Re: Friday Facts #408 - Statistics improvements, Linux adventures
I do have a suggestion for production statistics (sorry if it has already been mentioned) Please include a way of visualising for each recipe how all the machines producing the same thing spend their time. (Producing, Input starved or Output blocked) This should make it way easier to check if your p...

Re: Friday Facts #406 - Space Age Music
It is rain. Definitely rain. It never stops pouring on that planet, is it? Everything is drippy and rivers erode the land at alarming rates... sounds exiting. Is was kinda expecting the Fulgoria track to come with a touch of mystery, maybe even melancholy with all those alien ruins littered on the l...

Re: Friday Facts #405 - Whole belt reader, New logistics GUI
Can you think of any other improvements we can make to it? Yes. Please make the list of items available in both descending and ascending order. (it is also still too big and looking for something specific in a sea of icons is no bueno) While you implement that - Please also find a better solution t...

Re: Friday Facts #403 - Train stops 2.0
When tinkering around with schedules and logic conditions on the trains themselves, I have the opportunity to set the train to manual to prevent it from leaving or going places it shouldn't be, until I am finished with putting in all of my changes and checked my work. Problem: With stations I don't ...

Re: Friday Facts #401 - New terrain, new planet
Finally some love for alien worldbuilding! I can already see new tactical applications on the horizon... It would be so nice, if terrain gets even more attention. Like giving (small) range bonuses to buildings (artillery :mrgreen: ) on cliffs over things below (also: grenades hurled over the edge).....

Re: Friday Facts #399 - Trash to Treasure
I think the problem is some of us just. can't. ever. throw things away. Everything mined must also be used for higher goals like growing the factory or perforating wildlife... eventually, but not recycled into nothingness. And that means the need to store it until then. It's a Dragon thing... ;) Any...

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements
So we fixed it, so the train will only give up its reservation once it leaves the block with the train stop. I would be interested to know if other people encountered this problem in 1.1 as well. YES! I tried to design a train depot with circuit logic to distribute coal across the base dynamically....

Re: Friday Facts #386 - Vulcanus
First thought: Ooooh pretty! Second thought: On second look I am sure, we will still see a lot of changes. There's still something 'off' about these new cliffs. It may be that they blend in so much structurally that you had to make them stand out by shade instead... and that works good on the first ...

Re: Friday Facts #320 - Color correction
In case, we are holding a vote: I actually like the more vibrant colors. It's just enough to make the game look better without overdoing it. (like Diablo3 did)
Also having some trees be strangely colored is cool. I definitely won't chop those down.

The night is a bit too ultramarine blue now. Add a little green to the mix, it will look much better.

These new ore icons look really good on the belt. This is not a change I needed, but a change I appreciate. While on the subject of nitpicky optics changes... Can you make the items on the belts rotate properly, too? With some things (namely flat things like concrete, plates, circuit boards) it beco...

Re: Friday Facts #296 - All kinds of bugs
This reminds me of the 6 stages of debugging:
1 That can’t happen.
2 That doesn’t happen on my machine.
3 That shouldn’t happen.
4 Why does that happen?
5 Oh, I see.
6 How did that ever work?

Re: Friday Facts #290 - Rail building changes & High-res icons
To be honest, sprite popping/resolution change with draw size is such a common sight in games that I hardly notice it anymore.
