I love the new science changes. It is nice to see streamlined production of rocket components required by other stuff. It can kinda give a glimpse at those before you opt into rocket launch. I would really enjoy seeing low density structures being a component for mass production of high end military...

I'm not clear on enrichment, this is only reporting, correct? It's not going to start caching the good stuff internally as a "catalyst," so we still have to do the weird tricks to reinsert the catalyst and output that single nice chunk of uranium? Yes, It will still output all the ingredi...

Its time to implement equipment (or skills) switches which would toggle personal modules on/off like Personal roboport Personal laser defence Night vision Belt immunity Exoskeletons All of these you might want to switch off temporarily without removing them from grid. Like I wanna ride the belt bus ...

Belt immunity! At last! Thanks a ton!

Now add electric grid charger and you can see one more happy panda!

Really glad to see so many awesome news at a time

I do not agree on blueprint library implementation but apart from that its just a party FFF

IMO this looks like another troll post from Kovarex to heat up the forums. If not I'm gonna throw a rock at him myself. There is no sense in making arguments here. Queue just should be there. If you really do not like it - gate it after some research (rofl) or make it an option with default off. But...

Iron chest is dirt cheap. You can create a wooden chest for early game. I can see no problems with storage at all.
Can't see any benefits from having low volume low quality storage.

Btw on the provided screenshot with new spawners (which look nice to me) biters look just too merged with surroundings so I can barely see them at all. They definitely need more color and contrast added to them.

Really nice to see handy in-game editing tool. Keep up the good work!
Sure it is still pretty far from Creative Mode (mostly due to extra entities) but yet already lets you do much if you want to.

Oh man I just can't wait till 0.17 release! Its like a perfect box for a perfect candy

So I do encourage you consider more universal one way pair of t Yes, a standard rail layout is much better. Where would my design deadlock, though? There are only chain signals inside the intersection, so no trains would ever stop inside the intersection (assuming there was a large enough exit bloc...

While Jap’s example follows general guideline and will mostly work I do not suggest it in your case. Take it and remove all signals inside the intersection leaving only perimeter ones and it will never deadlock as opposed to the picture I would strongly suggest you drop the idea of dedicated 2-way t...

Just throwing in another idea If we get a tree structure reflected in file system, why not allow other file types such as text notes (.txt) and pictures, and call it just Library instead of Blueprint library? You can still dedicate folders to serve as blueprint books but players will be able to add ...

Sadly this is too major change to electric network to be even considered for implementation. Power switch does not transfer anything it just triggers recalculation of power networks. So it does not hold or have any access to your desired data.

So won’t happen.

To go even further for consistency sake raw wood should be like any other raw material like iron ore and stack to 50 while processed wood should perfectly stack to 100 like all other materials do like iron plates in this case. But this is such a minor tweak... the only issue here is how much energy ...

Currently we do have on/off switch on a constant combinator. It can serve as a solution for the mentioned task. However it lacks more obvious in-world interface.
However we really do miss a single pulse button.

Why are you holding to those books so bad Twinsen? Books were introduced when blueprints were clogging inventory space badly. When books were not enough library was introduced. Every tool has its roots and there is no shame in changing paradigm. When we are talking about tree structure books can be ...

Never gonna happen as it is a logic loop.

I wanted to create a separate topic but it is better discussed in a single one as the general idea is the same. So the general idea is to have a library in explorer-like tree form which would be reflected by file system counterpart. In this case folders play a role of blueprint books while allowing ...

Personally I do not see anything good with blueprints staying as items. None. But it is acceptable. But I absolutely do not like the idea of inventory-like blueprint library. Library is meant to help you storing and SORTING massive amounts of different items. Plain item heap just fails on sorting pa...

The topic was called Propulsion power of bidirectional trains. Pretty big one
