1. propose a controversial half baked change
2. get furious feedback
3. propose a controversial half baked change with an cherry on top

And the cherry is unripe too. I agree with the whole sentiment.


Wube, this change is a bad idea inherently. Doubling down on it (making players need to belt ...

You are treating an Early-Access game as a service game. This is not a service game. There are no guarantees for backwards compatibility, EA is specifically for the developer to DEVELOP the game, including experimenting and breaking eggs, we are just onlookers.

Factorio users were especially ...

Your mods are using the emissions variable for pollution, while in 0.17 the correct one is emissions_per_minute; this causes very non-integer pollution numbers on machinery ingame and issues with mods that assume that everyone has fully updated and try to change the latter.

Why are rolls, except for nickel, called sheet coils, and why is there a bunch of unavailable or nonsensical (like manganese - it's used as ingots, not sheets) ones, but not a tin sheet roll?

Some day I will figure out what the expected path to automating wood production is without bob's greenhouse mod. I refuse to harvest thousands of wood by hand. I tried to figure out some of the processes with Angel's Bio Processing this time around and got lost a dozen recipes deep.

It's green ...

Is it intended that with not-quite-complete (missing logistics and enemies from Bob's side) AngelBobs, the only remaining recipes in Bob's electrolyzer are lithium-water-electrolysis, lithium and heavy-water-electrolysis? These are required for T2 battery recipe used in a bunch of Bob's Power ...

I'd like to add that modern locomotives are only sideless because they're electric and electric motors don't care which direction to rotate in. Even fuel-using ones merely generate electricity onboard instead of taking it from the grid, and purely mechanical locomotives are much slower due to ...

Thanks for the report however you seem to be misunderstanding how the blueprint library works.

When you import a blueprint or book you're creating the item on your cursor - it's not in the blueprint library. When you click it into the library it puts a copy into the library but the original item ...

Thanks for the report. This is unfortunately a limitation of the game as it is currently. An entity can't have 2 output inventories that inserters will grab from meaning the boiler which already has the main fuel as output can't also have the burnt result output.

I've yet to see an effective ...

For example, importing a blueprint or a book and dropping it into the library immediately adds copy in inventory. Creating a new book and dropping it into personal library also adds an empty book to inventory. Moving blueprints between shared/personal sides of the library does not create inventory ...

As a tribute to Arumbas mega-game, the "build by" was renamed to "last user" and it is updated whenever the entity is: rotated, has circuit condition changed, setting pasted, recipe changed, filter changed, output signal changed, cominbator settings changed,

Oh, nice! Now only needs to have a ...

Game Tweaks:
Making some Vanilla recipe's more realistic.
Stone Wall: adds Iron Sticks (Rebarb) to recipe
Concrete: Uses Iron Sticks (Rebarb) and not Iron-Ore
Rail (Vanilla and Wood): Uses Crushed Stone and not Stone
Trees Give Random 1 - 6 Raw Wood
Tree Collision box made smaller
Steel Axe ...

I have a question. Which of the rail designs here the autolayer cannot do at least as quickly as manually laying curved rails? I'm asking because I'm interested in getting superior upgrades that are actually superior, and not just claimed as such.
