Love it! Just thinking, if you're thinking the "trees" are less tree like, you could have the implication that the living bit is below the surface - maybe put some tendrils (or like suckers) low down, like roots, with more colour, but with the implication the originally the whole tree was ...

Yeah, agreed. That looks really good.

I know, the thing I'm curious about is why the sum over the column is meaningful - as it sums over values which don't correlate. The sum represents the probability that the item will level up regardless of how many levels it raises, it is to know what percentage does not level up. Sorry about the s...

What does the "Total" row represent? Total represents the sum of said row or column. I know, the thing I'm curious about is why the sum over the column is meaningful - as it sums over values which don't correlate. What does the "% Level Up in 1 level" represent? "%" re...

Here: Cost.ods I don't really understand your spreadsheet. What does the "Total" row represent? - From the formula, it's the number of modules of a given level you'd get if you inputted one of each level of module? What does the "% Level Up in 1 level" represent? And what do the...

I have a question, how have they carried out the calculations to obtain that the cost of creating a legendary item is 56 times more, 116 according to a correction they made or Hmm, ok, I've just made a spreadsheet to come up with the numbers, and it seems right, and it's now giving 40x as expensive...

To my knowledge there is no wildcarding in Factorio searches.
The reason I commented was to note there are lots of different systems of wildcards, of which Microsoft's is only one.

I love the cel-shaded look of the concept art hub, I'd pay $10 for an official cel-shaded skin for Factorio.

Yeah, actually that would be really fun

If you are going to ridicule me, at least don't make things up. That way you won't make a fool of yourself. The one making a fool out of themselves here is you, not me. You didn't mention what I made up, because there are no examples of it. Just to try and, like, help the communication, I think cur...

I would go with regular artillery posts along the train line, using a resupply train and an artillery train (and some circuit network stuff). You don't need many to clear the whole line, and while it would get attacked, it could just be heavily defended.
That or some mod/settings changes.

Yeah, I'd second this - generally I really want train stop names remembered, and if I don't its for specific reasons.
I'd love this to be the case for all blueprints...

The game currently does not support the concept of overlapping logistic networks. Entities that register in logistic networks can only be in 1 network at a time so overlapping networks simply are not supported at the engine level. There's a *ton* of logic that goes into making overlapping construct...

For now you could try https://mods.factorio.com/mod/LogiNetChannels

Ok, that's not bad, I'll see if I can use the same approach for my use-case...

Suppose there are two overlapping networks. Which one should process logistic requests? Yeah, that's a big question. The same can be said about processing construction requests. If the game engine doesn't support a good answer to that, then I'll take that, no problem - I can find workarounds. If th...

That's fair. I tend to go between a few mod configurations, so I sync on the save-games I have, but it does mean I don't use many QOL mods.

I was thinking if you were building by hand, do it from inventory, if by ghost, then what is in the network. If by ghost and not in the network? Probably by what is researched. I'm not too bothered if it uses belts the player doesn't have, as nothing it was gonna do before would get it to work - at ...

TL;DR Add some mechanism to mod in a logistic network which can be distinct from the regular logistics network even while overlapping. What? I have several ways of implementing this: Allow logistics_connection_distance < logistics_radius (in particular logistics_connection_distance=0 and not connec...

TL;DR When a blueprint is placed with a belt, machine or inserter which isn't available, an available alternative should be used, then flagged for upgrade. What ? When a machine is ghost built, but the machine isn't available in the network at the time, a lower level machine should be built, then f...

I hate to do this, but I'm gonna bump this post, as it's still really annoying to not have this. My current approach is to disable all mods, then enable the ones I want, but then there are some I always want, and always have to enable - honestly this alone reduces the number of mods I use by a huge ...

TL;DR When drag-placing belts and crossing obstacles which the belts don't make it across, the game should use higher level belts if available. What ? When dragging to place belts (or ghost belts), and an obstacle is reached which the current undergrounds cannot make it under, a higher level of bel...
