That's great that you can replace the icon in rich text but what if I use the name of the resourse such as "Iron Depot", "Copper Depot" instead of the icons. Can we have support for replacing any text in the stop names instead of just icons? So you can do "[item] Depot"...

It causes no problems, because if you don't use it then it has no effect. For those that understand it it can be a convenient way to fine tune the workings of the factory. You are allowed to see the system as beyond your mental capacities and pass on using it if it would cause you more problems tha...

A hard priority system follows the orders of the player. A soft priority system is a system which by definition will ignore the players intended behavior. Just set your priorities correctly and dynamically if fixed priorities is not aligned with your intended behavior. So what you're saying, is tha...

I'm guessing we'll be able to set stop priority with some logic,

Why guess when the FFF related to this thread answers the question?

Quick question about the priority system. Are they soft priorities, such that X task is given some kind of bonus multiplier to its priority? Or are they hard priorities, such that do all 51s first, then do all 50's next, then do all 49's next, etc.? The way it works, is that the priority of a train...

No.

Any ideas how "Ribbon world" map setting will work with Space and other Planets?

Each planet will be a ribbon world, what else could it be?

- Is the prio only used for target picking or also used in source picking? So let's say we have 5 different stations supplying X at 50/40/30/20/10 prios, will a train go to the suppliers in order of priority, assuming all stations are open etc., and will the trains then leave the station in order o...

I'm not yet convinced I can "totally make a train go to station "[A]" by sending the [A] signal to its train stop." with the information provided. That sounds like you extrapolated based on wishful thinking. From the FFF: We also have similar signals for 'Any Fluid', 'Any Fuel' ...

The splitters are configured with a GUI, and when flipped the GUI configuration for left/right input/output priority and filters swap the left/right configuration. If rail signals (and chain, stops) were changed to GUI configurations on rail pieces and then the entities were changed to just graphica...

And even with a way to route trains to stops dynamically, we might still need to design a whole central scheduling computer with combinator hashtables and whatnot, so it's not exactly making the game too easy either. I'm making the solution for that with my Combinassembly language. Of course, my su...

Could there be a case where you need different priority for incomming and outgoing trains? If so, I guess it can be done via circuitery, but a separate slider would be much easier. For a train to arrive you need a train to leave first if it's taken. If priority is lower to leave then trains will be...

So in 2.0, disabled trains stops will act as if they have 'Train limit = 0': I'm not yet convinced that the new cool interrupt features allow us to completely control trains with circuits. The interrupts and the generic signals are very cool, but with generic signals only being able to take the sig...

Easier train dispatching Another annoyance which becomes more clear with larger train systems, is the pain of creating and dispatching new trains. With the ability to blueprint trains, it is almost painless, but you still need to manually set them to automatic mode. No Longer! Now when a train blue...

2. What if there's other text in the stop name, such as the name of the item, written in the player's language? Can the placeholder match that? I don't want to lose readability by having the only unique part of the stop name being the icon, especially in modded playthroughs with lots of similar (or...

Know what you are doing though. It's a tradeoff, too high and latency does possibly decrease, but you pay with lower UPS as well. But you can set it back to default after you are done if you want to test it. This is why it's so slow for you: https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?id=80441 The...

Make a deconstruction planner filtered to only remove ghosts and zoom out on map and just remove them all then. I tried it, unfortunately the filter for ghosts in the deconstruction planner does not work to remove upgrade requests for buildings, it only removes blueprints for buildings that would b...

robots everywhere stop working until those orders are done Wrong. But having a large amount of build order within construction reach without materials will make the queue longer so it takes more time to go through the list. But that just means construction bots will react a bit slower to build requ...

And I am aware that it is a recurring request, however I wanted to suggest a solution that's more than just "enable all achievements". Just enable steam achievements and have modded achievement list merged with regular list and allow commands, cheats and editor for achievements is probabl...

In my mod, i want other mods to be able to call a function i define in the data stage to create alot of related prototypes. However, i don't think mods can communicate with each other in the data stage, only in the control stage. I would like this ability to be added to the data stage to allow othe...
