especially useful if Fulgora is your first planet

Oh ho? What's this? Do we get to choose which planet we start on? Or is it a "choose which planet you expand to first" kind of thing? Very interesting ....

Could have some form of "double click on a spidertron, select all of that color (maybe triple click to select all on the map, not just all in view).

I not only agree with this, but I also hope it doesn't get completely removed.


Add another slider! Something like "dead ends" which is normally 0% (does exactly as this FFF describes) but you can tune it up to 100% and then it intentionally finds paths and breaks them. 10-20% would probably be ...

The actual sounds aren’t the important part of this update - the tools and features using them are. Modders will hopefully have access to these and you’ll be able to tune this to your hearts content.

Sound is an incredible part of making something immersive even if it’s hard to point out exactly ...

How can you exit when train is over water?
Could we deadlock the game by being on a train that runs out of fuel over water, or is it "just" a death sentence?



We also thought about this (remote) possibility, and there will be a way to solve it.

These are the kinds of Friday Facts I love - clear description of problems I've encountered, the issues around it, and then an elegantly simple solution that make everyone say "why wasn't it done that way from the beginning?"

Almost certainly.

Will the Switch version allow you to somehow download blueprints or otherwise access them? I assume you can create your own.

I like it! Almost feels like “dark mode”.

Only issues I’ve noticed are the disabled items (can’t craft) are harder to distinguish - dark red vs dark black is kind of close - maybe faded also like before?

The other thing is setting logistics on a requestor chest is annoying - I keep clicking ...

That has already been severely optimized. The fact it works at all now instead of just locking up the game shows that. Unfortunately that's just a numbers thing; biters moving is slow and will always be slow. There's nothing that can be done about that. Shooting at a massive amount of them ...

TL;DR
Server shouldn't have to "save again" when the first player is joining from a paused game.

What ?
Multiplayer servers save the map when the last player exits and pause the game (by default) - but when the player connects again, the server has to resave the map. Instead, the server should ...

Realistically there are a few options that I can think of:


A "no path" train can have a (debug or hover over) option where it "flows out" on all rails until it can't go any further - basically a paint fill - because it couldn't find a path it has no way of knowing which "path" would work, but ...
