Hmmm......
Imagines reservoirs of Oil that have leaked up to the surface, rivers of Lava winding through the terrain, and churning pools of Acid nearby.

Quick question; why aren't the inserters going from the center wagons to the side wagons fast inserters instead of long inserters?

Now that burning trees to the ground is a thing, will you ever add a simple tree planting / regrowth system? I know theres a few mods that do this, but we have so many ways to destroy trees in vanilla, I think it would be understandable to have a way to replace them too. Also: https://www.youtube.co...

Pretty much what it says in the title. For any question asked on the forums repeatedly, about something in the game, create a Tips & Tricks screen for it.

Also need a way to view said screens at any time when playing the game. Not just before starting a new world/loading a world.

An idea that is both simple and complex.

Also, how often do trains calculate their path? Or do they only do that when leaving a station?

Ssilk, OP here is talking about when biters die. The mod you linked is for when the player dies.

0.12 is already up and running, but I feel this is warranted.

For the savvy, yes this is "Safe For Work"

The short reply would be... too much scripting. There should be another mod just for inserters that adds the abillity to costimise inserters already, I don't want to copy. He's not talking about customizing the inserters. He's talking about their crafting chain. The basics of which are that any of ...

How efficient would energy transmission by laser be compared to transmission by magnetic field?

The suggestion was for modular train cars like modular armor. One train car that can have modules added into it to change its function. That's what I was referring too.

Or even better give train wagons something similar to the modular armour so you are able to modify the wagons to become: - Roboport wagons - Defensive wagons with gun or laserturrets - Radar wagons scouting around the train - Acumulator wagons powering the other wagons on the train - Provider/reque...

I like fsjd's ideas for the underground pipes. Halving the distance also provides a good explanation, why underground belts aren't fit for cliffs. Why not just have it cost one underground belt to go through a cliff? Lower end would appear to stick out of the cliff at the lower ground level, while ...

Go play this for a little bit. Trust me, if you like Factorio, you're gonna love this. Reactor Incremental --Press the "Scrounge for cash" button 10 times. You now have $10. --Click on the Single Uranium Cell that just lit up. Click on any square in the reactor's grid to build one. --Watch...

YES! H*** YES!!! Would play the crap out of that!

Currently, there is no system to say "Take this item, produce this much power". Burning is hardcoded to produce fuel from ANYTHING with a fuel value. There is also currently no way to use fluids as fuel. Any mods that currently do something like this use scripting, something I've been try...

Perhaps it's meant, that you can read/write only to your mods-directory, due to security reasons? Despite from that limitation, file-io is of course possible. See for example the screenshot-function.

Whats 'file io'?

Inserters yes. Belts, I'm not so sure about.

Having a list of every item in the game and being able to give yourself as many of any of them as you want already exists as a mod. "Test Mode" has been around for a while. Thought I might mention it.
