TL;DR
Make Thruster Fuel and Thruster Oxidiser barrel-able to support platform-platform transfers and kickstarting large platforms


What?
Allowing thruster fuel and oxidiser to be barrel-able via removal of the current auto_barrel = false line.

Why?
Since 2.1 introduced platform to platform ...

well barrel some water or send asteroid chunks :D


Already barreling water to kickstart nuclear power when there's not much ice laying around. Asteroid chunks don't currently go through the hub on my ships so getting them out logistically forces me to completely redesign a ship for 5 minutes of ...

Ice, Iron ore, Carbon, and Calcite are all Transfer-able items already.


I understand your point, but why give us the option to have platforms that speed up the construction or supply of platforms, and then only allow them to be sent ingredients? Imagine pulling into a petrol/gas station in your ...

Hello, these things are not barrelable on purpose, (by the auto_barrel = false line in the prototypes)


With the release of 2.1 it would be really helpful if the thruster fuel and oxidiser specifically were barrel-able. Platform to platform transfers intentionally make getting a new ship setup ...

> the primary change being splitting the Recycler to its own tiny separate mod.
Is the secondary change making asteroid collectors at common quality not be absolutely trash?
Getting uncommon collectors is literally my only interaction with quality outside of the recycler.
Please can they get a base ...

I've just encountered this too, it certainly feels strange that the platform is demanding far more resources than it actually requires.
In a space and storage restricted context like the plat form this definitely feels like it should be automatically setting the demand threshold. At least for ...

On the Friday facts articles I love the rocket return to top animation, I click it every week.

The rocket loads the animated gifs in on mouseover, but this is already too late to load a big png as the user is already interacting with the GUI.
It would be nice if the rocket was proactively rather ...

Great to see continued Linux / Mac support.

Is there any information about the possibility of the Factorio server binary supporting ARM? Especially with native Apple Silicon support now a thing.
I've personally been keen to run a Factorio server off a free tier Oracle machine for a long time.
