Resurrecting this thread, as I was going to make a similar suggestion. My main issue is that completed research closes any window you happen to already have open. So if you're configuring something, then research completes, you have to go back to where you were, which is very jarring. A simple quali...

For #4: It'd probably not a download, it's probably the steam cloud save sync. Not all games use it, so it's possible Factorio is the only one you have that uses it.

I like this idea. Seems like a reasonable concept. With the addition of nuclear power, having an intermediate step between steam/solar and that seems like a good idea. It's also somewhat balanced by it being tied to a specific location.

Nobody ever said the train conditions follow boolean precedence. They do a simply top->bottom accumulation of comparisons. Could you please elaborate on this? What does "Top->bottom accumulation of comparisons" mean. The only reasonable interpretation is that a OR b OR c AND d is evaluate...

I do both, depends on the situation. I generally try to work with belts, but often it's not worth the contortions. I normally use logistics bots for refuelling, as it means I can have refuelling at lots of different stations without needing to figure out how to run lines to it.

I like this idea. I'm a sucker for overly-complex rail set ups, and more than happy to figure out how to get an intersection to work if I can. However, as you say the first chain signal in a, err, chain is more important than the rest and having it be visibly different would be nice. Maybe having it...

How about an official response to this idea/suggestion: No. Seriously? If you're not going to elaborate, why even bother with the response in the first place? Also, there are two suggestions here, is that "No" for both of them or just one? Did you look through the rest of thread or is thi...

They likely use floating-point numbers for positions in the game (because that's how you generally do this stuff). And single-precision floating point numbers have about 7 digits of precision. 2,000km is 2,000,000m, which is 7 digits of precision there. Assuming that 1 tile = 1m, then that gives you...

I'm here for the "miniaturisation" aspect, as I was essentially going to make Kirvesnaama's suggestion myself. While 3/4 combinators aren't too bad, and you can do a fair bit, as the complexity rises, so does the space and that can be incredibly frustrating when you find that you don't hav...

The problem with efficiency modules having a "downside" is that kinda stops them from being efficiency modules. Efficiency can be measured many ways, but generally, if process A produces more output for some fixed amount of input than process B does with the same amount of input, then proc...

Is it not a bit weird that players can hold more parts for belts than actual belts? Actually, this is a good point. One stack of gears and one stack of iron produces 4 stacks of regular belts. That actually seems like a decent reason to make belts stack to 100. That way two stacks of input will pro...

I think a good addition however, that keeps with the spirit of the original suggestion is to allow you to scroll through available track pieces before placing any. I suggest using Shift-Mouse Scroll by default, as that matches how you select between blueprints in the blueprint book. So you'd start w...
