Re: Make promethium spoil, and quickly

I collect promethium in cargobays on my ship, not belts. Is it "efficient"? Probobly not. Do I care? Not at all.

I bring the prometium back to Nauvis where it's dumped to the surface, then it's shiped up to a different platform that does the science. Again, not efficient, but its my way and I like ...

Re: Fish healing + put them back in water

You can drop them in the red water on Vulcanus. They even revard you with a happy "Pffft" sound when you do.

Re: WASD Movement Canceling When Opposite Directions Are Pressed Simultaneously



I have one of the keys pressed constatnly while taping the other repeatedly makeing their predictions allways way of. If there was forced canceling I'd have to actualy shift which key to press and risk not being in motion for a tick or two and thus get gooed by the worms/spitters.

Re: WASD Movement Canceling When Opposite Directions Are Pressed Simultaneously

Sounds like a good accessability feature, just make it optional.

For me personaly I find this non cancelling very usefull when fighting worms, I have one of the keys pressed constatnly while taping the other repeatedly makeing their predictions allways way of. If there was forced canceling I'd have ...

Re: Coal Liquefaction

My gues would be that the spliters are triping you up. The inserters will pull from the top lane while the bottom lane will backup and prevent new coal from flowin in to that lane. So the througput of the red belt is artificialy reduced.

Try pulling directly from the belt without the spliters (long ...

Re: Belt Imunity rework if not redone



There sure are. I've never bothered with belt immunity (but I like that it exists as an option for thouse who want it), I often use the belts to run a bit faster around my base. Obviously this is mostly early game as remotview soon removes the need to move at all.

Re: Belt Imunity rework if not redone


Only downside of not having a separate button for it would be that if anyone actually doesn't want belt immunity. Period.
Are there any such people? I know some people just don't bother equipping it but do they actually like being affected by belts all the time?

There sure are. I've never ...

Re: Show range on existing mining drills when the player holds a drill

Sounds good to me. I often find my self musing over a big mining drill and try to find a good landmark to focus on at the edge of its range befor I switch over to trying to place the next drill. This would help with that (very mild but still) annoyance.

Personaly I use a-bombs so infrequently allready (artillery + PLDs in relevant quantity solves most of my biter problems), no need to make me hesitate the few times it happens.

Re: Beacon range in factoriopedia

Isn´t "Supply area" the range (9x9)? It's not expresed as a radius (makes sense as its a square not a circle), but it is there.

On the other hand, I completed a couple of runs and created a base on Fulgora a couple more times, and I never "recycled" a piece of scrap by hand, not even once. The idea didn't even occur to me.
When I first landed on Fulgora, it didn't even occure to me that you could drop stuff from orbit ...

IIRC the combat tab allso holds everything that goes in an equipmentgrid, combat related or not. Belt immunity, roboports and nightvision comes to mind.

I spam trees over the worst areas that are frequently in my view. But you need a loooot of trees to hide the horrors completley. And allso you can only plant trees in person, not from remote view or from a spidertron... Atleast I don't know any way to do it remotley.

The "correct" thing to do would have been to expand the factory to make the reseach go faster, but I just couldn't be bothered. :oops:
