Re: Defence economy balance
as long as you keep the egg rafts outside of the spore cloud.
First, ignoring hatched eggs, if you can keep egg rafts outside of spore cloud (or spawners outside of pollution cloud on nauvis), no defense is required, which is not only limited to flame throwers but ALL types of turrets, and then ...

Flamethrowers are actually incredible on Gleba, much better than rocket turrets, you have to use a lot of them, but they're very cheap to build and fuel, difficulty of provisioning oil is exaggerated, before you can make it in-situ rocket in some coal or ...

Re: Defence economy balance
I do beleve flame throwers are completely fine, as they are the specialized solution for nauvis. It is completely useless on vulcanus and extremely ineffective on gleba due to the difficulty to gain oil there. If a nerf must be applied, they should be add the ability to burn other liquid fuels that ...

Re: Add more decimal places in assembler tooltip
Yes, this is rather confusing, especially when using the processing uranium recipe. Usually it simply shows 0.00 u235 per second, making NO sense at all.
Perhaps allow us to set it to a per minute basis, so the result is big enough to be presented correctly.

Re: Combinators should not affected by freeze
I admit I don't get the point. I don't see a compelling reason for a balancing change. This would be for the whole player base, not just you alone. I am obsessed with circuits, all of my factories including the Aquilo base are heavily depending on circuits. There are numerous combinators ...

Re: Combinators should not affected by freeze
- Put all combinators in the same "group" next to the same heating tower or (unfueled) nuclear reactor so that they always thaw together.
This is a good suggestion. I'll take it. Thank you.

Re: Combinators should not affected by freeze
The combinators freeze and thus fail in a unpredictable order, thus makes the signal system's behavior totally unpredictable. What's more, when such failure is spotted by the player and they try to add more heat supply, they also unfreeze in a random order, still causing great trouble.
You ...

Combinators should not affected by freeze
Currently, combinators consume power, and are affected by freeze. However, a recent change have been made illustrated in https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=131390 , increasing their power consumption and thus improve signal system stability. Regarding this, I think they should be immune to ...

Re: Unpowered beacons still count and reduce transmission efficiency
Not the same thing. I specially pointed out I've seen the posts, and that is about beacons without modules. However, I emphasized my post is about UNPOWERED beacons, i.e. beacons unconnected to a power grid regardless of installed modules.
If you read the topic I linked you see that the ...

Re: Increase Accumulator Maximum Output Rate
Since the game has already introduced the objects known as supercapacitors, why don't we utilize them as ingredient for possible accumulator mk.2's?
Capacitors are known for fast charge/discharge rate, so it is reasonable to dramatically increase their charge/discharge rate, especially the latter ...

Re: Diminishing returns based on module count instead of beacon count?
Offline beacons also behave wierdly. Normally, an unpowered machine will have no function at all. However, an unpowered beacon still reduces the transmission multiplier within its range, despite the fact that they don't work.

Re: [2.0] Add ability to read pipeline contents via circuits
Also +1 for this. The value is already recorded in game, and miners are already given the similar ability. This should not be a technical issue.

Re: Show Fulgora Lightning Rod coverage in map view
Yes! And it can also behave as a toggle for terroritories in vulcanus, which is also a planet exclusive mechanic.
Perhaps the name of this button can be renamed as show local threat, to show enemy/pollution on nauvis/gleba and terroritories on vulcanus and dangerous zone on fulgora.
