That would definitely help and I actually wondered why there was no map or minimap in the editor.

You should try hardcore survival https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Mylon/Hardcore_Survival . It do exactly what you wish for being attacked at regular interval. There are a few others mods about ennemies https://mods.factorio.com/?tags=enemies I tried hardcore survival and I can say that the general i...

Hey, a friend of mine and me discussed ideas to make energy a more choice-heavy and meaningful aspect in Factorio as the current binary system. What we need is a mod that does the following things: Moves accumulators further down the research tree (available later) Increases the cost of accumulators...

TL;DR Solar has barely any disadvantages (free, rather cheap, no pollution), so any new energy that gets implemented will probably not be able to compete. Just make solar (or just accumulators) a late game technology, so that other energy sources can fill the gap between steam and solar. SyncViews ...

Well, I can not say I disagree with you on all those points, but I don't agree with you on them either. As I said, I don't think prod 1/2 and speed 1/2 are balanced. They are just way worse than their T3 counterparts. They might be a lot cheaper to build too, but they feel just not worthwhile. 474% ...

I usually destroy 20 wooden chests of junk each game. They are usually not full, sometimes only one item is in there. But you can also just make a chest (any type) and use that as a garbage container for the whole game. If it's a steel chests I guarantee you it will not get full, ever. Only if you t...

I know what you mean... the game should be a bit more overwhelming, dependent on how much attacks you have defeated in a row. Can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not (I assume not, enlighten me). But this was half about balance between maps with lots of trees and maps with little trees and hal...

There are 3 ways that alter the evolution of ennemies : -time -pollution -number of ennemies you killed ( or spawns ) not sure on that. Actually what most people do in early/mid game to prevent pollution to affect ennemies is to destroy a large area of spawns ennemies around the base. Killing spawn...

Well you play with a mod and not with the official 15.0. The author created this mod as a playable version of this FFF. Since then the whole concept could have changed and nobody knows but the developers. I don't like to use end products instead of intermediates for science. This makes it unnecessa...

SyncViews and me played some days with the new science packs and we had a bit trouble with them here and there. First, the change to blue science is appreciated. The complexity feels a lot lower and the transition is smoother. However, we had huge trouble to get enough Assembly Machines 2 made. They...

I think the mechanic is generally a good concept, because it has lots of interesting aspects about it. But I also think it comes with a few problems in it's current form. What I think is good about it: It dynamically alters the enemy to your progress (more progress, bigger factory = more pollution, ...

Who cares? I do - either remove them or make them worthwhile. Anything in between is just avoiding the issue. Efficiency 1/2 are good and worthwhile in many situations, but Efficiency 3 is just meh. As for productivity, I agree that it should probably be 5, 7,5 10% or similar - but you should probab...

I can point out the problems and ways to solve them though, which can help the devs develop a solution. I think that is more helpful. I understand the problem you try to expose : you don't like "build more when need more" Still the solution missing. What for you should they do that will i...

https://mods.factorio.com/mods/IronCartographer/CopyAssemblerPipeDirection This mod does exactly this. I'm using it and I love it - while it's not a huge improvement it just feels right and makes the game more pleasant in those situations in which you copy assembly machines with pipes. I posted this...

I want to link this mod because it is part of what I suggested (the running part). While I still think it's not super necessary for walking, it would definitely not hurt. I use this mod and I find it feels better than without it.

https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3394 You should keep one suggestion per thread as multiple suggestions it's hard to keep discussion about multiple subject in same thread without loosing focus on some suggestion. Also if dev decided to implement one of your suggestion all other s...

- Work in Progress - TL;DR Things I believe should be high priority after next update and why. By now I've played 250 hours in Factorio. Some of you most definitely have much more. It was more than enough time for me to gather information and see how most if not all mechanics and aspects of the gam...

I would love to use this mod, but there is no module inserter item. The UI to configure is there, but I can't select entities to be equipped because the item isn't there for it.

I think though we can agree that right now eff 3 has just pretty much no place in the game. Something should change, so that it might find some actual use. Actual numbers aren't that important, that's for the devs to figure out.

The other modules seem pretty fine at least.

Landfills - if water is in the way.

Otherwise water is a natural wall against biters that they can't destroy. I love being on an island, if it's big enough with enough resources, because you can eventually just wipe out the biters and be left alone if you don't choose to be attacked.
