Did you resolve the track selection issue? I have an idea regarding track selection if you are still stuck. The problem I see is that directional controls via A D are quite limited. A solution I saw in a Minecraft mod called Chisel & Bits is a selection wheel around the cursor. Basically a segme...

TL;DR Paint-able belts (all) to make them easier to tell apart in complicated setups What ? This would have only cosmetic effects on the belts but help to organise them. Belts can be recoloured to visually distinguish them. The 'paint' comes off when the belt is removed. Note that this does not aff...

It doesn't necessarily have to have any change beyond cosmetic. Just to have some visual variety and make it easier to distinguish one train from another.

The problem is this frequently results in parts of the panel being cut off the bottom of the screen such as machine energy display meaning I can't tell if the machine is getting enough power (I'm ...

Makes sense. A similar function already happens with belts when another object is obstructing.

So I fired up Factorio after not playing it for a while and started a new game. Usual stuff, researched stone walls, placed some, saved, exited. When I returned to the game the research was reset so had to research that again, though the ones I'd placed were still present. Researched, save, lost res...

Oh wow. I have two trains on my network and they're only semi-automatic as I keep having issues with signal hold-ups.

This is the setup I tried.

I am trying to set up a network of assembly machines and I'm having trouble getting items automatically from: Assembly machine to asssembly machine (lvl2) Assembly machine to lab Currently I keep having to manually intervene as the inserters don't do anything. Did I miss a trick? https:...
