Thanks for all the work on the beacon. I like it, although : What I would remove/change are the metal plates screwed on the ground around the tower. Another entity has the same "hole" design: the silo. And it hasn't any metal plates and screws around it. Looking at the new beacon then at the silo, o...

I think the new gui looks really good and logically laid out. It solves a lot of the annoying problems with the existing system, like robots bringing a 2nd copy of all your logistic request items when you die. It makes trash slots more accessible and understandable how they relate to your request s...

Why there is separate Thrash only area on logisitic tab? For logistic slot, You can set number of request items 0, and number of max to 0 then you just created the auto-thrash slot. its ok. Perhaps you can make UI even more clean, combine thrash with logistic. Perhaps add a thrash bin icon next to ...

You can specify a delay with the "Entity tooltip delay" option in the Interface settings, doesn't it achieve what you want ?

My go on a virtual weapons only solution : 1/ All weapons are virtual and given for free when respective technology is researched : - player begins with pistol as only available weapon. - military 1 grants the shotgun and transforms the pistol into an SMG. - military 3 transforms shotgun into combat...

I guess all weapons have to become virtual for this suggestion to be consistent : I wouldn't like seeing pistol disappear while shotgun and its combat shotgun upgrade are being kept as items. Then we're left with flamethrower & rocket launcher, and it is already very late in the game to learn that w...

High resolution icons are a planned feature :

This is solved for me since 0.18.7.

There's now more entities playing their sound the same time and running along machines renders huh "transitions" very smoothly. There may be more bug reports regarding sound that can be marked as solved if this stays as is.

I could make directories, but I can't see them in the loading menu so there's no point.

When I create directories in the saves folder, they do appear in the loading menu :
Or did I misunderstood your post ?

I found out that in editor you can't set the same entity tag on 2 different entities. If you do so, the older one gets removed without notification. How to reproduce : - in /editor, place 2 entities of any kind which support entity tag input, - type anything in entity 1 "entity tag" field - copy pas...

I confirm that I can insert any fluid in vanilla electric miners placed on uranium. Yet, you can't place miners filled with different fluids next to each other, so in that matter, fluid mixing prevention is working perfectly fine. I guess the game simply doesn't prevent you from using drills as pipe...

TL;DR Delete the Follower robot count mechanic (follower cap & technologies altogether), make it infinite as soon as Combat robotics is researched. What ? I propose that - Follower robot count becomes theorically infinite (in reality, it would be capped by robot lifetime & capsule throwing speed), ...

If you remove enemies from base game, is PvP scenario alone enough for keeping ammo/turrets/military science/artillery in the base game ? That would lead to a massive loss of interest in a large part of vanilla IMO. Edit : although, no one should fear to suggest anything for improving the game, even...

The offshore pump sound is now almost hidden by the fluid flowing in pipe sound + wind. The buzzing was cool, as we don't stand very often near offshore pumps. I can't explain why, but it made me picture a japanese movie. Like, a Kitano one.

Thank you for your work !

Of course, here it is. Push the environment sounds to max volume and run along centrifuges to hear the issue.

Looks similar to 80707 .

When character runs along a line of working machines (any), their sound starts and stop in a very obvious way that sounds glitchy : https://youtu.be/LtkDIKEZFPs

Didn't look back at how was 0.17, but this has never occured to me before 0.18.0.

Hi, when 1 single bot is working, it plays the same sound continuously :
https://youtu.be/cIW05K1bIkU

This doesn't happen when several bots are on screen.

If I understand correctly, there can't be more than 3 machines playing the same sound at once : labs.jpg This is very fine for labs. The new pumpjack sound however has a really distinct splash sound at the very beginning, like a cymbal hit, followed by a quieter pipe sound. Because of this high cont...

The campaign I was dreaming of was an alternative Factorio experience via narration, scripts and polished sceneries. Something that could ease players who like those things into the game, and also that would showcase the mod/script potential of Factorio, to inspire creators. So I'm not mad at the ca...
