Re: Friday Facts #409 - Diminishing beacons

For those who missed some words in the FFF and wonder why their implementation doesn't fix the problem of maxing beacons, like me, In their conclusion, In 2.0, maximizing beacon count will still generally be a good practice to have things produce quickly and save on computer performance. However, t...

Re: Friday Facts #409 - Diminishing beacons

1 beacon = 100% effect 2 beacons = 50% effect from each beacon, i.e. the same as placing 1 beacon 3 beacons = 33.333% effect from each beacon, i.e. still the same as placing 1 beacon Beacon Overload, but without the problem of making the machines completely inactive. This does not make sense, what ...

Re: Friday Facts #409 - Diminishing beacons

I'm not an expert on calculations and probably I didn't understand the post or didn't get the point but this change basically changes nothing. What do I mean? I mean that even if getting less/more beacons affecting a machine is more/less effective than vanilla, in the end I'll always want a 12/8 (1...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

Overall, I love this! But I also hate the names! I expect you will make them moddable though, right? I'd name them something like Crude/Low (and you only realize the quality wasn't even good before you unlock quality modules and see it), Normal/Nominal, High/Great, Exceptional/Superior and Pristine...

Re: Friday Facts #367 - Expansion news

I wish we will be able to build a second or even higher layer of transport belts and pipes so we can have more interesting layouts like Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere Program. I'm trying to make a grid, botless megabase (partially because of Robot Attrition ) but building belts in limited space is du...

Re: Version 1.1.1

We actually try to move to names list rather than just icon lists in these kind of tooltips if possible. The reason is, that when I see the name, I can actually search for name, but if you have a mod with 50 similar icons for something, and it just shows you the icons, how are you supposed to find ...

Re: Show acceptable ammo on ammo slot just like fuel slot

This is a good idea. Armor & equipment grids already show which items are compatible; it would be nice if ammo did the same. A tooltip for acceptable furnace ingredients got added in 1.1. But either what you are describing was removed or never existed (or I'm just stupid and can't find it :) ) ...

Re: Show acceptable ammo on ammo slot just like fuel slot

1.1 is out, but still not implemented and no reply.
Have to bump it and see if it can get attention.

(I really think ammo slot tooltip is a must-have, given that we already have fuel slot tooltip for so long)
(Also tried to post on Discord, also no reply)
