Re: Friday Facts #305 - The Oil Changes

The Oil Changes: Too bad you seem locked in to this. Pushing back construction bots is not a "fun" change. The suggestion made by the user last week, to have Basic Oil Tech produce Heavy Oil only which must then must be cracked down, was the most elegant solution. You learn about the diff...

Re: Make fluid wagons lighter

To add to this after reading the friday facts, fluid wagons do carry too much for mixed loads. 75k crude would have to be paired with ~30 cargo wagons full of iron and copper in order to be turned into most anything.

Re: Friday Facts #205 - Teaching the things that everybody knows

I disagree with a number of suggestions here. A solid part of the gameplay is figuring things out through experiments and experience. This isn't to say there aren't things which could use more clarity. A big one is same name train stops. Without same name train stops, trains networks are frustrating...
