Re: [1.0.0] Possible oversight/bug in train repathing/recalculation triggers due to blue chain signal

[...] There may be some issues with that when a signal changes from red to blue and there is still no empty lane inside of a stacker (for example due to early bypass exit that misses the target train stop). There would also be a question how to deal with a signal that changes from "blue" ...

Re: Player Request Confirmation Not Needed

+1 for E to apply. The way I see it, as most consistently used in-game, E should only manipulate windows (open/close) without affecting anything inside them (e.g. you can grab an item from inventory and E to close without it disappearing from cursor). Esc is already widely recognized to have "e...

Re: Unable to build pipes on water but on land

Need more information:
Are you trying to build a regular pump or an offshore pump?
Are you trying to pump water?
Are you playing vanilla 1.0?

Re: Train Stacker weird behavior

This behavior is now marked as a bug fixed for 1.1.0.
(Turns out I was a bit off about the root cause.)

Re: [1.0.0] Possible oversight/bug in train repathing/recalculation triggers due to blue chain signal

First of all, blue chain signal has nothing do to with trains movement, it is purely for visualisation purpose. Only part the trains are interested in are the signals in front of its path and if its able to reserve blocks that are guarded by them. When a braking point approaches a rail signal it wa...

Re: Killing nest are becoming annoying - Strategy to play?

I'm probably a bit late to the party, but I find the tank to be more than enough to get the job done on default settings. As I see it, there are 2 key points to follow to keep the biters from bugging you: Clear your perimeter a good distance beyond your pollution cloud Wall off that perimeter and gu...

Re: Is it possible to change the recipe in an assembly machine with the circuit network?

In vanilla, you will need the second assembler. You can circuit control how much each produces, but you can't change the recipe on the machine itself.

Re: Six legs good, Eight legs bad!

I have a reasonably strong feeling you have little to no experience in psychology or treating mental illness. I would further suggest people suffering from arachnophobia pretty much ignore you. Aha. So your solution would be the first case then? Hmmm. That must be quite difficult, considering that ...

Re: Six legs good, Eight legs bad!

Absurdity? That's the nature of a phobia , an irrational, overpowering fear. You have to see the spider to have the response. Yes, there are spiders all around you, but how many do you actually see in a given day? I can do days, weeks without seeing a spider myself. Dozens. I find it funny how litt...

Re: Six legs good, Eight legs bad!

That's mean. I imagine an arachnophobist literally throwing their smartphone away from them at certain points in the video. Judging from the comments, arachnophobes either find it hilarious, terrifying, or both. The idea is that the hilarity would help defuse the fear. Apparently, jumping spider vi...

Re: [1.0.0] Fluid mixing warning despite containing similar fluids.

Figure out which side claims it has another fluid in the system and go check all of that pipe system. You probably switched a recipe on a chem plant or something and now 2 different fluid systems are contaminating via a common intake.

Re: [1.0.0] Possible oversight/bug in train repathing/recalculation triggers due to blue chain signal

By the way did you reproduce it in singleplayer or is the problem only happening in multiplayer ? Yes, reproduced in singleplayer. Trains do repath in that situation; if the destination exists on multiple stops. If the destination is one stop and there's only one stop in the whole game with that na...

I can see the reasoning, but you'd probably need an exception for waypoint stations at least.

[1.0.0] Possible oversight/bug in train repathing/recalculation triggers due to blue chain signal

Recently I participated in a thread in Gameplay Help that was asking about trains that sometimes waited at the entrance to a stacker despite available empty stacker slots (see that thread for details and the game save). Some monitoring with the debug overlay revealed that if two trains chose the sam...

Re: Train Stacker weird behavior

Thanks, I was able to reproduce the issue and verify that it is in fact caused by stale pathing info that the train never got triggered to recalculate. This seems like it could be a bug or oversight in the coding for the repathing triggers, so I'm going to crosslink to the bugs forum and see what th...
