Re: Empty Module Slots and Upgrade Planner - Let's Talk
Since Bp mirroring is vanilla now, there is little reason not having module insertion or removal for the upgrade planner.
Not a new suggestion, but I’m liking OPs mockup.

Re: Does anyone have an archive of the versions 0.2-0.6?
At least version 0.1 is publicly available, but chances are you already know that.

Re: Version 1.1.1
Thank you very much!Added an interface option (off by default) to change quick bar slot filters by clicking them with different items.
With that as an option a player can use the new feature to build up his quickbar and once completed conserve it from accidental cluttering.

Re: Version 1.1.0
Aside the already presented changes in the FFF, spidertron waypoints and squad, flip and turn for blueprints made Vanilla, more multithreading. This is great! Though the new selection feature defeats the purpose of the quickbar. It might fit some play style but definitely not mine, this should be to...

Re: Friday Facts #363 - 1.1 is getting close
Lots of interesting changes. My thoughts: (...) 7. I haven't seen it mentioned in any recent FFFs, so I thought I would add: Please add the ability to copy module emplacements just like copy/pasting recipes on assemblers, miners, etc. I feel that this has been overlooked and would add much Quality ...

Re: Alt-F4 #13 - Megabase Archaeology
Impressed work. What a monumental task building such a beast. But also porting it to 1.0. I remember quitting a pre 0.15. steam powered base after the changes made to the boilers. I would also voice my support including the circuit build in the main menu simulation. Maybe there should even be some s...

Re: Friday Facts #363 - 1.1 is getting close
All in all good changes. Especially the alert arrows and the graphical tweaks for those shiny blue nights. I’m not entirely sold on the removal of the characters tab though. The redundancy would be much less relevant if all armour modules were togglable and not only exoskeletons and roboports. This ...

Re: bigger chest 2xN size (for railway blueprints) or long-handed stacker inserter.
Trains/tanks in train stations have never been a necessity. It' perfectly doable to unload a train into 1 tile chests with stack inserters. Your use case is extremely specific, and the issues you face are the consequence of a design decision. A such, I think you should address your need with mods, ...

Re: Nuclear Thermal Furnaces
Though being an interesting idea in principle. Heat piping as all fluid dynamics is UPS intensive. Eliminating wide spread use in the late game.
Also mods (e.g. from darkfrei)

Re: Improving Factorio's Mining Endgame: A Programmable Bucket Chain Excavator
I'dont think a fixed length chain/wheel extractor is necessary. IMO the core concept of this idea (having a more complex rather repetetice late game mining solution) would be better served, if the extraction arm is dynamically lengthend or shortend depending on ore patch size. Any BWE/BCE on a trai...

Re: Improving Factorio's Mining Endgame: A Programmable Bucket Chain Excavator
A point of critique, besides the practicability of the general implementation, though automating mining, the outpost defences will still have to be built the current way (if needed). Secondly if the BCE/BWE can be balanced such, that mining yield and throughput to traines can be similar to late gam...

Re: Improving Factorio's Mining Endgame: A Programmable Bucket Chain Excavator
I like this idea. Outposting is, like setting up more smelting areas repetitive especially in the end game. The latter being more easily semi automatable. The whole idea reminds me, though differently implemented, of the Mining Drones mod by Klonan . Breaking monotony and gaining UPS are certainly b...

Re: 1.35k S/M bases should be more popular

After that I research follower counts as dummy research b...

Re: Alt-F4 #11 - Scientific Curiosities
I would also like to thank you for youre effort, Alt-F4 are making for a quite interesting read.
In addition to ssilk, alternatively you could release on saturdays instead if FFFs are due.

Re: Option to build ghost automatically if out of reach.
Yes, very practical suggestion!
This could be handled like the opt-in feature of picking ghosts if an entity is not available to not confuse new players. Either via a new option or expanding the already existing option of picking ghosts.
