Devs, please consider adding a quality-of-life building called the **Turbine Control Tower**. This would function similarly to the Mining Control Tower, but for turbine power systems. When selected, the building would display all paired turbines, generator…

Please, please increase the number of characters for the names of buildings to at least 128 (preferably, of course, to 256), this is a very cool thing, but almost always you have to write very briefly and not completely the materials in the storage facilit…

Limiting FPS in the background to 30 is a very convenient thing for pausing and going about business without turning off the game. At this time, the load on the GPU is greatly reduced, followed by the temperature, and then the noise from the fans. It would…

How many times have you grabbed a Flat Lift, for example, only to find out that you really needed the U-Shaped Lift? I've lost count how many times that or something similar has happened to me. It would be nice if the two types of Lifts, three types of Con…

During game play it is possible to open the resource overlay (key L) and then enable or disable the display of certain resources such as iron ore, water, coal, etc. However, the selection of resources to display (or suppress) does not persist across saves.…

Stacker towers are great. However, they have a flaw. On one of my current mines, I have plans to dig it out as a pit, then fill it back in with rock- but in order to do so without collapsing the retaining walls, I will have to rely not on stackers, but on …

I seem to recall that smaller terrain designations were considered a few times... and I maintain that having retaining walls only five tiles high half the size of terrain designations *that they are exclusive with* renders them largely useless, as the stee…

You know, those walls they use in subsea cities like New Orleans to hold the ocean back? If this was paired with a local-sea-level implementation and some way for the game to tell when a body of water becomes disconnected from the World Ocean (pathing syst…

 😠 Anyone else?

Hello, i think that the tools at our disposal to building lines are a bit lacking. I'd like to plan a line by entering a "build mode" with the ability to modify the path by clicking on it and drag/pressing keys to translate horizontally and vertically the …

Dear developers, it would be very cool and not as labor-intensive to implement, as it seems to me, to be able to change the logistics zone for the installed amount of transport with the same filters as you have already implemented. It would also be very ap…

It's never made sense to me to call what's obviously just a docking platform with some cargo cranes a "shipyard". On the other hand, when we can completely rebuild our own ship from the ground up, changing the hull shape and everything (the Radar upgrades)…

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/…

Could you please add the possibility of building a dam to generate electricity? That would be ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC in this already incredible game ❤️

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, …
