For the inserter missing items problem... I had this problem years ago with burner inserters. Here's the thought I had back then...

I think the inserter movement speed is fine as-is, but they should detect upcoming items on the previous belt segment so they have time to line-up to grab the items.

There should be an easy way to convert a pin to a tag, and tag to pin.

Saving: Old = 285.429s New = 2.847s That is an insane speed improvement. :shock: Also, that old save time is absolutely ridiculous. Almost 5 minutes to save?? I don't think I've ever had a map go over 30s before. --- The Prototype GUI seems like an incredible asset to provide the modding community....

Looks like I'm not the only one that wants a slight delay to be added to the shell casing ejection. 8-) As for the pathing, that looks great, but my only concern whether they stay as a group when they change to attack mode. Hopefully they act as individuals when attacking so the unobstructed ones ca...

Wish we had something more like this... https://i.imgur.com/xQUHvRG.png The scale of the chart is determined by the max output of all power production (Steam Engines + Steam Turbines + Solar Panels + Accumulators) and the max consumption if every single entity was at absolute peak power usage (exclu...

Campaign cancelled - V453000 What if the "campaign" took place within a specific freeplay world (A specific seed, instead of randomly generated), and basically acted like a tutorial? Player could start next to their crash site with Compilatron, and the collapsed remains of previous bases ...

I'd love the Continue to be like a category, and have two buttons. One for Singleplayer, and one for Multiplayer. Just buy a Synology (a + model). It's great! Really. :) Do Not. GamersNexus went through the exact same scenario as Wube did, with the only difference being they were using Synology equi...

I hope the whole team had a nice vacation. Definitely deserved some time off. You've been working like maniacs all year long.

Hmmm...... Imagines reservoirs of Oil that have leaked up to the surface, rivers of Lava winding through the terrain, and churning pools of Acid nearby. Awesome!!. And, and... since we are talking environment how about dust storms in the desert, or dust devils... .... rain (wake up your inner pluvi...

"from the perspective of a new player, the things we are working on now are mainly nitpicks." Ah, yes... the curse of being an indie developer. The ability to nitpick, at the cost of pushing back the release date. ;) I still chuckle a little at all the nonsensical factory arrangement on th...

The results look pretty good on my IPS panel. I was worried when you said "brighter" at first, because I immediately thought of my TN panel, which makes bright colors look unnaturally fluorescent for some dumb reason... even after calibration. Still looks terrible on my TN panel... but eve...

Bot Tile Batching - Add Belts? Eventually I get to the point where I need more throughput on my belt bus, so I use the upgrade planner and just sweep it across the whole thing..... Then I go have a nice home cooked meal as every construction bot in the base repeatedly: Flies to the chest Picks up a ...

Request for locked pipes... If there's no fluid in the pipe there should be an indication that it's empty. For example, with the ALT info on there's a fluid icon on the pipe that has a black background. What if empty pipes had a red background instead? This way when placing hundreds of underground p...

Inserters should not chase items I actually made a video specifically testing possible train loading problems to highlight the issue with inserters hunting for items. If you only watch the bottom right two loading stations (Both with stack inserters), you'll see that when the stack inserters are on...

Failsafe, and bug-finding condition... When a train comes to a complete stop (anywhere for a manual train, only at a train stop for automatic trains), all blocks reserved by that train are un-reserved except for the blocks the train currently occupies. If the number of released blocks is greater tha...

Now that Loaders are gone, we needed a new 1x1 Consumer entity which the player must use inserters to fill. What about a delivery drone? Give it input slots like the ones in assemblers, where it can stack as many items as needed. (for example, concrete stacks to 100, but the assembler can stack it ...

- Inserters are now smarter - Twinsen THANK YOU! That was driving me insane. I actually had to do experiments a few months ago to find out what was causing that problem. The method I was using worked in every instance except if the belt was moving West, and the inserter grabbing the items was on th...

- Cars/Tanks remember their color Nice. Not a huge deal, but nice QoL addition. - Performance: It's never what you think it is That's going to be an amazing change to megabases with massive train networks. 8-) - Crashing on dereferencing null? Add a null check the mod API didn't prevent mods from do...

Looks fantastic. Good work design team.

Basically every rotation is like a new entity that tries to look like its other rotations, but somehow rotated (!?).

Hahaha... I get what you're saying, but that was a hilarious way to say it.

the ghost building without obstacle deconstruction is not available anymore :( I loved being able to start at the base, end at the outpost, and not destroy a single tree. Farewell beautiful untouched forests. The ghost rail planner tries to blow up the cliffs even if the cliff explosives technology...
