Re: Set requests for space platform hub via circuit signals

For me ATM it would be sufficient to have a multiplier taken from signal. But +1.

Just tested this. Ghost gate doesn't do the trick. Actually building the gate ofc allow the wall to be connected but when you undo the gate connections are lost. So nope.

Re: [2.0.60] Inconsistent circuit connection to ghost/real walls

Ok. I personally find it inconsistent from user experience.

What I'm doing to work around it is to stop platform to order build materials, build all walls in storage in random place and then work with ghosts. Until all is setted up.

It's still annoying since real wall refuse to conenct to ghosts ...

Re: [2.0.60] Inconsistent circuit connection to ghost/real walls

I'm totally for that btw.

Regardless of what you decide, imho either both ghosts and real walls allow circuits or both do not allow them. Now ghosts work and real walls don't.

[2.0.60] Inconsistent circuit connection to ghost/real walls

Very easy to replicate by placing wall ghosts on empty (disconnected) space on any platform: you can connect wall ghosts to circuit networks. Once the wall is built, the connections remain and works however now the game refuses to connect any more cables to the wall.

Which means that you either ...

Re: Friday Facts #437 - Cargo Pod Deep Dive

When I first sent the engineer to space that animation was pure magic. And the planetfall as well, it is an emotion for every new planet.

I really love this expansion. It makes me wish there were more and more worlds to explore and exploit.

Apparently, they are not really territorial animals (worms?). I expected them to react somehow when one comes to the territory of another, but they just clip through each other :lol:

Copy Quality Setting

TL;DR
I'd like to have a shortcut to copy just the quality settings from an entity into another.

What?
For instance, suppose I have a row of inserters each one configured with a different filter item to common quality. I'd like to configure manually the first one, let's say a filter battery ...

Shit... I had my employer release scheduled this week end and 4 days holidays already booked from Tuesday since June. But ofc stupid contractors messed up and now I it has been postponed 1 month. Don't spoil anything on this forum in the coming weeks or I will send you a demolisher at home. :mrgreen:

Now... shouldn't the heat pipes attach to the machines on this planet? If the atmosphere is that cold having a tube nearby won't be enough, right? It would just disperse the heat.

Re: Friday Facts #432 - Aquilo

So the embargo lifts on Monday.

I don't know if I will have the change to play the week after release and I will avoid content cretors for a while.

If I come back here for FFF will there be spoilers too? Or will it be safe?

Re: Friday Facts #429 - Vulcanus Demolisher Enemies


It seems pretty antithetical to Factorio to me - as a big part of vanilla is that biters continually drain your resources, until you've invested quite a bit in a fully sustainable defense (e.g., lasers + flamethrowers).


Only that iron and copper are infinite on vulcanus so there is no point ...

Could be, but they already revealed the tesla turret, and mentioned in that FFF that there was a hand-held version, so it's not really something they can't talk about yet.

Just a thought. All these changes to logistic, trains and automation in general we saw in the last months, they are awsome but they make me wonder if those features should be unlocked "incrementally" with different research.
