Isn't this already possible? Just stick the chests in another chests with an inserter next to a belt, voila chests on belt. He wants to put chests with items on the belt itself, not chests as items. I see. It should work with the barrels at any rate. The filled barrels are items that should be able...

When you have a base with 50+ roboports you'll also have them made in an assembler

I just saw this: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2600&p=27164#p27164 The assembly in the center shows up a sign "+20%". I mean this would be really useful, to see in the alt-mode which entity has modules inside and how much it is extended/buffed... I'd more l...

Indeed, for small sections removing all affected pipes and then replacing them is the quickest though. I have some mixed results with trying to use pumps on water, it seems to work far better on the oil derivatives.

Leave the pick alone, you don't even use after the first 5 minutes why is it such a big deal? You use it for the entire game. It increases the mining speed when you pick up of all of your buildings, not just resources. And that doesn't make much sense. It's just a nuisance for when it breaks atm, i...

Nice, I'm a big fan of the compact design

I admit I'm not a great driver, but I don't see how anyone is driving around anywhere. All of my worlds seem to be endless dense forests. Can't even run without chucking grenades to clear the way :x If I have to get out of the car constantly, then what is the point? Even 'shotgun railroading' seems ...

How about a new type of worm that has long range, goes for turrets firsts and does lots of damage but cant hit a moving target to save it's life? This wouldn't make it harder for the player to fight but would take out turrets from long range preventing the turret creep. They could have high HP too ...

Also agreed, the focus of the game is not about mining by hand anyway. If Minecraft wouldn't be a thing I doubt it'd be there in the first place. And yeah, this also slowed my first game down quite a bit. If the devs have any interest in making the early game get more interesting faster this would b...

Of course or do you mean the game ends with building the rocket defense? :) I had to smile when the rocket defense was just a white block with "Rocket Defense" written on it :) Pretty sure it's impossible to do a more placehoder-y thing for "endgame content" than this :D It stil...

Fully upgraded combat shotgun with piercing shells does a decent job, if you can fully hit them. When they are chasing I usually resort to throwing grenades as fast as they go to thin the pack a little. Also very hand to clear a path through the trees.

It is nice, but the Rocket defense and probably some more items like Power armor mk2 etc. have some 'hidden requirements' Not for the research, but they are there if you want to build it.

Player position/movement seems to play a huge role in determining when the biters unfreeze. Often the biters are only frozen if you stand where you are, sometimes if you stay on the left side of biter it'll remain frozen and the moment your X position goes to right side of the biter it wakes up aga...

Well, it is kind of balanced by that stone patches currently are very small. I've mined out at least half a dozen in my 50 hours game (0.9.8) and still looking for more, just to build walls and track. Yes it's not needed for enough recipes. But on the other hand its used by 2 that will take as much ...

That would be amazing. Currently it's still not too bad with a 30MB save and a momentary pause, but it's only going to get worse obviously. Would be great if it could be in the background entirely.

I believe that this game would be better served emphasizing the construction aspect. It's amazing at building a factory. No other game does it better. There are thousands and thousands of games which do combat better. Of course combat should be improved, but it should not be a focal point in any way.

Wait, but if trees consume pollution (assumably CO2) then shouldn't they thrive in heavily polluted areas?

On the other hand, it would be an extremely convenient way to get rid of trees

Give turrets an "initialisation" timer that prevents them from firing for 10 seconds after they've been built. I don't think that will do much. The standard tactic is building the turrets a little back anyway. Again, the fix is really simple: make biters prioritise turrets & poles as ...
