Can we have parametrized train blueprints ? Like place a train blueprint, pick the iron ore item type, and have an extra iron ore train running ? Having all the trains in a big bag feels really odd to me. This probably does not need anything from this FFF though :thinking_face: Train groups take ca...

Just had an idea whilst thinking about this: I'm currently playing a Space Exploration playthrough using LTN so whenever I see train stuff I try to imagine 'will this let me do what I do in LTN without needing LTN'? And stumbled upon a particular use case: Many of my trainstops accept multiple diffe...

The generic item parameter is such an elegant way of simplifying the orders. Though as with the last time you've shown this, there's still 1 issue: Trains are dispatched based on what is available to pick up, not based on what is needed to be dropped off. It'd be cool if we could somehow create some...

Is it just me or should the names for the "stack inserter" and the "bulk inserter" be swapped now? Seeing as how one of them puts stacks of items onto belts, and it's not the stack inserter :P You have a point good sir. A comment I saw several people mention (though am not worri...

Looks great at face value... but I have my doubts. 1. In terms of using this for a constant combinator... I hardly see the point when we have Constant Combinator Groups already available? If anything, I'd like to be able to parameterise my constant combinator to use group X when I place it. 2. Speak...

This post seems to be able to be summed up as 'how to improve modding experience? Hire modders and let them add in their bucketlist'. Seems to be working though.

This was an incredibly technical post and I can understand it's not for everyone: Most people just like to see the new goodies. I myself read it, still don't quite understand it though I got the general idea... But I did want to point out one specific sentence that just... gave me joy. My goal was t...

Oh my god... this one actually had me in tears for a bit. It's so beautiful. You've taken LTN and integrated it better than I could've ever imagined it. The channels are groups, the interrupts are requests/provides... I'm having an INCREDIBLY hard time trying to imagine what more you're going to add...

Ah yes, the classical 'its working' save. Also... hairspray? Diagnola... diagonal? MHM. But, for the lamps: How hard would it be to allow us to set a lamp's colour based on the integer value of the red/green/blue squares? To aleviate conflicts, lamps could have 2 modes: Either they take the colour w...

This is nice and all... but does this FINALLY give us a way to 'sanitize' our inputs? Specific case: I was working on making a station using LTN that would allow me to load multiple types of cargo. The problem is that LTN's station, alongside expected cargo, also dump out a whole bunch of other data...

They really did say 'thou shall not bot base in space' huh. LET THE SPAGHETTI COMMENCE!

All of this is incredibly nice. But there is one thing I'd love to see being added now that bots can insert equipment grid into spidertrons: Let us blueprint entities with an equipment grid so that if we place the blueprint down, it'll automatically get the items in the equipment grid. This'll allow...

Picked this one when I was younger... and can't seem to change it...

Apologies for the necro, this thread is the top result on Google for "factorio change username", and after emailing support as advised above I was told that the option to change username is now under your profile settings at https://www.factorio.com/profile . Absolute legend. One question...

This is wonderful... but there is one thing... I do wonder how the hell FARL is going to cope with all of this... that'll probably need to be rewritten entirely. But yes, the new rails look AWESOME and I can't wait to get my hands on them.

Regarding the logistic requests, I'm wondering: Let's say you are in steady state, 100 logistics bots requested, 100 present. Then 50 robots leave to do something. Does the system immediately send 50 new robots? When the original are done, if they go back to the same place, do you have 150 now? Pre...

Well here's a thought, might not be the nicest way of implementing it but it would get the job done: In settings, replace the 'pick ghost item if no items are available' checkbox with a little dropdown menu, with options as follows: If no items are available when selecting item from hotbar or via pi...

Just went into a game to test, and yes, ENTER will close the Lua Console even when it's empty. So I suggest to either allow players to choose whether the open Lua Console button will open it or toggle it, or just revert it back to what it was, which was SLASH opens, ENTER closes.

Well, ENTER closes the console, and I believe the button used to toggle used to only open the console. I believe it closes without a message aswell, will test tomorrow as my computer doesn't want to open factorio at the moment, it's kind of old...

Overwolf isn't the only culprit. I had the exact same problem, but for me it was Bandicam that was causing issues. I suspect any program that influences Factorio in any way causes this to happen.
