...or post the map exchange string

I am fine with factorio end being a sandbox builder. it would make sense if there were some more late game thing being the trigger for the "victory" screen though.

Productivity 3 is very expensive. Up to 20 p2 modules can be used in the labs without you having to pay extra (you need 20 for the p3 in the rocket silo), so turning them into p3 is a lot of investment for a small benefit. The time between when you can build modules and you have finished the rocket ...

This suggestion accomplish what few others have done: Providing more information without cluttering the screen and/or taking up more space. There is always going to be pressure on providing more and more information, and looking at each individual case you may agree that it is good information to ha...

Why do you want biters to have better pathfinding?

Load the map-exchange string into Sandbox mode and then explore. Its so much faster. Use cheat command to reveal map, then use cheat command to speed up game time. ... Frequency lumps things together or pushes things apart. Very basic. I haven't noticed 0.16 to ignore my choices other than biter ba...

I think ore fields are too spread apart to use the same name trick. Even if you didn't have empty trains going round in circles you'd still have trains preferring the nearest station with no good way to control that. Better to just give the station at the ore field a unique name and create unique tr...

Deja vu...

Well, this post is a lot better than your posts in the other topic. I don't agree (as you know) that the current ones are unreadable, but I do agree that this would be an improvement. Well done!

Yes, the first few things I mentioned are things needed in small bases. The point is that they are different and are only a concern once you reach a specific point in the game. For example drawing 8 belts around is very different logistically from taking just 1 belt. This is when you may start havin...

megabases are just cloning of stuff instead of thinking new solutions Not even almost true. Basically it works like a fractal. On the base level you have individual buildings, then you have many buildings creating a line, then you have many lines creating a block, then you have many blocks creating...

Pretty much everything you could possibly need to buffer above the capacity of a wood chest are things you want in the logistics network, such as blue belts. Hence everything like that will have a passive provider and not a steel chest. The only exceptions are artillery shells (not really) and milit...

I realize this is an old topic, but if you want to stop a belt on either of two different conditions you can just connect two different belt pieces in series and not use any combinators.

In my experience pumps rather tend to overdo whatever they do, so I don't see how you would be left with 0.5 units. However if your tanks have less than 1 unit in them just declare them to be empty and let the train leave for a refill.

There is really very little problem using belts. It is only a little more effort to build, and when getting really big can be more demanding on your computer. However there isn't ever any *must* involved. Blueprints allow you to place the same balancer over and over and when trains take over most tr...

It is LITERALLY easier for me to just run around and do whatever a circuit would be expected to do then waste HOURS trying to figure out how to have a simple clock work; and still haven't gotten it to do so. I've been through the wiki and here's a suggestion, how about someone plop a blueprint into...

Definitely remove iron chests, and I think we could go even further and remove steel chests as well.

Alternatively if we gave iron chests the ability to set item filters (like player inventory and train wagons), but that wasn't also given to higher tier chests then they could remain.

I understand perfectly. the problem is that, since you currently can't have a second type of rail, as in, the game refuses to load if you try to define one, then you would be allowed to place your train on the other type of rail, even if you intend to not allow it. I don't want more trains anyway s...

And/or shift click it to disconnect it like power poles and cables
And/or set its coverage radius.

I don't think bots need buffing though.

This could be fine if done right.

I think it is fine to have one module which is not on equal terms with the other two. They are not completely useless because some recipes can't be crafted with productivity modules.
