Are you personally acquainted with some new players who are having this problem?

It might help with interest in your suggestion if you describe some specific cases.

If you set up multiple radars together, they won't scan the same chunks as each other; they'll divide the work.

Calm down, nobody's forcing you to use any mod you don't want to use.

There's a mod for that:

The shield should behave the same whether its in armor or a tank, Roboports, exoskeletons, solar panels etc. All do.

If the default behavior in player armor is to inherit resistances, then they should inherit in the tank. This is a bug.


If it's inconsistent, then sure, it's a bug, but then I ...

I'm baffled at why anyone would think this is a bug.

Shields are a different *kind* of thing from armor.

It makes sense that they wouldn't have the same resistances as armor, and potentially that they wouldn't have any resistances at all.

I haven't been to Aquilo yet. Don't you need Foundation so your hot buildings don't melt through the ice?


https://wiki.factorio.com/Foundation


Foundation is an advanced version of landfill that is the only way to fill lava lakes on Vulcanus or oil oceans on Fulgora. Despite being unlocked on ...

Yeah, foundation is not a thing you need on Aquilo.

So really what this guy is asking for is to have foundation removed from the game.

It's not really unreachable, though, is it?


Once you have mech armor, you can fly up to it.
Once you get cliff explosives on Vulcanus, you can destroy these cliffs.
If you have good armor and good construction bot range now, you can harvest the vault without having to get up there.
And ...

Counterpoint: For those of us who do already know how to use pins, this new button takes up space where I'd prefer to see more of the screen instead.

I'd be more amenable to it if it only showed up until I added my first pin, and then disappeared forever.

Of course, if someone only uses this ...

100% guarantee...

As soon as they add this in the base game, there are going to be a hundred posts all saying:

"This assembly machine ate my legendary XYZ piece! How could you awful devs let this happen!?"

It is kind of funny that the one thing you can't get from space rocks is...rocks.

I think compared to every other assembler type building it would be weird for one of them, especially something with as little philosophical sophistication as something that crushes trash, to keep stock and only output in groups of items. No other machine does this and you would least except the ...

The recycler only has 12 internal slots.

This change would require it to have quite a lot of internal slots.

Just to hold the various scrap/quality output would take 60 slots.

If you're also feeding non-scrap items back into the recyclers to break them down further, now you're talking about...no ...

You can do this yourself with a chest, combinator, and stack inserter per recycler. As I recall it's something like this:


Have each recycler output into a steel chest.
With an arithmetic combinator, do an each operation on the chest contents, taking items with count ≥ 16.
Set a stack inserter ...

And accidentally losing your rare iron gears to the common engine factory sounds like its own kind of error prone.


To me this sounds a lot worse than just having a bunch of low-quality items floating around.

Imagine e.g. a legendary gear getting wasted on creating a common engine because you ...

Change is that science packs are no longer tools so labs will consume science pack in 1 tick and then do reserach from internally tracked remaining durability. Previously the science packs would be partially used up by a lab on the top of the chain during that 1 tick but the item would stay in the ...

That was all edited in after I posted, which is why I asked the question instead of just reading that.

I don't doubt your word.

OK, but when and why was it changed?
