TL;DR
Add the 'Each' signal to 'Set Stack Size' for inserters to use the count of the first item in the filters list or, if there are signal(s) matching the item(s) available for pickup, use the signal count of whatever item is going to be picked up.

Support wildcards in save-file names.

What?
I use save names like 202500509-van-a . (i.e. {start date}-{vanilla/DLC/overhaul mod}-{letter to allow versioned backups}.) Being able to drop --mod-directory ~/.factorio/mods-20250509-van --load-game 20250509-van-g into Steam's 'Launch Options ...

How difficult would it be to spin off the procedural music generator as its own app which uses an existing game/soundtrack install to provide users with a constantly shifting soundtrack for their day without needing to leave Factorio running? Bonus points if there was also a (purchased) mobile app ...

Hello, this is a generic problem in more than this place.
We have an internal proposal to make it configurable almost everywhere from/to which wire you read/write. So you could output to red and read from green for example.

But this is not a trivial change, and because of all the other work ...

It is a bad oversight for a fantastic game. Here is a simple bot mall blueprint. The DC wouldn't be needed if each option in the assembler had red AND green checkboxes beside it. This would also make wiring it up a lot simpler.

An interesting idea for a planet that brings juicy new mechanisms.

That being said, the #1 thing I would add is in-floor heating tiles. (i.e. 1.5x concrete + 1x heating pipe?) For the cost of 50% more concrete, you wouldn't have to try to route heating pipes around structures but could build over ...

However, why an electric smelter (or any smelter) would need an external heat source is beyond my understanding of smelting.

I agree. To get it running, sure, but, after that, it should be a source of heat.

Honestly, I wouldn't allow players to build the Biolab anywhere they want. Instead, make it an upgrade to a captured spawner and require it to still need to receive regular doses of Bioflux to keep it from devolving/going rogue. That would require players to set up a transport network to each one ...

I'm afraid that y'all have completely misunderstood what the biters actually are. They aren't a native species, but, instead, a Terran terraforming tool designed to process all atmospheric gases that aren't conducive to human health. (As MICRO organisms are all too readily mutated into something ...

Since we have a lot of logistic changes, are there any chances of seeing logistic gun turrets?
The main reason why gun turrets fall of in late/post game to me is that supplying them becomes an unjustifiable hassle. Flame throwers just requires pipes and are well worth it. Laser turrets just ...

I forgot: Will there be permanent signals for generated and stored power on all power networks? That would be fantastic, as, whenever there are brownouts, different parts of your base could automatically shut themselves down in a priority sequence to keep the most important parts running at all ...

That is an amazing update! I can't wait until the 21st!

The biggest thing I feel is that a more automated combat system, before robots, spidertrons, or artillery is available. The pollution constraining your growth is very good but the combat really should be significantly more hands off.


Also, turrets shouldn't get double bonuses from upgrades ...

I hope y'all really enjoy yourselves this weekend!

Some thoughts:


One easy way to make biter nests harder to crack would be to give them primitive static defences around the periphery of the nest. (Thickness increases with size of nest):
Earthen berms - Can be (slowly) climbed/flown over, but ...

Nice! One thing that occurred to me was that, because this is so powerful, a firing limitation should be in place. For example, once a pod has fired off its three readied missiles, it should retract into the turret to reload. (If you don't want to add in the extra animation, you could wait until ...

Ever since I typed in a random blues riff(?) music generator BASIC program on an Atari 400, the thought of parametric music has enchanted me. Thank you for making it work for Factorio.

I'm sure a *LOT* of us would appreciate it if y'all made a small app that sat in the taskbar and just played a constant stream of generated music from a valid Factorio install.

I WANT MY LIFE TO HAVE THE FACTORIO SOUNDTRACK!

It's great to see things progressing so well, especially when you show us the various iterations you used to get to the final product. Some thoughts:
The best blueprints include a constant combinator at the input showing what needs to go in each lane and how much per second--multiplied by a ...
