And pipes... The issue being, on the modern maps, it's quite possible for the trading dock to (accidentally) be *so far away* from storages that it takes trucks more than 6 months to fetch them. This is especially true if the trucks are busy, which can eas…

Allow us to create trains that work with surplus power, it is usefull in maps where all electricity is from solar panels

Could you consider making a bucket-wheel excavator available for our mining operations?\ In theory, the BWE could function like a "reverse" Stacker Tower.\ Regarding material sorting, the simplest method might be to use U-shape sorters or, perhaps, somethi…

So there's this process in real life where syngas is made by reacting superheated steam with coal to make flammable syngas (a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen). Then the Fischer-Tropsch process where the syngas is passed over a metal catalyst (iron-base…

That is to say, I'd like to have the option to tell trains not to route direct to the Depot for replacement/upgrade unless they're on a specific leg of the journey. This is bound to be insanely helpful on large maps where the train's fuel reserve has a sig…

Mine control tower size currently is 3x3 squares max.\ Asteroid radius is random and depends on space station size.\ I have space station XVII.\ I only get asteroids \~90-135 radius.\ Asteroids with radius range 80-90 fit in 3x3 squares.\ Asteroids with ra…

Hi I was wondering if it would be possible to make a "Lone Survivor Mode" Game mode player start. So the main point of this mode is the the player is completely isolated so there is no world map and no trade. The Abandoned Communication Station is gone and…

- I think it would be nice to come up with something with liquids. By collecting water, we could create a hydroelectric power plant; at the same time, the land would also be moistened, thereby replenishing groundwater. - If we collect water in valleys, we …

I'm highly lag-tolerant, so on my current world, I've gotten a pretty consistent 10-15 FPS with frequent dips to 5 or so lately. This chart seems to explain why: ![image.png](/content-images/779ff4fbd067466176ddd6dadd3b6103f5e9713388c7e633455f7594651d92cb/…

Something that's gotten my attention time and time again, is trains staging through stations they shouldn't be touching during backups- and on very large backups with very complex networks and *lots* of trains, the constant pathing (I *think* it's the path…

I read in the v0.8.5 patchnotes that station-linked storages are restricted so trucks can't perform the same operation as the train is. I've tested, and this is indeed true. It's also build-breaking. Is there a way to combine the reservation systems, to al…

I'd like to see barges added for local island transport. Right now we have belts, trucks, trains, and world-map cargo ships, but nothing for moving resources between points on the same island using water. With the addition of bridges, amphibious vehicles, …

**Replace Amphibious Vehicles with Dredging Vessels** Devs, please consider adding small and large dredging vessels to the world map, like normal ships. These vessels could include a shipping terminal that allows rock and dirt to be loaded onto or removed …

 I think it was ever since Update 3, the ship is completely undamaged when you start a new world, rather than before it was pretty damaged and actually …

Hi everyone,\ I love how Captain of Industry recreates industrial processes from the real world. I would like to suggest that you add a battery production process to the game. It would be fantastic to see materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel that can…

To make terrain "ribbing" like this easier:  I would also appreciate drag-placement when copy-pasting surfaces; it doesn't work right now, I have to act…

Just a simple idea, something like this: 

 The sorting rules on this chart are not clear, but seem to be related to the total combined amount of the three bars. As a result, on a busy, many-prod…

I think everyone has experienced this: they'd like to release liquid only after the ENTIRE system is full, and only then release the vapor/liquid into the surrounding environment or a tank.\ At the moment, I haven't figured out how to fill an EMERGENCY tan…

Simply put, *which* station?  (And "skipped due to fork in the track", etc.) On Network trains, if I don't catch the issue within *seconds* of it happen…

*Frequently used menu's that still have no key bind setting available (Blank by default, or otherwise):* - Vehicles Menu: For placing ramps and barriers, often - Forestry -> Trees Menu: many trees, many times *Frequently used Tools That are missing/coul…

Allow train lines to connect to a bridge that does not go to the ground. Will allow higher lines than just elevating the rail line and allow the big diggers under.

- Ferries (for truck transfer), bulk carriers, container ships, and tankers are needed; this would be a good alternative to building bridges. - Fishing boats and new opportunities (seafood, fish, etc). - Ports / parckings for trucks. - Offshore: Oil & Gas …

Please consider adding **fishing grounds** to *Captain of Industry* as a new food and logistics feature. The system could include several types of fish and seafood, such as **salmon, tuna, and shellfish**, each with different processing options or producti…

I would suggest to add tunnels. It could even be tiered as for longer tunnels you could need to research TBM and even make one at the vehicle depot.
