There should be variants of many achievements that require either marathon mode or harder enemies. This gives the player an incentive to try each game mode. Harder than hard : Set hard mode/ marathon and actually increase the difficulty. Still have to launch that rocket though. ;) Duct tape for eve...

Interesting. Perhaps this can be used in a warning system. Will investigate when i can.

I use a resupply train for outpost ammo. The last car is an artillery wagon, which at every outpost delivers a small resupply of shells. 10-20 depending on settings. These are the resupply for a small amount of static artillery points. Usually 2-6 depending on how close to the frontline they are. Au...

What is this "Lunch" you speak of?

A placeable beacon? Something to mark "spawn here!" And you could have several.

One near ammo and admit storage. Or the mall.

I'd use a different additive percentage. That way your not using something like the top speed/acceleration percentages. Something brand new added on would be better i think. A furnace variable. So you can run either an electric furnace heavily beaconed, or a nuclear fuel powered steel furnace. Maybe...

Beat a RSO expensive recipe run. Post a possible general purpose outpost build here soon.

Stuff goes in, science comes out.

I like it! Very big congrats on reaching you goal!

How many bootstrap bases did you go through?

You can do this in game with artillery

At first its a couple of gun turrets loaded with a stack of ammo in support of each other. Then it's a large power pole with a ring of laser turrets. Final solution is walking off a choke point and supplying it by train. With a mix of gun and laser turrets. Mining itself is standard rows and belts, ...

Meanwhile in real life mining companies use quite ridiculously long trains, no grunting involved :) from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_trains, e.g. "BHP Billiton used to run iron ore trains of 336 car length, 44,500 tonnes of iron ore, over 3 km long, six to eight locomotives including...

I've been playing the expensive recipes in.15+

Gotta say that while my iron needs are fairly well served by one 4-lane red bus, the copper kills me around purple and yellow science. I ended up with 8lanes of copper to feed the maw of science.

That's the unlimited research tech you are talking about?

If so, no there is no limit.

But you can only put in two product or speed modules in a mining drill.

I do not believe there is a cap on speed or productivity.

I am curious as to the answer myself.

I think the problem is you gave us a new function (the ability to label via graphic markers) and didn't follow through. So what players seem to be asking for is an expanded functionality of those markers. The ability to select a blue print from the book grid, and have it zip back without ending in i...

I would like a way to assign, or otherwise designate, a bot area via the roboports. Like area 1, area 2, ect.. And have a way to automatically assign a group of bots to it. At work so I don't have any PhotoShop. But id want the areas to overlap too. And be nameable. That would allow something like t...

It would work if not for one crucial thing - without speed upgrades (that you might not have access for quite some time after having construction bots) they will be slow as molases ;) Sadly other mods like Nanobots there is no way to use blueprint efficiently now until at least blue science I think...

The process should be reballanced to make large amount of raw U-238 unusable for power. Right now you can basically use 100% of your U-238 to make U-235 and use it for power. Maybe instead of consuming three of U-238 the enrichment process should produce another U-238 that's depleted for good and i...

Unless someone has a handy graph to show off? Courtesy pichutarius , and OP . Unfortunately, his turret damage graph doesn't show depleted uranium ammo, but I'm pretty sure it would be up around where the tank is. The tank curve really makes me long for vanilla cannon turrets. thank you! And that i...

Not exactly. I usually only have a couple of large ore trains in waiting. With about one train per patch. It varies, but usually doesn't back up.
