Removing information from stock UI?
It seems like all modding guides are focused on how to create new entities and recipes, which are probably the most popular categories of mod. Unlike most mods, I'm hoping to REMOVE something from a piece of the stock UI, namely the entity info box (the thing that pops up on the right whenever you m...

Spoiler-free title / menu screen
Although people who have been playing the game for years may have very little to learn from the title / menu screen, brand new players will be exposed to concepts which they might have preferred to discover on their own. For instance, the use of intermediary chests (and stack inserters) when loading...

Re: Friday Facts #305 - The Oil Changes
I wonder if I remembered to leave a negative review in the Steam store, now that the dust has settled and Wube has made clear their commitment to turning the game into a certified casual-friendly experience with a horizontal difficulty curve.

Re: Friday Facts #305 - The Oil Changes
Are we basically witnessing a cynical process in which the game attracts a certain kind of audience who happily pay for the experience offered and then the game is gradually made less complex (e.g. removing recipe input limits on low level assemblers) in order to accommodate a more casual audience a...

Re: Is this a bug? (Laser damage bonus)
Some of my confusion may be due to my accidentally finding my way to this "archived" wiki entry: https://wiki.factorio.com/Laser_turret_damage_(research) Which doesn't apply to 0.17 and has much smaller damage per shot values. I guess there isn't a current wiki page which lists the actual ...

Is this a bug? (Laser damage bonus)
I'm running the latest experimental build via Steam. I'd just launched my first satellite, used the space science packs to research the first laser damage upgrade which requires space science (upgrade 7), then later decided that I wanted to rely on gun turrets (with uranium ammo) so I loaded a save ...

[Rseding91] [0.17.47] Mouse buttons not performing mapped inventory action
Wanting to make frequently-performed tasks possible with just one hand instead of two, I tried mapping inventory actions like "Stack split" to various mouse buttons but these mappings are apparently not being honored in-game. As a concrete example (steps to reproduce): Clear any existing m...

Re: [0.17.0] Campaign: Biter attacks ramp up too quickly
I didn't realize that was the end of the campaign... I guess it's ok to have a bit of a difficulty spike at the end. I suppose telemetry will let you know if new players are having too hard of a time or not.

[0.17.0] Campaign: Biter attacks ramp up too quickly
I met the requirement for magazines produced per minute due to the amount of steel plates I had queued up on the belt, but production then dropped off once the backlog had been worked through and about 10 minutes later all turrets ran out of ammo in spite of my constantly reloading them as fast as a...

These changes range from "meh" to "WTF?".
Taking certain behaviors out of the engine entirely to the point where they can't be modded back in is beyond the pale.

Re: Is there a mod that lets you name signals?
I'm going to try using the Quill mod (in-game notepad) to see if that's enough to get by.
Though the fact that you can't move the notepad window, resize the notepad window, or apply any transparency to the notepad window is kind of a bummer.

Re: Is there a mod that lets you name signals?
Alarms are certainly handy and I do use them for conditions which require manual oversight (though it would be nice if you had the option to display more than one alert icon at a time), but I'm looking to be able to name signals so that I can bring some sanity to my automation. Thanks though.

Is there a mod that lets you name signals?
Per the subject. I'd like to be able to rename the circuit network signals. It's not even necessary for the signal name to be visble when mousing over a utility pole, the names only have to be visible when mousing over each signal icon in the signal selection dialog (which would also be where you wo...
