Nice. I also thought about it. How much tanks?

My tip: Why should an electrical pole be called "substation"?

I repeat, it is possible to build 1000 steam engines (or perhaps only 200 with an advanced power generation), but it's clear, that it is much easier to build only one power generator. Easier to built one nuclear power plant, dig for uranium, concentrate it, etc. put it in the nuclear burner, care f...

@BubbaJim: the cited sentences are just a very fast jump from one thought to the next. This post, too. :) This is because I connect many things together and I don't be able to explain every aspect of that in detail. But there are about a doozen of aspects, which all tell me, that this is the directi...

I think both suggestions make sense, for the first I don't know if +2 aka +4 is not too much, because I think that you loose the clearness of the layout, if you make it too wide. That's parallel to my critic about the longer underground-pipes yet. Anyway, both are about balancing, so I move this thr...

Yes, or having filters in cargo-wagon, that would allow have one cargo-wagon with supply of 16 types of materials. Edit: I think I will try to do some kind of separate logistic systems connected by trains and see what is the easiest solution to make it possible. Like "go to station A, pick up ...

@Zourin: this is no good option, because every missed grep costs energy! The behavior of this changed a lot in v0.8. The interaction between underground belt and inserter or splitter and inserter changed here in many ways. Fast inserters always had a much better chance to grep the items, than basic....

Besides destroying, with the blueprints you can put it in a chest and when it is in the way, deconstruct chest. The items in the chest are moved to another storage chest, before it is deconstructed.

There are also plans for some recycling. See roadmap.

When I deconstruct a belt, but an inserter (e.g. from a furnace) inserts on that belt, the belt is not deconstructed, until the inserter doesn't place items on the belt.

It didn't happen always and depends how many robots will deconstruct the belt.

This is eventually possible with other things, too?

Hm. Well, I can imagine such an "endless mode", which behaves like so. It's some kind of fish-tank, yes fish-tank-mode is a good name for that. But I see your wanted endlessly in automatism: Resource field depleted, robots pack their sack and go to the next field. Endless in the sense of F...

I realy hope that the devs thought of something like this when they posted the following item in their roadmap: (If time allows!) more circuit logic (circuits for electricity, trains, liquids, etc.) That's the reason, why I'm so behind to discuss it now: They take many of their inspiration from suc...

The interface doesn't have much look and feel yet. Why should it? Does it bring something new into gameplay?

I think it's like everything, they will find their style, if it is needed...

Not yet!

There are known issues with the graphics-card, especially on MacOS. So, please, before you post a bug-report, please test, if you can turn on the low-resolution option! If you cannot turn it on within the game (because of the graphic problem), then you need to turn it on in the config-file. To do so...
