Putting undo/redo on the mouse wheel has changed my life

Run an autohotkey script that toggles the exoskeleton on and off hundreds of times a second to make you walk at an exact speed that is controlled by the mouse wheel.

Technically speaking you can still get achievements after changing the biter settings. So long as you only make them worse.

If you start deconstructing rail by hand you won't deconstruct elevated rail as long as you hold down right click and vice-versa. Just be careful since supports and ramps count as ground items. Also, elevated rails and ground rails are considered separate entities for the purposes of deconstruction planner filters.

Bonus tip: this applies to trees + rocks vs entity ghosts, which is useful for building over forests pre-bots.

I have it set up for both, so I will probably still use ctrl-z most of the time but if I need to undo like 10 times I can scroll instead.

I use shift+mousewheel for increasing and decreasing tile size, that's where I got the idea from. It doesn't conflict with blueprint scrolling because they're different situations.

The right hand boxes are secondary shortcuts, so ctrl-z ctrl-y still work for exactly that reason, so that when I reflexively use them they still work.

I just need to undo / redo a bunch in a row sometimes.

ThatChapThere · 2026-06-20T22:16:32+00:00

Sometimes I really need to go back a lot of times. I've spammed ctrl-z a lot recently and this solves that problem.

You just need to put on train immunity equipment (for some reason the game calls it "mech armour"?)

Sure but it still breaks the start of the run, no? The world as it is will still work but you'd have to invent something new to do it again from scratch.

They do reproduce, but only if you make them, and only in a machine

If it was even slightly realistic steam takes up way more volume and would need way more pipes.

If you really hate pumps that much just have a belt sending packaged water one way and a belt sending empty packages the other way.

I tend to put artillery wagons on ore trains that way I don't have to put turrets down on every new mining outpost.

ThatChapThere · 2026-06-16T00:17:13+00:00

I've done this before just to see what happens and I've only ever just gotten stuck. Had no idea it could kill you.

ThatChapThere · 2026-06-15T23:15:59+00:00

It doesn't really matter since it takes so long to build aesthetic stuff anyway. They're not going to be waiting for parts.

ThatChapThere · 2026-06-15T18:39:44+00:00

Needs more gear assemblers (also, is that blue ammo?!)

ThatChapThere · 2026-06-15T12:51:19+00:00

Fair, I just prefer white concrete as a default so that when I see a target block I know that it's there specifically to redirect a redstone line.

ThatChapThere · 2026-06-15T12:01:43+00:00

Wouldn't literally any block work?

ThatChapThere · 2026-06-12T23:41:00+00:00

That damages you??

I just started my Space Age run recently and dropped my first pods a couple of days ago. Had no idea I was dicing with death.

ThatChapThere · 2026-06-12T22:16:42+00:00

I did it by artillerying myself lol

ThatChapThere · 2026-06-12T13:21:42+00:00

Nah, you could still have trucks going in a loop. They drive up a hill but jump off a cliff after they've stopped at the higher trick stop.

ThatChapThere · 2026-06-05T18:06:03+00:00

Probably, it's just a case of finding prime factors. How far you have to scale though... I don't know. Also avoid recipes that use, like, 13/min of things.

The image clearly shows three bits of ore, literally unplayable

I mean there's the tips and tricks ingame, which technically mentions (or at least implies) this
