Sorry I'm not the best at the technical, what do you mean by "up days"? Do you mean update? Is there another patch out? I haven't tried loading the game yet since the last crash, I'm going to clear a couple steam games off my PC because I don't want to wait for Defrag before I test. (assum...

Yeah I guess my Processor is 64-bit, but my OS is the 32 Bit version (otherwise the Operating System would say "x64 Edition" according to the windows site: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit ---- No idea why, I just bought it from a retail store in 2005 and t...

Thanks for the advice, I'm a bit of a computer noob (I was tempted to replace "Hum" with "Machine Spirit") 1) What do you mean by this? 2) Ok I downloaded and installed this; My XP is 32-bit, I wouldn't know how to switch to 64, or if I need to, since the driver you linked is 64-...

Howdy, so here's the deal with this. I didn't seem to have this problem with the first game I played; got up to producing oil and had a pretty complex base, tons of solar panels and electric furnaces and what-have-you. All the Settings for map Gen were at default, unlimited area as well. Decided to ...

That's not good; what happens if a chest is 4 away from full and an inserter picks up five items and attempts to insert them? Is the 5th item destroyed, is the inserter unable to insert the full 5, or are 4 inserted and the 5th item left in the inserter's hand?

Very good, I'll be bookmarking that.

Hopefully it's built to be easily expanded/modified for patches and updates

The idea of a building a Bacta Tank is kind of appealing tho tbh

Might be internet problems on your end; check your firewalls.

I like playing on Peaceful because I'm not very good at good base defense. Maybe once I get more confident at being able to lay down mental templates of production lines instead of having to think for 30 minutes about it I'll try playing non-peaceful.

Good luck

Hmm I guess you're right about that. Quite a few trees get a respectable size in just a year but I don't know how they compare to these alien trees; there's these really fast growing willow trees people plant in rows for privacy that reach 6-12 feet in a year, and 25-40 feet in 3 years (about 1.8m-3...

I kinda like the way it is handled in SimCity 4, with sorta Underground Filter purely to see your PipeLines and Subways (ooh, imagine Underground Trains) You don't need to go all Gnomoria/Dwarf Fortress with Z-levels (probably wouldn't like that very much). Just another hotkey like Alt which shows m...

I can definitely see a good use for replanting trees. They absorb pollution apparently (not sure how that works), so I guess if you wanted to avoid attracting biters (or at least not towards certain locations) you could create Forested zones to lower the spread.

At least you can separate the Oil Extraction from the Productions facility at the moment, if you're willing to invest the Iron. I'd be more than willing to pay an increased cost for the options. I imagine different liquids might need different kinds of barrels even. Also to make electric pumps you r...

An idea about this, based on real-life extraction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraction_of_petroleum#Secondary_recovery Reduce the flow of a depleted oil patch to 1/10 of it's current amount. However, new technology allows Secondary Oil Extraction; requiring an advanced oil pump and and the need ...

I agree Zourin; we need petroleum and stone to make Asphalt and we can have some good old roads so I don't feel like I'm drunk behind the wheel anymore :<

Well, Crude Oil can become an item, so long as you put it in a barrel. It'd be nice if we could use barrels for other liquids as well, if it doesn't mess with your intentions for liquids too much. Liquid Cars for trains would be fine too though but the barrel system already seems to be in place. Bas...
