The problem I have with this is mostly the Cut, Copy, paste, and Undo icons that get disabled when I create a new Offline game. I have played well over 6000 hours and I am not a New User. Saving some of these values in the Registry or a file would help prevent this. If it is in the Registry, I can ...

What if you are stranded in a train above a lake, and the trains around you are out of fuel so you can't walk your train to solid ground without plowing through other trains. Are you stuck, or can you parkour from train to train? They said you can do remote driving. I assume the "player pushes...

Floating point error: Shown easily with the following setup: Assembler 3s with 4 Prod 3s. 8 Speed 3 Beacons per assembler. 7.7 Vanilla Red Science per second should need 5 assemblers. Helmod says 6. Floating point issue confirmed by asking for 7.69r Red Science per second. You can set the precision...

The thing is that "item=" is the default of the icon selector. In cases where it displays text besides the image you can hide the text by using "img=". Which I think is only in chat messages now that I think about it. So don't go trying this out in places where you don't have tex...

Coal Liquefaction in Factorio is modeled on the Fischer–Tropsch process , and this process is running with temperatures between 150–300 °C. Higher temperatures don't just yield more, it's producing different output. Usually even less desired output. Factorio's simulation should not leave its real w...

Something like this? timed-signal.png 0eNq9l92OmzAQhd/FtyWr8E9QtVL7BL3IXVUhAk4yEhhkTNQo4t1rQyAEEjreTXsTycE+jM83MzYXsstqWnJggoQXAknBKhL+vJAKDizO1H/iXFISEhA0JwZhca5GPIaMNAYBltLfJDSbXwahTIAA2q1vB+eI1fmOcjlhWKneIGImVkmR74DFouBStiwqubZg6oVSz/XeXIOcSWi7b658TQqcJt1zy1ASghdZtKPH+ARyvVy0h0xQ/iT2E3BRy3+GILoZq...

Is "Trains on the way" a list of all trains headed to a station with the same name or only trains headed to this exact station? When I rename a station and it is the only station with that name then the schedule of trains is changed to the new station. But when there are multiple stations ...

I love that you play with double headed trains. But have you ever build stations like this? train-deadlock.png Train stations can be palindrom. By having 2 stops trains can enter from either side and the cargo or fluid wagons are at the same location both ways (assuming your trains cargo and fluid w...

You can enter or One is with text and the other without. Sadly only one you can select with the icon selector, you have to type in the other (or use the RichTextHelper mod). At least in chat you have that behavior.

If only there where instant through holes. A wire with one side red and the other side green. :) I could suggest an arithmetic combinator set to Each+0=Each to accomplish that. ;) That's not instant. That's got a delay of 1 tick. I have a feeling the devs will not want to add anything that can take...

There could be different icons for stacked things. For ores and sand the icons could be a piles of different size. For steel the icons would look more like steel next to each other instead of on top. Steel is so heavy that a few beams are a lot already and just one layer of beams is plenty for a tru...

(My own opinion is that even 'S', let alone 'SS' or 'SSS', is symptomatic of unplanned extensions to a range. You designed a range with, say, 'A' to 'D', and then find later that you need a higher grade than 'A', so have to improvise. Adding such things in at the start is pointless.) You don't watc...

A --no-mods or --edit-mods option could be nice. As well as --sync-mods FILE.

Best I have for playing different set of mods is:

bin/x64/factorio --mod-directory <path to games mods>

You shouldn't use chains before splits.

Can you back that up with any test data? How much throughput does it cost to have chain signals before the splits?

Changing the graphics I think would be the least problem. I'm pretty sure there are lots of cases where the code basically reads: for (i = 0; i < 2; ++i) { ... } instead of for (i = 0; i < MAX_WIRES; ++i) { ... } . That goes for mods too. As for overcomplicating ... I would guess the opposite: &quo...

The idea of wireless data transmission has been on my mind for years. I'm even surprised that the development team didn't come up with it much earlier. There is a lot of fun in laying wires. But it is tiring, and sometimes you opt for the simple solution of not laying wires, relying on simple thing...

First I would just want to have 3 or 4 colors for the wire. The interface already has 2 so enlarging that to 4 should not be such a daunting path. Oh, yeah, definitely. Having a couple of extra circuit network channels would be nice. But I suspect that the idea may get turned down as overcomplicati...

When a train arrives at the intersection it will have a path already picked to cross it and it will go past the first signal. At that point the path is locked in, there is no way the train can repath when there is congestion to drive around a blockage. Like I previously said, when a train's braking...

It's all wrong! There's a reason why both cliffs and water follow height lines, and no reason why forests should leave convenient thoroughfares for the character's car. That said, this garden will make a much better playground than untamed wilderness. Even if it poses the question of where the gard...
