IMO 90kw is the cutoff for power efficiency.

Miners get all slots filled for sake of pollution.

Eff1 is magical. Especially if you get a bad desert seed.

I've suggested & supported having shift r/l mouse settings copy also copy modules for a while, would be super useful.

Upgrade planner should also be able to do it.

I've never had issues generating enough landfill @ 20:1.

Can you rebind the hotbar in settings?

especially for trackpad players.

its like playing a racing game with a keyboard
it works but it's far from the optimum

I often play using my magic trackpad 2, basically as nice as trackpads come, and it's not bad.

This would make it way, way easier.

Placing power poles or underground belts or pipes can be a little annoying right now because it's really easy to place it one tile off. I would like to hold a modifier key (ctrl?) to do the following: 1. When within a valid connecting range work exactly like normal placement 2. When outside the vali...

Meanwhile I use compression mods, namely: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/deadlock-beltboxes-loaders And that made a lot of fun, cause it is in my eyes nearly perfect balanced. Maybe I'm not looking at it right, what's the downsides to loaders and compression? It looks like a straight upgrade. I see ...

Could a mod simply disable the generation entirely, generate new chunks only on its own terms (namely player movement) and then calculate the "overflow" pollution to increase biter waves to match what they would otherwise be? Though if you're going that far, it seems like a better mod UPS ...

Support It would also be nice to be able to see the current values on a wired item, rather than having to always go thru a power pole. It would also be nice to generally be able to set circuit network settings even before the item is wired. I know they're stored, since copy/paste works even if it's ...

No choice in where we put our research? I liked the design that just gave us X research points to allocate as we desired.

Perhaps there is something I'm not understanding, but is this not a SR-latch? https://wiki.factorio.com/Power_switch An SR latch is a mechanism that toggles when an input crosses a threshold, and does not toggle back until crossing a separate threshold. The common example in Factorio is steam stora...

That's going to be something you get from mods. The mods in this game go really in depth into things.

Personally, I like how Industrial Revolution handled a lot of combat changes. I went in expecting some cool crafting changes, also got fun turrets.

Rule of thumb is chain in, rail out.

Deeper explanation: Chain in means that a train won't enter a section unless it can clear the section. Rail out means that once a train gets past the next signal after that the intersection is "clear" again so more trains can enter.

hello Deadlock, Thank you for making such a fantastic mod. I have a small bug to report: all prod modules (1-3) increase pollution by 10x the tooltip amount (i.e. 50% instead of 5%, 70% instead of 7%, 100% instead of 10%). That is part of the base game. Energy use is directly tied to pollution. Pro...

This would make it much faster & easier to share blueprints and get help for debugging. No more poorly lit screenshots! Much easier to tell a newbie "just copy/paste it". In a perfect world this would also include things not normally in a blueprint, such as fluid levels in pipes, produ...

I don't feel like blueprinting is intended to be used to the scale that this entails. Maybe I'm wrong. However, a couple of fixes I could see making people happier: 1. Using blueprint to set recipes on existing buildings, where a construction bot goes and travels to set the recipe if player is out o...

I like how Industrial Revolution handled mining. Big buildings, with even bigger footprint - think 2x the size of a normal drill, and footprint goes 2 tiles out. This gives you a balance between "sparsing" the patch, with as little miner overlap as possible, or going full density, in a mor...

For clarity, your "toggle personal roboport" is set to "off" - top right icon in the row of icons to the right of the quickbar.

Forgive my ignorance, but why can't bots carry multiple items when placing a blueprint? I would imagine it should go something like 1. bp placed 2. ghosts assigned to bots 3. ghost is marked as "targeted" 4. bots go place items So for step 2, a group of nearby structures all get assigned t...

q3) Impossible. on_built does not fire if collision prevents the pole from being built in the first place. You'd have to change the collision mask of the pole so that it becomes placeable *everywhere* and then offensively script to remove it everywhere except your machine. It's as ugly as it sounds...
