Just wondering is it possible to build a landing pad in orbit, seems kind of frustrating trying to move material into orbit only to have it be scattered randomly everywhere.

Yes, that is recommended. I always take one with me whenever I go somewhere new.

Hmm ok I wasn't sure if it was intended or not, but I cannot seem to build either the cargo rocket silo or the cargo launch pad on any of the space tiles (Though i can build the satellite silo) atm only have the required mods installed.

Meteor defence is planned, I was actually working on it tonight but I don't like how the graphics are going.
good!but it falls a lot right on the base is not nice ..
and idea more resources not only iron and copper, but cobalt, aluminum and iridium from you.
Dynamic resources would be nice, it's just difficult to stop organic resources from ending up in there too.
who is item defence in astroids? name?

Did you consider making the planets multiple surfaces?
And those graphics look awesome. Did angel do them for you or is it your work?
Oh give him more credit, Earendal is way more talented with graphics than me and also has more patience doing so
Both of your mods' graphics are equally incredible. If I may ask, what programs do you use to model sprites?

I did not play much your super mod, honestly. I'm waiting for even more content (different aliens/challenges per world).
But something that was not readily apparent to me, is how much hours you must put into the game to start feeling you are playing a really different factorio game? That's what I'm a bit concerned with. I think that even before seeing the stellar map, you have to build a very pricey satellite for example?
Would it not be better to provide a rudimentary mean to planet hop rapidly? I know that's a difficult decision that could alter your design though.

That was a bug, i'm fixing it now.

Blender, sculptris, photoshop. It's not all 3d.

Rockets are available after blue science and are a bit cheaper, but you get meteors thrown at you from the start and you can build meteor defence relatively early if you think it's worth it. Even so, it is mostly late game focused.

Are you happy to see me or is it just a landing pad in your pocket?

This is an amazing idea. Can you possibly make it an option to turn off the meteor showers?

You can adjust the frequency so it only happens on average once every 48 hours.

For Factorissimo2, I already told you, you have too many tiles installed.
Update the mod and and replace the loader to insert automatically.

I did look to adjust. Can you direct me to the correct place? An "off" option would still be great.

I think you forget the to set 'The Space Exploration Graphics ' in the dependencie for:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/space-exp ... /downloads
I was thinking, the zip is broken from 200 MB to under 200kb *or a new magic black-hole-quantum-compression* but then I saw you had the same idea: outsource the media files

There was something ...

The mod clearly states "Not recommended to play with non-dependency mods while in experimental phase."
I'm still adding things and changing the tech tree.
ScienceCostTweaker will probably be incompatible for a while.

Yeah I did forget but fixed it shortly afterwards.
black-hole-quantum-compression sounds awesome though.

Just started on my space station, got a few problem with other mods, probably shouldn't use that many with this one, but nothing i couldn't fix.
One question though: do teleport mod break the mod competently, as in crash, unplayable, or are they "only" a major break in the balance ?

The last one.
It's trivial to fix if you want to take balance into your own hands.

Hello Earendel!
I am watching this mod closely and the work is just awesome! You even encouradged me to try out blender to start and work on some graphics.
I noticed there is incompatibility with omnimatter. Is it temporary, or definitive?
I understand it might not be in full compliance with mods ideas, but I feel its a loss not being able to play that awesome mod together with yours.
Thank you very much for your kind reply and hard work
Regards, Delanii
