a thing about beacons i usually had trouble with: when you dont use them they still consume power. so the obvious solution is to use power switches. but with that you get multiple screens worth of blinking "power not connected" warning signs on the beacons/assemblers. it would be really ni...

Can you think of any other improvements we can make to it?

Please add the ability to read missing material for construction from roboports via the circuit network

Please add "missing material for construction" from roboports to the circuit network. so we can deliver missing materials with trains to unfinished or damaged outposts

[...] By the way, as someone who enjoys trains quite a lot and spends a lot of time around them I suggest adding a faint 'metal screeching' noise as they go around corners. Because the wheels will be grinding up against the rails themselves. Oh and lastly (and certainly most importantly), can we ge...

Dark magic or not, how would you reasonably draw 5 barrels on top of each other? Items like these have been "conveniently" left out this dev diary.

Psh, simplest thing in the world:

i want this in the game

Great Changes!
Also please add "missing materials for construction" to roboport circuit network output.

Time limited surfaces are realized in this mod: Warptorio2
Maybe this is a good starting point to take some inspiration from and to port it to a clusterio server?

thanks!

Hello,
is it possible to hide the gui?
I have some mods that create gui elements that are in front of the debug information:

is there a way to hide/show the gui elements?

Great news!
You can always expect the best from the Factorio devs!

Maybe we can get tunnels or rail bridges in the future too?

On a different note, the all caps yelling by the developer comes across, to me, as extremely unproffesional.

Stop posting blatant lies!
Where did this happen? Provide a link.

If you make the robots themselves smarter, can you make roboports smarter too?
Like having a output to report missing construction materials to the circuit network. This would make outpost base construction so much easier.

Seems like you have to rethink your setup

Intentionally not using repair packs to avoid robots dying in the fire, only replenishing them when the walls are completely damaged

thats why i use fireproof bots all the time

A good way to find "no path" errors is to open the train gui and then trying to send it to a temporary location. just hold ctrl while in the gui and move the mouse along the track. you will see where your train can go or cant go. 2023-08-01 03_51_10-Factorio 1.1.88.png in case of your uran...
