You issued far too many orders for the supplies available.

As he mentioned, he was doing a mass upgrading to blue belts. Shortage is inevitable. No one is going to stock up blue belts for an upgrade. They just let their factory slowly produce as needed.

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/jetpack IMHO it's not as cool as having 4 glowing construction bots carry you around. :mrgreen: We can actually merge the 2 ideas. Hovering and construction bot speed movement only cost electricity. You can turn on afterburners to go at train speeds but you will need r...

IMHO just turn on editor mode - command is "/editor" - and just use the deconstruction planner.

PS: Editor mode enables instant cut/copy/paste too.
PPS: To enable progression of time, click the clock icon then the play button.

<plug> https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=64648&p=396170#p396170 </plug> :D Not a bad idea. Would work well with the aforementioned wire system proposed above to allow "precision crafting" of logistic networks. Frankly, even if the developers feel it would make bots O...

TL;DR Allow us to control which roboports belong to which network depending the connecting wires between them - just like how we control which electric poles are in which electric network. What ? Roboports should connect to each other like electric poles - with a wire on the ground showing the conn...

I would to suggest a research of a personal hovering transport bot, with some combat capabilities to transport the player from point to point. it would also be great if the player is able to summon the bot to player's location. Or "hardpoints" for the mobile armor. You can use the current...

I'm guessing, the developers forgot and assumed that everyone was familiar with the paste keyboard command (Control-v on Windows and Command-v(?) on MacOS) which does work.

Just got the funny idea where your mobile armor's construction bots carry you all over the factory.

They can lift turrets and walls. Surely they can lift us.

Not a bad idea. Would be nice for people doing solar only runs. -If unable to have incompatible steam, then instead make the electric boilers have a very large power demand of at LEAST 1.8 MW, which would be greater than or equal the power production abilities of the two steam engines the boiler cou...

On a related note, anyone else not like the (new) uneven texture for concrete? (The old one looks smoother.) The current bumpy concrete texture should really be used for brick flooring. Not to mention concrete flooring in real life is just smooth. Just google "concrete flooring" if you don...

I would love a toggle for the flashing icons too - maybe Ctrl?

They are very distracting when you are building - and they block the Alt icon.

Yes, if the connected pipe was total emptied, there is no recipe anymore, but if the new fluid comes, then the recipe will be changed to the right one. The way fluids work in the game is kind of " imprecise ". Don't think you can ever tell if a pipe system is truly empty. Also the recipe ...

I was always under the impression that the bots just take from repair packs from the logistic network when it needs them ...

Bumping this (instead of making a new thread).

Add regular copper wire as a deconstruction option too.

Search filters would be nice too.

i.e. it weed out everything else that doesn't match the (partial) search string

beats hunting and pecking through the (fluctuating) list.

Frankly, I think they should just rip off Windows'/MacOS's file managers (Windows Explorer/Finder). Why reinvent the wheel? Add cut, copy, paste and delete buttons at the top of the window. Hold Control to select multiple items. Hold Shift to select multiple items with keyboard arrow keys. Double-cl...

Keep in mind, current atomic rocket was made before artillery. The game overall has moved towards artillery being the true end game weapon. I think quite a lot of people find the atomic bomb kind of underwhelming - probably expecting a missile-type weapon that detonates with a mushroom cloud and a ...

There shouldn't be irrevocable or annoying to undo things in nowadays, otherwise there is an UI/UX flaw. It should still be possible to finally get rid of a save or blueprint. And with finally i mean irrevocably. Being able to delete what is not needed anymore is not a UX flaw - being able to do it...

IMHO they should just make the quick bar like World of Warcraft’s. Which is like what?? It's similar to the existing Quickbar but when you drop a replacement item onto a slot, it replaces what's in slot and your cursor now holds what was previously in the slot. WoW's hotbar can also be locked to pr...

Don’t know about developer intent but I primarily use artillery to keep biter nests away from my base - and pollution cloud. They are active at all times and are resupplied via logistic bots. I don’t have any remote outposts after biters wrecked one of my trains mid-transit. I expand my base to enc...
