[REQUEST] Depot train prioritization based on cargo

Howdy, I have a feature request with depots. I'll frequently get trains with some left-over resource in it. It would be nice if depots, perhaps with an optional signal, could choose a train with leftover cargo to the corresponding provider. For example, if I have two trains in a depot, one with some...

[15.38] Train contents not matching "read from train"

Howdy. When I hover over the locomotive, it reads "Fluid wagon contents: 1.8". When I hover over the fluid wagon, it reports "0.6, 0.6, 0.6", respectively. My signal from "read from train" reports 0. My guess is that each individual container of the fluid wagon reports ...

Minimap: set map mode position where clicked on minimap

Whenever you click on the minimap, it switches you to map mode over your current player character's location. It doesn't matter where you click on the minimap, the positioning of the map mode is the same. The suggestion is to continue switching to the map mode, but place the center point to that of ...

Re: [MOD 0.12.26] Picker: Easily select items from inventory

Howdy. Will you add a mod option (map) to disable notes and signs, please? I like Picker for QoL, but I don't like it adding extra in-game items or tech clutter.

Re: [MOD 0.15.x] NPUtils 2.27

Howdy. I've started my first ever game with NPUtils. I know very little about the mod and am purposefully not reading about everything it adds... I want the experience to be a bit like playing Factorio for the first time. :) One thing that struck me odd, though, was that with the NPUtils tech tree, ...

Re: Friday Facts #212 - The GUI update (Part 1)

I feel like it would make more sense to design a route, and then assign that route to one or more trains. You could keep a set of routes like a set of blueprints. Keeping with the pattern of Factorio,it might fit better if you make a schedule on a train and then save it as a route blueprint. You ca...

Re: Friday Facts #210 - Circuit connector module implementation

The graphical work continues to impress.

For the LEDs, I didn't even realize there was a blue LED until I read it in the text, and even then I had to search for the two blue LEDs. The color choice is, at least for me, unfortunate.

Re: [0.15.10] Low Resource "size" setting can reduce effective frequency significantly

Less frequent means it doesn't show up as often. Less size means they're smaller and don't show up as often, apply either to a resource we've already tweaked to not be that common on normal settings means you almost never see them. Taking off your developer hat for a moment and putting on the custo...

Re: [0.15.10] Low Oil = No Oil

Edit: It seems that the size setting for the oil fields has influence on patches being created at all, or in other words there is a high chance when choosing the very small size that most of the fields will have no oil patches at all. Yeah, that's pretty much the conclusion I came to toward the end...

Re: [0.15.10] Low Oil = No Oil

There's definitely something wonky with the generator. I disabled all my mods (none should affect resource generation) and created the same settings and nothing. I then loaded the map exchange string from the previous post. No oil in the starting area nor in any starting areas when I "Restart&q...

[0.15.10] Scroll-wheel on Advanced Settings ineffective

I would expect the scroll wheel to increase the sliders by 1 gradient, but it's all over the map depending on the scrollbar you scroll. For instance, the Evolution scroll bars all jump between 0 and their respective maximum values. Maximum expansion distance is especially wonky. The default is 7. He...

[0.15.7][Rseding] Cannot load fuel into trains

The inserters are not loading--at least solid fuel--into the train engines, anymore. I know the trains were stopped properly, too, because the pumps engaged and u...

Good deal. This weekend (Sunday planned) I'm going to publish the updated version. The community tools I use to test belt compression have been updated, so I should be able to validate its functionality.
