If it would read the mods folder and create a zip of all the mods that would be useful.

Server was acting up. Hopefully is stable again!

All three friends should run speedtest and whoever has highest upload should host. Disable peer-to-peer.

Everyone would sit in lobby and all start at once from the same save.

@Peppe Do you mind if I convert to left handed double headed train system?

You can do it with smart chests and circuit conditions. Belt -> Smart Inserter A1 -> Smart Chest -> Smart Inserter A2 -> Belt Loop Belt -> Smart Inserter B1 -> Smart Chest -> Smart Inserter B2 -> Assembler Wire the smart inserters and smart chests together with red or green wire, both on the same ne...

Images should be optimized even if you have unlimited bandwidth. It makes a difference in page load times.

I uploaded that 25mb gif to imgur and it turned it into a very small gifv. You should look into using a CDN for images and also run an optimizer on them to reduce size.

Add a solar efficiency option to the map gen settings That way people can choose to have solar panels just as efficient as they'd like them to be. It seems like the best solution to please everyone and is another way of changing the game difficulty. I like this idea, but I'd rephrase it as "we...

There was a good post about the tank on reddit today.

Solar is unbalanced, but maybe it's OK? It makes the game more approachable. It's frustrating to run out of power due to a coal shortage and have the base shut down. Solar lets players not worry so much about power while concentrating on launching a rocket. Even with reliable power it's still challe...

May as well not add them if they need lubricant.

Electricity is reasonable.

Ore fields must not be infinite like oil wells, because it is desirable to mine them out completely and expand the base over them.

One thing to consider is that if you don't start research immediately then there will be a backlog of science packs. I run 12 labs off 3 red/3 green/4blue.

To expand on DaveMcW's post, something ugly like this. The return routes could be joined by a splitter so it doesn't all go on one side of the belt.

They require gears and electronic circuits, so I figured since those inputs are already there, why not?

A basic railroad supply depot. 15 engine units are cached for rapid assembly of another locomotive.

I like the circuit/plastic joiner. I may steal that.
