And while you are at it with ghosting items two more tiny features: 1) pressing "q" on an item that is not in the inventory should still put it into the hand for ghost placement. 2) when you place the last item of something switch to ghost placement for the next. I was assuming these woul...

Not sure if the Factorio "spidertron idea" is still on the table as it was removed from the dev's future objectives list. Either way Enginarius, I like your idea but especially the ability to morph into a bunker (awesome in its own right) and power remote bases which I don't believe was su...

Factorio-Suggestion-PowerArmorControl.png Scenario Example: You arrive into your base and want to make some customizations to your factory. You use the hotkey/button on the power armor to power off the manual items in your suit: - turning off your personal robotport to force construction bots in yo...

Same applies on return: robots currently drop items on the player, move away a little to recharge, then move back to land. Really they should just land immediately, unloading items as they do so, and charging after landing. (This would also solve the "bug" that "mining" robots s...

Agreed, I wish this could be solved. When speeding down a track in a train or running too fast for personal robots to do this and they end up trailing behind forcing you to stop and let them grab their items so they can continue to whatever task with it. Really annoying. A robot and the item it woul...

Quick suggestion to make toolbar more logical. Presently I find the groupings compared to what the shortcuts relate to, to be contradictory... at least in my mind. Shortcuts 1-5, shift+1-5 are meant to be used as primary but the image doesnt suggest this with the big space separating the two. Yet th...

I've seen this requested many times recently by others so thought I'd have a go at conceptually problem solving this. Scenario: You have a lot of items to deconstruct but not enough room in your inventory for your personal robots to retrieve the items to. CTRL+Drag with Deconstruct Tool over items t...

a way to set/remember/store the recipe of a machine before it's unlocked. - in blueprints - in ghosts - in active machines I've often wondered about this too. Personally I think what is placeable should be limited by research to limit confusion... IMO. Ref to Klonans op. https://forums.factorio.com...

BLUEPRINT LIBRARY UI As others mentioned, this new interface certainly needs improvement. An option that at least a few others have suggested is make this as the Primary and Only way to interact with blueprints. This makes blueprints a lot more consistent suddenly as they never reside in your inven...

I've tried to read every comment and respond to as many items as possible with some of my own ideas First of all, great FFF and yes to all the changes (with tweaks). You mentioned many great points I unconsciously was annoyed by along with the rest. Most importantly mentioned in this update, I very ...

.... -perhaps on the map view, you could have something akin to a filter bar for the movement of items? So any robots carrying the item, storage containers with it, or belts/pipes would show up? This would simplify the big-picture view of larger factories' production. having the equivalent amount o...

I'm sure they have plans to do something soon as part of the graphics overhall. Its true though, I've noticed now playing .15 how really poor the model looks now compared to the high res models when standing next to them (as well as all the other lower res assets). The player model is something that...

If zoomed out in map with no radar coverage and not close by, basic train representation is visible, if you zoom in, the train disappears from the map view for 0-5x zoom levels.

Just like the new copy+drag for recipes in assembling machines, I think it would be a natural and obvious progression to allow fast connection of circuit wires by holding and dragging (perhaps via special key + drag?). Example. You have a number of adjacent inserters/chests, whatever.. - and need to...

Ahhh.! I didnt know this was in the new game, apologies-yes, tested and this is the case! Feel free to delete this thread.

Inserting Productivity modules into electric minors then removing everything makes all future minors automatically act like they have productivity modules in them when placed again though without productivity modules inside. For example I can place a number of speed or efficiency modules in the newl...

The shadows are the way they currently are because it's a limitation to the engine. It's more that the images were rendered using an inconsistent lightsource, not an issue with the engine. If they split the shadows out from the base sprites (and had them rendered using a consistent angle, again not...

Thanks, yes I had read it - just wanted to limit redundancy.. I never ventured outside the news / releases portions of the forums until months and months after getting into factorio - not into the Suggestions portion, certainly. Thus , although its recommended - a good idea or brainstorming reply th...

I would just like to say how useful I've found Pollution as it makes it much easier to see where trains / train stations are - specifically if/where jams have taken place with a very quick review. I'm not sure how the map will be implemented in 0.15 but wanted to state my preference in some solution...
