Re: Friday Facts #408 - Statistics improvements, Linux adventures
8 Pages? Sorry, not reading all of them to see if it has been mentioned. For the production statistics, I'd love to have the item lists for production and consumption combined into one list. I find it a pain to search through the list for the items I want to see anyway, and having to do it twice is ...

Re: Friday Facts #407 - Automating a soundtrack
To explain the mixed reactions here: There are two modes we use to listen to music: active and passive. In active mode, we spend awareness following the music, predicting how it changes, being positively (or negatively) surprised about what it does, taking it in, and so on. This is how we listen to ...

Re: Friday Facts #406 - Space Age Music
Wait a minute... Factorio already has some music?
I'll need to check where that has been hiding, I never noticed any.

Re: Friday Facts #404 - Frustration not found
No to the new RTS control from me. There are good mods for controlling hordes of combat Spidertrons, tanks, and other automated vehicles. If someone wants to have RTS warfare, they can easily do that. But the vanilla Spidertron isn't something you spam hundreds onto the map. It is primarily a person...

Re: Friday Facts #396 - Sound improvements in 2.0
Nice, but ... I hate those inventory sounds.
I would also suggest a basegame setting to force them all to use one sound set (preferably the old one, although that could be modded), as doing that with a mod would mean digging through all items added by mods and modifying them one by one.

Re: Friday Facts #393 - Putting things on top of other things
One solution for faster belts that don't move faster would be to give us multi-layer belts. Simple rule: Inserters can only access the top layer of a multi-layer belt. (Add a flag on the prototype to allow accessing all layers for modded loaders.) When a multi-layer belt ends and feeds into a single...

Re: Friday Facts #393 - Putting things on top of other things
To be honest, since the big inserter change, I haven't used stack inserters at all. Even before that, I only rarely used them, but after, it just wasn't clear what advantage I would have by using them. Fast inserters were fine with vanilla, and for modded, there were faster inserters and loaders. Al...

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0
"Circuit slots show the values" To be honest, I hate how this is implemented. You're mixing up configuration data and live data in the same field. This makes those conditions really hard to read. The same is true for the green background to a lesser extent. For the combinators, the input c...

What happens to blueprints and blueprint books? Do I need to request them too, to avoid them getting trashed by trash-unrequested? Normally, blueprints are supposted to be in the blueprint library. At this moment, blueprints are trashed as well, but we are planning to change it as it is quite annoy...

However, I can see monorail trams being useful on space platforms. You wouldn't really need two rails in space, just one for the train to grip onto is enough, there's no weight to worry about either and the narrower curves would help navigate the limited space and distribute a decent amount of of r...

Now, if the Space Age mod doesn't depend on the Quality mod...you could have said that 3 weeks ago and ended all the complaining instantly.
