Fast entity transfer - remember quantity
TL;DR Quantity on fast transfer should not change back to full stack. What ? I have 40 turrets and 1000 clips. I want to insert 25 clips to each. So, I split 200 clips to 2x100, then 100 to 2x50, then 50 to 2x25. I try to insert 25 pieces to the 1st turret with ctrl. 25 clips are transfered, but I ...

Re: Trains and deadlocks
I expected the train on the right to recalculate its path (after some time maybe) and go through the station lower station. CH = Chain signal, S = Signal. I know it's less than ideal rail setup, but anyway, it should work... Lower track must be bidirectional, sometimes both stations are occupied. I ...

Re: Shift + Space
I accidentally enabled pause in tech tree view. Pause grid is barely visible, and You just can't exit tech view. It's bug for me.
BTW. is it possible to implement/enable active pause in single player mode?
Pause and check inventory, setup some things, check map, etc...?

Re: Trains and deadlocks
I would like trains to recalculate route after X seconds of red light... I often use single, bidirectional rails with passing loops, just for fun and realism. However, there are situations when two trains stops in front of each other, while one of it is able to find alternative, free way to station,...

Re: Make trains unloadable at signals.
Place signal just in front the "rear" station, and connect it. Then set the condition on the station: enabled if red=1 (or disable if green=1). Set the signal to output its signals. When signal is green, second station is disabled. Trains are going to original station. Signal changes to re...

Re: Make trains unloadable at signals.
Just place copy of the station where the signal is, and disable it until "main" station is used by other train.

Re: Train names
I belive trains (locomotives) has names, just not directly editable.
If setting own train ID is not possible, maybe the station should read the trains color, and send three signals for R, G anb B, with readed values?

Re: I hate beacons...
Well, you may just place new "wireless" routers, it's not forbidden ;) Just connect it to the Computation Center. I just think, it would by nice to be able to switch production priorities with logic circuits, so I can switch off routing in one place, and enable it in another. Or change spe...

Re: Units and quantities: Use real prefixes and proper rounding
But, just to add some confusion, since we can convert water to steam, volume based units loose the point. 1k units of water is 1k units of steam, but 1m3 of water is not 1m3 of steam... Now, imagine some new recipies, heat expanding, preassure, and whatever they may add to the game in future. Kilogr...

Prefixes works well on regular (not squared or cubed) units.

And I mean it. The way people use it, by spamming it wherever it fits, is just bad. I would like to have some alternative, cleaner and easier to controll way to boost specific buildings parameters: 1) "Computation Center" Works similar to Power Generator, but consumes green, red or/and blu...

Re: Version 0.15.8
So, how do I know if 10 raw uranium ores is converted to 10 processed Uranium "chunks", not eg. 1 or 100?FactorioBot wrote: Show 0.7% in the uranium processing recipe instead of 0.0 for uranium 235. This generally works for any recipe that gives less than 1 of anything.

The rocket has to have a satellite in order to get the science packs (the rocket has to be able send back the discoveries, right?). It sounds like another 100% automatic system. How about this: Satellite is landing on a specific tile (like on the silo, or some new building), but with limited accura...
