Did you ever heard about the industrial ropeway conveyors? Those cargo aerial tramways can constantly move the huge amount of the resources above the ground, ignoring all of the terrain obstacles. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/Kalklinbanan-Granhammar.jpg/640px-Kalklinbana...

The Factorio-style automation theme is very popular in these series:

Please add to the receivers the rail signal. It will help A LOT with the train managing.

But it's strange issue. I'm pretty sure that this belt worked fine in the previous versions. It happened in 0.11.

It still exists ingame.
I met this bug with the copper plates on the express belt in 0.11.7

Have you ever heard about the old Czech animated series "Pat a Mat"? The series is about the two handyman neighbours facing mostly self-made problems, trying to solve them using crazy tools and constructions. This leads to even more problems and yet, eventually, the two manage to get a wor...

When you cancel the deconstruction on the transport belt - it causes the item stuck. How to reproduce: 1. Put the transport belt in the loop, with the items moving around. 2. Take the deconstruction planner and select only part of the loop. 3. The selected belt stops, and items will stop at the begi...

Thank you for the new player running animation.
Player looks very cool now!

So maybe this solution would be better:
Tree health bar visible only in the detailed view mode.

It's something about 210 MW now. I expanded the factory today.

I think that slow regeneration of tree health would be better solution for these ugly bars.

If do you like Red Alert 2 game and you don't like current dummy texture of the rocket defense I have something for you:

Some time ago I made a very huge facility for automated producing of rocket defenses, when I realize that I can't assembly them in the machine. Now in 0.11.5 it's possible, so I completed it! Now it makes about one Rocket Defense per hour. All possible assembling machines and furnances are fully fil...

Assembling machine 3 has up to 6 ingredient slots, so it can make any recipe in its category. Now we can mass produce rocket defense. :D Oh yes! I made a very huge facility to mass producing of rocket defenses, when I realize that I can't assembly them in the machine. Now my facility can be complet...

No. It's a problem on the big stations in the huge rail network with the multiple kinds of trains in motion.

The high-res image of the tank is great!
Could we get more tank shots from the Blender? These shots would be great to advertise the game!


I think that "artwork" page would be ideal to publish the high-res model images: https://www.factorio.com/artwork

I agree with that. This forum needs a simple link to main site.
Turning this "www.factorio.com" into the link would be easiest and the best way.

Maybe ability to creating waypoints would be better.

I remember this place in Prague. I was there two years ago, when I was looking for the artifacts of the "Prague pneumatic post" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_pneumatic_post).
I think it's one of the most interesting things in this city if you like technical trivias.
