Pretty cool that a simple research can increase the flammability of every tree on the map! The same way it increase the damage of every bullet on the map when researching bullet damage. I'm guessing that igniting a tree carries data about the original actor that caused the fire, and then applies th...

If you read the rest of it he did overcome the multiple-networks hurdle by just merging them for the sake of the update, but what ultimately wrecked it was that it gave no performance gain: The results And this is where this idea failed completely. I could see our playtesting save file having at lea...

Ah, you're right. They only ever talk about signals and recipes, not the entities themselves. Hmm. Most of my other ideas for how to go about this are kind of kneecapped by the lack of a limit on blueprint book nesting. If there were a limit of say a single book within a book you could change bluepr...

I am 99% sure that the upcoming parameterized blueprints could solve this:

You might just have a lot of parameters

You can point a cloud storage service at your save games

That is not at all what this suggestion is about. So it's about not adding the new stack inserter and instead adding stack size research for burner/yellow/red/blue/green inserters only? Seems like it would feel bad for the same reasons as cutting the green inserter in favor of just having hand size...

Am I to understand this suggestion as simply "cut the green inserter and replace it with a global tech"? Seems silly. This would give you burner/regular/long inserters with 12 hand size and cut the requirement to get oil from bulk insertion unless you moved the tech further down the tech t...

Thanks for the information. But I had to many steam turbines. And it killed the heat coming from the reactors. Generally they operate around 900°C for the switch. But they were only getting to around 530°C. I removed the access turbines and boom, heat back up. Now I have to rearrange for a water up...

My initial thought is I should change the controls to be closer to those in Minecraft. It's not Minecraft, though, so it's fine. Destroying things is much more common than interacting with things in Minecraft (or at least it was back when Minecraft's defaults came into being, where "break"...

Is this fixed with new new rails in 2.0?

I do not know if this Factorio's behavior is good or not.

Limiting how many construction orders are processed per tick keeps the game from freezing when you assign 9000 simultaneous construction orders. It's a good thing.

Yes, there can be many different paths through a block, all with different lengths, but the only one that matters is the one the train is actually taking. My point was that even just finding that value is not trivial. Add to the complications now that you could wind up with a train insisting on pat...

Before I had an NVIDIA 3060, which was not different for Factorio.

Are you saying the Nvidia card had the same problem?

[*]The biggest unanswered question of the proposal is how the chain signal should indicate when it is blocked because of a lack of room on the other side [*]This suggestion isn't about 'eliminating gameplay' or 'enabling bad track design'.

The case against this is kind of made by quality and recycling. Heck, even bringing back the pickaxe (but please without durability) could be an option!

I'll concede to you on belt immunity and night vision, though. Other than reduced power draw I don't know what those would get with quality.

I got turned off of 3d factory building with Satisfactory, which wasn't. Positioning things was an enormous chore. I'm with Loewchen in that the only thing I'd even want to be 3d'd in Factorio is graphics, but even the 2d graphics have the *significant* advantage of making the modding process easier...

I use the CUT shortcut as a quick way to get a decon planner onto my cursor, so whatever the solution is shouldn't break under that use (it seems such an obvious shortcut). ...how is ctrl x faster than alt d? 1) I didn't know about ALT+D. 2) ALT requires moving my thumb from the centre of the space...

It seems like this logic would only have an effect if you did the deconstruction order before the construction order was assigned to a robot, otherwise the items would already be en route. Or did a super force build that issued the orders simultaneously.
