I like the second solution. It would also prevent form placing ghost by accident which is annoying when you don't have robots yet.

As if players didn't already disregard iluminating their bases.
A lot of people just running around they base wearing night vision like some kind of afraid of light techno-vampires.

It would be handy.

I'm waiting for this feature since forever.

Well, they have written "Each tool will have it's own keyboard shortcut, so the tool bar will also teach players about these shortcuts through tooltips, hopefully to the point where they no longer need the tool bar." here.
Clearly a bug if there really is no hotkeys. (I didn't check.)

I would still call it a bug.
If there is some problem with processing mods, there should be a message for the user that explains that.
Game closing itself right after it is started, without any kind of information, isn't something I would call correct.

I cannot tell much about this. It's just crashed without any apparent reason. I tried to load the autosave and do more or less the same but I couldn't reproduce it. I don't have any mods enabled and I've played on this save only in version 0.17.x. (map created around 0.17.1) factorio-current.log _au...

Say you build a new mining outpost. You build the train line, add the train stop, add the roboport and release some construction bots. Now you blueprint the electric miners, power poles, belts, walls, gates, flame turrets, laser turrets as suitable for the ore deposit in question. Every deposit wil...

Many people use power armor with personal roboports as a construction suit. Isn't this what modular armour is for? Not really. You cannot put to it fusion reactor and roboport at the same time. Personal roboport is almost unusable without the reactor. On the other hand, power armor MK1 is usually s...

That bothers me as well, especially that I often play with low volume (I'm listening to something else) and I'm rarely even notice the chime.

They fade after some time.

They are quite useful to point the places when you need to invest more in your defenses.

I played a while on version 0.17 and now I switched back to 0.16.51 to check something bug the game won't start. factorio-current.log The problem seem to have something to do with mods. I've removed the folder "mods" and now the game is starting properly. Although, all mods was disabled be...

Situation from yesterday. I'm placing some rails and it turns out that I will require 3 more power poles and 5 more signals to finish it. You cannot plan for such situations. Don't you think that "cannot" is a bit too strong as a statement? (Should be in the base game IMHO.) Try to use th...

It's mapped to Alt+1/2/3 for 1/5/10 items in Hotcraft. And Q when hovering over an entity. HotCraft (and HandyHands ) are awesome, but perhaps a bit too much . Remember that Factorio is a game about automation, you're supposed to have those items built for you by your factory... especially now, whe...

Just to get it straight.
I don't vote to remove the option to have ghost hand. It's really neat to have that.
I would like to have an option to craft items from hotbar in addition to ghost hand. E.g. Shift-click to craft an item.

Burner inserters are still useful in late-game to put coal into boilers. It allows to automatically resume power production after temporary coal shortage.

"Pause" or "Postpone" would be much better that "Cancel".

Definitely this.

It's especially annoying when you are placing something which is currently in your build queue. You have to be constantly aware of number of items you have in the hand because if you place the last one, you have to drop the ghost go to your inventory/quickbar and select it again.
