Re: Oil refinery should only show the pipes used in the chosen recipe

'Alt' mode already does this. IMO, we should instead be encouraging new players to enable 'Alt' mode. I've seen several people, with ALT mode on, and still connect the pipes incorrectly. I think it is more useful to show all the pipes, so new players can see where there are inlets to avoid, in orde...

Oil refinery should only show the pipes used in the chosen recipe

TL;DR To reduce confusion for new players, the oil refinery should only show input and output pipes that are used for the specific recipe. What and why? Many new players that see the oil refinery for the first time get confused by the amount of pipes that go in and out of the refinery. A common mis...

Re: SUGGESTION: near green HP bar instead of 1 bar missing when a small amount is taken.

Agreed.

When I just started playing and bumped into something, I was sure the car was very fragile as I lost around a 1/6th of its HP already. Only later I noticed the health numbers (just 1-10hp lost) and the big bar above the toolbar. It still sometimes confuses me.

Re: Recipe Icons keep getting auto reset / turned off on map mode

I changed the binding to right-ctrl. Was confusing the first time I started a new game and ALT didn't work, but it saves headaches on alt-tabs, alt-ds and alt-bs :)

Re: Recipe Icons keep getting auto reset / turned off on map mode

Map mode supports clicking ALT to toggle the selected overlays and not. It might be that?

Re: Moving single items from stack

The game already has a key for dropping one item, "Z". Maybe it could work in inventories to transfer one item if you have nothing in your hand.

That said, currently if you hold a stack and press Z over a UI element, it drops the item on the ground behind that UI element.

Re: I think assembling machines need some balance changes

AM2 is not just 50% faster than AM1, it also accepts modules. AM3 is faster and accepts more modules. Modules (and beacons) are used a lot in late game bases and by speedrunners, but aren't used very much by average players pre-rocket and therefore this benefit isn't too evident. This, I feel it has...

Smart belt turning should have an indication for the expected belt

When using the smart belt turning feature, the user moves the mouse pointer away from the belt and presses R. The game indicates the tile on the original belt from which it will create the new belt. However, at the target the user only has the pointer as a rough guide. Many times, because the tile i...
