Re: Temporary Stations = Manual train mode
I couldn't find a single person who wouldn't prefer that the temporary train station would put train in manual mode once reached! Developers please change this! In my eyes as moderator I donāt see that there isnāt āa single personā. There are quite mixed opinions about this topic and many dozens of...

Re: Friday Facts #334 - New poison cloud animation, flying robot dying effect
Can we work on making the alien / survival dynamic a little more... deep? Like, I'd like to see other forms of life on the planet. Birds? Mammals? What do the bugs eat? DO they eat? Maybe there's some kind of earthquake activity, or volcanos, or I don't know, acid storms. I guess I'm just sad that ...

Re: Make visible mark on boxes if the volume limit is set
Excellent idea (like anything including more bottleneck-modāish features in Vanilla) both the proposed tooltip and the visual representation in alt mode. What about a bluish āitem barā filling up (analog to the depleting health bar), if you set a stack limit the bar is drawn with a vertical pointer...

Re: Belt math, using lower tier belts to effect.
48 = 8 * 6 (8 items on each of 6 belt tiles). The right most column shows how many items are on a belt (output belts), the bottom row shows which items are being consumed (input belts). The other number show how much of an input belt is on an output belt. ------- I propose 3 attributes for categoriz...

Re: Belt math, using lower tier belts to effect.
This is why I like using different items on the input belts, it allows you to see that no items from the bottom belt are consumed:

Re: Belt math, using lower tier belts to effect.
Not with my balancer above, uneven input OR uneven output have stable ratios. Itās only uneven inputs AND outputs that the ratios are different. Does that mean, that one could chain two of those together and have stable ratios in all cases? Unfortunately not. The way splitters work chaining two may...
