A quick thought: The centrifuge needs more uses. The best idea I had was to make a new endgame tier of materials using the centrifuge, basically processing ores like iron and copper to get niche metals you need for rocket parts. Would add more diversity to the endgame and make it less like "wai...

Okay, makes sense. I just don't want a useless ore that you can mine but doesn't do anything early on; just doesn't feel right. Maybe centrifuges that break down iron/copper ore to give you uranium? EDIT: Also, I'd prefer if you moved this from "outdated". I've clarified that this isn't ab...

This board is about suggestions to vanilla Factorio only.

Sorry. I only brought the mod up as an example. I meant it for vanilla.

Something that annoys me about nuclear mods is how you have an ore just sitting around until the endgame. Oil is fine cause you can't actually MINE IT until you can use it, but this is different. So I thought, if they're removing artifacts, why not hide oil-like uranium deposits under alien nests? T...

Currently, Light Oil has no use. However, I have a fix for that. Nuclear power plants are coming in 0.15, so I thought, why not think of a good mid-tier ingredient for them? Graphite is used in nuclear power plants and since I don't want to add lead to the game, this works the best for the main comp...

Amazing optimizations. This will allow people to make even more amazing combinator setups! I don't personally know, but I would guess the same as with turrets when going from 0.11 to 0.12 - both pumps will be there, the graphics will just look broken as they will be partially on top of each other.T...

Solid fuel. You take oil and you turn it into this incredibly unrealistic block of... some black substance instead of burning the oil directly. I propose that, as an alternative to solar, we introduce 3 oil-consuming "turbines", or generators, into the game. 1. The Steam Turbine Well, we a...

Thanks! Updated the mod with your translation!

I suggest two infinite tanks on either side of the accumulator: petroleum gas and lubricant. Along with new objectives this could be nice to have.

so I've made a table and it turns out that to make 1 plastic your way it requires: 68.28 of work + 2 stone + 1.2 gas + 25 wood. While vanila is: 0.5 of work + 0.5 of coal + 1.5 of gas. Considering that coal is virtually unlimited with your mod (if you're using tier 2 wood processing, which requires...

Can I make a suggestion? There should be two magic tanks next to the accumulator, one for petroleum gas and one for lubricant. That way, all oil products are available and half the game isn't unsused.

One thing that is very lacking in the modding API is the way people have to make power generation. Either make a solar panel, add a new fuel/way to heat up water, or use a crap ton of scripts to modify how a steam engine-type functions. What I request is a new kind of prototype for fuel arrays, and ...

Hey there! So, chances are you've seen my thread on lead as a nuclear reactor byproduct, and chances are you understand exactly why it doesn't work. So, let me rectify that in my ideas for a different type of nuclear materials. This started as a comment, but I think I've fleshed it out enough for it...

Yes guys, it's definitely not realistic, but one of the main ideas is having something beyond water for reactor coolant without having a secondary ore. The idea progressed from there.

But i open the "0.15 + 0.16 roadmap" thread and see that its called "nuclear power" not "nuclear industry", so sorry i have to think the most logic way that its power only, atleast for the nearest patch. Btw, have you any real world data what is percentage of lead that...

So by saying "lead will be subproduct of nuclear reaction" you are actually forcing player to use nuclear reactors as a lead producers, which is a very bad thing and should not happen. You will need the power plant to produce not power but some material, that is just not right. So by sayi...

That'd be really cool, but I don't think it's needed in any way besides looking cool. Sorry.

With the eventual nuclear power coming up in 0.14, I realize that currently there is no material that is viable to be a reactor coolant besides water, and water is boring. However, I'm already a bit sad that we have to have uranium ore that can't be used until what is most likely post-oil tier but s...
