Re: Speed of transport belt turns

Hm, following your logic, the distance of my car AFTER the turn (If I brake and accelerate the exact same way) is exactly the same as before, 10 meters. No, because then you would crash into the car ahead. :) And this is absolutely independend from the duration and speed of the corner. In your &quo...

Re: Speed of transport belt turns

...I can't see any reason why the density AFTER the turn can't be the same as before. At the moment, the game rather seems to throttle the throughput down artificially. You drive behind a car, let's say you are very near, 10 meters with 50 km/h. Then comes a turn. Your frontman brakes and you need ...

Re: Speed of transport belt turns

ssilk: these are the reasons why it works the way it works, but it doesn't mean we can't hack it a little bit to make ti work better. I already did some small hacks to make merging belts work better version or two back. Phuuuu. I really though my benchmarks is not reliable anymore... :) I measured ...

Re: Speed of transport belt turns

The behavior of the speed of the transport belt turns seems very illogical to me. I don't understand why I am forced to use the faster version of the belt at the turns not to loosen up my items on the belt. Basically every item covers an area and this cannot be covered by others. In the inner side ...

No, that's quite ok, it should be documented and a tutorial should say it.

Re: Random Ramblings #8

SilverWarior is right. We elect them and then there is no control anymore. Who controls them? The press? Come on.

I think this is to be changed. WE need to control them, after elected.

Therefore we need the informations. When you get the big view, we are at the beginning of that direction.

Re: Thoughts about blueprints

Some small additions: - the built bots should be a different entity than the logistic bots. Reason is, that otherwise, they bring the whole logistic system in trouble, when I build a bigger structure. Another reason is, that the bots are eventually smarter. Perhaps like so (much too concrete): Logis...

[0.7.4] MacBook without external mouse

This evening it raveled by train and after doing some work I wanted to play a bit. But I forgot my mouse. Doesn't matter - I thought - trackpad is also ok. But it isn't. :) for this who don't know: no right mouse button. No middle mouse button. But zooming is ok. Well, after some configuration fails...

Re: Station names

I mean - besides renaming station names freely, there should be something like that, because currently I won't use the station name, even if it is mine. On the other hand, I wouldn't like to rename all stations like that. Too stupid. I liked the way railroad tycoon did make station names. There wher...

Re: Beacons need to be altered.

I would simplify, so that everyone can follow. Example: I something is imputed with one and outputs 2, the gain is 2. 2 times the input. So if you input this output into the next, which have also this gain, the total gain is 4. Now when you do that once again it is not 6, it is 8 because it is multi...

Re: Indicator next to accumulator capacity in Electric Netwo

I've in my factory currently 7 networks. Some of them are out during night by purpose. Which should be taken to show the accumulator capacity? Or did you mean an extra view in the electric network info?

Come on, the lines of the last hour shows clearly, if the capacity will fit. :)

Re: Thoughts about blueprints

Yes, well, that was my thought too. I think it is important, to take care about that. That's the reason why - it will cost something to load a blueprint from disk - there are game-content blueprints and own blueprints. I will explain a bit: the costs are not big. Like 10-100 red and green potions or...

Re: Wiki revived

I mean this is because of the old version (v0.3?) to which the original wiki-documentation is applied for. Most of it is just copied from there and many things have changed since then, for example you don't need to care about orientation of a station. As said, much todo, but everyone is invited to h...

while writing this I just notice that most of it only makes sense in map-view so maybe just adding a drop-down menu where you can select the layer of choice is a even better approach for it. Exactly that I wanted to answer. :) Not every layer makes sense in every view. Compare this with games like ...
