Wires being drawn in front of the pole even though the wires should be behind? I believe that this problem will be even more visible with elevated rails.Pop quiz: can you spot the shadow problem I want to fix next?
Especially configuring modules. Even Space Exploration's NavSat mode can't do those remotely (despite letting you set recipes remotely) without additional mod support. But you can cut a remote machine, paste it near you, insert the desired modules, and cut/paste it back.kajacx wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 12:42 pmYes finally the devs are addressing this. Please don't stop with the wire connections. You cannot change assembler recipe from map, but you can place one down, set the recipe and then copy-paste it. It's really dumb.You can not red wire something from the map, but you could take a blueprint of it, wire it locally, then place the blueprint back over the top, and the wires would magically change. Thats just frustrating and annoying.
Also changing spliter options or combinator logic or anything else that can be copy-pasted should be doable from the map via a gui.
If you want to argue that it's "unrealistic", then how is pasting it with a blueprint realistic? If you want realism, then pasting a blueprint with a different recipe should mark the entity and the recipe should be changed only after a construction bot flies to it change the recipe.
But either way, please unify this so that you don't need to place an entiry near you, set what you want and then copy it elsewhere, it's just horrible to do.
If not, you can use an alternative that you don't expect to see on a belt. I found the red square ugly, so I've been using spidertrons instead.Upserter wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 8:42 pm A trick I learned only recently is to set the output filter on a splitter to the deconstruction planner. This is useful when you only have one side of the splitter output connected up, because it prevents items from passing through to the end of the belt on the unconnected side where they would just sit unused. Any item will work for this, but I like to use the deconstruction planner because it would never clash with an actual production item, and it leaves a nice big red square on the splitter, which to me reads symbolically as “no exit”.
With the deconstruction planner becoming an abstract item, will it still be possible to use it in this way?
Even if we lost the option to make these blueprints with the UI, the old blueprints would probably still work, and we could copy the setting from them. I have an old blueprint that used the Ctrl+X tool as the filter in one place, which we can't do anymore, but I think used to be easy to do. The blueprint still works, and I can copy settings from that splitter onto other splitters.

Shadow stacking. Where all the wires connect, the shadow is extra dark. That doesn't happen in real life.Pop quiz: can you spot the shadow problem I want to fix next?
This would break my build that detects night time when belt immunity equipment fails.KoblerMan wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 5:46 pm I want the belt immunity equipment to be an "abstract item" that just appears as a button toggle when you put on power armor. I've been annoyed since its introduction that it's the only item other than portable solar panels that takes up a 1x1 slot in a grid. Also it's the kind of thing that would be nice to toggle in certain situations, like the exoskeletons.
I don't really care about the build. I just think it's funny that there is a use for everything.
Oh no! I hadn’t noticed, but you’re right. That’ll be a fun side quest.
This is the one! And a few people have noticed other issues that could use a little bit of attention as well.

2. The pistol is craftable, despite being completely useless as you already start with one and there's no use for ever having more than one, so it just clutters the menu
Just hand craft? You can also pick an assembler up or mark it for deconstruction in the middle of a craft to cancel it and get the materials back.
3. Crafting a "single item" is an annoying and error prone process. If I want to make a single set of body armour, I need to make sure I either put in the exact amount of steel, or remove all steel immediately after it starts producing. Otherwise, it will automatically make extra copies of the armour that I don't want.
Quality/recycling again. Also having a back up to help get your body back if you die. Also it's pretty common for people to have multiple power armors with specialized load outs even in the current version. I personally tend to have combat armor in either or both pilot and infantry load outs, running armor, and construction armor.
There's no point making extra and they just waste resources.
How about dynamic shadows direction which depends on the current daytime?
This seems like the most potentially problematic thing in these changes. You run two seperate ciruit networks close by each other, remove one powerpole, the wires reroute and instant signal contamination.BlackKnight wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 12:51 am Wire auto-routing: My only concern is if red/green wires are auto-rerouted like copper cables do when (re)-placing power poles, this could end up being a big headache after meticulously wiring a setup. So I trust there is some exclusion for this scenario.
