With only three colors nearly all types of overlapping can be set up. Why not make it 4 and have a fool-proof guarantee that every possibility is covered? (there is even a theorem about it.) I'm sorry, it may sound like a small detail, but I can't understand where did the 3 come from. It is not the...

If you have the item you want to request (requester chest or character slots) you can drop the item into a request slot. This will not remove the item from your hand but will put it to the request list. (just like Minecraft automatic workbenches)

Copy an assembler input into requester chest. Requester chest would add to request 10 (20? triple the input?) of each item the machine needs.

Poison on top of distractors = instadeath to small + medium biters. No questions asked. Just be far enough so you don't aggro anyone. Slow = kiting/withdrawing. A life savior if you aggro a big biter. Can replace armor and is much more reliable than any armor but power armor 2 (1?) Crowds of defende...

When you unlock them, you can have only 1 at a time, and it can do nothing. A bit later you can have unlimited distractors.

Make oil splits outside the walls, plop Fire Archer Towers on the walls and go medieval when the dark army arrives.

You little...

This is the time you tell us it takes half a night to build (please don't)

Try to feed multiple shooting turrets from one belt and you'll know what's wrong with this approach

What about recursive deconstruction as well? Robots construct the front end of rails while deconstructing the back end! (along with roboports and chests on their way). Most efficient way to transport!

A late game technology to tidally lock the planet to the star.

The notion of Gun Turrets < Laser Turrets < (Some other future turret?) < Defense bots This is a bad design, isn't it? Once you've unlocked LT you don't need GT anymore. If all units stay useful until the end of the game, you will have more decisions about army/turret composition, as opposed to sim...
