for the love of love, use hcl rather than hsv: it looks good.
This is an important point. RGB is unnatural hardware level color representation, it's a shame that people still use it. People used to use RGB and nobody cares this is an evil colorspace.
Once you are familiar with HCL and CIELAB ...

There are so many possibilities and nuances using trains. It's easy to miss some non-obvious trick, and many new players will wonder after a while: "is that even allowed???". I think all the train related stuff (short descriptions with links) should be collected to a single page so players will know ...

Archetype - One assembler surrounded by combinators.

It's a nanobase

What do splitters consider when balancing: whole stacks or total single items?

There is no warning if you overwrite the same game file (the same seed), which is valid action. Nobody knows have you mistyped or not.

Because someone else would come and complain that they overwrote rescued.zip and spent 300h on this save and now 10k spm megabase is goneeeee. Halp please!!11

No. If accident overwrite is 0.1%, so accident double overwrite is 0.0001%. You can ignore such numbers. Nevertheless, making few backup ...

In such moment i feel like: "why the hell devs cannot add two lines of the code, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

I want to learn more about this noise:

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 loop is not er ...

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.

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 up" fuel so ...

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

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.

Good. How about light and smooth shadows?

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 ...
