Ok, thanks for your reply, if it helps for pvp ... fine then!
(But what about glue? Why do we need bones only for glue pre-oil and afterwards they are merely useful in mulch? *walks off mumbling into his beard*)

Mods / Re: Automaton Item Detector

This post will probably increase the popularity of this mod as opposed to what I want to achieve, but in my opinion, this mod is cheating. The detector will find and highlight items that are off-screen for the player. The off-screen range is not is not huge but relevant. If you have a default search cycle for the event drops, getting a notification and a map marker the instance you are near one of the drops before you could even see them makes these events a lot easier.

By enabling it for the spacefall or meteor event, it increases the mod users chance to find the loot opposed to players who do not use it, therefore I consider using this mod an unfair advantage and recommend mods to look into the code and try to patch this exploit.

Ideas and suggestions / Synthetic Rubber
January 22, 2021, 01:41:23 AM
Hey guys, I am really wondering why the only way to get rubber is by logging Rubber Trees. I think synthetic rubber should be a thing just as Glue from Industrial Chemicals is. Put it somewhere into Tier 4, add a recipe based on Mineral Oil and / or Coal and / or Industrial Chemicals to the tech tree and I'll be happy.

It would make sense imho that a player who has an advanced production line set up does no longer have to rely on the brute-force latex acquisition mechanic that somebody entering Tier 3 has to utilise.

We're no longer relying only on natural Latex in today's industry either, more than 50% is synthethised rubber.

I'd love to see this as well. Ideally with an arrow on the screen. That way I can mark a target location and let the arrow guide me there.

MGS, did you research as well what is the speed with which the different extractors will pump up the oil, how long does the refinery take to refine it and the cracking plant to convert it?
Once we know the time it takes for our plants to run through the canister stacks, we can optimise our conversion rates.
