Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

As others stated, the first video seems a bit weird.

I understand that the problem here is the bottom left pipe network area which we don't fully see and is too big. But why is the blinking so close to the pump on the right ? Won't this new system entice noobs to place ...

I'm glad you made the choice of complex setups instead of just 1 powerful entity, it is truly the spirit of Factorio.

Congratz, seems really good to me. Combined with quality and productivity research, I think it'll make a nice smooth curve from start to big base.

Re: Friday Facts #407 - Automating a soundtrack

This concerns today's and past week FFFs.

1. If Verdi's Dies Irae was included in the Factorio Nauvis playlist, players would be distracted. No matter if you set the volume of the track to 2%. They would be VERY distracted the first time they hear it, and then a little less, but always a little ...

Re: Friday Facts #400 - Chart search and Pins

Great !

There's two things I'd like to see in the final version :
- Being able to reorder pins list by mousedragging. I'm the kind who deletes all the pins to redo them in the right order... :oops:
- Getting the circuit network speaker alerts a proper grouping like other alerts : same icon > same ...

Re: Friday Facts #396 - Sound improvements in 2.0

Cool !

The water sound seems a bit loud and over demonstrative.

I'm hyped about this new Vulcanus ambient sound, it's a bit sad that we can't hear it today tho :)

Re: Friday Facts #394 - Assembler flipping and circuit control

Great FFF.

1 : Maybe you could rename the stack inserter into bulk inserter right away in the next 1.1 release, to let people get used to it ?

Regarding the Stack inserter and Bulk inserter name FLIP, :geek: you better do something about "inserter stack size bonus", "override stack size" and ...

Ah, once again, 2 epilepsy points.

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints

Thanks for sharing this ! IMO, it's a really nice to have feature for cleaning my train book. That's about it. I mean, I already have several robomalls blueprint that carry a special feature (like iron stick assembler to avoid carrying those by bots) so they're not replaceable by a generic one ...

Merry Christmas!

I gave it some thought, and I think this group assignment interface :

should be :
"Group :" and next to it, a drop-down menu (the light gray one that is already present in the game), where the last option is "create new group". It may be not the solution you want ...

Re: Friday Facts #389 - Train control improvements

Great ! In general I'm all about having the fewest blueprints possible (but the more versatile ones possible), so getting a simple solution to merge all different ores into 1 blueprint is great.

I encountered the reservation problem once or twice, but found a workaround with trains waiting at their ...

Whoa, great work, great FFF...

I don't know how finished the fluids aspects are, but I think molten copper and lava should look more different.
I also wonder if the molten metals "fluids" will get a thicker, slower spread in pipes. All the time i encountered molten metals in mods I thought they ...

Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0


I find it weird you chose to use the selector combinator to "select" the stack size or rocket capacity of item signals. It does not seem like the kind of procedure that needs a dedicated operation inside a combinator. You could have added these options as a new radio button next to the "1" and ...

The new decider combinator GUI has so many challenges, props to you for delving into it. As stated by others, the R and G in plain white normal font could be made better. At least, R and G would be better. Maybe using the red and green wire icons ? Oh, I forgot... These items are getting removed ...

Except for one thing that seems a little weird: Building purely by ghost.

I can understand why the platform shouldn't have logistic bots, but why couldn't it have construction bots? It feels like a break in realism...OK, OK, I already know what you're thinking. :D
