Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

Another interesting FFF that introduces a great feature.
However, only time will tell to what extent I will use it in the future. I am also one of those who has a separate blueprint or even a separate blueprint book for each item.

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements

As far as I understand it, the check whether the conditions for an interrupt are fulfilled only takes place when leaving a train station. If the conditions for an interrupt are then fulfilled, this is followed up.

Re: Friday Facts #390 - Noise expressions 2.0

Verry technical this time but still interesting.

Am I right in thinking that these changes mean that modders will have to rewrite the setting of their own resources, for example?

Merry Christmas.

Re: Elevated rail unloading

I don't like the idea of simply dropping things. But I can imagine a special new inserter that can unload from elevated trains. But I wonder whether a train stop can be placed on elevated train tracks at all. And I see another problem. Factorio is a 2D game. I don't know if you can see what's happen...

One thing I would love to be added to the game is the ability to change the station in the scheduler without to have to recreate the whole schedule.

I would also like to see this implemented.

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements

Someone on Reddit suggested a condition that would test against remaining fuel Mj. This way you don't need to test for low specific fuel type(s). If fuel Mj is low, go refuel. If you change fuel type in the refueling station later on, the train doesn't even need to know. I am also in favour of havi...

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements

And another FFF with long-awaited features. Thank you. I like to use the trains in Factorio and especially the option to refuel only when needed is a relief for me when planning train routes. This makes some of my Bluepronts obsolete, but the implementation in the game is much better. Another innova...

Re: [MOD 1.1] Picklock's Set Inventory Filters

Since I found it inconvenient to close the open inventory and open my inventory to sort it, I added the function that my inventory is sortable even if another inventory is open to my mod. Update...

Re: Friday Facts #387 - Swimming in lava

Another FFF with lots of interesting news.

The new mining drill looks awesom and if it is not too expensive to produce it will replace my standard mining drills.

The foundry also looks awesom. I can't wait to see what you can do with it.

Re: [1.1.98] Tight Spot: Red/Green wire permanently lost when deconstructing

The fact that red and green wires are not put back into the inventory when they are deconstructed will be solved with V2.0, as from then on wires can be set free of material costs. You can read about this in https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-379 . ... In the end we took the path that made a lot of ...

Another very interesting FFF. The new planet looks very good. The new resources also make you curious to mine, process and use them.

Re: Friday Facts #385 - Asteroid Collector

Another interesting FFF.

I find it exciting and interesting to see how the Asteroid collector has developed from the idea to the realization and what thoughts are behind it.

Of the concepts shown, I also like the current realization the best.
