What about this case? Diagonal straight rail has front and back signal positions overlapping and so the signal binding logic is implemented to choose if a signal is binding to the front or to the back. If one of those is not possible (because there is also curved rail nearby forcing a merge of diag...

A very similar bug happens with train stops. Can I rely on the train always clearing the previous block? In this case a 5 length train can fit in the station, but the visualization only shows 4.

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 &qu...

Remember this post?

Well what do you know...

From a different topic...

• Baseline
• Decent
• Good
• Excellent
• Perfect

I also have to say that I don't like the instant remote rotation. You go through all the trouble to make remote view better (ghost items, remote configuration) and of all things rotation is to be left out. It's these sort of inconsistencies that taint the experience the same way as mentioned in the ...

There's a tiny detail I missed: If both WireConnectors are alive (not ghosts) can a wire connecting them be a ghost? No. In that case a wire becomes real wire. I was wondering how this would interact with reach. If ghost wire between real entities is not a thing, there are two options left. Either ...

Now that I think about it, is 2.0 really coming out at the same time as the expansion? Was this even said or implied anywhere? When you say “2.0” what are you referring to, specifically? Specifically, I am referring to the next major update that will most likely include the vanilla changes they men...

Thanks for spoiling it for me anyway and even sending a notification.

Factorio Friday Facts did change huh... I don't like the current ones for two reasons: Upgrades for the base Factorio experience are still golden, but the bittersweet issue is all of that is 2.0 which is more than a year away. I wanted the bot buffs for so long it still feels like we will never get ...

I think there's a better poll out there, anyway.
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=108777

I think there shouldn't even be a poll to begin with, especially not with individual names. (Besides where's the Baseline there?)

If the names would be replaced they should be replaced with names that actually describe quality: Decent Good Great Excellent Perfect 'Great' is is rather hyperbolic compared to the other terms here. One might use it colloquially, but it doesn't really fit on a 'formal' list of quality names. And i...

I wonder if we will also get better schedule management. They did mention something about controlling the train system better in FFF-373 . Refuel and depot stations come to mind here. The ability to skip a station in the schedule if a certain condition is met, or test if a certain station is availab...

Remember this topic from a long time ago?

I think FFFs need spoiler sections now for the expansion. I would like for a way to skip reading about the DLC, because for the first time I am finally going to have the chance to experience a "new" Factorio blind, but at the same time I don't want to miss the news about improving the base...

Factorio largely centers around consistency, particularly for blueprints.

Sure. For brainless noobs that only know how to play the game by filling in someone else's main bus blueprint.

Well a big part of the game is blueprinting your own designs.
