In what sense does down-binning incur a resource loss other than the opportunity cost of using the quality modules in the first place? Down-binning would be 1 to 1 but reduces quality. Recycling is on average 4 to 1 , so it does incur a massive resource loss, but it potentially gives another chance ...

Definitely not per surface iirc, as that would be useless pre-2.0. But neither of those two seems to be updated and I can't find another that does the same. And you are probably right, since two distinct roboport networks can have overlapping construction zones. I've never tested whether the base ...

Do we even need circuit control there?

It's not like the game will have a million spaceships. It would be enough to have a building that can be configured to send items to a specific hub, selectable from a dropdown menu listing the names of ...

...


Yeah this was discussed in other topic with more serious suggestion, for the same reason no-one hardly build anything relying on train IDs i think this is a bad idea.

Any destroyed platform losing ID and no possbility to manually input it, or risk having it being non-unique, breaking ...

TL;DR
Add an entity that can broadcast or receive circuit network signals in a specific channel, such that the channel itself can be set using the circuit network.

What?
I suggest an entity or pair of entities that can broadcast or receive signals without wires, including between surfaces, in ...

TL;DR
Allow a circuit signal to force rocket to launch to a specific platform, based on that platform's surface ID, and allow reading surface ID's to the circuit network.

What?
When the player connects a Rocket Silo to the circuit network, provide an option (unchecked by default) called ...

Sadly I can't remember the names of those mods and I wasn't able to find anything when searching either "construction" or "ghost" though... so maybe they haven't updated.

And space platforms can do it. So it can't be a impossible problem anymore. Even just outputing the max 600 items the alert shows would be sufficient for most applications.


It was surely possible even in 1.1 because several mods did this very thing. (I haven't checked but I hope at least one of ...

My issues with rocket silo logistics could be solved with a few simple changes.
Have a circuit controlled launch option so I can launch whenever I want.


And how would you know to which rocket you send things ?


One way would be to give each space platform a unique (nonzero) ID, and when ...

Wait, constant combinators can do that now? Although I do really like the general idea, I hope it can be separated from the constant combinator entity, because the suggested behavior is... not constant. Also, it would make any significant tech or resource gating impossible, since it would be ...

Firstly, I think an option to read the free and/or total capacity of containers is much more urgently needed if/when the devs allow Quality to change the capacity of chests. Even though stacks-per-chest is constant in the sense that it can't change over time on its own, it won't be constant over the ...

I'm not sure this would fully solve the automation issues mentioned in several other threads, because we would also need a way to read one (and only one) space platform's signals and/or logistic requests, and a way to automatically trigger a rocket launch to a specific platform, and ideally a way to ...

I was able to solve this by enabling only one train at a time among all trains waiting at "Depot" stations, using a combinator clock that sends signals to each station to trigger each train's wait condition one by one. But I agree that this is janky and some sort of automatic reservation system ...

Respectfully, I think something that everyone should try to be clear about to avoid talking past one another is this: Are we talking about
(1) an elevated power pole which can be unlocked before or very soon after reaching Fulgora
or
(2) an elevated power pole which can be unlocked only after ...

I agree that this would be an awesome feature, but only if it is a different structure or there is a way to disable cross-surface radar sharing (as in, only let a planetside radar get signals from orbit if you toggle it to point upward, somehow?). If every radar in orbit automatically beams signals ...

TL;DR
Let the player rechart the map info they already know without using an achievement-disabling console command.


What?
I would like an in-game option or non-cheating command to rechart the map, or specifically the areas and objects that the player should already have knowledge of. I know ...

In this screenshot, I have just attempted to move a (valid) piece of my space station a few tiles to the left by using the cut and paste shortcuts and then using the deconstruction planner to clean up unused space platform tiles.

What happened ...

Wait, can you not place power poles on space platforms by default? I recall being able to do that in a creative test world with the Editor Extensions mod...
If this isn't doable in vanilla, I think circuit wires on platforms needs to be addressed ASAP.

(Also I agree that even if it is possible in ...

I strongly second this suggestion! It would be one less set of numbers to have to hard-code everywhere (and also be convenient for mods which might change chest sizes, as you said). I will note that with the selector combinator that can output stack sizes (I'm actually not sure if it is DLC ...

A small issue with the "down-binner caps things to its own quality" idea is that a Legendary down-binner does nothing (or whatever the highest quality ends up being given any mods you are playing with).

And speaking of mods, whether it's this idea, the settings idea or something else, it would be ...
