It's been 2 months since my first rant, and I thought I'd check in and see if the non-SA player base has restored a bit, and I was shocked by what I found.
Not only are there still very few non-SA servers, the exact amount is unclear to me because all SA servers are now regarded as having no mods ...

I have an opinion, not the opposite opinion of OP but of a complementary opinion. I have the base game, but I feel like Wube robbed me of the game I paid for. You see, my only enjoyment of the game is online multiplayer with strangers. I don't have many friends playing the game and I find playing it ...

As someone learning the Japanese language, I noticed that input fields often regognize partial input before pressing space to invoke the conversion. This means that you can for example type (keypresses) "berut", it will display "べるｔ" and the the field could already be performing a partial search ...

To wrap this up I was finally able to fully recover my blueprint library today. Luckily my daughters computer still had a 1.0 build with all mods from our last multiplayer game, so I was able to drop my 0.17 backup on her machine and upgrade. Was 95% recovered on the first try. There were 6 ...

1. How do destroyed iron chests suddenly have hinges when the intact one doesn't?
2. I think the way the metal of rails is bent and contorted still isn't realistic, because realistically the metal is very stiff and doesn't bend like a ribbon.

This is not diggy where spills are limited to a confined area.

When you keep chopping trees with a full inventory the spills pile up quickly and you get a new source of slowness: When you spill inside a spill of already dozens of meters radius, the algorithm that finds empty spots to spill on will ...

I'm not, but I asked the author to come here.

@mmmPI: I, for one, don't like 'popular' and heavy game-modifying mods like Bob's, so I select 'no mods' in the server browser. If this server has a 'trivial' mod to just change stack size, I wouldn't even find the server.

You cannot increase stack size with a scenario because you can only change things that you can change runtime. Changing or adding items must be done load-time, thus require a mod[1]. This is intentionally not a mod because modded servers are less popular[citation needed].

Thanks for the report.
Performance issues caused by configuring things to have 2 orders of magnitude larger size/count than normal game are not considered bugs.
If two orders of magnitude is 'not a bug', then what is the official limit?

For this scenario (choppy) it's essential to have a large ...

There are custom scenarios that increase the inventory to well over 1000 slots using modified research. When over ~600 slots* are filled and "Always keep the main player's inventory sorted" is enabled, bots inserting or removing stuff from your inventory cause severe UPS slowdown. Locally I manage ...

When playing on a server, I suddenly get dropped (possibly network problem, but more severe if the server owner resets the server).

I get presented a question dialog if I want to save the world, reconnect or quit. I want to save the world, but let's try to reconnect once.

Reconnect fails... I get ...

Some slight playability issues too, like what I already mentioned that stuff appears in your inventory out of thin air. There was also a time when it said, "you need to research". I looked in my inventory if there appeared science centers. nope. I checked if they are now craftable. nope. Then I was ...

Ok I barfed this. I'm too expert for this introduction. I though the existing assembly machines weren't blue or yellow so I tried to pipet them and couldn't so I thought I didn't have any. And stuff appearing in my inventory out of thin air is also apparently a thing in the scripted introductions.

The introduction campaign is bugged. It's totally stuck with no way to proceed and no idea if I did something wrong.

I need green circuits to make an assembly machine, but I need an assembly machine to make green circuits.
