A GUI for creating and quickly accessing commonly used chat/console commands. ie: - check bot count - zoom to an inaccessible zoom level - send canned chat messages to your teammates The GUI should provide functionality to create, edit, delete, and (most importantly) execute command.

The debate I had left to sort out is whether the 'mined' object from the inverters is itself an inserter or rather a non-placeable item. A) bobs vanilla item IS inserter, then that is just one more item that the user might place and functions in the factorio world. Unnecessary clutter? Unless it pro...

Alteration to crafting of inserters: Situation: I was recently digging through the code for the logistics mod for tips/tricks and noticed that all the various inserters live as unique items -- that is to say that they are crafted as themselves, placed, and then mined as only that one item. So, once ...

However, with multiple...

Likely idea for SP only (since vehicles adopt color of player in MP)

Maybe it could be possible to mimic the gates ant...

Discussion: Most of my requester chests are set up to support a specific assembly machine, or at the very least in response to a specific recipe need. This usuall...
