You can readout the speed of the ship at the hub
If you put a pump on either the fuel or oxidizer input to the thruster you can create a circuit that regulates the fuel
Flow based upon the speed

i completely disagree with the first poster. Factorio is my favorite game every made (and i'm 52) and Space Age is even more goodness.

Thanks for the detailed answer. to your first point, thats already what i do for major materials that i need in large quantities - single requester stations dedicated to, for example, copper plates.

The single station multi request question is related to things that i need significantly less of ...

You are not understanding my question, I give up - after extensive searches of the forums/reddit/etc. seems noone has solved this problem.

A simplified question:

Has anyone come up with a method to dynamically request different materials to be dropped at the same train station via the circuit ...

noone?

Understood - but none of that really answers the question or explains the behavior.

For example, if i have a train with a '[bulk wildcard] Requester' station tag, the moment iron ore enters the car, it becomes an '[iron ore] Requester' station tag. When the interupt condition is finished (e.g. it ...

All,

I have been searching for material on this, and it feels like there are no good solutions. There are a number of (overly complicated) setups for requester/provider circuit schemes, but they appear unnecessary and still do not provide the underlying functionality. I'm trying to understand if ...

Can confirm.

So i get that i dont ever post, so you might take me for a newb, but i've played this game for a long time, and build megabases.
Grats.

What I would like is for the game to give me any reason to do something different - at least in vanilla.
The laser turrets are there to make the game ...

While we are at it, could we get a medium game gun turret? Longer range, better armor?
I guess, they meant the flame turrets to be the medium game gun turret. That beasts are quite devastating and work with any sort of oil (so they are cheap on ammo).
A combination of machine gun turrets, flamer ...

While we are at it, could we get a medium game gun turret? Longer range, better armor?

There is a mod for that, while you wait. I play with it. Its pretty good & reasonably balanced.

This! I want this (the OP request, not the musings afterwords) - Roboports should report negative values for the things they need for the constructors but don't have, OR, barring that, it should be a select-able toggle akin to 'read logistic network contents' or 'read robot statistics'.

I have a ...
