So one feature that would be very very nice is the ability to have a car locator, or a panic button. I lose my car so much in my different factories or outposts or just plain forget where I parked. So i end up running around a lot or just building a new one.

car dispenser factories with requester chests for just the car.
I used to create so many cars that they were disposable items.

you were so good at picking up/dropping your car to repair it while hitting biter bases, that I was surprised you never just picked up the car when you jumped out to keep yourself from losing it :} but it was funny every time "where's my car?" all the time

A dot on the map would help, because it's a pity to lose a car fully loaded with stuff to expand.

The same with trains: Uh, there comes a train, better go away!

Even in video games man cannot remember where they parked their car.

+1.

More map icons, filters, etc. map could use a bit of a total overhaul.

I know a fried which forgot it. He searched 2 hours. Then he called the police, because he thought it was stolen.

They came and asked him, if this cars straight across the street of the house-entry doesn't look like his...

For his excuse I can say, that this special parking space was never free. He was accustomed to park 2-3 minutes walk away. Till that day...

But that brings me to some strange ideas:
- A police-biter (super dark-blue) comes along and looks, if there is any wrong parking car on his planet. Then he waits for 5 minutes, if the driver eventually comes back. If not he eats the car.
- Small biters like the warm motor and when bored they come along and sit on the motor... uhm... and because it takes too much space they remove the motor.
- You let the car alone in the dark, while you go alien-egg-shopping. Nice. Other creatures come and steal the stuff out of your car.

Lol, i actually read that as "fried witch". That would be weird

This post used to make sense
xD

Yes. This would be a great feature. And yes, this would be useful if the trains also had a locator feature. Hopefully, they do this.

Wow, what a story sslik. Hahahah. I am pretty bad at spotting things, as my subs on youtube can tell you. But damn, this does take the cake!

Dude! Where's my train?

NOOOO!!! I'm AGAINST IT!!!!

I don't want Mal to stop saying "Dude, where's my car?"!!!!!!!!!
You're taking the fun out of the videos he makes!!!

Maybe... a compromise.
Put the button to find the car... BUT give Malkasphia a version wich doesn't have that feature

Love your vids, Mal!!!
I'm at work right now... Can't wait till 11pm to get out and watch your new episode!!

And the train... There should be a research option for putting "Crossing Lights", taht you can put next to the rail (as in it were an station) and when a train is (lets say) 30 track squares down, and coming to the crosslight, it shoud start making noise or a green and red light... so you know the train is comming!

Hope somebody likes my ideas!

I SO wanted to see Mal or his car get wrecked by the train at least once maybe on his next LP he's just started!

Have you seen inzania's youtube videos??? There's one time he is in his car, and the train passes like 1 mm (0.04 inch) from him.... I though he was going to die, he thougt that too, and then he laughs sooooo hard i almost piss my pants xD
If you liked Mal's Videos, you'll like Inzania's as well
