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.

I don't think we've ever seen productivity modules in recyclers for this exact reason.

Does the bottom miner have coal as an expected resource?

It doesn't, it has only stone as an expected resource.

From what boskid said, it looks like it had coal under it when you placed it and the nearby miner mined it all before you noticed the problem.

Statements "It is not going to happen" may not last forever. Sometimes things do change. 2.5 years has already passed.

I can add another "No" to re-up for the next 2.5 years.

Maybe we can get it in the Factorio 2 engine

I want new enemy info before release, but like, just before release. All I'd want before then is just a confirmation of "yep there will be new enemies too."

Note traditional side loading messes up even upstream of a lane balancer. Upstream.gif It messes up upstream of a lane balancer that isn't input balanced. That balancer is only output balanced. It won't draw evenly from its input. If you use one like this it won't matter what happens to the output:...

Neat sushi loading. Have you done any testing on how it behaves in different consumption and filling regimes? I.e. does it self correct if input is resumed or can it deadlock if it's starved of one input for too long? It looks like it would probably be fine if the input is restricted to a half yello...

To install Factorio on Steam, you need to install Steam first, for starts. For pure stand-alone Factorio it's just "unzip and go". If your preferred way of using software is "unzip and go", you have very special interpretation of convenience :D I do and I'm tired of pretending t...

Could model the parts of one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_ ... ower_plant

Scenario: - rail network - a track section with a train stop in it - several tracks merge into that track section and are separated from it by rail chain signals (the entrances) - the track section with the train stop splits into several tracks, which are separated from it by a rail signal (the exi...

How would a quick succession of two (or more) cliffs be handled in this context, knowing there are only two rail levels ? Might have to be implemented as a cliff ramp item. Elevated rails themselves need to ignore cliffs as shown in the preview. So you'd have to do something janky like it only offe...

One thing that you see some speed runners do in some categories is start running boilers and steam engines on solid fuel from oil instead of coal. Or if you want to continue using coal for power, running it through coal liquefaction and converting the result to solid fuel also increases efficiency o...

Maybe there's another weapon that can cause damage, even if the Engineer is flying around at a high speed (I only use personal lasers)? Rockets, especially explosive rockets. The way the jetpack works removes the slow-down drawback of handheld weapons, and once you do that a rocket launcher with ex...

It's a setting in the jetpack mod that damages shields while moving, proportional to speed. Before that and the "taking damage from biters makes the jetpack turn off" functionality you could become a hovering god that biters couldn't touch, massively trivializing all combat on foot. Person...

But vehicles interact with inserters, so they have issues using it. I'm not sure if it would be better to apply it to vehicles when they're more than a few chunks from inserters, because the jerk when you enter non-hiding range would be pretty severe. You can actually notice that jerk on foot when ...

This is probably going to be impossible to diagnose without pictures.
