The range_modifier of cannon shells only extends the range of the gun that's shooting them; for ammo with directional targeting this means that range_modifier value doesn't have any (significant?) effect in vanilla games.

However, when using automatically firing cannons, the range_modifier of 125 ...

Changing output_inventory_slots of agricultural towers currently (2.0.28) has no effect ingame. I'm not sure if this counts as a bug, documentation issue or a feature request, but I tried adding a "planter tower" that couldn't harvest anything (to allow a separate tower to harvest plants planted by ...

Not having to micromanage mixed cargos is a big part of the point of small rockets!

If you had rockets with 0.1 tons capacity, you could use these to fulfill all the small orders - instead of 50 inserters, you'd only send up 5 per rocket, so you'd have far less overhead - and it wouldn't feel bad ...

A silo with cheaper/quicker to build rockets doesn't accomplish the same purposes as different capacities though.

Cheap small capacity rockets could be used to send up items that aren't needed in large quantities (eg. inserters and splitters for a space station), or even (with more complex modding ...

Otherwise, I guess it might be possible to implement a lua workaround without dev help by setting the "universal rocket capacity" to the lowest common multiple of all the different actual rocket capacities, and then using fake entities to implement an "loss ratio" - ie. if the heavy rocket has a ...

Per prototype values is not likely to ever happen. The entire system was built with "one rocket capacity" in mind and would be a substantial rework if even possible to rework to account for variable rocket payloads.

For example - the tooltip that shows rocket capacity for a given item. If there ...

TL;DR
Allow configuration of rocket capacity per rocket, instead of globally.


What?
Move the capacity configuration for rockets from utility-constants to the rocket silo (or rocket?) prototype.

One possible complication is the orbital logistics system - how should requested deliveries be ...

Has anyone done a book of M-N flow routers? I used a 4-6 flow router for the input sides of my universal smelter, and think that there are other use cases where they are important.

Obviously, a 6-6 flow router could be used as a 4-6 or a 6-4 as well, but a design with fewer splitters/priorities ...

Removing a parametrized entity from a blueprint makes its "parametrization" configuration invalid (ie. parameters for values that were present only in that entity will be discarded on saving the blueprint, even if other parameters use them as "formula" inputs), yet you can still edit these ...

I just lost a great deal of customizations because I didn't know factorio deleted old versions...
*please* consider at least warning before deleting unzipped mods.

Another suggestion is a dynamic turret ammo request amount: depending on the evolution factor, the amount of ammo requested should always be 2 times of the 'low ammo' warning amount. This is especially useful when crating ammo - having 150 (full turret inventory + 50 in logistic chest) crates ...

It would be nice if the ammo alert could be customized further - for example, turrets that never had any ammunition should not create emergency warnings. Also, there are some modded turrets (like cannon turrets without cannon magazines) which can only hold a limited number of shots - if a type of ...
