Not sure, I just finished the BP. I need to stamp a few more down and make a couple copies of my platform before I'll know.

Bots are boring.

If I have on my platform hub "Read Contents, Send to platform" checked, and have both a red and green wire attached, even going nowhere, then the signal from "Read Contents" is doubled?
Why is that?

I thought it would be cool if spoilables appearance changed depending on how close to being spoiled they are. Like darker color, greyer color. Instead of just bright color to dank rot.

I was talking striclty about the landing pad and not the platform hub. I feel like the ability to make multiple platforms is sufficient in that regard.

Whether the bays are seperated or not, the main pain point is trying to squeeze everything dropped down to a planet surface though one limited area ...

Taking a look at all of the landing pad mechanics, I feel the whole things needs to be redesigned.

The major issues I see with the current design:

The one per surface limit introduced an unprecedented hard cap to logistics throughput, as you can no longer increase throughput by building in ...

Although it would be nice, I doubt they can achieve this due to the way the game combs through ghosts. The numbers being spit out of such an interface would be unreliable. Making it reliable would be a disasterous hit on UPS as they would have to stop processing ghosts a chunk at a time and consider ...

Lol the derp rebellion has begun.

"This is it guys, enough is enough!" "We will not carry ourselves to a roboport or anywhere else!" "Hold your can high and fly proud because today we're making a.. uh.. well, we're making a STAND!!"

Stacking loaders would be great for testing.

Trying to insert a construction bot into a steel chest, no logi network or roboports nearby, just the single spidertron and a steel chest. It has 100 bots in it's inventor, only 25 capacity from personal roboport. The spidertron can insert any other item in the chest except construction bots.

The ...

Noticed on a factory I was in the middle of building that a bulk inserter was sitting there holdin a fish without power.

Put out a few more of them and sure enough..
I had not tried other types of inserters.

+1 for some sort of Nauvis overgrowth soil

This would be best to put as a selector option. Freshness ascending selects spoilage first, rotting second, and unspoilable last. Would work well with a decider dropdown that filters spoilable vs unspoilable.

You can click a BP on the "New Section" logistics group in a requestor chest, personal logistics, or even a constant combinator. Doing so copies the items needed in the BP to a new logi group.

It's tricky for the constant combinator, you can't use BP item it must be a BP shortcut on your quickbar ...

That is awesome. I wondered if a wedge or pyramid would be optimal. Curious what is the capacity and how quickly is it filled by the wedge setup?

IDK I dropped to Gleba empty handed for the first time not knowing anything about it whatsoever and spent at least 4 or 5 days just figuring it out. I never got attacked until I wandered off to see what the enemies looked like. I never saw a stomper until I have a full blown base with mall / science ...

I've developed a defined strategy after more playtime. Now I choose to have an import platform for each planet, and a science export platform for each planet.

This way the import platforms can remain in orbit until an item reaches zero, and the science platform can remain over Nauvis until the ...
