Correct

What is magical about short travel times? Distance over air is a fairly simple metric.


Yes, distance over air is a fairly simple metric. It's the other part where the game understand which silo should be loaded first that require magic imo. With bots needing to charge and possible surfaces ...

Ah... That is unfortunate. I'll cut off the two networks I guess... I do this on every other planet, moving items with a spidetron when I need them in another network (e.g. when I drop them from a space platform).


You can make a simple bridge with a requester chest on one side and an inserter ...

you mean the silo the game activate should be decided based on the location of the requested goods ?

I have seen this too. The problem isn't the bots themselves but which rocket silos are chosen to translate the orbital logistic requests into ground logistics requests; there doesn't seem to be any smarts to it.


I was under the impression that the order in which the silos are used for orbital ...

The title appears wrong as the description suggest bots do take the shortest path for loading rockets.

You don't know which bots, and it can be any bot, so if you just built things on the left, many bots are still on the left part,therefore statistically, when a bot is tasked to do something it ...

Notice I don't really care of the subject itself, my point was mainly I don't want drama on reddit influence dev decision. No matter the decision on the subject, I just wish dev choice is based on their own opinion about it and not because of social pressure.


Good idea to let everyone on this ...

Why would you say that ? all the formulas are on the wiki https://wiki.factorio.com/Quality ?

You are just wrong, and your explanations makes me feel like i'm talking to a 12 years old with chocolate all over his face saying he didn't eat the chocolate.

At this point there's not much more i can explain for you to understand ,but i'm confident anyone else can.

then you'd also have a basis to argue whether or not they lacked skill.

I'm not the one saying it !


It's a rather beautiful metaphor for it thank you.


It's wrong though, making seed grow faster when they have higher quality is similar to speed bonus on the towers, not productivity. You ...

Thank you, i have sent personnal attack in private as required.

Lol. Why bother? He doesn't show that courtesy. Neither does he bother keeping his criticism constructive or even rational. He's just a troll who clearly can't stand the thought of "losing" an argument. Just ignore him. It's what ...

It's still advocating for a system that solve literally 0 problems.
While I wouldn't say zero problems, now that I look back at the recent proposals it has become quite a complicated system to partially solve a small problem.

I think my initial motivation to support this idea came from ...

:lol: true, recent suggestion unlike OP propose to implement a more complex system that current one, to make it easier to scale legendary production.

It misses the point, not only because it wouldn't work but also because ...

That said, while the tone is off and the logic often flawed, it's still useful to developers in one way: it reveals how a segment of players can become alienated when expectations aren’t managed well or when communication isn’t transparent enough for entitled players—regardless of whether their ...

TL DR :

The long post presents itself as thoughtful feedback, but much of it ultimately stems from personal frustration over a perceived lack of control or recognition, rather than a well-reasoned critique of game design. Many of the questions raised are either based on misunderstandings, ignore ...

Finally ! Maybe next time proper quality ?

I'd have liked to somehow refrain from clocked circuits. There's probably not a good reason I don't like them.
I was intrigued by the problem if there was a memory cell solution that more or less stored the type of fluid/signal and doesn't depend on it's value so to say.
I still feel that should ...
