TL;DR When in Map view, highlight a power grid if hovered over with the mouse. Right now it can be hard to tell if 2 grids are the same or not. Same for Logistic Networks. What ? Highlighting power grids and logistic networks when hovered over with the mouse can help to better identify them. Logist...

I agree that the train system would need some few last tweeks and adjustments (station skipping, "go to" commands), but i'm overall satisfied with how it works now! Could be much worse ;) This game is indeed about automation but too much of that and you will defeat its whole purpose! Right...

That would be an awesome update, but unfortunately Factorio is not built in an isometric grid, it's "front view"! Fake elevations like Transport Tycoon seem quite impossible to implement now, and front-view cliffs are not good looking... AT ALL! (see images in the first post) But Isometric...

In the early game I've always found running around very boring and if you are unlucky with starting resources you need to run quite a lot or restart alltogether. Personally, I see 3 solutions to this problem: 1) Put some Iron, Copper and Coal in the starting area by default. Maybe use the same algor...

not sure if already implemented partially but the first thing i did when i made 2 trains for 1 stop, was fully setup one train and leave it in manual then copy paste like i would with assembler settings and it worked for me, in 0.13.2 Yea, that definitely works! :mrgreen: Shift+Right Click the loco...

To summerize: not very useful in my opinion. I think we are missing two major point here: pipes have a troughput limit and boilers don't chew up much coal in the first place. For example a pipe system with: (3 offshore pumps)->(28 boilers)->(21 steam engines) is "pretty close" to the pipe...

Puppet and Ghost Trains If you REALLY-REALLY want to deactivate a station, you could just put a "puppet train" (locomotive and no carts) at your station which leaves only when certain circuit conditions are met (chests full). Other trains will look for a station with the same name somewhe...
