Thank you.

It's not. To expand on this a bit (it's also explained elsewhere). It's not [easy to parallelise on chunk boundaries] because the factory behaviour can't be affected by the chunk boundaries (ie, blueprint translational symmetry). Rseding (and the team) has spent quite a lot of time fixing bugs wher...

That's how Blender does it and it's a lot less pleasant to use than it first sounds. They are two mutually exclusive solutions that are used in two different use-cases. You can't compare them as it's apples and oranges. One allows you to see what your current binding is conflicting with. The other ...

Perhaps a search by keybinding might be a solution? That way the user can search either before they bind or after they find it's an issue. Especially if they have no idea that a function already is bound and can't find what that function is called in the settings menu.

What I meant was that your personal solution works for you, but you cannot argue, that it is a solution for everyone That's not what I'm trying to do. I simply stated that it's not a problem for me as I have a solution. I never intended to say that my solution is a solution for everyone, only that ...

I personally would do many things in Factorio differently. Hence I love the game. Seeing peoples solutions to problems is like seeing peoples creations in Minecraft or other sandbox games :D Ahhh. No. The human eye is not good in tracking two changes at once. Sorry, I don't understand your point.

Just to prove it, there are some threads about finding items in it God yes, I would agree with this whole-heartedly. Sometimes it's impossible to find the existing item request. But the problem already exists. Additionally, any solution that would solve the already present issue would also solve th...

This seems like a completely different request

Yeah, it is; with an existing mod that solves the problem. Hence I left it out of the original post. But after Ssilk's post I thought I would put forward another use case.

/bow to the gods!

The other use case is with spiders. At the moment I'm putting in many zero-zero requesting slots to keep their inventory clean. Eventually I create a base/template spider with ALL the items set to zero then I can copy that to any new spiders, editing in what they should be holding as separate reques...

Attached are 2 save files. The only difference is that one has 1000's of ghosts out side of a construction network. If you load up the two games and use /editor command to start the game running you will see the difference in the behaviour of the construction network. If the game wasn't iterating ov...

Yes, under the assumption that the number of times you reassign the type of item requested is less than the number of times you reassign the amount being requested. If it's the opposite way round an it turns out that no one ever changes the requested amounts, but instead continually uses a limited n...

Sorry, I didn't find that one in my searches.

The hotkey "E" doesn't close the toolbar selection window as the tooltip says it should. Escape works correctly though. E doesn't work.png Instead the player inventory/crafting window opens as it normally does when pressing E. Steps to reproduce 1) Load a new game. 2) Press either of the t...

TLDR; Allow the player to have multiple requests of the same item in their logistics requests, summing together all of the selected values for the logistics network. At the moment it's an error to select two of the same item types in the player logistics requests screen (center panel) Center panel.p...

TLDR; Show an icon on the map for construction commands that aren't covered by a construction network to help the user to figure out why thing's are working. At the moment the game iterates over all the construction & deconstruction orders on the map. If there are many orders not covered by a co...

When you select a train stop it should highlight all the trains that are currently heading to that specific stop. Selected train stop.png it could also be extended to the train management UI, highlighting all trains going to any of the selected stops. Why? Because in large bases you can easily see i...

TLDR; Allow locking min and max values for item request slots for easier changing of common item requests Lock Button.png When the toggle is pressed it locks the min and max sliders move together, so you don't have to drag each individually. Moving one always moves the other. Why? Because I find tha...

Hi, TRTRLT; Don't show items when changing already set item requests amounts (Not if it's a new, blank request slot). When changing the amount of items being requested of a currently selected item request slot, the popup screen contains the item selection screen. after click.png This moves the slide...

Hi, The Import Blueprint String dialogue box should have a paste button to mirror the Export Blueprint String dialogue box. No paste button.png But a copy button.png It would help is symmetry and prevent me from having to take my hand off the mouse to press ctrl+V (Dvorak keyboard, and not re-bindab...
