shift you'd just get the error ...
