I like it, does this mean you can now build a wall of rails to prevent a spidertron from going somewhere? Spideyboi can still step between the rails: Also when all those rails are curved? I don't know what kind of intersections you will be making but I think it will be okay https://forums.factorio....

Awesome changes to the Blueprint Library. The atomic bomb looks amazing now, but IMO the sound is a bit weak, maybe it needs more bass and some rolling thunder. I would like to see a few fires caused by the nuke to give it a bit more if a lasting impression/side-effects. That way a nuke could even c...

IMO the switch has too many electric arks going on. Its supposed to be a plug and not some effect emitter. It would be fine it it were a single electric snake coiling around it, but not this thunderstorm. You should watch a real power switch. https://youtu.be/PXiOQCRiSp0 During connect/disconnect I...

I use the power switches mostly in my nuclear power systems. I have dedicated power supply to my nuclear setup that ensures that I always have enough power to continue the operation of it (and defend it). The power setup is split in three layers. - Emergency Power [few kW] (Alerts and a pump connect...

The rest of the design is good as is.

Flushing a given liquid from the pipe seems maybe a little too easy, given the remainder of the factorio experience. I would expect something like a filter pump, which can, over time, drain the undesirable liquid from the pipe (and either destroy it, or send it into another pipe system. IMO the flu...

Summary: I would like to automate the tests for my mod using github actions and also locally. Therefor I need to be able to launch the game with my mods and validate that they are still working after my commit. ----------------------- Details I am a software developer myself and I feel unsafe if the...

I would really like this.
I usually check for updates before I shutdown factorio for the day, so it would be nice, if I could just select "update and exit" instead of "update and restart".

One of the things that Kovarex and I agree on, is that the burner phase of the game is currently the right length. Any shorter and you may as well remove it, and any longer it would become annoying. It's as near to zero length as makes no odds already. The "burner phase" in vanilla Factorio is smel...

Factorio 0.17.79 Windows 10 Steps to reproduce: Sync mods with "Creative" savegame (especially GhostInHand) Load the save game in multiplayer Join the game as player "Test" pick up the concrete tiles and place them, until you run out of them. If you place the last tile, then the server will always c...

Factorio 0.17.79 How to reproduce: 1) Load the given map without any mods. 2) The game (always) crashes to windows Additional information: If you load the map with the mods it won't crash the game, the mods can be downloaded from the mod portal. I used that map with multiple different mods at differ...

Tested with GDIW + Bobs

Thanks for these changes (tooltips and tiles). I have to wait for an update of Cargo ships before I can use it though. ------------------------ Belts, (heat) pipes, and rails would benefit from it A small part of my smeltery (I cannot zoom out any further) 20191104190456_1.jpg My module factory (wit...

Why do you keep hitting yourself in the head with this idea that any action by anything anywhere should be prevented if it leads to fluid mixing? It seems silly complicated and overly invasive compared to the alternative, which is to say pipes connect if they they are compatible, and does not conne...

TLDR: I dont like the oil change. Cracking without blue. Highlight the slots if they are full/blocking production. In the current game I mainly use basic oil processing to get heavy oil for my insane lube consumption (for belts). Most of the light oil is turned into solid fuel and then rocket fuel t...

Nice preview. This somehow reminds of the C&C3 Tiberium Sun campaign where you can find and defend a crash site as well. I really loved it. Since you improved the performance again, lets just try to add some more mods to the mix^^. As for the container number: * Did you (@factorio) google the number...

I really like these in depth details.

Can you update the prerequisite technologies for your mod? advanced-matrerial-processing-3 should depend on production-research tech. advanced-matrerial-processing-4 should depend on utility-research tech. That way it is ensured that you can only unlock them after the base research (bottles) have be...

I'm not sure whether this is the right place for it. But would it be possible to add an "Read this FFF on our blog" to the top of the Steam announcement? Because the steam page does not show the animated pictures/videos and it takes multiple clicks to view them, which severely disturbs the reading f...
