Re: How do you guys usually find new mods or stuff like what you already use?

Welcome to the forums!
I find the mod portal somewhat of a cross between a treasure vault and the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts - piled high with stuff, some of immense value, some junk, things you don't know you need, and everything you always wanted all jumbled together. And every day it grows ...

Voice alarms

TL;DR
Ability for the programmable speaker to read messages not just blare alarms.

What?
Add the option for the programmable speaker to read icons (not arbitrary text as words, just icons) like iron-plate and bioflux.
The simplest voice alarm would read the control for the speaker, for example ...

Re: The quality system needs a redesign


I'm increasingly considering just disabling the "quality" expansion in my next playthrough

Side note: the recycler is part of the quality mod, so the Space Age mod requires it (in order to deal with Fulgora). Playing without quality means remembering not to research the very first quality ...

Re: Show more precise numbers when hovering achievement progress

Yep and once you can do it for achievements do it for every number. Number shows as 3M, hover over number, number shows as 3,125,691. Doesn't matter if it is the contents of a chest, of a train, of a belt, of a foundry, just make the hover tooltip able to show precise numbers.

Re: Decider Combinator converts one signal to another now?

You have set the combinator to output the RED input COUNT as the output value for S. The red input count is 46, it is outputting S with a value of 46, exactly as it should. If you want the output count of the green wire, change the checkbox for the output from red to green.

Re: Fully limiting inventory of Asteroid Collector doesn't behave properly

The arms still pick up chunks the same way inserters pick up items from belts before they realize the chest is full. If I want to limit an AC, I set the filter to prometheum which works until you are past the edge of the solar system.
Edit: I just checked and the only option other than valid ...

Welcome engineer!
I think of Factorio not so much as difficult, as rich... rich in complexity, in depth, in possibilities.
So general insights and thoughts...

Practice! Once you have built a basic circuit line a thousand times, you will have internalized the ratios and what works. Provided that ...

Nice idea!
I would like to see the creator's name in the table - how many of us have ships named Prometheus or Enterprise or Falcon?
It would also be very convenient if the table included a link to the post, so when I find a ship in the table I can quickly go look at it.
I would also be interested ...

Re: [2.0.42] Platform ignores time passed wait condition

I am fine with the current behaviour, I just swapped the two Vulcanus stops so first without unloading it waits until all requests are satisfied, then it moves to the unloading stop. This way no rockets are on the way while it drops the carbon and leaves after 5 seconds as I wanted.

Unlock trigger technologies after first run through

I suggest that you only have to unlock research trigger technologies once. Once blueprints are unlocked the first time you get to construction robots, in ...

Don't get me wrong, train groups are a great new feature. However, when you want a complicated train and oh I love my complicated trains, it would be so nice to define schedule sets (nice name by the way) for one or more of the stops in a schedule, and then cherry pick which sets get re-used in ...

It would be great to have a control option when the tank is connected to the circuit network. Right now the only 'option' is to read the tank contents. It would be so nice to set a circuit condition to purge the tank or purge the fluid network (the two options that are now available manually). Then ...

Re: Idea: Mark Drill etc. for Deconstruction Conditionally

This would be cool! And then you could read the contents of a belt and if the belt was empty and the drill was gone, mark the belt for deconstruction! And when all the drills and all the belts are gone then mark the loading station for deconstruction! I love it!
