one of the cool things about Factorio is that you can get every achievement in a single playthrough. Not saying you are wrong, but I imagine it's atleast very dificult to get the speedruning stuff (There is no spoon or what ever it is called, and geting a train runing in a set amount of time) and a...

Goal

Simplify the gameplay.

Always a bad goal.

Use a turret for the base item?

I mean, have you read the FFFs about the new planets?

A mod like this would be trivial for me to make, and is something I'd kind of want, too, due to my use of Clockwork to darken and extend the nights. However, I can't create graphics, so I don't know what I'd use for the entity(ies). Searchlight mod is under MIT license, I think? (Always worth check...

Mod one

Mod two

Mod three (You want the wide-area lamps)

Have fun

Factorio achievements are basically checkpoints. There's the "have played the game to X point" achievements, the speedrun achievements, and the megabase achievements. Then there's the three challenge achievements (no solar, no laser, no logi). They could add a few more combat checkpoint ac...

I am currently searching in the API for a way to set the value of the brush area to make a mod in few lines of code. It's either going to be 5 lines of code or impossible. If it's impossible, then you might want to head over to API requests and put it there. I know I wouldn't mind +/-10 tile radius...

20x20 isn't actually the max building size for tiles. It's dependent on your character's reach (long-reach mods make it bigger, infinite-reach mods make it not have a max)

(I didn't know PageUp/PageDown did that, I use NumPad+/-)

Game achievements are not meaningless figurines that you can buy on the market.

They actually are. Go play on an open server for a few hours and you'll pick up most of them.

For example, I hate that you can't disable achievements on Steam.

You actually can. Just turn off the in-game overlay.

And it is very depressing that hardcore achievements are not encouraged.
It demotivates to make adventures.

This seems like you don't enjoy the game, you just want the badges.

This is relevant at the initial stage of the game. It's really not. And also in a hardcore game, with the minimum possible amount of resources, at the maximum distance from each other. That actually makes it easier to use pretty rail layouts, because you have so much more space. Where to build two ...

There is no point in increasing the difficulty of the game.

Personal challenge.

Not everything has to be about badge collecting.

Mods break it.

That sounds very unlikely to happen. Why don't you ask for Space Age asset files to be a separate mod that Space Age depends on, like SE mod has the SE graphical asset mods? Then you could depend on that mod and not introduce a very confusing "disabled dependency". Or ask for Rocket Turre...

For the latter if you really want to prioritize stops based on how desperately you want a train to go there you will need to wait for the Factorio 2.0 update; because then you will be able to set the train stop priority ranging anywhere from 0 to 255 (50 being default). Or set it using circuit netw...

We should be able to access installed mod assets without having the mod enabled.

The big, massive reason for this is that I want a mod that enables the rocket turret related stuff from Space Age, but without Space Age active.

There's a question I don't think anyone has asked yet:

Why would anyone ever have two different directions of train stations sitting next to each other like that!?

Request: Turrets have an "is currently firing" signal output. We can fake this using a cingle combinator for rockets, because they have an ammo size of 1 (and with a massive mess for lazer turrets) but it would be nice if, now that turrets have a circuit connection, we could just read it o...

[...] where you can have them right up against each other. ... which is kinda stupid anyway if we think about it. Because you cannot even place signals in between there if the rails are this close next to each other. So I doubt people will even make much use of the possibility in practice. ^^ The b...
