I also consider this a bug, as it also happens in other situations, where it is really inconsistent:
I was using pipette to set signals inside a decider combinator (taking input from a roboport, reading what is in the network). From the list of the input signals I pipette a signal and put it into a ...

TL;DR
unlock fps


What ?
Enable a smooth experience with non-60Hz monitors by allowing more than 60fps (requires at least some decoupling of framerate from logic update ticks)
I alredy suggested this a while ago, now with upcoming graphics engine changes I thought it would be a good time for ...

I would very much like RGB-value lamps, but it must be done right for a proper display. Lamps should cover most of their tile and be the exact color as imputted (including pitch black if inputted), no visible grey lamp, preferably no 80%ish match like trains and train stops, maybe a completely ...

for the original idea to put random combinators in, it is very easy to have something pseuderandom without desync, map generation is pseudorandom after all. But im not sure if it is necessary as it is technically already in the game (you can build whatever algorithm the game uses for pseudorandom ...

Oh great it isn't even moddable (scroll wheel not usable in mods)

TL;DR
Allow users to set their preferred maximum/minimum zoom levels and the level at which the map view switches.


How ?
This could either be in the options or in the ini file (if its easier that way) so users can customize it however they prefer without commands that disable achievements.
If ...

Now with 0.15 this is very much needed:

I just started a second map and had some blueprints from the first one. They involved lots of combinators. The blueprints were totally useless because i was not able to get the actual combinator settings copied without robots.

found one:

Be sure to watch highest quality as otherise you see nothing (too much going on, high compression artifacts). You may also need to play slow motion to see everything that happens
What you can see in the Video: pay close attention to a player ...

If you blueprint something with rails in it, it is only possible to place it every 2 tiles.
I would like this force alignment feature with a user configurable alignment e.g. alignment to a chunk (=placing only possible every 32 tiles).

This would make building aligned structures in 0.15 with ...

Moddable shaders would be great, imagine all the possibilities! Monster poison that affects your vision, different vision enhancers, ...

But motion blur? I personally hate blurs of all kinds (and I'm not alone with this). Instead I would love to see a framerate unlock to be able to use the blur ...

How about making it a configurable option?
Everyone could adjust significant digits as they like.

Mr Green
Finish the game with a maximum total Pollution of X and a maximum of Y killed trees and not provoking any attack by pollution.

Explorer
Uncover more than X chunks on a single map.

Well calculated
Have an assembler running for 1h nonstop.

Slave army
Have 200 construction robots working ...

Maybe merge them all to one entity or optimize n*n squares to one entity.
Or just create a sub-subnetworks.

How about pollution-dependent efficiency, would make sense logicically:
The more pollution in the chunk the panel is standing in, the less efficient it gets.
(In real life rain washes solar panels but everything in the atmosphere lowers light levels hitting the panel)

great idea

Today I found out about this mod and could not believe that it actually worked:

Does this mean in normal worlds the map transfer consists of 50% useless information?
If this is true, what else could be done to reduce map size drastically?
It seems ...

It would be very nice to have an option for frequency, size and richness of forests, where richness is tree density.
It would also be nice to directly insert a number for frequency, size and richness of every resource, like in the customized world options of minecraft.
Achievements could be disabled ...

I would also like to have this.
For the newbie confusion problem i would suggest adding an option "show unresearched recipes" to the assembler/chemical plant gui that is off per default.
And realism - this game is not realistic: I can carry 100 trains in my pocket - no problem.

Inserters are sometimes not quick enough (although they have enough bandwidth) to put items into an assembler with lots of speed modules. The resource buffer size should depend on current crafting speed.

Loading time: Factorio is the only game <1GB that is on my SSD. Lots of small files are slow to ...

I'm unable to take auto-trashed stuff out of the trash-slots into the hand. Auto-trash should not apply to things in your hand.

Robots are annoyingly stupid, improvements could be e.g. not trying to repair stuff that currently goes faster than the robots; factoring charging points into the flight ...
