If only that were true.....

Jobeo thanks for the pic. I've been meaning to move to solar panels for my power and kill my dependence on coal. How did you handle things prior to constructor bots? Just manually do the build? Yes, before bots I build in long rows... Since it is easiest to run and place the items at the same time....

I don't understand the need for the mathematical analysis. You should just work on large scales for everything. Use the construction bot blueprint planner to come up with an ideal solar panel design around a substation. Do the same for accumulators. Then put that blueprint down over and over... When...

When mousing over a potential item to craft it will flash/highlight your inventory if you already have such an item. If you click to craft that item, the contents of your inventory could change as items are consumed in the process. However, the highlight does refresh itself when this occurs and it c...

i like the new stack sizes but the train car capacity should have been modified to match the old setup

Ya combat shotgun is definitely messed up... I was just coming on here to report it... not good as it is my biter whacking weapon ...........

Killing the spawners is much harder now... seems to take many more shots.

i'm using armor piercing ammo

Set the assembler to something that uses lubricant and connection arrows will appear.

Hook pipes to the intake arrow.

Build walls around the turrets and they won't be so easy to wipeout.

You realize that exoskeletons can be stacked, right?

Get yourself Power Armor 2 and about 7 exoskeleton units ...

Ok so when is it going to be installed?

At one of my outposts I put down some blueprints. I put a bunch of walls in a provider chest for the bots and expected then to go to work. It was very confusing when nothing seemed to happen. I literally did that three more times, putting more and more walls in the chest until I realized the bots we...

Just as blue inserter can be placed overtop yellow inserter, replacing it in that position.

You should be able to place a medium light pole overtop a small one and have the small returned to your inventory.

Hello, love the game. Here is my suggestion.

On the toolbar, if I have run out of an item in one of my saved locations it will be grayed out. If I click on it, it should craft the item.

I think this would be very useful.

From the main page::

Factorio is currently in late alpha. We have gone far since our Indiegogo campaign in February 2013. So far 23549 people have bought the game. On 1st of June 2014 the price will go up from 10€ to 15€ (about 20$).

I think this idea solves another problem I was thinking about.

I want the bots to get rid of junk that regularly gets into my inventory. I.e., raw ores, solid fuel, wood, etc, etc.

Being able to specify all this junk in a remote requestor chest would be wonderful.

Agree it serves no purpose other than to be a very minor nuisance

Ya I bumped it down to once every 8 minutes and now it seems like much less of an issue

Well I think this would be a very important thing to parallelize. I am thinking of turning down the frequency of autosaves to compensate in the meantime.

I would definitely use it. I think it's standard for most forums to support it.

I was thinking it would be interesting to have a numeric display of current pollution emissions. So you could see how it goes up or down based on changes you make.
