Re: Let us dump fluids into corresponding oceans

And by the way, water ice would drown in pure liquid ammonia. For a solution it depends ...

Re: New train station to automise cargo trains

Something like what you are asking for here is already doable with just interrupts. Not sure why such a complicated new entity would be needed.

Re: Move "Coal Synthesis" tech to Directly-Post-First-Rocket-Launch Space-Platform era


Derp, completely forgot about the whole 'rockets need iron' thing. You're right about that. (my thought process had actually been that you just, ship all the stuff needed to build a rocket to Gleba, but uhh, that would be mightily expensive...)

If you've done Vulcanus or Fulgora before Gleba ...

Re: Auto-launching of mixed rockets




It's been a year and this anti-automation still hasn't been fixed... Allow us to control thrusters with circuits as well.


For the thrusters thing I would recommend controlling pumps with circuits. I don't really see a problem with that.

Re: Automatically set locomotive to manual driving when selecting "drive remotely"



I think it would be a positive change, but sometimes I do want to look at what a train is doing without interfering with it.


I don't get it. You don't need to click the button to look at the train. In fact if you see the button, you are already looking at what the train is doing.

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.
