I never mine any resources by hand, apart from a few trees to power the first few miners and furnaces.

So a toggle which turns off hand mining (apart from trees) would be useful in map generation: something like "Allow hand mining".

Definitely this but not as map gen but rather as a game option. There comes a point where there simply is never a reason to manual mining non-buildings. Usually like 20 minutes into the game if you don't count trees in your way, and then that gets to be a non-issue after shotguns.

With this topic it's the same as with viewtopic.php?f=182&t=5748&p=162742#p162742 :

Kovarex moved this topic to Suggestions and made it sticky, and I moved it to "ready for implementation" subboard cause I thought it would be a good idea to put all the topics into, that are marked as sticky.

But now I want to clear that subboard, cause it has obviously no relevance for the devs and so I'll move this one to "confirmed bugs" (even knowing that this is not a bug, but wanted to be implemented). Perhaps it's already implemented. In any case it's in my opinion not useful to keep it into Suggestions, cause there it is out of view of the devs. :)

Hope I didn't make things more worse. ;)
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

If I start mining a building, and then a robot flies under the cursor, I don't want to mine the robot.
This!

When this in implemented, PLEASE add robots to the not-buildings list.

Code: Select all

if (deconstruct button/ mine button held)
    if (direction(s) key also held)
        if (resource type == ore)
            do nothing
        else
            deconstruct
        end if
    else
        deconstruct / mine
    end if
end if

It may be working as intended, but
what was intended is not working.

OMG! could you please do this when picking up trains!
with the change of mining speed for track I keep picking up the train and the rail under it.
If you could stop the collection of track in the same way as you have stopped the collection of resources it would be amazing!

Thanks
