I have same problem. I finished this goal by hand crafting and then got obliterated by biters. Because my base wasn't prepared for such swarm.

Re: Friday Facts #191 - Gui improvements

I am supporting this changes, especially building ghosts from toolbar. It's very frustrating when bots take you last item, and you can't continue planing you factory.

Re: Train Full Cargo - Mixed loading

I usually add another condition, that train will leave after 2 minutes of waiting. This isn't best solution but at least train is not deadlocked.

Re: Train is too vulnerable versus green alien(Big problem!)

I agree this is very frustrating problem. On my map I was replacing destroyed loco every 10-30 minutes. Worst thing is that train with destroyed loco is not visible in train list, so if you miss the alert, you must first find out that some train is missing and then find where the rest of the train i...

If you are able to reproduce deadlock on your crossing, please provide the savegame. Preferably before the deadlock around the start of your video. It will help developers to track down the issue.

You can switch between two possible placement by R key (rotation).

Re: Friday Facts #133 - The train struggle

When you are improving the production statistics, it will be also nice to add battery charge graph (percentage) to power network statistics. Because now only way, how to check if your battery amount is sufficient, is to wait to daybreak.

Re: Friday Facts #128 - Back down to earth

I like hopper/feeder idea. It will works like loader but it would have own storage, which needs to be filled/emptied with inserter. This way you can use inserter stack bonus for belts and you still needs some designing to saturate belt.

Re: [0.12.24 steam] Changing mods and the game closes, but it doesn't start again sometimes.

I also noticed that cloud synchronization, after existing factorio, takes a while. I was unable to run another game and when i tried exit Steam, cloud synchronization dialog popup and it takes minute or two to complete. And I think it is not connected with mod change, I was only exiting factorio fro...

Re: Friday Facts #123 - Better circuit network (Part 2)

I wonder, if smart inserter can be replaced by combination of Circuit Network Connector Writer and normal inserter. Because this way we could get long handed smart inserter without adding new entity.

Btw:

Re: Friday Facts #116 - Strategy Guide

Developers, are not lazy. This is alpha version, that mean it isn't feature complete and anything is subject to change. So making guide and tutorial is wasting of time. Beta stage is time for guide, because game is feature complete.

Re: My transport belt construction.

Well it is compact, that's nice. Is one assembler for yellow belts enough for red belts, yellow splitters and yellow underground belts being produced at maximum speed? No, red belts have same crafting time as yellow belts, so one assembly machine is not enough. But main bottleneck of this setup are...

Re: Let all bots use the personal roboport to charge.

This is definitely not quality-of-life improvement. You maybe didn't notice, but personal roboport has quite slow recharge rate. It can't handle 10 robots continuously working, after a while recharging take much longer. And you didn't notice, because you are not using robots all the time. But with t...

Auto-placing signals after specified distance would be also nice. Especially on double rail track.

[0.12.8] [kovarex] Power Armors swap durability on Ctrl + Click.

If you have two power armors with different durability and ctrl+click them to your equipment slot and back, they are swapping durability.

You can use this save https://forums.factorio.com/forum/dow ... hp?id=5476 for testing. Just ctrl+click equipped armor to inventory.

You are not feeding sulfuric acid production with sulfur, you must add some inserts to do that.
