Stacked Belts should be their own item.
TL;DR The stacked belts should be their own set of belt, splitters and undergrounds, instead of depending on inserters. What ? The belts shown in FFF 393 should be their own set of items, that are dedicated to the purpose, with all inserters that have a stack capacity greater than one able to place...

Re: The Productivity Cap and why the FFF #375 recycler shouldn't be introduced
I think a very nice option would be to limit the recycler to final products, which can't take productivity modules. The reason would be much less the productivity cap, but opening up the space for alternate recipes as has been mentioned in a recent friday facts, for which the recycler is an issue as...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality
I'm trying to still figure out why the quality system is bothering me so much. First off, the names are bad, really bad, and make no sense at all, but that is really a superficial issue. One thing is that the graphics seem to become confusing. Everything can have quality overlays, and that is an iss...

[1.1.61] Absolute grid position not updating grid box placement
This is a very small bug, but when changing the offset of the absolute grid position, the corresponding box placement still snaps to the old value if the blueprint contains rails that force the blueprint onto a 2x2 scale. The values can still be manually edited, but any change of the selected compon...

Re: Stack Size Virtual Value for Signals
There is at least one mod that includes a stacksize combinator already: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/utility-combinators-plus The mod only provides the stack sizes in a constant combinator. You'll need to extract the right signal, convert it into an appropriate constant and then multiply/divide yo...

Re: Friday Facts #339 - Beacon HR + Redesign process
I think the fundamental issue is that 'beacon' does not map well to 'long lines' ever. I think the best way to make beacons look better is preventing their effects from infinitely stacking, and ensuring that the beacons are outnumbered by the assemblers/furnaces/refineries. The picture with the furn...

Re: Include dominant recipe in default blueprint icons
I would consider prioritizing high level recipes over low level ones. So a 3 cable -> 2 green circuit build should show the green circuits first, even though they are in the minority.

Re: Roboports should output missing materials to circuit network
If anyone is interested in this behavior, I made a mod that adds a combinator that performs exactly this. (I am afraid I have no clue how to hack into the roboport)

Re: Friday Facts #214 - Concrete rendering
The tiles look really nice... they just don't have the 'industrial' feel. The main reason I prefer concrete over stone tiles is that the concrete looks much flatter, much more like a factory floor than a hand assembled path. For me I'd much prefer even completely untiled, flat, poured concrete. Both...
