Not the same thing, but quite similar. instead of needing to test for flaws, the produced items are either flawed or not, and require recycling and reprocessing.

I still think making beacons not stack, and having a larger radius would be better. I dont particularly like how much theytend to dominate late game designs.


Still, the new design is subtle enough it doesnt take all thr attention.

If you use an active provider chest, you have to then add a method to keep the alarm going, AND if you ignore it initially (Like I do, until I get a chance to fix it) an active provider means it fills up your entire storage area eventually, depending on how bad the leak is. You are just moving the p...

I suggest against having bots clean up the chest. That would make it harder to find the problem, and the alert would go away. Having to manually fix it makes more sense, since contamination tends to keep happening if it happens once. i also prefer just locking the belt, and setting off an alarm. jam...

Ah, I understand. I would simply empty the chest after inspecting the situation and fixing the belts which lead to the contanimation. The content can be moved somewhere where it is actually needed. Once you have bots you can even turn the chest into a active provider chest to make sure it's moved t...

Why wouldnt you just have the alarm go off when something is in the chest?

Is there anything in space with a positive feedback loop? I thought absolutely everything there, aside, presumably, from asteroid mining, had a net negative due to all the 99% returns on one or more things, and forbidden productivity modules.

I suppose you could add wide area "Creep" like starcraft to biter bases, which gives an excuse for why building doesn't work, and make it many times the range of turrets, such that while you CAN use turrets to fall back to, it would be far enough to be inconvinent.

--Snip-- Really this game would run so much faster if it was in ASCII. Doubt it. Ascii games can run as slow as any modern game. After all, they only drop most of the graphics. The behind the scenes logic still eats a ton of processor time. (If that was sarcasm, I couldn't tell from your tone of te...

Its honestly more a legacy thing. I think they were plates a long time ago. Plaatic were these thin black tubes, advanced circuits were purple and honestly everything looked way different. But yes, calling it a plate is kinda weird with the current graphic. I never noticed since I just call it steel...

All I can really say is that I never felt beacons fit in the game, due to how heavily they constrained design. If they were non-stacking(two beacons in an area don't function), larger aoe, like 32x32, then I think they would be way better. And the high-tech apperance would make sense and I think add...

It would be possible. On event, check wire connections and sever offending ones.

On placing a entity of type power pole.
On robot place.
Maybe on remove as well because I think wires auto reconnect.

And on copper wire manual usage.

It should all be possible, yes.

Yes. It also means you have a spanner worth 100GJ in your inventory.

Minor detail at best.

Of course, if you use antimatter to liberate the energy tied up in said spanner, that is probably accurate..... But at that point you realize something has gone silly.

If you use the tool as long lasting fuel, then you can use the same effect nuclear fuel doea to return the broken tool.

That does prevent (I think) you from using electrical or other energy types however.

You can't mix fluids tho

That just means it doesn't have to swap recipies.


Basically this idea is to make a generic barreling recipie that makes it act like a furnace.

Honestly, this wouldn't really even do anything. The law of large numbers smooths out those variences, and if factorio has anything, it has large numbers of craft events. Past that, the existing buffers would largely hide the effect. It wouldn't even be asthetic. Belts, inserter stack size, and asse...

Why not just add the colored concrete to the base game, please? This step shouldn't take that much coding time but let us make the base a bit lesser grayish. I actually wouldn't want that. It would be yet another item that doesn't add value to the game outside of ascetics. I think colored concrete ...

How do you get the resin then?

Same with the meter being defined by the speed of light and so on. A solution to this question exists already and has been applied: They voyager probes come with a gold plate which illustrate the location of earth. Distances from different pulsars are given in units of the fundamental transition wa...

Your informations are outdated. One second is the time that elapses during 9,192,631,770 (9.192631770 x 10 9 ) cycles of the radiation produced by the transition between two levels of the cesium 133 atom (Wikipedia). Therefore, a lightsecond is independant of earth system. Same for light minute, li...
