I agree. This is a good change.

Every time I have to deal with bad commercial software I am mentally comparing their laziness, bloatware, and carelessness against Wube.

I usually watch the first launch, and then more launches if I can. It's fun to send 4 rockets up at once.

The ability to hook into an electrical grid to recharge armor would be nice.

I'm playing a Vulcanus first start, so I have no onboard power for my mech armor except solar even though I've got factories running on Vulcanus, Fulgora, and Gleba.

I don't use the shotgun ever... because it damages my base. A rebalance might make it actually useful.

TL;DR
Remove the overly complex and wasteful steps required to take sulphuric acid back to sulphur


What?
Add a recipe allowing sulphuric acid to be distilled into solid sulphur. A secondary byproduct could be water, steam, or heavy oil - or none at all.

Why?
If you're doing science on ...

you can go even smaller if you're willing to sacrifice some resolution(and CPU cycles)
could probably use a log scale instead of the arbitrary thresholds but that would take some thinking

Thanks... I think I sort of get it?

Thanks!
I take it the "memory cell" is the second combinator, the one that sends and receives the same number? Its job is only to hold a "The value in the system now is X"?

So the overall logic is:

The system has Y amount of product X with a target value of Z.
The input (arm/belt) is set to input ...

I have copied this string from a Reddit post, but I don't understand what's going on.

The OP (fofz1776):

Sushi belts are belts that carry more than two different items. Sushi can make ...

Yellow rockets work about as well (unless you have a high density asteroid field) and take fewer resources to make. Just a thought.

No, I just put them on the edges and weak points of my Shattered Planet ship where they were more likely to be destroyed and need replacement. I'm still figuring out how to build to get past about 100k.

I dumped in some quality modules and just let it run. I built my ship with regular railguns, and then went back and upgraded later.

I think a quality locomotive going faster would be great!

I look for what direction I can build a main bus (although with SA the bus is far less important). Starting on the 2nd playthrough of SA, which I'm still on, I also leave gaps in my factory so I have room to add things later, like pipes for molten metals, room to swap green and red circuit ...

You can use it for oil cracking and rocket fuel, sure, but you're not doing that because you have to, but because you want to.
Wait, what?

That explains why oil processing never got a building upgrade!
And that explains the fish growing tech for Nauvis...to make nutrients for more efficient ...

Enjoy the different music!

I found it helpful to bring along some big miners, since they use up the resources half as fast.

The biggest grip I have with it is the reward. The biological chamber is quite weak and mostly useless outside of this moist planet.


The biochamber isn't the big reward from Gleba. You're overlooking the Stack Inserter, which enables a huge throughput improvement across your entire factory ...

You have to personally land on the planet to actually place the cargo landing pad and start doing work. It's not self-deploying, so it's just sitting there in a drop pod waiting for you.

You'll probably want to search around for the best island to build on. I found a car to be helpful for this ...
