Hello!
I've been playing 2.1 since it came out and i saw and experienced the changes to biter expansion sizes and personally found them incredibly overtuned and it made me think about what this change is meant to accomplish or imply. I mainly was thinking about this because 2.1 specifically ...

Shields not benefitting from resistances of tank or spidertron certainly sounds like a bug!

Hey guys,

I wanted to test some min-maxing. I wanted to build the minimum quantity of miners needed for filling out a belt fully, so I went to an online factorio calculator and wanted to see how many electric miners do I need to fully fill out a blue belt (without any productivity bonues). Turns ...

Is it just me or doesn't it look like Unloading Bay is actually taking up 3x5, instead of 4x5?

Great to see all of the love Factorio is getting.

One thing I've noticed is that with new assembler graphics it's harder to distinguish between L1 and L3 assembler, when looking at the last animated gif of the FFF article, as there's less assembler signature color and more shared color like, gray ...

You see it in the minimap, yes, but not on the actual map in the remote view.
There was a similar issue with roboports where you couldn't see their range when placing ghosts, but that was changed in the meantime in a patch.

Thanks, but this doesn't apply when it's night and radars are powered by solar panels, unfortunately. In this case, areas go dark for up to ~2 minutes on Gleba.

Second, you don't see radar coverage when placing ghosts in remote view in any case.

TL;DR
Display coverage (from radars, roboports...) in remote view as a layer overview, as well as sources' locations (radars, roboports...) as icons in the remote view map. Something very similar to logistic network and how we're able to see coverage and locations of roboports.

What?
It would ...

Thank you, I'll try it out

Dear Factorio,

It would be great if I could have an option to disable transport belt animation, because I get a bit dizzy, especially with the Turbo Transport Belts. They're really animating fast. I don't know if I'm getting older, but I'm getting dizzy by looking at all those belts moving that ...

Just wanted to say that I had the same thing. A red dot from time to time

Hey guys,

in this setup, why is it reported that power is not satisfied as if the radar is using 20 kW more?
Thanks

Hi,

are these tree trunks where dead biter nests should be?
Is this expected?
Looks weird.
Thanks

Alternatively, make items not spoiling while held by inserter. That is, the moment an item is picked up, stop spoiling it until it being released.

Hi,

It would be great to be able to sort or re-order the list of space platform names in the remote view in top-left.
Maybe by dragging and dropping up and down the list.
Same functionality is already available for pinned items in top right below the minimap.

This list should also be respected in ...

Hi,

I like the hover feature. It certainly saves time running around the factory unobstructed.
I wish it would be possible to turn off the hovering capability, however, similarly to how we're able to turn off exoskeleton.

It's useful in some cases like wall penetration testing. I like to ...

Hi,

just recently got my mech armor and I immediately noticed I wasn't able to pick up items from the ground or transport belts (using F key) while hovering (hovering is cool, btw, but I wish it would be possible to turn off the hovering capability, similarly to how we're able to turn off ...

Thanks for implementing turret radius recently, that's really useful.

Is it possible to show only radiuses of specific turret types only, please?

For example, when on the space platform, I'm building three different types of turrets and each turret type should be designated to blast different ...

Thanks, that would explain it
