Whats that in the last gif in those armor slots?

It's the Portable Fusion Reactor and yes, it was inspired by BTTF. As was the 1.21 gigajoules from nuclear fuel.

We need a mod that replaces the car with a DeLorian .
And of course, the Flux capacitor must be an ingredient.

ROFL!!!

Interactive tags seems like a great thing for Mods to further evolve.

I'm sure map ping art is not final, right?

And construction bots building 3 inserters? Huuuuummm, that actually changes a lot, and kinda makes sense. But what would happen if their cargo capacity is 20 and you place like 20 inserters in a 40x40 square?

The tags seem very useful, especially the map ping. I'll finally be able to precisely point out which block of instant noodles I'm complaining about to my friend.

Also, petition to bring back the pickaxe.

"After making this system it has made me think if I could apply some variant of it to robots building things, so a robot could theoretically grab 3 inserters and build all 3 quickly in series."

I always asked my selnfe: "Why are able Robots to carry multiple items/buildings but unable to build those stubid inserters"
Big thumbs up for this!

The real question is when experimental 0.17 is released?

When it's ready, somewhere in the future. No date announced.

So now that there is a space above the armor slot, where the pickax used to be, will the battery charge display be moved there?

Or even better, both shield and battery could be displayed there as little gauges

Can you also please add the ability to set recipes on factories from blueprints before research is done. This has been requested many times and it is a great quality of life feature that makes complete sense to have.

what about the spidertron tease? Are we getting this sometime? It seemed like the mechanics were done at least but not the graphics.

What about using rockets or similar to establish remote bases easier then manually lugging everything with you, going to train, getting items, having personal robots put them out, going back to train for more items etc. It was suggested in a Friday facts a while back about making establishing other bases, mining outposts etc easier by launching a building rocket or something along those lines.

Thanks

Is the projected date coming closer or is it currently pushed back faster than the clock turns?

They have not announced when they will announce the game. And before you ask, they have also not announced when they will announce that announcement.

And there hasn't been given any clue on when the announcement of the date of the announcement was expected to be announced either.

I'm gonna echo the same sentiment as a lot of others. Along with the ability to drop off multiple items on one trip, can construction bots be given the ability to deconstruct multiple items in a single trip? For personal roboports, this would be a pretty substantial boon IMO.

Yes please!

It would really make planing and placing a MALL easier.

Not to brag about, but almost one year ago I suggested the feature "information at cursor"
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=54931
Maybe Koub at that time only thought about the feature problems for himself, but as Kovarax said - "I started to realize that different people have different expectations, and their brains are wired differently".

So this is in fact a lesson to learn for us all. I agree with giving the user the option to configure the way they want information to be seen, let them play with it, they may even suggest new ones.

Yup, and I haven't changed my mind since then ^^. Bear in mind, however, that I'm not a dev, just a player who gives his opinion. I have absolutely no more (and no less) influence on the future development of the game than anyone else .

what were the options again?

I think either... point to something instantly gets information on the panel at the right and/or after 2/3 seconds, a popup appears at the cursor with the information.

Any indication on when you will not make any announcements about the date?
