I love the FFFs in general, but amongst the various FFF subjects, my favourite is optimisation. I love to see how thinking things differently can lead to overall improvements, and also the failed attempts, where a seemingly obvious amelioration leads to worse performance because the bottleneck was n...

Rail bridges, rework of the fluid mechanics, new tier of quicker belts out the top of my head, I'm pretty sure there are others.

Searching into the API docs, I see that : richness_expression :: NoiseExpression optional (https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/types/AutoplaceSpecification.html#richness_expression) And the link to noise expression says https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/types/NoiseExpression.html I don't see anywh...

Will we get other uses for plasma? I think it'd be awesome to also use plasma for weapons or thrusters! I imagine they'd use the same mechanic of the plasma for power, where the plasma weapons and plasma thrusters need to connect directly to the reactor (or other building with a plasma pass through...

Separate time handling between a lab surface and regular game surface(s) won't happen according to https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?p=554774 Because of that, I'm not using the Editor Extensions mod but just the sandbox scenario with a different save and switch between them. It's not nice a...

I've been looking for a such mod that checked a number of boxes. I need the time to stop while I'm designing blueprints : I sometimes spend hours designing stuff, and I don't want to get out of the blueprint lab just to discover the evolution factor went from 18 to 53% while I was creating the perfe...

Please don't vote no just because someone wants to have fun in a different way with an accessibility feature. I'm convinced that blueprint sharing comes with advantages and disadvantages. I like the "local, small scale" sharing, like if my friend and I play together, comparing our builds ...

That's the issue with people suggesting ameliorations for things they haven't even tried : The devs have played continuously what they were designing along the development process, selecting what felt best for the game. And while we can get a few glimpses of this in the FFFs, this backoffice process...

You'll need : - As fast in single thread as you can get for CPU - Core number will most probably never be an issue, the diminishing returns on additional cores arrive pretty quickly with Factorio - Bigger CPU cache will most probably be better - As quick RAM as you can, and at a given speed, the low...

The fusion is such a big step up I kinda regret the reactor in action isn't a bit more spectacular. Would be even more unrealistic, of course, but realism is not the main driver for me playing Factorio .
Also mostly older people will remember this :

why are people voting no?

I guess because they don't agree with your proposal ?

What if for the lights, we could also connect them to combinators and instead of setting the color we can use the R, G, and B signals to directly control the RGB settings of the lights so that we can use circuit to do some wickedly cool screens our of the lamps! Something very similar was suggested...

I'm saying that the game cannot use all cores 100%.

I don't know any game that does (but yet again, I don't know all existing games on earth).
