TL;DR Showing the max range always helps players aim at it directly instead of scrolling along the range. (For Factorio v2.0) What ? Always show underground max range visualization, while building the underground thing. Having the underground visualization change color depending on whether it is ma...

The tile limit will be increased drastically for Space Age.

TL;DR Make the research queue drag able in order to change the order/priority of the technologies. What ? The research queue should support drag and drop to simplify prioritizing a new technology without re-queuing the existing technologies in the research queue. It is not necessary to drag new ele...

From what I have read so far, there are now two related issues in here. 1) Update the game (non-steam-version) 2) Update mods As for the base game updates: Instead of adding a special close button, I would rather have an option/button in the update notification itself "apply on next restart&quo...

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 Factor...

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 ...

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...

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...
