Re: How to see beneath construction/logistic bot module icon?

As a workaround, you can use recipe icons in the map view to quickly check what you are looking at.

Re: Deconstruct landfill

With the (apparent) introduction of flying enemies, it probably will be a feature in the expansion. Why? I was under the impression that the main problem with creation of water (landfill or not) is that it's a cheap indestructible defense mechanism. If enemies don't care, it should no longer apply.

Re: Furnace internal buffer

Also another question which I’ve tried working out but can’t. How many green circuit assemblers do I need to fill a yellow belt? Thanks All the needed information is in the tooltips, let's find out: - the recipe says it takes 0.5 seconds, meaning 2 crafts per second with crafting speed 1 - multiply...

Can't reproduce, are you sure your upstream dns is working correctly? Try a different server.

Weird to find out about this mechanic from a random thread. Doesn't seem to be documented anywhere else.

Re: 1.1.53 tutorial bug

Well, you can misinterpret the instructions in the same way on earlier steps too, like build your own boiler or steam engine and do things with those. Perhaps, adding an arrow pointing exactly at the machines the instructions are talking about would reduce ambiguity.

Re: Find Game finish time on old saved game

In the production statistics, you should be able to see how long ago was the first consumption of a satellite (assuming you launched the first rocket with a satellite), or how long ago you started producing rocket parts. Substracting this from the total playtime should give you an aprroximate answer...

[1.1.53] Ammo that can't be used with handheld guns can still be inserted into character ammo slots

Artillery and cannon shells can be inserted into character ammo slots (with empty gun slot). After this, gun slot tooltip changes to just "Gun" with no options.

Re: Rail Combinator Signals

You could use the train pathfinder to check whether there is a continuous rail. Add a dummy branch on one side with a locomotive behind a force-closed signal. On the other end, add a station with a unique name, and add the station to the locomotive's schedule. Enable "read train count" on ...

Re: [1.1.49] Rocket Parts without silo researched

The recipe for rocket parts should be shown in tech screen as it is, as that should give the relevant info, regardless of the possible fakeness of existence of that recipe in the first place - there is no way to select that recipe in any building, rocket silo has it predefined every time, and thus ...

Re: I need to make cogs... (How should I?)

Making gears reduces the amount of items (2 plates to 1 gear), so making them early reduces the amount of belts you need. True, but these days it's really not important. This was a huge issue when military science needed many turrets and chemical science mining drills or assembly machines. The amou...

Re: I need to make cogs... (How should I?)

Making gears reduces the amount of items (2 plates to 1 gear), so making them early reduces the amount of belts you need. Copper cables are the opposite, because making them increases amount of items (1 plate to 2 cables), so making them close to consumers is the better choice.

Re: [Pard] [1.1.48] "Stack Transfers" tutorial triggered very late in game

I wonder if it'd be best to trigger this the first time you transfer any inventory item to another inventory, regardless of the method? But that happens immediately at the start of the game, which is way too early. I suggest triggering it when the player moves two stacks of the same item one after ...

Both parts of the bug still exist in 1.1.44. To reproduce, be stationary during worm's wind-up animation, then run fast or teleport while the worm is shooting.

Re: So, this happened.

The crash log says you just ran out of memory. Given how many chunks you were generating, not really that surprising.

Code: Select all

Unhandled exception: memory allocation of 250000 bytes failed! RAM: 15876/16206, Page: 29503/29506
