Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

I'm really happy about all the love shown for circuit networks! Hopefully there will be also a way to place blueprints via the circuit network. I know there are Recursive Blueprints and Recursie Blueprints+ which already do great job and gave us things like Micro Factries or self expanding bases in ...

Re: Version 0.16.25

I'm really sad that compression was introduced again. In my opinion it goes against what Factorio stands for: figuring out best builds on your own. It's not that full compression is actually needed for playing the game or that you can't achieve it with some thought. It isn't even the case that creat...

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

Logistic bots already cost more than they add compared to belts. Any further nerf without a cost reduction would further make them cost a ridiculous amount for what they add. You could make 25k blue belts just from the research cost difference alone. Each bot costs 3.4 times as much as each additio...

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

That's funny, I might be wrong, but I get the feeling that most people who ask for a bot debuff actually mostly play without them (or with very little of them). So basically, it's a "bots should be nerfed because I don't use them, so it won't change my playstyle, while hindering the pleasure o...

Re: Friday Facts #225 - Bots versus belts (part 2)

The splitters are really awesome! Please make the filter changeable via circuit network, and they will solve a lot of problems I had in more complex belt set ups. Concerning the bots after reading the discussion from last week I came to the conclusion that there is a simple yet effective solution : ...

Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts

add cooldown for grabbing/dropping item (like landing / take off) and allowing only x bots accessing the building (chest) This! If you limit interaction to one bot per second, then bot networks need more space without removing any functionality. Instead of scaling up by creating more bots (which do...

Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts

Really love that you discuss this! I totally understand why you would want to nerf logistic bots, and I agree that the game is more fun when played with belts instead. I have for some time now thought about this, and maybe some of this might be helpful. First of all, when are logistic bots used (app...

Server player cam

Hi there! I'm looking for a way to automatically follow a different player for a multiplayer server and live streaming. Even better if the cam automagically chooses which player to focus on, but just something where I can click a button and the camera automatically follows a selected player would be...

Re: Blueprints and planning with new inventory GUI

The only thing I am unsure about is, whether there is a need for some way to enable and disable ghosts for construction robots.

Re: Blueprints and planning with new inventory GUI

Yeah, given that you would have to click each ghost individually and get close to the ghosts, this shouldn't make construction robots irrelevant :)

Blueprints and planning with new inventory GUI

Hi there, after yesterdays Friday Facts I looked through the forums for currently discussed ideas on blueprints, ghosts and planning and developed a proposal that creates a coherent usage of blueprints throughout the Factorio game stages. Idea in one sentence: Use blueprints and ghost placements to ...

Set recipes for assemblers

Hi there!

Not sure if this exists already, but I only found a broken mod:
It would be great to be ablte to set the recipe of an assembler via circuit network. If multiple signals are received, only the first one is used (similar to stack filter inserters).

Re: Varying recipy components

I guess you can't access any information from the map like item counts when loading the recipes, either? That would be a work around for "saving" the seed :-/ A workaround to test the idea would be to just create multiple mods with different seeds and players could choose which mod to use ...
