I chose Gleba first, because I wanted to get its rewards (rocket turret, advanced asteroid processing, epic quality) before going anywhere else. About two weeks real time after landing (averaging several hours a day) I'm still there, have got a reliable ore-producing factory set up, currently still ...

I did actually originally want to suggest adding a "Rocket part assembler" entity, which'd be a standard 3x3 assembler with a different look that would only allow placement directly adjacent to a rocket silo - then, rocket part ingredients would have to be inserted into the assembler, whil...

What: If an inserter is pointing to a rocket silo, you should be able to click on the inserter and then configure it to either: 1. Insert into recipe ingredients or 2. Insert into cargo. Why: Currently this is a Bad New Player* Experience. *of Space Age at least As described here , and also here , c...

One thing I would love to see would be a rail planner that allowed you to plan long distance rails with multiple parallel tracks and the ability to separately (and/or together) route around trees, rocks, or cliffs. Personally, I really hate harming trees, and can't harm cliffs until I have cliff ex...

What does a roundabout look like now? I'd like to see this too. My standard rail building method one I've not really seen elsewhere, but I just like it: 3 tracks, 2 spaces between each, middle rail reserved for 2-way manual use, signals on the inside of the outer rails (so trains drive on the left)...

Loving the new colouring.

Perhaps darker/less saturated tones could be used when in a polluted area though? Then you would really feel the effect of destroying the native area.

I play with a self imposed challenge of avoiding chopping trees unless reasonably necessary. I don't want to accidentally destroy a tree while building rails. When you are planning a long rail line, zoomed far out, it isn't always obvious if something would be deconstructed. The previously existing ...

I love this whole idea!

Doubt this will make it into vanilla, but even a mod to do this would be fantastic.

+5 Feels very frustrating to see the devs handwave away removal of functionality as streamlining. I almost always use the "rail planner avoiding obstacles" mode, even if not to build directly in that mode, but simply to have the rail layout highlighted, while tapping shift to tell me if it...

I would also suggest making it so that if you drag a blueprint along the ground then it places copies in a straight line - and in a rectangular grid if you drag diagonally - instead of wherever. Prime example: placing long, wide areas of transport belt.

Sounds like the topic needs renaming from "Factorio needs to be brighter" to "Factorio needs a gamma slider". And with less dubious software to painstakingly rewrite all your images when you could just fiddle with the colour curves in your display settings instead. (There's a way...

By clicking the selector, you'd be acknowledging that the other controls will be disabled while you select a signal or input a constant, an action that would take tiny amounts of time if this change were implemented. No, I wouldn't be. There is no indication immediately on the signal selector that ...

+1 though I have no idea what a good name for this would be. "Show extended info" doesn't really convey its meaning either.

If right click overwrites a used slot with the item in hand, perhaps right clicking a used slot without any item in hand should also clear it? Then middle click wouldn't be needed at all.

Automatically selecting the first required field is just good UI form design. This is basic stuff. At worst, a Tab should take you to that field. it's not a required field, it's not in a form, tab changes weapon. But if it was a web doc not a game I would agree on all 3 points Why not just add an e...

I would like to propose that the square that has the number on it is draggable, and that drags the entire row as a whole. Dragging this row up or down would move the others around, like you're "inserting" the row in a different position. After the player releases the mouse button, the row...

There's really no reason it shouldn't allow as many researches queued up as you want, if it had a horizontal scrollbar.

How about a compromise that doesn't overpower hand-auto-building: Either: 1. You have to click (or click and drag over) each ghost you want to build (with no item selected), it then builds it as long as you have the item in your inventory. Or: 2. You have to walk over each ghost you want to build, t...

Ok, agreed, it was a silly idea, I hadn't thought of that. Arrow keys works I guess!
