The terrain should be exactly the same... but isn't that what the Map Seed section is for? I mean I would think that made more sense if the map seed was for terrain procedural generation and based on what Cube said I'm guessing it's just to copy the map generation settings like starting area size, ...

hehe, you've done a few other things LordFedora to help me. *cough* tips *cough*

ah alright, thanks for answering my question

Any possibility this mod could also have compatable components for the Dytech mod? Since the mod adds a few more faster belts it would be ideal if this mod could tell if dytech logistics is installed and add in the research options and items for the faster belts. I like both that and this mod, but t...

Yes actually, that's exactly what I'm looking for, thanks LordFedora

So no matter how many pumps you have, they all shouldn't be connected. At least that's what I think I remember about making steam setups, each ...
