For anyone wondering about quality seeds growing into quality fruit see 124678. Every variation of it I can think of is on there.

Energy consumption also affects the pollution produced by a machine. The formula is
total pollution = pollution multiplier * energy usage multiplier * base pollution

Hope this helps.

Because underground connections are only blocked by lava tiles and empty space tiles. Oil ocean does not block underground connections.

Makes sense. Thanks for humoring my curiosity.

If this option isn't feasible for some reason, I'd like to be able to read the cargo landing pad inventory at the same time as setting its requests, so I can add this to the request, so all wanted items can be requested, no matter if some are in the landing pad or in some chest. Would achieve ...

Increasing internal buffer would also be helpful.

Two words: Belt storage. That terrible, brainless cheese strategy still exists, and people still use it, even after the recipe rebalance that was done before release.
For those unaware, allow me to explain. Promethium science packs are crafted from promethium asteroid chunks, quantum processors ...

This is not what my bug report was about. Note that foundation is used but an underground is not made.

To remove the "probably:" assemblers are required to craft engines which are required for chemical science which is required to beat the game. Now the question is what is the minimal number of crafts done in an assembler?

Note: foundation must be unlocked for this to occur. (It occurs when it isn't unlocked too but then it isn't a bug)

Attempted to force build dragging a ghost of a belt over lava with a building right after the lava. (It occurs to me as I am writing this that I only tested this with pipes and green ...

I hope I didn't miss any other 'errors'!

The underground going the wrong way on the left of the image also isn't going/coming from anywhere.

What I don't like about how quality is implemented is that it feels like a gambling machine, I avoid mobile games for that reason alone.

It has some aspects that feel like that (armor for example). However, for most cases, you are "gambling" thousands of times at least (likely far more). In this ...

Two tracks?


two belts? stop this strawman argument. I had already addressed in my first comment that you can run multiple trains. But you can't request an infinite amount of them.

Space age upgraded the belt capacity by 5.33x and pipe capacity infinitely but trains stayed the same, apart ...

I am not referring to one train going back an forth but rather a (ideally) continuous line of trains. What you are proposing is like having an unsaturated belt.


That is actually one way travel speed. if one train was going back AND forth, it would equal to just 1.33 green belt. without ...

Just noting for anyone who isn't aware:
Trains are a couple orders of magnitude higher throughput over belts when running at max speed (theoretically); the bottleneck that everyone is talking about is loading/unloading (specifically trains getting into and out of the station).

These all seem like interesting ideas for a mod. I am unsure why they should be in the base game even as an optional feature.

starting in a desert, or starting on a map where oil is miles away.

It matters only in deathworld games, which are not for novice players.

As someone that started in a giant desert on my first playthough, the biters launched way larger attacks than a new player (or in my case a few new ...

I would think that simply making locomotives and cargo wagons be boosted by quality might be enough.
