Re: Distribution of entity update time

Is it possible to reduce game speed, but increase (with single command) speed of everything? I mean set game speed to 0.5, but speed-up everything (train speed, bots speed, walking speed, research speed etc.) x2? So, on old computer or big factory someone can reduce game speed to 0.25, but increase ...

Re: Personal robots prioritizing nearest first

It should not be much harder than finding buildings within range of electric poles/substations, or machines in range of beacons. Does the game do it all the time, or just when something is changed?

There is my suggestion about skipping stations - last station You leave should decide about this, using Logic Circuit.

Re: What "Atlas Texture Size" really do?

So, after next few releases, no one will be able to play this game, without big pixels, on laptops and low-end/mid-range computers. In a FLAT 2D game. In a game with graphic rendered in very similar way to games like Diablo 2 or Sacred. Something is not optimised here... Maybe some objects should be...

Re: What "Atlas Texture Size" really do?

So, this game do not require better GPU or Graphic Card, just more of vram?
And cheapest GPU i have found (like HD5450 2gb/64bit) would work better in this game?

More FPS confussion...

This game is strange... After playing with options after my last post: My GPU load is 0% (sometimes jumps to 15-20% for a tick or two), GPU Clock drops to 250MHz (sometimes jumps to 600, regular is 790), CPU load is about 20%, HDD is almost idle, V-sync if OFF, but FPS drops to 15 when driving in a ...

What "Atlas Texture Size" really do?

IDK if it's a bug, or my GPU just sucks, but what's a point of using high Atlas Texture size? Except killing GPU, dropping frames and lagging, because in forest, with higher setting, at regular zoom my GPU usage level goes to 100%, while at 2048 it's about 0%, at any zoom level... I do not notice an...

Re: keep certain inventory items from being used as ingredient

However, losing all Your (useful and needed right now) pipe section just because I made some Underground Pipes is annoying and very common.
I have lot of raw plates in inventory, so UP should be crafted from it, not all my pipes - if I have it in belt or hand.

Re: Personal robots prioritize nearest first

Simplest solution: User controlled construction zone size. With ctrl-scroll. User reduce zone size, and bots works exactly as in lower example. Maybe even better idea. In addition, when you reduce the area to zero, other players won't be able to troll your robots. Also, you could select where const...

Yes, if programs are train-based, it should be absolute. In station-based, relative are better and simpler. Relative jumps does not need to carry about all previous stations count. If It is absolute, station need to know own position in the "program", or all programs must be the same. In r...

Re: Stop Blueprints escaping their Books

Integrate Books with the inventory:
If Player have Book in the inventory, new tab appear above regular items. One tab for each book.

Book can be used as nów, with scrolling, but user can also select the tab, and pick BP manually. After use, BP returns to inventory, to the correct tab.

Re: Video Memory Usage setting - confusing + constant lags peaks

What I mean - I can play perfectly well with hi-res sprites after ignoring the warning, with high margin of performance. Sprites size is NOT a performance degrading factor. It's vram memory management. If game can make 150FPS, but in the same time pauses for fraction of second every 3s, because of o...
