One Second Later...

Simply put? Removing a waypoint that's sitting on a pillar removes the pillar too, even if the pillar modification tool won't let you. That'll result in a qu…

Well, they all seem to be Captains... but it does make sense to me, to apply a different label to the devs as to the majority of players, whom they refer to as Captains.

It might be useful to the devs for you to attach the affected map file to the report? I'm also reasonably sure that, as a Hub bug, someone will move this post to the proper subgroup of the Bugs forum.

It wasn't easy to find a decent angle for that image, and I'm still absolutely not certain that I did.

Simply put, I seek to rotate a Stacker Tower in place- via the Quick Replace function available on so many other structures, rather than demolish-and-rebuild that's actually available on Sta…

Every train that has ever drawn rock from this station has done so in precisely one way: Four (or actually eight) T2 cars, all completely empty, and they left completely full.

So why is it that one of these rows is so very... empty?

(Don't mind the diesel train waiting in the stati…

What I mean to say, is that if I right-click on the Linked Storage icon to remove it, one of them is removed. This is expected behavior.

The unexpected part is that if I rapid-right-click on it (it was around 50 when I started)... the number doesn't just go down, but oscillates, sometim…

A setup somewhat like this (on the left of the stacker tower, specific structures not necessary; designations are flat, camera facing downhill) appears to make an "excavator digs behind it" situation fairly predictable- one where it descends a hill, then turns around to cut into that same hill. Probably makes reproduction easier.

Got a funny one today. Made several attempts to reproduce it, but while I have concrete steps, I was unable to manage it- it kept resetting, like it's supposed to. I suspect the trigger may have been frame-perfect.

The arm snapped back into the standby position when I issued it another comman…

Building vehicles isn't instantaneous- so why should recycling them be? I propose that Vehicle Depots (and train depots) should require time to scrap a given Vehicle. This could conceivably run in parallel to the collection of parts for a vehicle for construction in the same depot, albeit not the assembly itself (though since the Train Depot has 4 lanes to the Vehicle Depot's 1, it might be able…

I will note this also seems like it should be illegal... and has the same effect as above: Trains of the specified line are denied permission to approach.

The "Allow" side is a whitelist, right?

Interestingly, this time I tested on a waypoint that had a train parked at it- and that train did…

quoted post:

Currently in the game, you can set trains to enter the refueling station when their fuel drops below a certain level. Therefore, if you configure it so that trains need to refuel when fuel is below 50%, a train with less than 50% fuel will not leave the station. This can be set up regardless of the network or the line, unless the refueling station itself runs out of fuel

Ye…

All inputs to the shaft have been disabled. There are generators on the output, but no demand for them to do anything.

Thus: Zero input, zero load. Zero throughput.

While I can't seem to find any tooltips that specify what happens in this situation, what normally happens- and *wil…

Hmm... You could place a series of Vehicle Barriers with 3-4 empty tiles between them... Pickups & Trucks will still go right past them, but Amphibious (& Haul Trucks) will be unable to pass, and thereby denied permission to retrieve from those storages.

Notice how the station module plans to return 80% of its construction cost, as per my Partial Refunds difficulty setting, but the tracks are offering a full refund anyways? (Build costs di…

Very confusing title, isn't it? Well, I noticed this amazing new feature on the rail planner, brought about by the new grade transition pieces:

And I wondered... can we get a modifier key to tell it to put the steep tracks in the middle or end of the hill, rather than the beginning (with …

Under the twelve-percent-grade limit, those track segments go flat-to-12%, 12%-to-25%, 25%-to-12%, 12% straight, 12%-to-flat. Those new track pieces are awesome, but the planner doesn't seem to know how to use them legally.

This seems inappropriate, since the middle of that vertical S-…

I saw the pathfinding restrictions in the waypoint stations today. They've been there a while, and I seem to remember I was the one that requested them in the first place. So I thought I'd test them out, and they work- though perhaps a little too well:

The restriction is doing precise…

Also the bucket size if you used my cheats to change that also changed from unlimited to 500 for now because some reported it does not fill up on high settings. Patch note also tells this and I am looking in to see if i can recreate and fix it and for now it's 500. It's still way more then vanilla bucket size with even 500. 😂

When I saw his mention of a 1200 bucket size, m…

That's what it should look like. But it's a static image.

What should not be happening, is the topmost alert disappearing and reappearing roughly twice a second.

I have reason to believe it's connected to the fact that there are other fuel stations with fuel, they're just unreac…

I've got a couple of World Mines that I've manually set to minimum priority, and not quite enough workers to go around- so this batch represents those mines... which are sitting completely idle anyways, since I'm using pause states to remind my future self of which ones are depleted and w…
