well trains can run on solid fuel. but only on coal or wood which don't have any bonus speed value. also liquid fuel furnaces are available with flammables research. and before you jump back to the "no gameplay value" consider that there is liquid fueling system already in the game. not th...

indeed the steam locomotive doesn't make in factorio much sense... but that's for the suggestion part. but trains having fuel tank that can use liquid fuel though makes more sense (also when we got the fluid wagon)

I don’t think this gets ever implemented, because I don’t see the extra gameplay-value. And you can see it so: there is already the solid fuel. Power in Factorio produces pollution and that’s also the point for the electric smelters: they can use clean power. With switching power source from coal t...

This is a really good idea... also this could be great for how landfills work and redirecting water to be in more suitable areas.

TL;DR dislike how you need to fuel your furnaces with solid fuel? let's reinvent fossil fuels! What ? This is changed mainly targeted at furnaces, but this change would affect vehicles aswell. Liquid fuel furnaces (crude oil). very fast and based on fuel eko friendlier (furnace with base speed of 3...

originating from comment on s3e08 entry level to megabase by katherineofsky people are wondering what is the main character of the game. jokingly saying it is a robot or machine controled by fish
so i thought it would be great idea to continue here on factorio forums.

i think this isn't the way to go. i liked the old design for being simple yet something that is inovative. it just looks much better then the fueled version beacuse it wasn't just drill straped to an engine. but the new design? not so much. i think the miner shouldn't be drill but something that doe...
