I meant more the usage of 2.718, I.e. e, the exponential constant.

I think I should have written some another interesting number . It means just quality expenses. I have no real numbers, so I wrote random number I like.

Are you suggesting an... e^xponentally increasing cost? I mean, that has to be intended as a joke, right? By saying "x" aka "*" aka "multiply" I mean that an appropriate cost factor may be set to match the original idea. Setting up a splitter filter and recycler in the...

Updating the quality costs material, not just time (and power).

I agree with that. So let's make a special expensive recipe with x2.718 cost and producing time factor.

I didn't read entire thread carefully, please note me if this was already discussed.
AFAIK this is max theoretical throughput, not a real game case that contains a) junctions of various quality and b) left turns. Is there an interest for real game results?

I need constant combinator that can give one value by index signal, like an array.
Please.

Previous versions can't load files from later versions, and that includes the achievement list. That is intended and that's how it's working.

One could argue about that. Forward compatibility is not a rocket science in software development.

I'm with team "inertia physics for thrusters". It should't be very difficult to make the acceleration proportional to the thruster power. But of course, that bring the problem of deceleration: how do you ensure that you stop platform at the right place? Maybe make the engines "stock ...

Same picture again, now with comments:

Could you share more details how memory cells and access are implemented? Or at least a BP?

Good. How about light and smooth shadows?

Challenge accepted !

No, shadows should lie on the ground
With the distance, every shadow becomes blurry because the Sun is not a point light source.

Yes - Power poles

Not sure if wires should drop shadows. Have you ever seen electric wire shadow in the daytime?

am several hours into the game and just now noticing that there are no oil patches on the map. It is possible that oil patches exist, just in an unusual distance. Make a little cheat: enter edit mode in the console (in a separate game save to not ruin achievements) and look around in surroundings y...

Yeah, and not having wood as an ingredient for the rail recipe?!?

I thought these are golden ones. Expected for gold ore

Kinda little bit sad for me personally. I see intersection intricacies as part of fun. Making it easier takes some part of game from me. Graphics is awesome nevertheless I guess, there will be various "schools" among the players, like "no delivery bots", "no beacons", ...

Can't wait to start making railway pr0n

Removing the ballast because there is concrete underneath would hardly be realistic.

The concrete is absolutely realistic.
Of course, this is expensive and this is used only where needed, or if... railway owner is too rich

The angles from the circular track are very close to 22.5° which is good for making circles look round and even given that 5²+12²=13². Actually, 1:2 slope ratio is the only clever solution in the game because it matches how we build sloped walls and other buildings. I just wanted players to not say...

yellow = 22.5°-angel (wider than high)

BTW arctan(0.5) = 26.6°, not 22.5°

May I ask for very large radius rail curves, for aesthetic purposes? They look more natural. Also, current curves might require significant train slowdown, so large radii would be useful. And I'd like to have very small radius curves (excl. half diagonals for simplicity), and trains would pass them...
