I updated the blueprint with the cargo wagons included.

I thought they removed this in 2.0... it took a lot of searching to realize you have to hold down shift while capturing the blueprint for it to include trains.

Here's a version meant for large scale production. It's only 22 circuits per second instead of 28, but at a lower UPS cost due to the following optimizations:


Cursed design abusing cargo wagons, to eliminate all internal belts and minimize the number of inserters. This doubles as the buffer ...

The proposed change would make the amount of science you get from an agricultural science pack deterministic.

Let's say I'm trying to make 1000 SPM of all sciences. With the current state of the game, I first have to figure out roughly how spoiled my agricultural science will be once it gets to the ...

I take it this is the case even if they're on different surfaces due to scripting?


Well, in the case I linked above, that was in the sandbox with a completely empty nauvis, no other planets, and just the one space platform. Having it be multithreaded per surface would probably be an easy change ...

TLDR: The spoil timer for agricultural science should be much shorter, but in exchange the science value should not decrease over time.

It's cool you guys tried to do something different here, but it's not fun. The spoilage aspect is fine, but the fact that agricultural science packs have ...

It would be great to have an infinite research that scale like research productivity and that adds +10% promethium science productivity per level.

Funny, I was actually thinking the same thing yesterday. But then I realized they'd have to cap it at 300% like everything else, and promethium ...

Thanks for the report however there is nothing to do with this.

It would be great if this could get added to the list of potential performance optimizations for 2.1. Right now promethium science is far and away the biggest bottleneck for megabases. Giving turret and asteroid collector updates the ...

Because it kind of reminds me of a sea anemone.

Luckily, if you don't like any of these new modes of playing, there's still good ol' 2.0 that you can play to your heart's content!


FWIW this kind of comes across like, "you can just go back to the old game and ignore the money you spent on Space Age if you don't like it." Not sure if that's ...

You're right that Nauvis -> Vulcanis -> Fulgora -> Gleba is the clearly intended progression if you want the least amount of friction. But this kind of speaks to my point.

The original game didn't prescribe a super clear path through the tech tree, and in general it didn't actively punish you for ...

I will 1000% agree with your first point. And I don’t think you’ll find too many people defending that one either. I totally get the “messy tangled organic mess” vibe the devs were aiming for, and I guess to their credit they achieved that. But it’s also a masterclass in un-usability and visual ...

Okay, I understand then, if the point is to make use of a waste product.

I'm not convinced it's worth the extra effort, and there are automated ways to void fluids. But I can appreciate the challenge of a "zero waste" factory.

What is the goal here? Is it to figure out the best ways to abuse only the foundry's prod bonus? Or to get the most legendary plates per minute?

A single upcycled metallic asteroid chunk will net you (with full crusher prod bonuses) 120 legendary plates after smelting the ore. I'm pretty sure ...

Well, I'm on an i7-13700 with a hardware RAIDed NVM setup with read benchmarks close to 6GB/s through DirectStorage. I never see the disk utilization go above ~15% while the game is launching, which makes me really wonder what the game code is doing that hangs the window for 6-7 seconds...

Other ...

What's the alternative behavior?


One perfectly reasonable option would simply be to discard any fluid in the internal buffer that doesn't match the new filter. It's basically the same thing that happens with crafting machines (and has been confirmed to be by design ), just on a much smaller ...

If you run the game (on Windows) in windowed mode, the window cannot be moved, resized, or minimized for long periods of time while the game is launching. Attempting to click anywhere in the window causes "not responding" to be added to the window title. This only seems to happen the first time the ...

It seem you are only considering the use in platforms that have insufficient energy production...


I have a legendary fusion reactor and a legendary generator. 125 MW would be more than enough for the entities on my platform if it weren't for these extra-large power spikes.


...makes it sound ...

The bug is exactly what the title says. :roll:

Here's the max recharge rate, from the game files :


614 input_flow_limit = "9600kW",


So for 4 laser turrets firing at once, the maximum drain I should see is 38.4 MW. But I'm seeing 96 MW for 4 legendary turrets, which is exactly 2.5 times the ...

I have 5 legendary laser turrets on a space platform. Here's a screenshot of the power drain when 4 of them fire at once:

These 5 turrets have the potential to wipe out an entire legendary fusion generator on their own for a few ticks, multiple times per second. This is completely ...
