I see what you are saying, but as I mentioned before complexity is kind of the point of my suggestion. Yes it adds complexity, that I think can easily be made optional for the player before they start a map, and it's not illogical complexity as it has basis in reality so it's not abstract and feels ...

Exactly, and what if cracking heavy oil was optimal at 200 degrees with a distribution curve on either side that reduces the efficiency. Idk, might just be a mod idea.

I see what you are saying but I personally think that having an alternative to metal containers can be used in really interesting ways. Just spit balling here, but what if heat containment were a real factor? What if to transport hot liquid long distances you would need to put them in insulated ...

Hey all, enjoying the new .15 and fixing all the now broken processes of my factory and I was thinking about how I want to do uranium mining. I already have an extensive oil barrel network so I thought I would just adapt it to also include sulfuric acid. However, sulfuric acid can corrode steel ...

A really easy solution I found for this problem is to just set up a requester chest for repair packs and put it with an inserter next to every roboport that way all roboports stay full all the time.

ah didn't check the balance board darn, i'll head over there thanks

I'm enjoying factorio a lot and was trying to think of some ideas for improving the game and wanted some feedback. I couldn't find a thread already on this topic so I thought I'd make one. The game already has pollution density in it and I was wondering if that pollution ...

Does pollution affect solar panel output?

Ah okay, making sure all avenues were thought of. I looked up the loader hope that gets implemented soon.

Depending on air pressure, gravity, type of star the planet orbits, and any number of chemical factors in the environment the flora/fauna could look different. Though I don't think realism need dictate the alien life form's structure. It is a little strange that worm/arthropods, trees, and fish are ...

I see your points about the poles, but I'm not suggesting running poles, instead like the water pump have an engine at the beginning or end of the belt. I understand it has been discussed at length. I'm just saying your counterpoint is not addressing my own.

Changed the subject of this subject a bit, according to the discussion! So please read forward to understand, why the original idea will not be implemented and read this https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21058#p133429 and this https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21058 ...
