Did someone say oil?

I think that if we've learnt anything from the past few years(the indie dev boom), is that there is a huge market for well made indie games, and for games with a crafting/base building theme. I don't think we can call a game like this much "less casual" then minecraft. I think the main hin...

Just one remark about the "no payment" for politicians. This would mean only people who can afford it would go into politics. So just rich people. I don't think they represent the majority(and the interests) of the population. That said, it's incredibly hard to balance. Too low, and most p...

You could make the pollution data and information overlay a separate entry in the key bindings, then if someone would want them separated, he can just change the key binding of one.

Ok, now I'm just curious how the rails are bugged

What are the "toxic-chemicals" techs for?

Haha, well I had to look up the term combinatorics to see what it actually means
I have no clue where to begin, and exams coming up. So I better focus on that first

I don't know if this may be a spoiler, so I'll just spoiler it: I'll try to work it out when I get home tonight.

Thank you for the explanation Holy-Fire, although I must admit I was a bit tired when I typed my reply at 4am. It's an interesting thing none the less, finding continuous functions for things we previously only knew as discrete.

That's a pretty interesting video. I was always wondering why 0! = 1, so this finally gave me an answer. The continuous factorial in the end is also an interesting concept, I do fail to see how it relates to the factorial. Since, in my head, the factorial has always been based as "the amount of...

Hey all, look at the guy who removed a full chest while already having a full inventory.

In all seriousness though, this is a good idea. I do think it should take up quite a few slots, so you'd have to specialize your armor.

I personally think the existing controls for accumulator/steam engine control is a perfect example of awesome engineering. The game gave you some (limited) tools, and he "invented" a control circuit to toggle the energy-source. I do think there should be somewhat of a challenge to building...

I wouldn't mind having an overview of planned features. I don't necessarily have to see when something is planned, so long as I can see if something is planned or if it's being developed already.

I think it would just be an annoyance when you'd first have to remove all leftover crap. Imagine you lost a rather large part of your factory, you have the materials to rebuild, but you can't, because you still have to clean up all of the mess left by the attack before you can rebuild. As you might'...

Wow, this looks great. I'd like to use the snow version without the impassable hills though, is it possible to have 2 options?

I believe power generation isn't the only source of pollution, mines, assemblers and furnaces also generate pollution. So you won't be free of pollution unless you only generate so much as the trees can clean up.

In previous versions, alien bases were spawned in newly discovered lands, which had advantage of knowing where and how to build your defenses. Now since 0.7.1, bases and worms keep appearing in my base. I have setup a rather wide perimeter though, so I have enough room left for expansion and train s...

I have the same problem. Not only do worms spawn inside my base, enemy bases also spawn there! I had to run an emergency line towards the right base because they were destroying my rails.

It's an open space, but aliens would have to get past the turrets on the perimeter to get there normally.

Could it be that when you'd create all base materials(gear wheels, circuit and belt), that you'd end up with one of them left? Because that could indicate the raw requirements being rounded down incorrectly.
