Apologies if this is already know, I checked the forums and didn't see it.

Simply put, my space platform received a delivery from a rocket silo while in-motion between planets. I think it occurred because I manually sent up the rocket just as the platform's wait condition was fulfilled (ftr, was "0 ...

TL;DR
A device that can receive belt feed of any stack size and output stacks of a set size.

What?

Currently, there's no simple way to un-stack stacked items on a conveyor aside from having inserters transfer them from one conveyor to another. While some have suggested an option to limit the ...

Inserters have a setting to gather based on freshness and prioritize least fresh or freshest; how about an identical setting for Quality, and set it to prioritize moving higher or lower Quality items first? A niche use perhaps, but could be useful, like when feeding tons of stuff into recyclers ...

Similar, but not exactly the same. I picture it more like blueprinting a series of stops and conditions that can be saved and copied between trains/platforms, and then tweaked or modified once in place.

TL;DR

Allow us to group stops and conditions for trains and space platforms into schedules that can be assigned easily.

What?

Group stations under a header "Schedule" (same as there's now the "Interrupts" header) with buttons for "Create Schedule", "Add Schedule", and "Erase Schedule ...

Well, I feel stupid. I honestly didn't notice and thought they didn't.

Simply put, I think that if the bots are removing an item from anywhere, unless it is requested somewhere in the network, they should prioritize storing it in a Storage Chest (assuming there are any) that has been set to filter that item. For example, commanding bots to remove Rare Steel Plates from ...

The sudden discovery of a fifth planet between Vulcanus and Nauvis was unexpected, but you quickly set out to survey this new world and see what resources it holds. As your pod descends its sensors go wild with alerts about dangerous compounds in the air. When it sets down and the door opens, you ...

I'm not sure if this would be considered a bug, but imho it's an oversight that should be fixed. Lower tier Modules of higher Quality can have superior stats to a higher tier Modules with lower Quality, but when you Ctrl+Click in a machine and place modules this way, it will automatically place the ...

The problem is how to implement it. What if you don't need a full rocket worth of materials? It'd never send anything. This can happen in two ways - firstly, you're not requesting enough to fill the rocket, and second, if the weight doesn't perfectly fit into a rocket.

How would you handle this ...

That's odd. By memory It should be entirely possible to replenish rocket ammo faster than it's used around Aquilo, even with the big asteroids eating it up. Though I've not experimented with stationary platforms around Aquilo, specifically.

I don't have a clear picture of your setup, so I have a ...

my platform needed to have much larger, more complex infrastructure than I planned
Even blue science requires much larger and more complex infrastructure than most players initially planned for. So, do the same thing you did with all other unplanned complexities—plan for it.

"Do what you do ...

Easy to explain why - it's useless and clutters the HUD so we can't read it. The minimap doesn't show us anything helpful, even on a huge platform bigger than the minimap I don't think it'd be much help navigating. On the other hand, its presence coupled with the platform's destination, speed ...

Simply put, the way Rocket Silos and orbital platforms interact with the logistics network is very shoddy and haphazard.

Perhaps the most frustrating part is that when a platform is requesting parts for construction, a rocket silo sends up a full load of a single item requested, instead of the ...

When I first reached Aquilo, I attempted to build a stationary orbital platform to supply the planet with Iron and Copper, among other resources. This proved unfeasible due to a simple factor that made this concept much more complex than it seemed - Big Asteroids. Their presence meant my resource ...

I encountered this issue with attempting to craft Nutrients from Fish. I don't know if this would be considered a bug, but I do think it is an issue that is not intended. Simply put, if you have a sufficiently large quantity of Fish and Shift-Queue up a lot of production of Nutrients, if those ...

- Please improve the AI of rocket silo logistics. Currently, bots don't deliver cargo to a rocket until its ready to launch, even though it's possible to load cargo onto it while it's under construction. They also deliver full rocket loads of construction materials needed for space platforms even if ...

This came to me while watching my missile turrets shoot at asteroids that were passing by the sides of my platform while ignoring the ones about to smash into them - allow us to adjust the firing area for all turrets. Make it like a toggle in a right-side bar, by default the turret shoots anything ...

It's not feasible to start big and go for the "final factory" just from the start, because it's extremely inefficient. If you start big in the early game, this will be dwarfed by the new machines you unlock later. A big field of moduled smelters and assembling machines can be simply replaced by 2-3 ...

I've sunk over 2600 hours into vanilla Factorio, and have been putting off buying Space Age because I know it'll consume me and I have things that need to be done first. However, it's occurred to me that I may not necessarily care for Space Age's gameplay style, and am looking for others to offer ...
