Need some way to get more sand.

In the moment the maintanace production works like magic over WLAN. I think the maintanace could wor like the fuel Station with added trucks for this work. There can ...

When you have multiple gas stations, I've observed more often that the fueling vehicles still drive across the map and waste fuel. Although another gas station is ...

Gasses, liquids, and loose solids are all stored in something that you can see into at a glance. It may not be precise but you can at least get an idea of the level ...

More T type balancers for better pipe construction design and others

Make the three basic connectors up-gradable to a connector balancer that has the same prioritization settings and features as the other, larger (ground level only), ...

It can take a long time to clear out the desired trees that block construction. This can interfere with planning and design as well as simply be a minor irritation ...

Ability to build (terraform) Energy accumulators using Water Pumps and artificial ponds and Dam Just like IRL ...

Make sure that the excavators do not dig behind the retaining wall. For if you place the walls one after the other, the excavator begins to dig the ground on the ...

Buildings that aren't running shouldn't be consuming maintenance

Change I/O - ports on storages to what we have with balancers. That way we either could toggle the direction of storage buildings (maybe if it was empty first) or ...

Currently if I want to rotate a building, I have to demolish it. If I want to move it, I have to demolish it. I'd like a "reposition" button that I can click, in ...

1) A toggle button for farms' UI that prevents seeding food crop if fertility is below certain threshold. So if the toggle is on, then fertilizer-dependent cycles ...

We can already set alerts on storages. I would like to set alerts on production buildings to notify if "Missing Input" or "Full Output". eg "Maintenance Depot is ...

Add new maps with seperate Islands you need to get to to secure different resources and add bridges as a constructable item. You could then have wooden to start with ...

Ability to create contracts as an alternative to picking one of the offered ones from the list. How it work. Inside of the contracts page add a new button "Create ...

Right now, diesel can be a major source of hassle when designing and balancing oil refineries. Power production is a convenient way to get rid of most other ...

It would be nice if the Diesel consumption of ships could be a sub-category in the Diesel statistics overview. That would lead to an easier calculation and assessement.

Add an advanced control to the mining tower to allow or restrict different dumping materials at different heights. I like to dump dirt on the top layer of old mines ...

Allows all transportation to be copied when using copy paste rather than manually added post hoc.

Would be cool to see a progress of growing crops (as green when everything is ok, as yellow-ish if its paused/slowed down) with aaditional (shown as striped blue) ...

procedurally generated under ground area to mine and use the trucks and the excavators and/or drills

A simple thing, but is it possible to move the back button on the research page to under the start research button? Seems odd to have to go from one side of the page ...

Currently the designation tool size is double the width of a retaining wall, which makes working with them quite annoying. If the designation tool grid size was the ...

It's a bit unrealistic that settlers are ready to work when born and never die. I think adding a life cycle would be a fun challenge -- children are born (and take up ...

Suggest to add new functionality to fast t2 belts of U-shape type - make them selectable as dumping designation for specific materials. This way mined ores and soils ...

Why better than with right mouse

simple button to lock the camera to a set truck so you can follow them around and see their daily tasks

Add an option to storages storing food items that the contents will be counted when calculating food warnings. Currently, large colonies have to have extra food ...

Please add on option to store views, i.e. on the F-keys. so we can quickly switch between shipyard, dumping area and so on.

Supply your settlement with steam heating as an additional requirement to power and water services. Demand can fluctuate with the seasons. Steam low can be just ...

How it is now: escavators sort out if they digged rock, dirt or ore and wait for the appropriate truck. The suggestion: let them just dig whatever they find mixed ...

Just like the image demonstrates. An extra building that allows more than one truck to load/unload at once.

Add high priority excavation areas along with standard and allow mining towers to assign vehicles based on the excavation area within the marked zone.

I'm the late game, it would be fun to be able to send the ship on far longer cruises. Or, perhaps, to power our cargo ships without diesel. What if we could put a ...

I found myself in a situation that I assigned trucks to sand mining, but did not have any sand storage. It led to a situation where I cannot build storage (because I ...

They become too inferior to contracts, some even to just island production, some options to buff them are: 1) Upgrades on tech tree, that will increase their ...
