I don't see a benefit to mixing the positivity of this thread with the negativity of that one.

I enjoy Gleba now, but my initial frustration with it was based on a single fundamental error:

Bots.

After Nauvis -> Fulgora -> Vulcanus, I was using a lot of bots. So I initially started Gleba by sending down a bunch of stuff, and then laying down a bunch of assembly machines with requester and ...

If you're choosing to play Ribbon World, it's not the devs playing an evil joke on you. You're playing the evil joke on yourself.

And to be fair, it's not as though humans don't disseminate tons of incorrect information as well.

So maybe artificially intelligence mimics us too accurately.

sicky337, I realize you're probably trying to ask politely, but the way you're asking is in fact rude.

"Would you be so kind as to update it please?" is the way native speakers request something sarcastically .

It carries the connotation "I can't believe I even have to ask this; you obviously ...

Mabbus, you do know that AND/OR/XOR are bitwise, not boolean, right?

If you do A=5 AND B=6 and output as C, you'll get C=4. This is because the bit positions are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16... So 5 is 1 + 4, and 6 is 2 + 4, so the 4 is what they have in common. If you use A=5 OR B=6 -> C, you'll get C=7. If you ...

Because it should show the "Minerai d'uranium" matches when you search for uranium with the apostrophe, but it doesn't.

I'd guess, it's a dependency issue.
space age needs quality, because of recyclers for fulgora.
when you do vanilla with quality, you need recyclers, too.

recyclers can't be in space age only, so they are inside the quality mod.

Solution would be to extract recyclers as own mod, which can be used ...

From time to time people complain about the Quality mod, and an obvious solution, if they don't like it, is to play without it.

Except that if they're playing Space Age, they can't. Quality is marked as a required mod for Space Age.

My question is: Why?

It seems like you can finish Space Age ...

Next time when I visit a restaurant I'll tell them that I don't drink beer and I don't like that they have beer on their menue. Sure, I could just not order it, BUT it feels like that beer is staring at me ;-)

Really, you want an option for optional stuff ??????


To be fair, the Quality mod is ...

Might help if you listed all the mods you're using...

This might be worth looking at. It gives you a big pack of stuff to start with, which might make the start less painful:

I like that you gave me those mods I know they exist but its not the speed that I build as I can play without them its needing to go through the really early game making slow progress to get chemical science.


Sure, but especially if you've played the game before and have a lot of blueprints ...

Maybe it's because it's taking too long to build by hand?

If you search the mod portal for "start" you can find a lot of mods that promise a faster start, often by providing you with armor, construction bots, etc. to get you going quickly. A few examples:

You can bring them to space!

What you need is the blueprint library.

Despite the placement of the text blocks, I assume you're talking about the little sticking-out segments on the left side of the walls?

There is a purple inserter on this image, will this mean anything?

Sadly it cant be the long handed stack inserter i would've hoped for.


I assume it's left over from when there was a specific filter inserter, before all ...

wait what about the constant combinator? isn't that one also kinda needed to have that? do you want us to use decider combinators AS constant combinators now or something? or did i miss constant combinators not having a power draw?

also gonna be funny when the speakers dont work from low power so ...

It would probably make more sense for requesting undamaged items to simply be the default, and to have a special ability somehow to request damaged ones.

Seems like there's already a mod which, while it doesn't do exactly the same thing you suggest, might remove the indeterminism from seed production like you want:
