Re: Friday Facts #404 - Frustration not found

Please allow the RTS Tool to also control trains. My personal train, my artillery train, my big artillery train, my builder train, all the trains! They announced "Remote Drive" for trains on the previous FFF. So no RTS Tool needed for that. Also selecting a train and sending it to a tempo...

Re: Friday Facts #404 - Frustration not found

I hope the alignment made on hand are temporary like rotation or flip of the blueprint and won't break the actual blueprint. I share my blueprints and if those position alignments are permanent, I sure people will make those changes (maybe by mistake, maybe intentionally) on downloaded blueprints th...

Re: Friday Facts #394 - Assembler flipping and circuit control

I hate that the pumpjack output always changes its position when you rotate.
With 2.0 please move the pipe exit of the pumpjack to the center to solve the inconsistencies with it.

Re: Friday Facts #394 - Assembler flipping and circuit control

I was waiting for both of these features for a long time. Configurable assemblers, flipping fluid inputs... just perfect. Thank you.

One thing still missing is being able to read a list of ghost entities from a roboport. Then everything can be automated.

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

Add Blueprints as a downloadable mod. This somewhat makes them a mod. But more importantly cool creations should be shared and this is going to create some cool stuff. Also, speedrunners can use blueprints, but not mods. I would love to have a Blueprint portal in game. That would allow blueprint de...

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

Motivation for 3b: You could have different blueprints for train unloading stations, that occur multiple times (scrollable in one blueprint book). You would be able to change the layout for all reference blueprints at once by just changing the original one, in a way that can't be done by upgrade pl...

Also, a question about the "ingredient of" feature.. How does this behave if an item has multiple recipes? For a vanilla example, if I select light oil, its ingredients might be any of heavy oil, crude oil, water, steam, or coal depending on the recipe. (From Heavy Oil cracking, Advanced ...

Re: Sort item icons in rich text by where they would appear in the inventory

Sorting by the order in crafting menu would be best.

Adding a prefix in front of each material is my hacky half baked solution for this right now. I'd love to get rid of those prefixes.

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

I'm curious as to why you didn't end up allowing entire rich string parameters. It would seem like an obvious inclusion so that you could do the entire station name in a parameter. It's not a biggie by any stretch, but my station naming scheme usually includes the actual item's name in addition to ...

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

I hope we can insert the parameters into train stop names within blueprints, so if we configure an iron plate train stop, we only have to change one parameter to iron plates and the train stop name will include the iron plate emoji They said it is possible when reconfiguring. So I believe it will b...

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

Thank you for this feature. I'm happy that this becomes a part of the vanilla with 2.0. I will definitely use this on my blueprints.

Please add parallel downloads when updating mods on mod management GUI as well.
It's currently implemented on sync mods feature when you're entering a game. But updating installed mods takes long times.

I always try to have smarter trains in Vanilla without mods like LTN or similar. These improvements are what i would ask to make it real.

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements

So we made it that interrupts are shared globally (identified by their name), and when you edit an interrupt it changes for all the trains with that interrupt. This made it much more convenient and less error prone. I didn’t understand a little, if I add an interruption, then it is automatically ap...
