Logic is ultimate thing that solves a lot of problems, energy control included. Sure is... However, how long will it take for us to get a omnipotent logic system? And how complex will it be? That is... There are lots of things that need to be considered to make a suitable design with plenty of poss...

The old thread is about quite different thing. More about generic logical controls over various things and not that much related to power network in any way. Could be extended to it of course.

That could work. But it would bring out cases of accidental combining of separated networks. That would need some kind of confirmation or something before it would combine connections from separate networks together bypassing the controller.

Hmmn... To make it in spirit of the Factorio. Have an advanced power network control building. It would open up various new things. Later on upgrade to allow even more controls. Things like: 1) Power production control. 2) Priority of different building types. More advanced ones: 3) Ability to set i...

We have plenty of hacks around to turn off steam power depending on accumulator storage amounts. But that is a lot of work and will be hard for new players. It would be much better if there was a simple slider in the electricity information of a given power network. Allowing player to set a level of...

I think the demo should contain perhaps two types of premade 'look at this' factories. And then allow some amount of normal playback to see how it goes in reality. That way it would both show up what can be done nice and easy. And then allow one to see the actual playback. First ready factory could ...

muzzy did bring up nice points. But I'd like to add the need for some proper technology powered war tools. Warfare is a part of the game and given the style of the game, technology needs to deliver more and more tools for it. It can be robots or something, but it has to be able to make the player to...

Disabling can't be done in game if the game crashes because of a mod. Game crashing because of such is a bug. No matter the mods the game should not crash. Any incompatible mods should just automatically get disabled as you reach main menu. And for some major errors while playing may cause you to b...

It already works exactly as you suggested. Unless you have used the middle mouse button to reserve slots for certain items in which case nothing will me moved over them.

In 0.5.x I used a second faster belt just after corner. In some cases it wasn't enough to just have faster belt in the corner. Haven't tested with 0.6.x.

Also you can use feeding from side to get full capacity just fine if you use faster belt for both feeder and target belt.

Because the planet with no life was not inhabitable?

Sorry, but I don't get it, why the second (unlimited resources) is really needed so much? :) Something like a test-map or what? :) Some people like sandbox style and such. And the mentioned unlimited resource at very slow rate. One could perhaps optimize a base that uses as little resources as poss...

That is a lot of work if you have to cross multiple streets.

There has to be toggle button for car following streets. Like Simcity 4 has with you-drive-it missions.

@Developers Maybe you should either increase avalilable wating time for username/password verification or make several retries to avoid theese problems in the future. Good idea, I'm adding it to the issues list :-) And when it fails, it should say couldn't connect to the server instead of wrong pass.

It should be easy to make generic resource field of wanted size, richness and also be able to control the distribution of richness. Currently it is insane pain to make a large and rich field with all new tiles being not worth much and each having to be manually adjusted. Also would be nice to be abl...

From realistic point of view, I can easily imagine, that fuel processing can make it much more effective. It depends a lot on various things. But in this case the overall fuel value is lost in every further processing. However, the waste amount (both solid and smoke) is lowered and thus in some usa...

Warmblooded beings emit infrared on their own.

Indeed... Too much waste of time for too little benefit. It would also make modding much harder as people would need to make 3D models of everything new.

Hmm and I allways thought that an infinite map means infinite ressources as well... Well, yes... But considering the distance you have to get them increases... In the end it just isn't feasible anymore. While treefarming with cokery is infinite with no additional resource usage once you have starte...
