Car steering aid

First off, let me just say that I love the new concrete and brick paths. They really enhance my factory setup where I intentionally leave wide areas open for road construction, leading to all parts of the base. Since my bases have a tendency to get pretty huge, these roads are really nice. However, ...

Re: Change personal roboport priority inside logistic network

A small roboport symbol at the bottom left near the Battery indicator which shows whether the personal roboports in the suit are switched on or off, along with a hotkey to trigger it (or just click on it).

Sounds good to me.

Re: Come and guess: Stable version of the 0.12

Imma go with 0.12.6

It just sounds right in my mind :)

Re: Let's discuss the new soundtrack

While I do like the new tracks, I also loved the old ones. They really fit a highly active factory well, and I would like to see them return in some form. I made a suggestion about a Dynamic Music system that would play different tracks depending on your current whereabouts, which would address the ...

Re: Weather & Pollution's Effects on it

I like it, though just like ^ said there then needs to be more ways to control your pollution output. Right now all you can do is just go green with your energy production. Assemblers and drills still spew the stuff like crazy without any good way to combat it. A straightforward solution would be to...

Re: Dynamic Music

Or, but this is very ambitious, one could have several versions of the same song, kind of like Defense Grid has, so that it could seamlessly switch between moods. (I've kind of been brooding over a procedural music generation idea- which would require god-tier programming skills, of course- precise...

Dynamic Music

Since the removal of (most of) the music from 0.11 I really feel the game has become more atmospheric, but at the same time more empty and hollow. The old music was more upbeat and really fit a highly active factory in full production, while the new stuff is great for the desolate landscape and smal...

Re: [0.12.0] Sounds and music interuptions

So that's why the game suddenly became so quiet.
I also really miss the removed music. Pretty much every old piece of it doesn't play for me anymore :(

Re: Blueprint catalogue (instead of putting BPs in inventory)

+1 This idea is both awesome & logical, I support it fully. In the late game your inventory can easily get clogged with so much stuff. Having the blueprints take up so many vital slots is not helping. Sure, you can reset them, but the reason I keep mine around is so that I can call for building ...

Re: Friday Facts #92 - Personal roboport

When it comes to automatically constructing remote mining bases, I mostly think along the lines of using the car as a mobile Roboport instead, along with it also acting as a Storage Chest. It would give me an actual reason to use it, or maybe a different vehicle would be more suitable for this task?...

Re: Friday Facts #91 - Being the evil guy

Well, I don't really mind waiting either for the whole deal to become available. I've been waiting for what feels like an eternity for the game to get out of .11, so what's another month or two compared to that?

Re: Friday Facts #91 - Being the evil guy

So, does this mean you'll wait until .13 before you launch the game on Steam? With a good chunk of the endgame content pushed to that version, I believe this would make the most sense.

And yeah... what DID happen to the tanker train cars?

Re: Friday Facts #86 - Trees

I love all these suggestions. Sand, Aluminum and Uranium all have viable applications for both the current and future game. Uranium is an obvious choice for the underground drilling concept, and sand is readily available from any desert or beach (it would probably be good if the game intentionally g...

Re: Friday Facts #86 - Trees

I'm thinking 2 or 3 more ores added into the game would be fine. To avoid clogging the overworld they could be part of the underground layer, and require specialized sensors & drills to detect and mine them.

Re: Friday Facts #64 The plans

Spaceship building is cool. To be perfectly honest, I don't really see anything wrong with the becoming-a-rich-bastard ending, what with the whole exploitation of the alien world thing going on. I'd like the rocket building to be able to launch satellites as well. Of the rain-fiery-death-upon-those-...

Re: Friday Facts #63 The plans

What about the other things you've mentioned in the roadmap for .12, like the oil tanker railcar and such. Is that still in the cards for .12 or will it take a backseat in favor of the expanded endgame?

Re: Trees should regenerate health

No matter how it is done, I just want those terrain feature healthbars gone. Perhaps the game could just not display them, and save that information for the mouseover information window?
