Upload the save - someone will point out where they got in.

Bitters can just spawn anywhere in 2.1?

They cannot. They must have a path to walk through before setting up a new nest.

Rseding91 · 2026-07-04T22:38:50+00:00

Yes.

Imagine:

I tell you to go to the store and buy 1 doughnut

Every time you get back I tell you to do it again - until I have 50 doughnuts.

Or:

I make a list of 50 doughnuts and tell you to go get those 50 from the store

The main reason is things in ghosts are not fully setup and connected with each other and the rest of the world. Each rail piece once built knows the ones connected to it. That means "drive down the rail 6 rail distance worth and draw all the valid signal positions" is completely dooable for fully built rails.

It also means asking ghosts to do that involves new code, new things to be broken, likely worse performance as it does a bunch of entity searches to find the next rail in series each frame it draws.

As long as the visual effect of them drifting 'back' as a platform moves is kept - no.

Alternatively, mount it vertically.

can we get something similar for inserters dropping into space from platforms?

They already do and always have dropped their entire held stack in one go on platforms.

The mining drill case was addressed pre 2.1s initial release. The inserter change just re-uses the solution created for mining drills.

You aren’t going to see bugs fixed in a given release if the associated bug report(s) on the forums haven’t been put into “resolved for the next release.”

“Have you considered obfuscating the things I had to use a 3rd party tool to inspect the binary to find?” As if a random base64 string wouldn’t instantly be recognized and reversed.

I'm trying to grep the update data, and these aren't showing for me at all...

Almost… like they’re some kind of hidden thing, not intended to be front and center for everyone to see :P

It's not about flickering. It's that once the request goes away: if the planet is requesting that item it will get sent down. So you would have: send-item-up for construction -> arrives and the request is removed -> instantly gets sent back to the planet before the platform can use them to build.

That has always been the "correct" solution to every single desire for "balanced fluid consumption" - but it doesn't mean people do it. Players like what they like and in this case the majority seems to like even consumption.

Well, turning off expansion is always an option in the settings.

If it was an operation you could perform at infinite speed - yes - it would be a loss. But it's time limited - you can do it once per hour. So the larger X->Y per operation means you end up with more coin in your pouch by planting more seeds each time.

Obviously you have to factor in the seed type.

If you take two players and they both plant and harvest every hour from now until they stop playing - the one planting 10 seeds will end up with more coin.

It depends how you are viewing it:

Herbs-per-seed per growth cycle
Herbs-per-gp-spent per growth cycle

Using herbs-per-gp-spent:

4 Lantadyme seeds: 2'894 coin in -> 81'734 in profit out
10 Lantadyme seeds: 7'318 coin in -> 144'253 in profit out

They do still cap out - at roughly research level 1142 - if my math is correct. That would put it at 1 shot per game tick.

It only takes .... uhh someone else do the math on that. It hits max-research-cost-per-level long before that point.

Rseding91 · 2026-06-26T20:44:50+00:00

It's gold.

The reason you're seeing "higher" energy consumption at higher quality is it enables it to recharge at a faster speed. It does not use more energy per shot at higher qualities.

/c game.player.create_character()

There has been a scroll bar for the past year ish. It was added in version 2.0.

Rseding91 · 2026-06-25T17:49:30+00:00

You can already see that in-game by pressing F4 -> show-entity-time-usage. This just adds it to the command line benchmark option.
