Problem is that we have almost no control over bots and they're flying around like they want. When you have over 10000 bots flying around entire factory and you want to replace them (higher tiers from mods). Good luck with picking them all. When you want to build separated storehouses managed by bot...

I have few ideas to change bots mechanic because in my opinion actual it's making mess in factory. Bots are flying like insects without any control. Ideas: Bots are built only in Roboport (we have to deliver materials) and are integral part of it. It is impossible to take them into your inventory. R...

I'm sure, this is on the todo-list. The idea I remember was to have switchable layers for that. It will change almost nothing, only that you will be able to interact with structures on ground without interact with bots (and vice versa). Bots will still flying like insects, making factory look like ...

But some people just prefer belts to robots, because they are more interesting to set up. Belts aren't only more interesting but also more elegant. Bots are flying around like insects, they do more mess in factory than anything else. I can't pick items from ground because of flying bots, sometimes ...

Yes, there should be warning if items in chest can't be placed in inventory. Several times i had to clean factory because of that.

Found a bug, reproduced several time with the same result.
Put chest on ground, hold cursor on it until gui window show up and then mine that chest.

Basic example: http://s24.postimg.org/vp5spdr4x/example.jpg Refinery is producing petrol gas and pumping it into the network. Unused gas is going to tank and it's pumping back to network. So the gas from refinery and tank have the highest priority. Chemical plant have only valve so it have the lowes...

One-way valve could be added but it should work like real one. Allow liquid to flow in one direction but only from high pressure to low pressure.

liquid is flowing
hight pressure | one-way valve -> | low pressure

liquid is not flowing
low pressure | one-way valve -> | high pressure

You need:
- chest before assembly machine
- upgrade for inserter to move 5 items at once
- fast inserter to feed assembly machine
- faster belts or parallel belts
- logic inserter to control items amount in chest

Your setup just can't handle with providing proper amount of items.

One way pipes are ridiculous, there is no such thing in reality. Flow direction is determined by pressure and you can actually make it by using pumps. But if we're speaking about pipes, I would like to have high pressure ones and better pumps. Right now to transport high amount of liquid to many obj...

Sometimes I'm using that setup if i want to use one side for materials and other for products.
Right side is for materials which are stopped by ground belt
Left side is for products which are going through ground belt.

I also don't want complex system with tones of settings and difficult configuration. It should be easy and working in 90% automatically like bots. Just setup station what they provide / request, how log cart have to wait (until full / empty or just few second) and it's all. Rest is done automaticall...

This is my idea for Transport Carts. Carts can only move in one direction determined by the monorails. Monorails types: http://s8.postimg.org/nonlfr9yp/monorails.jpg Each monorail segment can be occupied by only one cart and cart can move only when segment before him is free. http://s21.postimg.org/...

Post should be a weak point. We should protect it by standard defense systems.

I think it's little too high RAM usage.

Problem with new version


Also the same error with "logistic-chest-provider".

1. Electric train should be end-game vehicle for transportation on very long distances. It should have low electric capacity and be recharges constantly via electric tracks. 2. Renaming stations? Absolutely NO, but it should be possible to add description. 3. Stations with multiple platforms would b...

Forcefield awsome
I posted about it in suggestion section https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=6&t=1703
I always wanted to have more hi-tech items in factorio with more futuristic look.

You have to change energy use in smelting recipe. Quote from DyTech discussion. Sadly, it is the case. I thought it was just me not noticing it before, but every single smelting recipe takes way too long in 0.9.x. After a bit of checking, it come from a change in the smelting formula, and the change...

I would like to have small splitter to split items from one side of the belt to both sides.
I know that i can use normal splitters for that but it's not elegant and take some space, especially in compact factories.
