Found this looking for ways to avoid the buffering of fuel in the thrusters.

I primarily was looking for a way to measure pipe content with the idea that when speed is zero it will keep pumping until I have like 10 fuel ion the pipe.but I do not know if the thuster content is independent, and of ...

Would not require a new building.

Either use the normal assembler which already can have a fluid output when emptying barrels and allow that to also have a heat pipe input, or use the chem plant and allow it to have a heat pipe input and then add a recipe for Ice to water that requires heat.

And I ...

What are you talking about?
Minimum Payload.png

What I dont like about this, is it doesn't fill in the extra space.
So if my items = 1kg. I just wasted the remaining 999kg's


Yes its that one I assume, but in this case that it is missing for construction materials so the only option if you ...

I found that if I create a blueprint with parameterized recipes where the assembler I copied used a higher quality, I can change the recipie BUT the quiality setting for the assembler stays even if I can select quality when I try to select a new recipie when pasting the blueprint.

But this might be ...

I'm unsure about the oil changes. I've read (or at least skimmed) most of the posts above, and I think there are some good ideas that might be considered.

My first thought was "yay, I always seem to run short on petroleum at some point". But then thinking about that some more, this need for ...

Some discussions on the Discord server led to an idea for dealing with the new player issues with oil that I think would work a lot better here. Original credit for the idea goes to Hexicube.

The idea is based on the following assumptions:

* The fundamental problem is that it is difficult for ...

Awesome graphics for the silo

But I agree it moves a bit to fast and snappy.

Also, to me it appears to sit a bit to high in the silo when the doors open and close, when watching them close I almost expected the nose cone to be shaved of by the closing doors.

What is the use case for waypoints? I've never felt like I needed to build one.


One situation I can think of is when you have a central tight base with many smaller stations and lots of short tracks between intersections.

Then you add a large mining location and need to go to smelters on the ...

One thought regarding Assembly machines.

If the problem is that there is no explanation for item limit, why not add a very simple solution.

When you select Item to craft, show all craftable items but grey out those that the current machine cannot craft with a tooltip explaining,

"This recipe ...

Getting my unread two cents in here. I feel like if the goal is to simplify a little than assembler 1 should have 3 ingredients. Now you can suddenly automate assembler 1s, inserters and splitters. Without being able to automate slightly less necessary in early game assembler 2s, steam engines ...

Had an idea for stacked belts... what if you could take up to 4 blue belts into a building that was 4x3 and then build sections of stacked belts that are 2x2 each (though you can't interact with the items while they are in these stacked belts).... and at the other end have an other 4x3 building ...

My ideas to "semi nerf" logistic bots:

Reduce the starting speed of bots and add more speedup tech for late game, it also helps to keep the base busy generating more science in the same way as infinite research.

Lower load and unload capacity on chests just like only a few bots can power up at the ...

With larger spread out bases I quite commonly loose bots that try to cut across enemy land going between two areas connected by a chain of roboports.

This forces me to break apart the networks until the base is roughly circular.

I suggest that you shoul be able to restrict bots to only plan path ...

Hi

I noticed that when running the Kovarex Enrichement, all output from the centrifuge is counted in the statistics resulting in that in my current game it says that I have manufactured more Uranium 235 that I have mined uranium orein total (several times more) ;)

I currently have around 8000 ...
