Re: Bots: automatical side job, press button due to fps/ups (maybe)


There are many mods who do exactly what i will write here so i don't get why they are not in the main game by default.

What you described is just a tonload of options never needed by new players.


As we have alt and all the other buttons, i suggest a new one. This new one essentially tells the ...

Re: Belt Imunity rework if not redone

All in all you ask for couple of new items not to change game mechanic or introduce a new one. You suggestion better fits to mod request. Plus, mod's page will accumulate usage statistics clearly showing if the feature is demanded by players or not.

Re: Reached id limit for quality


We have no interest in allowing more than 255 qualities. Given that items have quality, if the variable holding quality of items would be 2 bytes that already messes up alignment of all inventories and would increase memory from 24 bytes per item stack to 32 bytes per item stack. So you will move ...

Well, the thing is, you can't really rely on copy and paste till you have a robot work force.

Why? Manual copypaste is effort-intensive yet some players find this a relaxing meditative practice not a burden.

Re: Red vs Yellow Ammo in edge case Deathworld scenarios.

It is the base biters that are replenished for free that eat up all of the ammo, because they spawn so quickly and without absorbing any pollution at all.

Every free biter = wasted ammo. Some is unavoidable ofc. Some.

I believe this Post is referring to the game's internal "Ctrl-C" / "Ctrl-V" copy/paste mechanism which uses "Temporary Blueprints" that are held in the mouse cursor; not to the practice of Importing-Exporting from the Game process itself.

Still your idea maybe refigured into a tab with single read-only BP slot and a "import from clipboard" button next to that slot.
