You have clearly put a lot of thought into how quality affects game play especially for new players. It seems to me that your 'gentle tweak' is going to make a very complicated system even more complex. I am not sure how much this will benefit new players, but I am pretty sure it will make it even ...

Instead of having no wire, how about a loopback wire that connects the entity to itself and forms a circuit network?


I like the idea of being able to connect an entity to itself, the way you can loopback a combinator. I don't think it would make sense for it to happen automatically, it would be ...

Just joking, don't take this too seriously

And we all know, it's not easy being green!

No I am not able to reproduce it.
The only thing that was a little different, I had wirelessly connected the inserter to the logistics network before connecting it to the train stop to set the circuit condition.
I will try a few more things, and if I can reproduce it, I will update this post.

1. What did I do?
I connected a train stop to an inserter, with the inserter set to only turn on once a train was at the stop.

2. What happened?
The stop reported a train ID even though no train was present. (The train had been there previously.)

3. What did I expect?
I expected that the train ID ...

Factorio in a nutshell: the game that makes you so happy, you have to share!

Gemma I too started out feeling frustrated and confused. For the first time in 8K hours I downloaded a BP to get something going. I spent the next couple of weeks finding and fixing bug after bug in the BP but that is a different story. I was learning how Gleba worked. Next run, I started with ...

Would be super helpful for space platforms, given you want to limit targets so gun turrets won't go after huge, and rail guns won't go after small!

TL;DR
Have the rocket silo output crafting information, as is done for other crafting machines.

What?
The standard crafting output to the circuit network: the current contents, optionally including those currently being used for crafting (rocket parts); the rocket part recipe (for mods); the ...

I automatically go to the silo to turn on buffer chests, and think that is weird where is the buffer chest checkbox? And then I remember that the silo doesn't care if an item has been lovingly placed out of reach of regular requester chests to be reserved for important requester chests, if it can ...

It would be nice to tell the tower NOT to pick up the reeds and contaminate the fruit belt with wood LOL.

https://wiki.factorio.com/Foundry

Yes the wiki is missing holmium in the foundry entry. If you check holmium plate in the wiki, or in the ingame Factoriopedia, you can see that yes the foundry will cast holmium plates.

As I understand it, platform interrupts are like those for trains, specifically they are only checked when the platform/train is ready to leave the current stop. The exception for space platforms is travel beyond Aquilo, where they are called fly conditions, and they can check damage on the fly. For ...

This looks lovely! Well done!

Like a Tips and Tricks button for map gen!

TL;DR
Add the ability to mark a logistic request as a mixed rocket load. Multiple items are loaded into the silo and launched together, as if the player had manually loaded the items and pressed the manual launch button.


What?
When editing a logistic request from a space platform, add a tick ...

Ah the good old days when my search for the error message "there are no trains" returned no results because all the words were stripped out as common! Happy to report that at least now I get results when I search using quotation marks.

Ooooh now the agri tower is... a beacon! I like it!

is it possible to force it to leave immediately, and carry on to the next not-yet-disabled Unload stop?


Yes. Check the box on the train stop to 'send to train.' Have the train check for a circuit condition, using the same logic that disables the station. When that circuit condition is true, the ...
