The main issue I see with the tech tree as it is lies in the icons. They're very busy, and while they look nice up close, when viewed from a more distant perspective, it's difficult to quickly identify which technology is which. The icons should be revisited, with an eye towards making them readily ...

This change to laser turrets may get me to actually use them, because that effect is pretty cool.

It seems like there are two main objections to bots in their current form: Infinite throughput and ease of use. If bots are limited in how many can access a chest in a given period of time, the infinite throughput goes away, but it then adds a new challenge for players to solve. How do you maximize ...

Nice. Counter-suggestion: remove the resource "pecking order" entirely and just assign each resource patch a random weight. What patch swallows up other patch would depend on their relative weights and distance from the patch center tile. This will result in greater variability (iron won'...

There will be "show-train-stop-names-at-angle" in config.ini in 0.15.29, but it won't be exposed in game GUI yet.

Please make it a full option soon. The 45 degree angle looks bizarre and downright awful.

Queue to front wouldn't remove the need or desire to automate. It's still a single item crafting slot, which means that automation is necessary for parallel production of items. It's also tedious to keep manually queuing items. That said, I'm dubious about the need for queue to front. Yes, it's hand...

Judging by the replies I've seen around here, the way boilers, heat exchangers, and steam engines/turbines work is somewhat confusing for people. To help combat this, I propose that boilers have a No Water sign similar to their Out of Fuel sign when they don't have water, a No Steam sign for steam e...

There is no bug. Even if an ore patch isn't completely shown within the map's visible boundaries, the full value of the ore deposit is given, including the parts that aren't visible yet.

This would be very handy. +1

I like most of these changes. However, requiring the player to open up the inventory and go to the character tab to see their armor and ammo is a bad idea. You may not often need this information, but when you do, you need it immediately. Running out of ammo in the middle of a fight is a very bad th...

My one big wish for Factorio 1.0 is more ability to automate trains. In an ideal world, I'd like to have networks detect that there's a shortage in transportation resources (too many resources being stockpiled and not enough consumed at other locations would do), and then build additional trains to ...

I know this has beed marked as NaB but it must be. Or I need explanation why is this correct. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=45838 Looks like there is a big enough gap to me, Like walking between two parked cars The last picture in the original topic shows that two adjacent bo...

I think the empty fuel cell should be output once the reactor has finished consuming it and not when it first enters the reactor. Because that's just bullcrap... how can there be a depleted fuel cell immediately (which also contains U-238 after reprocessed) when the fuel cell hasn't even been used ...

I admit, I put a stack of nukes on a rocket and was a little disappointed I did not get a targeting cursor when I launched it. A targeting cursor would definitely be helpful, both for placing your shots and for avoiding getting vaporized yourself. After playing with it myself, the atomic bomb is ac...

I'm supporting a mod (DistancePlus) and all the graphics are 32x32 png files, yet the game shuts down when the mod is loaded. The error message is: "The given sprite rectangle (... 128x128) is outside the actual sprite size (... 32x32)." What I understood from the changenotes I only need ...

I can't speak for SupplyDepoo, but I know what I want: I never ever want a blueprint in my inventory. They are not useful there as it's far easier to have them in the "B" gui screen, and they don't eat up inventory space. I want to hit 'B', select a blueprint, place it in the world, it &q...

As a workaround, move the electric circuit removing inserter on the left down one spot and place a north-facing belt. This will let the electronic circuits go to the bottom lane. You'll have to move the medium power pole, of course.

That is by design. It means that chaining labs is not the end-all best way to setup labs but is easier than doing it the most efficient way. Ha! I realized I hadn't actually tried this with a boiler, but it looks to be the same case! So definitely by design. However like the above poster, I would a...

You can already throttle nuclear fuel consumption by using fluid tanks to store steam, and circuit networks to only load fuel when steam runs low. Here's a save with an example reactor design. I don't see "steam" as an option to filter on with my circuit network. It's not listed in fluids...

While I don't use this feature much myself, it's definitely undesirable. If you're using quick insert/removal, it should stay in either the insert or removal state until you release the mouse button. In fact, the only time that this is a problem is if you're quick inserting down a line of inserters ...
