Have you ever watched insects? Most of them are always clean. They clean themselves carefully to avoid health problems. In my opinion it is very natural that biters keep themselves clean too.
That must be why they hate pollution :{}

Re: Display the max distance that an underground belts and pipes can go before placement

Seems like a toggle that could be put in the box next to the quickbar, along with the exoskeleton and personal roboport toggles. Definitely should be an option for people who want it (probably by default, I say as someone who wants it) with an option to turn it off. I bet seeing a max length preview...

Re: The new (enemy) graphics look sterile

My main reaction was that spitters are finally as cute as biters, which rules. Biters were sort of a lateral move, since I liked their old saucer eyes and the skinny legs are a little off-putting, but I like that we can see their shrimpy faces now.

Oh right, this is kind of a fringe case but barrels are the easiest way to start coal liquefaction. Sometimes you just want to move some fluid around without having to invest much in infrastructure. Mostly as a newbie, sure, but there's value in letting newbies wade deeper at their own pace. e: If s...

Re: Pipes are too cheap, make barrels an attractive alternative!

I think barrels fill an important niche even if they're strictly worse than tanker cars and pipes numerically: they allow you to move and use fluids long distances without having to invest in infrastructure along the whole distance. In particular, they allow you to transport fluids in the car. This ...

Re: A Deeper Look into Combat Robotics

I think a couple relatively minor changes would put the Personal Laser Defenses in a much better place. Treat lasers as fire type for purposes of damage resistance Split the dps into a lot more, smaller shots. Maybe 4x? It doesn't really make sense for a personal defense system to be a top-tier offe...
