The first unknown planet feels to me like a mushroom biome from a terraria. The second as a planet covered in fog, maybe with a coloured aurora above it. So I wonder how well I guessed it

Very nice. I liked the themes and thought they were very fitting, but the music on Fulgora is too loaded, my brain went into stress mode listening to it... i think it's good for an intro, but as a constant background music, i don't know... I agree. I think it's because of the electrical sparking. I...

I like this idea. For me, a real game changer was this tool that can calculate a whole supply chain and the needed factories for it: https://kirkmcdonald.github.io/calc.html#tab=graph&data=1-1-19&items=advanced-circuit:f:1 Maybe, it is worth an idea to add a similar functionality also in th...

The train/elevated train sounds somewhat remind me of my toy train in my youth. For a real world simulation, it's a bit hollow in my opinion. It really sounds as if a toy train is moving over sheet metal, mounted on a plywood panel. Couldn't you add more bass, more low frequency vibration? If a rea...

The water sound seems a bit loud and over demonstrative. I agree. The water sounds more like splashing from a clogged pipe. I think the sound should be continuous and less distracting. But there is one quality-of-life improvement related to sounds that I would really love to see in the 2.0 game - i...

Color-changing trains are weird. Have you ever seen a train change color during travel? I think if the destination was signalled by a colored light somewhere on the train it would do the job and look more natural.

I am quite interested in how you solved the rail planning. There must be a lot of possible combinations. What algorithm do you use to find the route?

Can we walk on the bridges? You can't. biters also can't walk it. If you cant walk 😞 on the rails dont bother doing hand rail graphics , thay make it look too cluttered anyway I think that without these "handrails", it would be hard to visually differentiate elevated rails from normal rai...

To take it even further, the concept of quality as described in the blog post seems to be inspired by or perhaps even a direct implementation of the process of "binning" used by any chip fab in real life: https://www.howtogeek.com/705101/what-is-binning-for-computer-components. Basically ...

You've already made so many improvements in the cleverness of the behavior of various entities that it might be worth considering adding a "better software" item to the research :D (Seriously, it would feel great to suddenly unlock such improvements after using dumb robots for a while.) In...

Am i the only one who has problems with understanding those icons? Probably the only icon i immediately understood is the braking power of the train. For most other icons i had to think for a few seconds to understand what the icon meant. As I read so many people cant decide on the layout of invento...

This design looks much better than the previous one. What will the destroyed beacon look like?

For now we have set the fire sticker to do 10x the damage, but only every 10 ticks

maybe it would be better to set it up so that the change only happens when FPS drops

The sounds of robots sound really strange. I would rather choose the sound of propellers or something like that. I also think that damaged belts could have a creaking or whistling sound. It would sound more realistic and the player would be more motivated to fix the belt
