Yes. See previous discussion. viewtopic.php?p=536124#p536124.

I wouldn't call that a concrete example.

Just so you know, the autotorio website exists. only works for vanilla. Why? I can't think about any situation where it would be useful to replace entity to a totally unrelated entity.... Upgrade planner already allows to replace anything belonging to the same fast-replace group. If the mod doesn't...

I never even considered a non-smart reactor. I figured that this is not done... do kovarex, the process is slow but growth is exponential. eventually you have more U235 than you ever need, even with nukes. so imo just ignore the "smart" part, i dont think its worth the hassle. before you ...

[Koub] I'd like not to have and actively moderate things in here, so please, don't get in the personal attack realm : my scissors are always ready.

scissors incoming!

tldr change upgrade planner to replace planner , allow entities to be replaced by other entities of same size. why 1. we have cut, copy, paste. what is the next useful tool? replace (ctrl+H) 2. useful in other mods, especially creative mod. eg: void requester chest <-> normal requester chest

relevant locked tread: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&p=535808#p535808 ... 1. big brother radar actually not needed now, because bp can be built in fog. 2. "you shouldn't work for the factory by running around stuff. The factory should work for you, running around stuff"...

Can you elaborate on this? He has elaborate enough. Tldr pfr is weak and clumsy. we already had to make decision what equipment we wanna put into the left over space.

I don't think it should be nerfed... PFR already has a lot of downsides: it's very large and gives just twice more power than 16 solar panels. I think it would be better to add another alternative generator. It will be smaller and way more powerful, but will require fuel. So, you will have a choice...

Honestly i dont like the idea about removing evolution cap. Factorio is not a war game (for me).

I prefer QoL, not "research me or lose".

Too late or not is subjective, for me im willing to change it at a cost of my old bp or weird craft time numbers. But i know im in the minority. So i move on.

Easy to mod or not is also subjective, just like math teacher saying math is easy.

I've always thought it was weird that the only thing in the game that crafts at the default crafting speed was the one thing the entire game is built around not crafting with. actually chem plant, refinery, centrifuge use default crafting speed too. but they produce what handcraft cannot. but i tot...

Thanks for the report however I don't see this as ever changing. It has worked like that since day 0 of pipes being added to the game. That's the price we pay for fluids having actual flow through pipes rather than the electric network style instant transfer.

maybe put this into wont fix.

this serves 2 purpose:
1. orphan finder while holding/pipette them
2. if i place here, can the other end extend beyond that rail? (QoL)
