I like the idea of combat robots. That said, the current implementation of them sucks! The reasons for this is because they are very expensive/time consuming & worse, they are TEMPORARY! All drones should be permanent until destroyed and simply require recharge. Drone bays should be a modular ad...

Underground scanning does sound nice, but it should be a modular suit upgrade, NOT a world place-able structure. The underground mining structure being different is fine; I hope it's not much more expensive then the surface one. ;-) After unlocking scanning, it should unlock more normal ores all ove...

All of the ideas in the OP sounds interesting.
*thumbs up*

I REALLY like the idea of peaceful co-existance with the aliens. :-D I think that if we choose to research alien communication and build the radar device to do it, we should have a very simple communication system consisting of proposals from the aliens. For instance, if we build a huge mining facto...

All the ideas in the OP are great! \I have a couple things to add... Please make tanks modular, so we can switch out the weapons, just like the armours! Right now, when I get the thank, it has a nice cannon and a crappy smg; smg is useless by the time I got the tank, because of alien armours. I'd li...

Well I just got this fun game, so here's my two cents.... :-) Accumulators makes the game a LOT easier at night. yay! Processing OIl to fuel and burning it for more effecient energy generation through steam engines is a great idea (yeah buildcraft is really nice). Only do not want, if we HAVE to use...

Thanks for the replies!

I'm glad to hear it will show this info in the next version!

So if I mouse over a provider chest, it shows total bots, but NOT weather they are logistics or construction.

Can anyone explain the way to tell how much of each?

Heh ok.

Alright, thanks.

So these factories arn't intelligent enough to accept the liquid inputs to any input port?
Odd, the physical ones can be inserted anywhere.

I'm unsure if this is a bug. I've got this entire oil line setup and my first chemical factories set to produce plastic; they work fine. Now I've setup another one to make sulfur (for a battery chain), but it won't accept any input! To be clear, both Petroleum Gas and Water are piped to separate inp...
