Re: [DLC] Foundation on vulcanus

The entire point of the expansion planets was to undermine long-standing designs and force players to embrace new ways to play. And it's absolutely awesome as a result because it shakes up the gameplay in very fun ways rather than being simply a color-swapped version on Nauvis with the same gameplay...

Re: [2.0.6] Big Worms nigh unbeatable

You need a tank, explosives, etc.

You can't forgo military science and then complain that the combat is hard. That's what military science is there for.

Re: Tweaks in signals for proper LTN

Id also love an interrupt for "any cargo" without distinguish between liquids or not so that we can use the same interrupts for all our cargo and fluid trains.

I'm surprised the Factoriopedia doesn't have a "inbuilt productivity bonus" stat for every building.

Re: Gleba is a problem

When you flew there, did your ship harvest space rocks to make ammo? I set up a circuit on my ship to stop producing bullets when above 500 in storage, with any excess iron being sent down to the planet. While flying we need everything we can get, but in orbit you should need far more bullets than y...

Re: Ghost underground belts on ghost space platforms

Additionally, undergrounds and pipes don't show the measurement markers, so you don't know if they are too long to connect without guessing

Wire cutters

In much the same way that we can use "empty module slot" to remove modules, it would be nice if there was a "cut green wires", "cut red wires" and "cut green and red wires" filters. Sometimes I want to completely redo a circuit and cutting everything manually ...

Make Space Travel slightly more convenient

What The current situation is this: 1. Turn off Logistics so that our inventory doesn't get refilled while we're putting everything away. 2. Dump everything in chests 3. Manually take our ammo from our ammo slots 4. Jump into rocket. This is quite annoying for various reasons. Here's a proposed sol...

Configure default upgrade/deconstruction planner

What? The Blueprint Library should have the ability to specify a blueprint to use for the default Upgrade Planner and Deconstruction Planner shortcuts. Whenever we use these functions normally (alt-D, etc) it will use the one in the library if it's specified, falling back to the default one if it's...

Re: Parametrized Blueprint variables - parameter stack size

Use a selector combinator. You can get the stack size of your inputs there. I was able to make a completely generic train loading station that automatically disables itself until it's full, with the only parameter being the resource type. You can even drag it, to use it for as many wagons as you wan...

TL;DR Make placing multiple roboports easier by showing their coverage range, even if they aren't built yet. What ?

What? Currently, there's no way to set up a Logistics storage chest (the yellow one) to filter for all items of a given type regardless of quality, you have to set a specific quality level. Because it only allows 1 filter, this is problematic if we want to store all items of a given type regardless ...

Re: Train Interrupt Condition for "Trains with this stop"

Okay, I think I may have solved this in some manner using Circuits. Basically, you need a constant combinator for the train limit (which outputs the preset limit on L), then you need a decider combinator like this: combinator.png Where C is the "Read Train Count" variable of the station, L...

Re: Train Interrupt Condition for "Trains with this stop"

This sounds like a bug/issue with the way train limits work, not something that should necessitate a new condition.

If a stop has a limit of 1, only 1 train should be dispatched to it in the first place.
