Re: Enable "Q" pipette tool to work in crafting menu.

That would be cool. I just launched a game. I crafted artillery and wanted to place its blueprint while it was being crafted.

And Q doesn't collide with any other functionality in that menu.

Open save folder button (from load/save game)

I would like a button, that would open wherever the save is saved.

For quick interests, like "I wonder how big my save file is"

Players would not have to google where their saves are.

Re: Optimization idea: abstraction

You can run one instance of the abstraction for real and place views of that instance wherever there is a copy. For an example how to mod this look at how factorissimo can show you the inside of the factory building. Using factorissimo as base might also be an option. You build your factory inside ...

Re: Cycles: Merge entities, mod for performance idea

I caught up with this thread, I see no one suggesting precisely what I did suggest.

Cycles: Merge entities, mod for performance idea

I was reading a rant about UPS here and I thought about an idea I have had for some time. Idea The machines in factorio do repetitive work. An intelligent entity could optimize performance by finding cycles that repeat. I think this is a very hard problem. However we, as players, could select a part...

Re: [1.1.26] Pole connects to ghost but built pole is in range

I get that, but it just feels bad that when you add an unnecessary pole into a blueprint, which will change connections if that pole doesn't get built the built doesn't work!

[1.1.26] Pole connects to ghost but built pole is in range

Not P(this is a bug) = 1, but it sure is weird and annoying.

What happens: Inserter in the attached image is unpowered.

Expected result: Pole reconnects to give the inserter power.

How did I do it:
1. ctrl+c part of the build
2. paste it
3. bots make parts of it

Re: Friday Facts #362 - Menu simulation, Spidertron, Ghost building, Confirm button

Amazing! I wonder just about the poles. If a pole has a reach of X, then networks X apart are connected. If networks are 2X+1 apart, you can place a pole in the middle to connect those networks (which is done automagically now while holding down the button). What about networks between X+1 and 2X ap...

Re: Turn off UI (key binding)

Wait, I was talking about the regular map, not minimap.

Anyway, I feel it is quite an issue since driving south shouldn't be connected with difficulties that are not present while driving north.

Well not only you cannot turn, but you also slow down.

This is not the way to go, controls should be conserved.

Turn off UI (key binding)

I would like to turn off UI by some keypress. The use case is when running around to not accidentally stepping into biter nest cause they were hidden behind UI, especially hotbar, which is closest to the player and takes up about half viewing distance. Also, I have seen this requested for screenshot...

Re: Friday Facts #357 - Nuke

The nuke first destroys the cliffs instantly, at once, and then start killing entities with hp from middle to far end.

Shouldn't the cliffs be destroyed with the shockwave as well?

Re: Friday Facts #356 - Blueprint library for real

Since it is possible to place blueprints in map is it possible to make blueprints from map? It is/would be useful for giant arrays of evenly spaced roboports. It can be done with radars while zoomed in, but still... it would be more consistent if it were possible. Keep being awesome Kovarex! Powerfu...

Re: Friday Facts #339 - Beacon HR + Redesign process

What do you mean "long post"? It is one of the shorter ones!

Also, I cannot but help to see it as some sort of turret. A fighting entity. It looks eerie.

I like the design itself, to me, it just looks more like a front line, electric defence mechanism shocking the bitters with lightning.
