Very much looking forward to the map changes and adding "elevation", even just as a graphical effect, would be pretty darn cool.

Not a fan of any of the nightvision solutions shown in the notes. The second image is much, much better than the current but the third is ... terrible, for lack of a better word. I'll probably continue on with over-lighting and not bother with the nightvision at all, or mod it.

I'm seeing the possibility to control train routes by factory demand here, sounds fantastic!

Is that a Mr. Fusion in there? Awesome, the icons look great!

Confirming, Linux Mint 17.1 Xfce 64-bit using 64-bit Factorio. No mods installed, cannot begin research after updating to 0.12.14. Also tried fresh downloads of 32-bit and 64-bit clients, cannot close the tips window on new game.

I generally transition my boilers over to solid fuel as soon as I can since I also use solid fuel to run trains and my car. I use a quadruple chest belt buffer to keep the oil flowing. As far as smelting, I don't bother because electric furnaces make that obsolete and I'd end up refactoring twice. A...

One thing one should keep in mind is to make roundabouts at the stations and/or put engines on both sides of the train so it can go back and forth. Kinda obvious, but leaving no stone unturned and all that... Way ahead of you, thanks. Also, are you on the KSP forums? Because we have a user by the s...

My power report says: Consuming: 10 MW Producing: 10 MW (But the green bar is about 30% full) That means you're producing about 30% of full capacity, so your engines should have a total capability of around 30MW. Since you're only consuming 10MW with your factory you have ample reserve and don't ne...

So basically like the bottom diagram here? I would have thought it required more signals...

E: Oh wait, I think I see. Only one direction of travel should use the sidings, that makes sense. Thanks for the tip!

With sidings, obviously. I've been struggling with the signal layout at the sidings and stations; getting a lot of blinking.

Or is it just a better idea to run two tracks side by side?
