Optional (?) setting for a confirmation dialog: "This action will drop items to the ground, are you sure you want to do this?" Possible actions: - Taking off or replacing worn armor and items depended on the extended inventory rows. - Cancelling a hand-craft where materials don't fit inven...

This is still a well desired feature for Factorio. It's a standard in many other games that have player inventory, including Satisfactory, Minecraft and Terraria from the similar games. Retrieving corpse and dealing with the logistics is quite a hassle. It is also strange that the body entirely disa...

I see i see - AI music.

Why are we even talking about loaders? What items are in the input slot and what % they have have nothing to do with consumption graph. Each lab needs an internal variable for each science type that is increased by per-tick progress normally + productivity. When that internal variable reaches 100% =...

Thanks for the report. I know what causes this but I don't have any fix for it. The actual amount of science packs being consumed is correct, just not all of them being consumed are being reported as consumed. Example: * Lab consumes 90% of the durability of 1 science pack * Loader transfers 90% of...

This is an issue when you are loading a game and have several folders. When you doubleclick a folder to try open it or go back to parent, nothing happens. The folder name is just flashing with the click but that's it, only when you realize you need to doubleclick it super fast it goes. The reflexes ...

It has been known for a long time that moving items from 1 train to another is not possible with regular inserters because rails leave a 2 tiles wide gap between them. Long inserters can do the job slowly, but you need 6 or 12 of them and that would not be good for UPS for megabases where such bulk ...

Don't worry you can just ALT + Left click practically anything Sooo... default keybinding for changing Alt mode from left alt to right alt when? :P I have already done that long time ago (And i feel very sorry for new players who don't!), it's annoying if Alt+Tab turns off Alt mode. Probably more s...

Dark magic or not, how would you reasonably draw 5 barrels on top of each other? Items like these have been "conveniently" left out this dev diary.

Psh, simplest thing in the world:

i love those new inserters, however stack inserter does not stack item? instead bulk inserter stack item?? may i suggest the following: 1. we remove stack inserters, like we kill filter inserters 2. rename bulk inserter to stack inserter 3. give stack bonus to all inserters up to +5 (down from +11)...

Now look what you've done... Hype was already touching the roof, now you broke the roof!

Oh also since it's locked behind planets, will the 2.0 non-Space Age be getting the bulk inserters and new belt tier? I'm somewhat guessing it's Space Age only.

Nice QoL things. I wonder what the current stance is on rail signal planner. Currently it shows wagon preview behind the signal, but when you want to measure distance from a signal ahead and train length backwards there are no helpful guidelines. I will have to place signal for try, measure, remove ...

If this is what it looks like then thank you very muchly

And what is that supposed to mean? You didn't supply a location or any entity with location except 'player' here. Is player used for location or for deciding who the text is printed to here? The base entity prototype contains both position and surface it exists on, i'm pretty sure player inherits f...

pingmap() broadcasts the message to all players. That's a decision you made. Not all users of a hypothetical pingmap() want that behavior. There is no such command in current game, i posted few proposals for the function name that i could be. It doesn't have to be any of them. Are you suggesting ev...

It's meant to be usable even by players with no coding experience. Modders are expected to have higher technical abilities. And i just demonstrated why the command is not very accessible to people without coding experience. You would need a reference either way, both are equally memorable. And look...

The complexity of it is still quite something not everyone is comfortable with, and even less memorizing it. You'll almost certainly have to look for reference if you want to do it, and once you do it is still some work to adapt it to what you want to do. Aliases are important to both programmers an...

This is a "hello, world" program with string concatenation. It is literally the very first thing you learn how to do as your first step, starting from no coding experience at all. It is THE MOST trivial thing to do! %%% wrong with your aggression? It takes an IT professional to find that ...

It would be helpful for players and modders to ping a map location by script when debugging issues, or showing "relevant event locations". The alternative as it is, is to print out coordinates but you don't know where that is. Game does not show numbers on player or cursor. It was this red...

This would help a lot of people.
