I believe there are some inconsistencies in the other direction as well: Some items being much faster to recycle than they should be.

Take rocket silo for example. Suppose I want to produce quality rocket silos. Let's compare two methods:

Craft rocket silo then recycle low quality results ...

I can reproduce this in 2.1.7

It feels like the previous 10 years were all leading up to this one singular moment: New assembler graphics.

In FFF-115 they briefly show how the voice was recorded for the narrated trailer. It is unclear who is the voice actor but most likely someone on the team at that point.

They talk about the space age trailer in FFF-433 . It seems to be narrated by the same person except without going through the ...

I think it would be really cool to see some kind of boss fight in space. It would be an interesting challenge to design a space platform to take on a huge malevolent(...?) monster or machine with distinct attack and defense patterns that possibly evolve over the fight.

• When dragging belts, going forward and back will remove the extra belts built.
• When using smart belt building to make a turn, the player can decide to change the direction after the turn by dragging in the opposite direction.

Very nice.

+1 for free camera. Having the ability to look at any contraption anytime would be a godsend.

+1 for save states and seeking. For starters it would be useful to be able to name a point in time and have the game seek to that point as fast as possible and then pause. Even if it ends up taking a long ...

TLDR: Pictured is a transport belt decompressing all by itself. I also attached a video and a save for it. Note: The second transport belt after the splitter has control behaviour. For the video and screenshot I removed the connection to better observe the belt ...

As of 2.0.57 there is a new hidden setting called "circuit-network-selection-always-enabled" that forces the checkboxes in combinators to always be enabled regardless of whether a wire is connected or not.

Does opening it just to see what it does count?

A user story

Say I want to set a value in a transport belt condition based on the number of Yumako tree plots I have. The value I want to set is different (by some carefully thought-out-constant factor) but I want to see "Number of Yumako Trees" as a parameter. This is a nice and simple use-case ...

Way, waaaay back in the day when battles were fought between bots and belts, splitters received a shining buff in the form of priorities and a settable filter.

I request prototype support for disabling the ability of splitters to prioritize input, output or filter items. Essentially to be able to ...

When alt-clicking on certain empty locations in the UI the Factoriopedia opens for the tile that happens to be under the mouse behind the UI. (See screenshots.)

Steps to reproduce


Open an entity or the inventory.
Alt-click on an empty space in the UI that does not clearly belong to a ...

+1 for combinator inputs. It is incredibly tedious having to close the UI, connect something, anything to the input and then reopen to configure. I get that it is trying to "teach me" that I have to connect a wire to use the input but once I am up to speed, all this does is create unnecessary ...

TLDR: In base game factorio, when hovering the formula entry for a blueprint parameter, it tells me that "pN_r" is the crafting time of the parameter but it is actually something else.

Steps to reproduce

Enter a map in base Factorio (no mods, no dlc)
Import the blueprint string and start ...
