Remember that campaign level where you produce a bunch of ammo and weapons and stockpile some raw materials so you'll have a stock to live on during the next level? There were even blueprints which allowed to skip research if I remember correctly. Not blueprints like the ones we have for easy constr...

That's just your subjective opinion. I look at it and I like what I see. Well then THIS is YOUR subjective opinion: The battery looks exactly like a real life battery you can buy at the super market in mint condition What? I don't buy those batteries! The shops where I go don't even put this thing ...

How the hell was it out of place?] I already told you: Because it looks like taken straight form a sales catalog picture. The battery looks exactly like a real life battery you can buy at the super market in mint condition while everything else in the game looks like halfhazardly thrown together sc...

Wait what? This is discussion is a thing???

The previous battery looked absolutely awful and out of place. Like taken straight from a sales catalog.

So with new walls, turrets are just begging to be put on top of the walls as a strong foundation for them. I came here to compliment the Devs on how awesome the walls are, and to ask this same question! So can we please be able to stick turrets ontop of walls? Does anybody remember Earth 2160? Wall...

This update <--- When?

I very much like this idea. Would make my recent blueprints easier because I wouldn't have to instruct people on how to construct and schedule trains to make the example function. I'd also be able to drop blueprints of large stackers already full of trains ready to go. But trains aren't static item...

You can copy paste those settings from a pre-existing train. Yes, of course. But what train when you moved all your blueprints to a new game or shared them with strangers and friends on the internet? I could upload my blueprint books to a steam guide right this second and everything would work righ...

What about blueprints of trains? I mean anyone who has worked with circuit network to micromanage their trains (even if it's just to use generic station names) knows that trains can require very setup specific conditions to work properly. Sometimes these condition become very complex if you use them...

So basically the question is whether to make blueprints first class pointers or references. Why not give us both? :D To be serious though I think going along the lines of proposal 3 is the best choice. Why not just fix syncing problems between 2 worlds by closing that second, uneccessary world? Simp...

Playing in multiplayer, it would be really awesome if there was a way to stop personal roboports from interfering with other players blue prints and deconstruction orders. 1) It's really annoying for the other player if he keeps reworking a setup or blue print and I accidentially bump into his area ...

Let's give this a final bump since GUI rework is on the way. Really hope you awesome devs neither missed this nor that it is already too late to add.

GUI rework Please make this a part of your GUI redesign: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=57534 There is a lot that can be done right or wrong about GUIs but the most fundamental flaw is when your GUI doesn't support the typical workflow of your user. I dare say, "editing&quo...

Had to read mrvn's post to make any sense of that but thanks for your effort guys.

You've inspired me to build more naturally looking factories in the future and explore design patterns which make the process of expanding with new techs much more organic. Love this game. Horizontal lines are more pleasing to the eyes you say? Kinda always had a gut feeling telling me that and I di...

Wait... there is a winning condition? Huh...

I'm just here to build stuff I haven't built yet or take stuff I have actually built but make it better. It's an endless list of goals and I've yet to see the end of it appear on the horizon.

1) Break force Tanks should either have a better break by default or benefit from the Breakforce Research (have their own version of it worst case). I'd like the tank to allow for faster reactions and sharper control especially when it comes to emergency breaking. At the very least, you should be a...

I've been working to solve this via circuits all this time and then it hit me: You can solve it really easily within the train network itself! Say you have a stacker followed by several unloading stations. If the whole setup is about hadnling a single type item (e.g. only copper ore) you can simply ...

More than the lamp staggering I miss lamps turning on when darkness creeps in. Every dawn and dusk there is a time when sunlight is dim but lamps are switched off. It's kinda annoying
Wish I could change it with circuits.

First of all, I apologize for any potential snarkyness. I've been making this experience for a long time now and it's getting really frustrating. Basic Blueprinting workflow FACTORIO_WORKFLOW_1.png Great. Your GUI perfectly supports this. Now compare to this and note where the problem is: Actual Blu...
