"Refined Concrete" makes normal "Concrete" obsolete inside the factory. You may as well as remove "Concrete" and leave only "Refined Concrete" because everyone will be going for "Refined Concrete" anyway." By this logic, the devs should remove ...

Bricks, concrete, striped, and reinforced concrete should all hide ore from the game, and on the map. If that's expensive / inefficient, just have it be deleted from the game when paved over.

TL;DR The descriptions for rail chain signals is misleading. What? The current description, "Reads the next signal in the path to allow better control of the trains." is misleading in some situations, and completely wrong in others. (I mean this, given the observable behaviour in the game...

Can it be ported to the Amiga too? It would be really beneficial for my lakeside cabin, because it doesn't have a laptop.

+1 for different walls!

Just set up actual defenses, or use trains (coal, direct steam, nuclear cells...) to power your train outposts. You've already got the rails right there...

+1 for color-coding wagons! :)

Trains don't have equipment in the base game, right? Shouldn't this be in the Modding Interface Requests forum, or something?

+1 for hue-focused color picker

Is the problem here, that the station is in a location that would not be allowed, if the rail was layed in that curve before placing the station? (I know I've done this to myself before, but I can't remember the exact situation, and I'm playing Rimworld right now...) Either way, this is annoying. Ma...

It's not the compression that's the problem; JSON just doesn't allow for proper "comments". I'm assuming the devs didn't hand-roll their own JSON code, so it should be relatively easy to swap out for a different format. Inststead of JSON, use YAML or XML or some other format that isn't as ...

That would work for a comment visible in the game. It would not however, be a 'comment' in the JSON itself, which was the OP's suggestion.

A few grid lines coming from the Y-axis to help you line up numbers would be nice too.

Personally, I think this belongs as a mod (like Factorisimo) and not vanilla. You've already got blueprint strings in the game, and a rail-world setting if you need more space.

If you mean that the blueprint srting is JSON, then this wouldn't actually work. The JSON spec doesn't allow for comments. However, they could export it to something like YAML or XML, though.

It would reduce the complexity of the piping puzzle you need to solve, to have all your assemblers hooked up. I think it'd be OK if it was limited to mk III assemblers, or a separate building.

Personally, I'd rather have the beginning stage of the game lengthened, and the junk train makes even more sense then. Require research for electric drills, and add a burner assembler. There's some mods, but the assemblers aren't up to date with the latest game version. :S

Both the too-instant steering of the car, and the collision damage are annoying. Fix both plz!

+1 cool idea! : )

Another option would be to have a toggle, for the colors of the terrain. One setting, it's all flat grey (or white or some other sensible color), and the other shows the full topography, etc. That would at least make the stone, iron, coal patches stand out more. We've got toggles to show/not-show on...
