Re: Version 2.0.20

Please change the icons back. They look ugly and I can't revert my save file to an older version. I'm doing an acheivement run without mods otherwise I'd install a cosmetic mod. 11-20-2024, 01-49-33.png Can you be more specific? I was actually recently approving these, and I find it to be an improv...

Re: How to handle manual copper-wire connections?

Found out how to do this thanks to darkfrei. In Entity code: auto_connect_up_to_n_wires = 0 -- for Factorio 2.0 - Space Age see https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ConnectionBox/discussion/673534e00d7004a362eb2894 Problem with the new method, is that now one cannot tell if new power pole is placed close e...

Re: Rocket silo should have a 2x2 area exclusive for rocket parts, and the rest should be for inserting into the rocket

After running afoul of this one myself, I went ahead and made a mod. It uses three separate new intermediates that you can choose to use, or not, to try to stay as compatible as possible with whatever existing rocket setup someone might have, and also still gain any benefits for making the rocket p...

Re: Main bus newbie question

Hi, I've played a LOT of Factorio, but never really progressed beyond spaghetti phase :D WIth lots of manual insertion. My question is: When you make a main bus - let's say left to right (eastwards), that kind of locks you into expanding ever westwards in search of more resources, doesn't it? Becau...

Re: Beacon diminishing returns

I have not used Beacons in 2.0, and it seems like months or years since I have used them in Factorio 1.1.
So have not noticed the differences. Maybe I should look at the wiki.

So what are some 'use' cases for Factorio 2.0? Is the new Quality thing making Beacons less useful?

Re: Active provider (purple) chests redundant in 2.0?

Thanks Tertius. As for delivering to my Inventory: I guess I have not noticed the robots delivering too much, is because for many items I just set the lower request value but don't set the max value. I do pay a lot of attention on many items and set the upper limit so have no issue with those. Also ...

Re: Simplify inventory sounds (more like 1.1) or add option

I have been using the VolumeControl Mod to deal with this in the past. But I am thinking of disabling all of the UI sounds. I would rather just hear ambient sounds, and various machines when I get close to them.

Re: Robots stuck in air

Or maybe they are waiting to charge first. I think their need to charge has priority over delivering items.

Re: Active provider (purple) chests redundant in 2.0?

Am I missing something, or is a purple chest now just a requester chests with "trash unrequested" and no requests? Sure there's a visual difference which could contribute to understandability, but everything else in factorio seems to trend toward single items with multiple modes, and purp...

Re: [2.0.x] Offshore pump not buildable on pipe with liquid other than water

change fluid_box.filter = "water" to something else? like lava or lava-hot
I think lava is considered a water tile.

Block thread of Foe

In Steam, threads are hidden from those I have blocked. It would be nice to be able to do that on these forums. At the minimum, there would be a text saying that this thread was created by someone on my 'Foe' list. Would make it easier to ignore the thread and move on. Currently, I have to open the ...
