+1 for this - as others have said, the bar could be orange until it is complete, at which point it would turn green.

On that note, maybe quality train locomotives could accelerate a bit faster and have a slightly higher top speed, too.


This is already provided by quality fuel. But I think braking force would be more useful anyway. It’s actually quite important for throughput.


given the fact that quality ...

+1 to this - optimizing what belts / pipes i use on aquilo is part of the fun for me, but only because I learned about differing heat values for belt tiers and undergrounds from a reddit post. If it were visible in game somehow, it would be very helpful.

I like this idea, or at the very least I like the idea of trains being better.

Maybe there is a reason that train wagons aren't affected meaningfully by quality, but maybe not? steel / logistics chests were originally unaffected by quality and were patched to be bigger with quality AFAIK

On that ...

You'd need a way to get around... normal foundation doesn't work, but thrusters on mech armor would... jumping spiders exist.


maybe an equipment for the spidertron that allows it to jump, though i'm not sure how feasible that would be. I think in ...

+1 agree that it could be yellow or maybe orange while the condition is partially met

you can plant trees in deserts. it's just a few specific tiles (the barren sand ones) that are unplantable.

My nauvis starting area was a huge desert at the start and is now a massive forest
