It might be possible to do this with a two-in-one vehicle using a tank and a semi-invisible artillery wagon ( could display as the turret but no other interaction), the Helicopter mod uses several linked vehicles to achieve animations. The artillery could then be given a low automatic range and then...

Honestly, i wouldn't mind if blue were produced two every 12 seconds. It would fit the gap better.

Has anyone tried using this awesome fuel in a car yet? My guess is that it would take you back in time to a time before you built the car, with the aid of a tree, rock, cliff, etc.

Really liking the Splitter features, can't wait to try it out. One way to make the compression on belts work would be to use loaders. They could stack items on belts, or even make the containers work inline with belts. With boxing it would be like belt in box out, and reverse it on the other end. It...

Factorio is a game about automation and optimization. I don't see the removal of bots as they are a powerful tool for automation. I've read the first several pages, and plan to read more later, but most proposed changes to bots would likely only hurt performance. Buffing belts would bring a more bal...

Consider this, Fluid wagons currently hold 75k fluid which can be separated into up to three different types. Cargo wagons with barrels can hold 100k fluid in up to 40 varieties. Back in 0.12 a practical wagon would be half full and half empty barrels, meaning that on a practical level it is easy to...

Compression: Sideloading should remain as it is used extensively with splitters Inserters are fine not compressing, and the underground trick should stay removed as this behavior should be consistent on all belt types Logistics: Providers priority should be: Active>Storage>Buffer>Passive Request pri...

It seems to me it would make more sense to allow the program to create the map. Then allow a limited visual of the players starting area. Allow the player to pick the spot for him to begin in. Rather than having program pick the spot, design the area, just keep the player off an island. I've seen t...

I think having it visible when hovering over a segment of rail would be a good idea. It would only have to show that block and connected other blocks. If it becomes an option for a whole screen, map view might be too big, but a similar toggle for non-map view would fit.

I'm not familiar with the inner workings of reactors IRL, but why worry about radiation exposure if its just going back in the core anyway?

I had the same thought and did a search to see if anyone suggested this already. Disabling use of productivity modules in the Kovarex Process just seems like a quick fix to me rather than a solution. The Net Gain effect would require changing the mechanic to work for looping recipes, but it would no...

Simple idea really, but use a fuel canister to make fuel cells which is then regained when spent fuel is reprocessed. I'm sure this idea is nothing new, so i'm surprised there isn't a mod already. Big advantage is that it would keep iron from being consumed by a nuclear reactor past the initial setu...

There are a lot of all-on/all-off systems but not adaptable ones. I created this adaptable nuclear setup that automatically fuels enough reactors for a base, adjusting to different loads. Design Goals: 1. be adaptable -- automatically changes based on power demand 2. simple -- requires little circui...
