I have been doing some work on a map to determine exactly the best combination of power generation possible for most utilization. It has a 540 radar load cell attached to steam turbines which is powered by boilers, inserters, and drills on a separate network. The point of this setup was to see exact...

I'd like to see an item counter. A device that sits over the belt a sums up quantities of x material that has passed under and has a total (that can be preset or reset). Sorry if I had missed any other similar suggestions, I've searched and found no results. Also, posting from my phone, so a bit bri...

I really do dig the idea of wireless smart inserters/chests with network IDs. I think that could make it much more interesting in the future. A few gripes I have: - There is no <= or >= condition, which can be useful at times. (>= 1) for example can be any amount besides empty. - There is no way to ...

Kovarex,

Thanks for looking into that. So, should this game be loadable in 0.5.0? Or is there something I can do to make it load in the current revision?

Thanks you!

Hello, Not sure why, but Factorio crashes when I start up, and try to load this game: http://www.robert-lerner.com/factorio/save.zip Factorio: v0.4.1 alpha x64 Windows System: Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64 While it looks like mods were enabled, there were no mods in use (besides base ;)). I saved i...

kovarex - Think Linux Thumbnails for text files.

You can see just a little portion of the text (10 chars or so), but can hover it or click it to read the entire entry. I do get where you're coming from though, Shortening it is all I can think of.

If so, my mistake. My work blocks this site (not Factorio.com, however), so it's rare that I can get on here and read up (and see all of the ideas), and I've always had issues with phpBB's (gag) search.

If a mod would like to merge the topics, or just append my post as a vote++, that would be fine.

^Similar issue here. I usually go with 6 engines per pump as going over that seemed to create an issue for me.

I'll have to try expanding some off of one pump and see if this continues.

I find that when I start a game that required a mod in the past, after I delete or upgrade a mod, it will no longer operate (no surprise). But, Factorio just crashes instead of listing the mods required to run the save (and versions). Maybe this is something that can be made in the future (a depende...

I came up with an idea of a dense coal mod that allows an assembler to combine 10 coal into one "dense coal" with a fuel value of 10, into stacks of up to 256. It allows much more compaction and even better storage. A coworker of mine had finished the mod as I wasn't getting it working. Bu...

I'm not very keen on the "building area" idea, due mostly to how I'm not sure of a good implementation of it.

As for the signs, I think that would be very beneficial. I would make extensive use of them.

Also agreed. That would be great to have, however it defeats a large part of the strategy of building the factory.

Hello all, Been playing the game since I bought it on IndieGoGo a few months? back. It's a fantastic game and it is great to see it come together. That being said, a gripe I have: The power poles have no redundancy, if you delete one, you can't have another path for current, so it cuts off a branch....
