TL;DR
Add a patch to rails that hides gravel under concrete/brick flooring


What ?

Instead of having rails be entirely above flooring tiles, they could be given a patch to their sprites to hide some or all of the ballast and sleepers ...

I'm trying to implement a way for machines to disable if there's too many beacons surrounding it, but the following function isnt working.
script.on_event(defines.events.on_built_entity, function(event)
local machine = event.created_entity
if machine.prototype.allowed_effects == true then
if ...

TL;DR
Buff Efficiency modules to make them inline with how speed and productivity modules progress, and to make them more worthwhile.


What ? [EDIT: Easier to read now]
Speed module: 20% -> 30% -> 50% speed; improved by 50%, then by 67%
Productivity module: 4% -> 6% -> 10% productivity; improved ...

I wonder if you could make it so that bots would have to maneuver around each other to avoid overlapping, like with biters/players. a means of nerfing them in a way so that "Just adding more bots" couldn't be the answer.

Could the artilery count as automated biter clearing?

Just make sure you guys don't forget to update some of the icons to match the in game entities (specifically, the tech and achievement icons involving trains still use the old train model)

I tried that and it said:

Yep, that worked!!

Ok, what the hell is going on here? This has popped up after disabling my mods, eventually deleting them, and even reinstalling the game!

I doubt an object in a video game that resembles the most primitive nuclear device ever would be threatening.

Great job doing it with no blue belts!

There, fixed! Although I'm pretty sure it is actually the 5th level

So, how exactly do you not suffocate in that base?

Not exactly "high performance". Ammo needs high performance. And a slow ass fab isnt exactly this. What does it produce for a 0,1/s pumpjack?

Well, it's one refinement of oil every 100 seconds, giving 3 light/heavy oil and 4 petrol each time. so .03 L/H, and .04 P or .02 solid fuel per second ...

After seeing this, its clear that there really needs to be LEGO Factorio sets, that would just be awesome!

I could picture a few different scenarios, such as a roboport or a small assembly line/oil refinery with pipe bits. or even biters out of small bits and their nests.
I NEED IT!

Just a little thing that I thought would be nice to share, seeing as not many people seem to give it attention:

The fifth and final level of the "Transport Belt Madness" Campaign, please observe...

Wait, there isn't the "surprise with 8-10 legs" anymore. Are you guys ditching the spidertron concept?

My idea is that you would see locked recipes if the research is available. With your accumulator example, it would appear with the "locked" icon once the prerequisite researches are unlocked, and mousing over it would say "Required research: electric energy accumulators " with a mini image of the ...

Fun Fact: The research for grenade damage 5 doesn't exist!

It seems that 0.14.14 has issues for realism in itself.
