I have been thinking of this recently and with Star Wars Empire Strikes Back as the starting point I kinda came up with a nice solution:

- Use a similar platform lifted by balloons that functions exactly as the Glass Dome in the mod Maraxsis... so, no proper foundation tiles, but a base will be ...

Dear Devs, it would be really NICE if you guys made available all unused assets (or at least some or most?) inside the factorio folders (or released as an asset mod?), so all modders with less artistic capabilities can make use of it in graphic poor mods.

Thank you very much

So, it just occurred to me that if you zoom out the image with the lamps array, it kinda looks like a monster... probably a stealthy preview of new monsters?

The one I liked the most is Vulcanus.

The sample for unknown planets are also to my liking.

The one I didn't like at all is Fulgora... to the point that I will probably turn the music off when I'm at that planet.

And this gave me the idea:

Why you devs don't add individual music control for each ...

a Tower Defense like planet could be interesting, and the resources could also be limited to loot from the enemy hordes.

my guess and hope is that there is 2 kinds of cliff explosives:

- weak version for the soft rock-based cliffs present on Nauvis
- strong version for the hard rock-based cliffs present on Vulcanus

this way, getting rid of cliffs on Nauvis isn't postponed too much.


I guess with the Thermal Vents ...

I think it would be better to include the "stack size" directly on to the Arithmetic Combinator, so you can read a signal input and multiply it by its stack size directly, without the need for one additional entity.

I always thought that the Defender, Distractor and Destroyer robots should work this way instead of self-destruction after a time.

It would be much more interesting to house in a roboport all kinds of robots for different purposes, not just construction and logistic bots.

IMO this is the mod that most urgently needs to be added to the base game (except for fluid wagons and universal barrelling which are reportedly on track for 0.15 already). Without this mod, coal very suddenly morphs from an essential factory input into nearly useless trash when solar panels and ...
