I’ve found when comments like that exist, people take them to mean “this is the *only* time this happens” when that isn’t guaranteed.

I imagine that if it's worded like "for example..." then people will not assume that the examples shown are an exhaustive list of possible scenarios (at least I ...

Can happen due to pure chance, AFAIK there is no check to prevent this (though it's probably not impossible to beat).

If you still get problems after generating 30-50 seeds, then there might be something for real but not until then.

It does seem very much intended. It can happen on Nauvis too technically, but usually you have to do that deliberately. The main difficulty in normal play is distinguishing between unexplored and ungenerated chunks, but the debug setting makes for a decent way to check for it outside of editor mode ...

The player does not need to be present. At least, not back in December when I got the win, and I really doubt they would have changed it.


the End game achievement was not triggered.

If you're speaking specifically of the achievement, and since you were playing on a server: It's required that ...

I do think the easiest thing by far is to just burn them. They're barely useful.

I was taught to keep progressive saves of newer versions, just in case the newest save gets ruined somehow. It takes a bit more space, and eventually you might have to clean up and go delete some old ones, but I find it is very worthwhile. I think my Space Exploration playthrough saves ended up ...

Impressive pace indeed. Thanks again!

I ran into this as well. Needless to say, I consider it a bug.

I've seen bases where people make a small island on a lake, with a landing pad, power infra, nests for eggs and then just labs. It's so small it can fit on a lake pretty comfortably and works extra well if you can find an island somewhere with uranium ore on it. It's a pretty cool concept, though I ...

I've had this happen on Gleba, when buildings being super force deconstructed took damage from Boompuffs. It just so happened the Boompuffs got deconstructed first, dealing damage to nearby entities that then got removed afterwards before any other bots had time to repair them, thus placing damaged ...

Works properly for me. In the logistics map view (ctrl+L), then search (ctrl+F), typing "uran". Including highlighting the exact chests on the map. Version 2.0.60.

In my experience, if I truly need haste, I will simply have dedicated silos loaded by inserters. In slightly less urgent cases, I have a buffer chest with the required items next to the silo, and bots will reliably take from there and rapidly load the rocket, as otherwise bots can occasionally take ...

One of the first things I did after getting Gleba running was place down speakers, programmed to alert if seeds or bacteria were low. It was instrumental in preventing complete shutdowns, because as you also noted, there are a lot of things that can go wrong, and it took many fixes before I got it ...

Minor improvement but it's pretty reasonable.

Honestly I'm not against just capping the progress bar to 95% or such until the value is at 100%. This makes it much more clearer at a glance. Could even apply a gradient at the very end to show it, but that's a bit harder to implement.

I'm pretty sure you're low on power. I'm guessing it's trying to match the position of items on the belt but runs into issues at low power.

You can already plant seeds by hand, just not with bots, which I assume is a deliberate choice.

In the past, the radar was a military target and that meant it would always be targeted by enemies, but that was changed I think with 2.0.

It's probably a reasonable change now (it would fit kind of nicely close to the roboport which has its own mini radar).

Huge for Gleba.

There is a setting, that is not active by default (or at least wasn't back in the day), which says something to the effect of selecting an item as a ghost if you have it in your hotbar and click on it but don't actually have any of it in your inventory. This is specifically for when you are not in ...

Going by the numbers in the screenshots, this has about a 0.5% chance of occurring, in other words, you were very unlucky!
