Plug it into a external monitor and keyboard/mouse.

Or atleast completely redo the controls.

ofc this thread is about the explicit type of filtering, not the automatic one.

Hmm I don't really like that normal inserters also get the ability to bulk-insert. i'm fine with the bulk inserter getting upgrades.

One more small con I have against inserter filtering as a tech is that it changes the functionality of affected entities to such an extent that updated recipes would be expected. How can the same simple Burner inserter that is crafted from a iron gear wheel and a iron plate suddenly be capable of ...

Since it has a pretty niche use case then anyway (that's what most people imply here) then the best option seems to be simply how it already was, a special inserter that can do that where you need it. Problem was the unique coloring but as I pointed out before, maybe a good solution can be found for ...

Only reasonable restriction is having filters be gated by a specific entity which you need to craft, which means having a special technology that unlocks inserters with filters. For base game we decided that there is not enough colors to make inserters look unique and so we decided having less ...

Agree 100%, especially with the complexity for new players thing. The worst part is, by having this tech always from the start on even the simplest inserters it encourages a playstyle that is sub-optimal, relying on the filters instead of setting up proper logistics. Like this is 'the' way to play ...

Space Age is getting good reviews but not as good as Factorio did before 2.0.

Few things I wanna say, as I hope devs might be reading this thread. First, Reddit is trash. You never know how many bots are there trying to manipulate the direction of your game for whatever reason (remember your game ...

This is a MAJOR oversight :P But seriously I never liked the change that allows all inserters to filter anyway, it's rather lame imo. Having inserters filtering items is a niche use case which was perfectly fitted for that single special inserter which you had to use. If you need this constantly ...

To get back to OP's question: Did circular belts always halt on full load?

I don't think so. At least I remember countless situations where the items would keep circulating even is the belt was completely filled. I also remember this behavior changing at a certain point. This was 4 years ago or ...

You are kinda right, in every game in 1.1 I always rushed electricity. Because of this I never really saw the point of having the burners in the game when they were already obsolete from the beginning.

I like that they put Electric mining drill behind a research in 2.0 but considering how powerful ...

Did this work or display different in 1.1?

After thinking a bit more, maybe it would be cool and easier to implement if biters could simply expand anywhere, even inside or next to your base. This would also fix the expand block cheesing which I already figured out in my very first Factorio game by just dropping pipe segments everywhere ...

if you ask me, this way to generate power on vulcanus is broken and unfun.

So just use solar, which is extremely cheap to build on Vulcanus. The only downside is the space requirement (but even that is still much less than on Nauvis).


You obviously use the method that works best. That's why ...

Man I think you need a proper holiday, I can recommend Bali.

I know that rampant exists but what I mean is more that biters act like in a RTS game, e.g. send out patrols, continue trying to kill your base after they found it, even if it stopped producing pollution.

I know factorio aint no RTS but I kinda miss that you really can be defeated in this game. Like if biters would patrol ssometimes, looking for enemies, just stuff that happens independent of the polution cloud.

What do u guys think?

Agree with OP, cheesing legendary quality like that should ot be possible. Im sure this is on the devs list for 2.1.

Don't worry guys, at some point they will reintroduce the 1.1 fluid system into Space Age upon which the game will be un-ruined again.

Probably everyone is playing Space Age

probably not and maybe it will be changed.
