Worm in FFF 259

Worm in FFF 279 looks the same but blurry. Were the graphics in this FFF were meant to be highlighted or just the game mechanics?

Re: Friday Facts #279 - Train GUI & Modern Spitter

Hey, would be a nice touch to copy and paste train station conditions. It wouldn't even need extra buttons, I would be happy to be able just hover over a scheduled stop and press ctrl-c then ctrl-v to a blank area to create a copy then I can just change the station, or hover over another existing o...

Re: Friday Facts #279 - Train GUI & Modern Spitter

I like the new train GUI and the spitters look splendid as well. However, is there any change you can improve the colour settings for trains stations and trains? What I think of is a colour pallet which a player can quickly choose a desired colour from (copper, iron, coal... etc.). Additionally, it...

Re: Friday Facts #279 - Train GUI & Modern Spitter

Why can't train fuel be in the same tab? It's annoying having to switch tabs just for such a small use case. Fuel also needs to display an inventory. Though I could see workflows where you only want to view the amount of fuel, or refuel from your action bar. It just needs to show fuel: wood, (wood ...

Re: Friday Facts #278 - The new quickbar

I've really wanted to have different load outs available depending on what I'm wanting to do. The 0.17 quick bar system goes a long way towards that, along with the benefits of them being shortcuts which can be used to place ghosts. Thank you! Be great if we had something similar for logistic reques...

Re: 6 Red belt balancer

This is an interesting idea, hadn't thought of it before.
You can put an output priority filter on splitter sides without a belt to avoid a few bits sitting unused.

Here it is with the priority filters and a comparison to a respected 6 to 6 balancer

Re: Friday Facts #273 - Cutscene controller & Localisation plan

In Multiplayer cutscene would be brilliant for a player who wants to see what another player is doing via the map view. I'm new to the game so may have missed something, but at the moment theres a bit of where's waldo when trying to find a fellow player. It'd be so much easier if there was a way to ...

Re: Friday Facts #271 - Fluid optimisations & GUI Style inspector

But the second advantage is even greater, as the fluid systems are now independent and fluid flow doesn't interfere with anything else in the map, their update can be completely parallelized without any worries. So we just did that. From https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/99355-qol-u...

Re: Lazy bot syndrome. Bug or feature?

Just came across this thread today and wanted to add my own opinion. I'm more than happy for bots to fan out behind me when I lay down a big job and leave them behind to do the job while I run ahead distributing the rest. I know how they behave and will go back and collect them. I don't want to lose...

Re: Understanding the Cargo Wagon Filter

So I created a cleanup system: 1. A cargo train can also depart if there hasn't been any activity for some time (ensuring it can leave even though not fully loaded). 2. Another "cleanup" train immediately visits the station after the cargo train leaves. Cleanup train arrival is tracked by...

Great to see someone enjoying the map generation feature.

I hope that 0.17 will be even more satisfying for you and win everyone else over.

Re: Friday Facts #255 - Construction tools

I have a couple of questions about the CTRL+Z functionality: 2. I, too, find the lack of usefulness of the QOL features for the pre-bot period unfortunate. Perhaps it would make sense to add a lower tier of non-flying {burner?} construction bots, as previous posts indicated. I've thought about what...

Re: Friday Facts #254 - No research queue for you

I find the reasons given for pulling the Research Queue feature from the update weak at best.
Implement it, make it an option and have it default off if you deem that best.
Others have underlined why its better to have it available in the game than not.
