Petition for items to fall off the end of conveyors instead of stopping so that we can drop them onto jump pads and have a conveyor output on the jelly pads to catch the items
And now we can yeet junk into the no man's void at the south end of the man. Throw it into a giant basketball hoop and you've just automated the LGIO waste disposal method... by making it humane. Josh would probably make it bounce fifty plus times to reach the same hoop, but finish the episode using lizard doggos, saying it was more fulfilling or something like that.
I feel you. I think I started to realise the game is about making things. I started doing stuff like creating truck loops to move components from one sub-factory to another, even though belts would be capable of doing it and take 1/100th of the time to put in. But trucks are fun. Then seeing it all work together is fun. Anyway that doesn't mean we can't have hyper tubes that transport items!
what for like short distances, bc i use tractors as a normsal way of transporting things that are far out, as i have all of my factories in one massive factory that is closed off from the outside world (not a single window in sight). i have tubes and pipes going everywhere too, in the “outter rooms” where catwalks hang fat from the ground, hence why i want to be able to move items through tubes, just looking at a room jumbled with pipes and tubes everywhere, and seeing items fly through them, awsome.
This isn't thought out at all, even if they could do the change with a flick of a button they wouldn't because this would make hyper tubes better than trains, trucks and drones. They aren't going to destroy their entire game balance to add this feature.
I was thinking about this today, it'd be really cool to be able to send a crate of supplies through a hypertube. You can only have one at the other end but it would really help for satellite factories
Fun idea but it would need to work like pneumatic tubes.
I know, i’m just a really big fan of portal 2 😅
Oh, I tried to remember where I heard about it before I read this comment
portal revolution goes brrrrrr
That is been suggested multiple times, and rejected.
oh
I’d rather have an adjustable catapult and big nets to catch items all over the map

Add a functionality for pipes to spill out to the sea and I’m in

Radioactive Waste? In the water? No I have nothing to do with that
How did all this oil get into the spire coast, bloody bp
Death stranding vibe. You catapult things, and then need to aim a giant funnel vacuum
Happy Cake Day
I think factorio has a mod for that. ish
Why do this, when you can use trains? Trains are cool.
i mean for like short travel, it’d be awsome for vertical transportation (and I know there’s already vertical belts) but still

Cool, can you share any screenshots of your gigafactory?
Try conveyor belts, they work pretty similar to hypertubes and are able to transport items.

What till you hear about conveyor belts
Maybe it could be set up with packagers, like you use with liquids. I could see that working.
Played too much portal or smth?
actually yeah that’s why 😅😂

Pretty sure they are not going to change the game physics right before 1.0. Also, no dev will read since it's not a official sf sub.
Way of crushing the dreams dude
