@Qon: Btw you can now use LuaPlayer.build_from_cursor() to at least partially get something undoable.

Thanks for sharing
Might require some horrible hacks that break other things and only works for some mods with awkward interaction but that could at least be something.

The point of the abstraction idea (to me at least) is to not make the game easier. Faster assemblers just makes the game of logistics and game of space management and factory design x times easier when you make assemblers x times faster.

With correctly scaled (icon for recipe and item is correctly scaled in inventory and crafting tab) icons, the alt view for entities is at the same time not correctly scaled. For https://mods.factorio.com/mod/CapsuleAmmo it means the items introduced gets a 1x1 pixel sized icon in alt view on assembl...

There should be actual nuclear artillery shells.

Capsule Ammo by Qon
among others.
There's several mods for that if you want it. My mod is the best one, imo

In that thread I posted about the solution. The game already has text "text plates" buildable in game. There's a mod for that: Signal Signs by Qon It makes (vanilla) text comments with constant combinator blueprints made from text input, using the alt mode and letter signals. There's some ...

Yes please! This is the reason I use mods that improve my building reach, so I don't have to hear "Duduh!!!" and then try again all the time. And it's frustrating to use the same key for rotating counterclockwise as ghost building, which makes it really confusing when I want to do clockwis...

Would you also fix 3rd of my long term pain. Add Description for a combinator. Due to complexity of some creations, it is great to prevent re-invent wheel feel and allow write notes what is what, what it is doing/idea/guide. Basiicaly same descrition box as blueeprint has. Yea it's hard to understa...

yagaodirac is trying to design a new game around the abstraction optimization tech. Ah ok. I missed that somehow. But I think it's a bad idea attempting to do it as a mod for Factorio. You'd be attempting to circumvent the game simulation in a game that's built around everything (that is built by p...

What is the point spending 300hrs on a save, when there is only one thing, which is 100% going to happen, and it's reaching the roof. Already when creating a new world I can tell you when it is going to end. I know that the game cannot be simply turned to multithreaded, but it would make me feel a ...

I think we should review the design of this game, rather than base on it and then try something epic but not very practical. I already know it to be great. Why should we review it, in this context? If we are modding then if we think something sounds cool and worth implementing and do it then that's...

What am I missing? Single headed require way more space for those loops. Especially noticable for smaller stations where the loop requirement might not be easily satifiable and at the early stages where you don't have the space for those right where you want it. Double headed trains are way more co...

This could enable some cool mods...

creative mod starts out by giving you the choice of starting with cheats (everything researched) and has a button to unlock all tech.

New poles are better.

This thread is meaningleas. No argument for why means there's no substance to critique and no need for any counter argument to refute your position.

I'll be honest, I wasn't exactly expecting 66% of people to try and shoot this down over balance concerns. If you don't like double-headed trains, nobody is forcing you to use them, guys.

This is an argument against balance. Just remove the thread if that's your position.

I have made a mod to solve this issue and more. I never released it, but maybe it's time I polished and released it now?

Bomb range revert: viewtopic.php?p=509469#p509469

I might look into making it deal proper damage and fix the explosion size some other time. Or someone else does it.

deaths would just give a penalty to the path finder distance

This problem is easily solved by making these "too-much-death-no-go-zones" relative.

Yes, that is the effect of what I said.

Biters shouldn't be just another production that you've built and forgot about, it's more fun when it's a looming threat that you have to deal with. If I just wanted to get rid of this strategy, than I would've suggested swimming biters, but I want water walls to still be a legitimate strategy, but...

This should probably be in the modding help section, right? But please clearly state what you need help with. Also please tell us what your mod is supposed to do, it makes it much easier to help you. If you had told us that earlier I could have pointed you to the rcon API earlier and you wouldn't ha...
