Ooooooohh, thank you! I've been hoping for a way to hide inserter arrows so ultimate miniloaders won't look like this anymore!

your fix for 73488 just outright broke fluidEnergySource in same cases. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=73980

First com-bot is quite good. Price per punch is awesome especialy when used together with PLD combat suit(MK2 armor + 8PLD). Becouse of close range combat you can get whole 45seconds lifespan com-bot shooting. However, second robot, the static one is combat weak (when not moving, his lifespan expectancy on battllefield counts in low-seconds) more over he is too expensive. And now more over require laser tech. Currently useless.

It is logical that laser based bot need that tech, so its nice touch. Hower, the combat value of the robot need to be tuned.
I would recomend consider some of these :
a) spit-proof shell
b) limited speed, like a] pulse engine, 1 pulse per 2 seconds make quiick move 1tile b] slow move 5km/h
c) cut the production cost half, to make it more expendable

The last robot the lvl 3, is total waste of resources. Compare his price to atomic bomb. But lets improve com-bots slowly. One by one. No need to make them OP all at once.

So, are any deeper revisions planned to the "expensive recipes" mode?
I dont want to start a new run until it is finalized, and the original FFF post kinda implied more thorough changes.

Thanks !!

Something seems to have changed with heat pipes. In 0.17.60, my 2x4 reactors were able to drive all of my steam turbines. Now, however, the end ones are not receiving enough heat to operate; temperature drops to 500 degrees too early.

Not sure if my design was taking advantage of a bug that is now fixed or if a bug was introduced...
