You can set filters on a chest, can't you?

I suppose you'd better move your middle track to the right and make it the rightmost. Or else you may effectively remove your rightmost "shortcut" track and leave one remaining (middle) track as a two-direction one -- because there will be no effect in having that shortcut (trains will any...

Quite a good idea. Where do I vote for it?

+1 Actually, it shouldn't be difficult. And our factories could be prettier with some tree parks too. You take some wood, add some water (and maybe some fertilizer produced from a coal and oil products like an acid), create some small tree which you can plant anywhere and it will grow fast. Sadly it...

Maybe propane, sulfuric acid, water and lubricant.
Maybe batteries.

I suppose I'd like to replace production queue (FIFO) with a stack (LIFO). Maybe with an option in the game settings. Like if I asked to build 100 red science, and all of a sudden want to build one track, it will be put either first in queue, or the second after already started first of hundred scie...

The ideal solution would be to change the perspective or use a true grid and 3d graphics. But this would mean to rewrite the game from scratch It shouldn't. Only display part and human input part (like mouse-click). All game-logic, calculating optimization, data-structure, etc. should remain mostly...

Use the mod, Luke.

+1 to liquid tank in vanilla

put an electric pump (or four) after the offshore pump?

But it did became better, didn't it?

Here is a radical idea, if you changed the grid spacing to something a bit wider than high (even if only in a 1.2 ratio)... That would mean redoing most of the factorio graphics, like rails, transport belts, terrain, most of the buildings, pipes etc. But it will be for good. Not to say that now fac...

thanks from me too.

If the display grid is square, then every item in the game seems higher than wider, isn't it? Including belts, for example.
Maybe it really shouldn't be square display grid then?
(Maybe it shouldn't be horizontal+vertical, but diagonal instead, but that's probably too big for a change)

thank you

Just an abstract question. Is there someone with numbers ready? :) What is faster in the means of bandwidth: long-handed inserter with two containers (say chests) and full stack bonus, or yellow/red/blue belt of equivalent length (chest + long-handed + chest)? Just thinking about replacing the main ...

Yes, I've received the message, so you should have too.

maybe there should be some "golf-field-grass tile" in the factorio Or even trees... but a grass at least. We all like to have our factories nice-looking, I suppose.

...Sure, I doubt there will be smth like that in vanilla soon. Just a dream And there are mods for growing trees.

Well, my suggestion shouldn't be too complex, won't change the balance, won't decrease fun. And there is some demand for it. So why not? Because everthing it needs to build this is already in the game or will come with v0.13. See from Koub linked discussions... I've looked over those discussions an...
