There's already a feature in the game that saves a lot of time by queuing actions: it's robots + blueprints, so I'm not sure why you keep saying there's no need to queue actions where a lot of players actually enjoy that feature already and it is considered a core part of the game. I just want a li...

The reason queuing orders in RTS is so popular it's because it saves so many clicks and time. Yeah, because in a traditional RTS you have many tasks to do in different places in a short amount of time. In Factorio there's no unlocked camera that can jump around, so there's no need for queuing actio...

This suggestion is terrible and unwarranted. There already is a significant penalty to long-distance bot usage. If I still want to use them for long-distance transport then let me. You have your play style and I have mine. All this would do is reduce the number of strategies and force others to play...

With 0.15 you can choose the train stop from map. When was this confirmed? It was listed as a potential feature under consideration. Other improvements There are other things we are considering. Just to be sure, this doesn't mean a promise or a plan, just an idea, that might or might be not impleme...

Concrete is much more common in Factorio compared to landfill. Yet noone did complain about its stack size. People are used to have several supply trains filled with concrete and bring them around to construction sites. I think that given landfill resource cost 100 per stack is pretty much. If you ...

You can just make a blueprint of a single mine and a wall and it will be nice and evenly spaced.

Nope. This is a bad suggestion. First of all Factorio isn't an RTS game like other RTS games. The reason you have shift-queuing in other RTS games is because you have many different units and this allows you to multi-task. In Factorio you only have one unit that the camera is always centered on. The...

It's one of the mysteries of Factorio.

Are you talking about just the shadows or all of the other things he suggested as well?

This suggestion has nothing to do with the title of that topic. /smh

Thanks for your reply, based Rseding91. I can see the appeal of being able to mow down hordes of biters standing on the tracks without getting stuck. But I'm hoping you may still consider making it slightly more realistic and applying a very small force to the train on each impact and maybe buffing ...

When a train busts through a gate at high speed it seems like it's not even affected by it. There isn't even a sound. I busted through 10 successive gates without any noticeable slowdown. This makes it impossible to build 100% safe railroad crossings. The train's speed should be affected by every ga...

A player (przem484) on my server is desyncing every time I send a certain train to a certain train stop (in a specific way?). This is the train & train stop in question (the dark green train in center left): Screen Shot 2017-01-26 at 20.17.28.png We didn't narrow down the issue beyond that due t...

Ok. Thanks for the explanation.

I was experimenting with a circuit-network-based lane 'splitter' (as an alternative to the popular underground belt method) and got some mildly pleasing results. It's based on the principle that lanes that are further back when side-loading get higher priority. The only major problem is that it requ...

It's just a visual bug. You can still fit two cargo wagons in that space.

It seems to happen when signals are placed next to curved rail pieces.

Something to help with clicking on and reading things on the production window.

Is there a reason for that? Because it doesn't make sense for anything except burner machines that get their energy from pollution-producing fuel.

Speaking of efficiency modules, they shouldn't directly reduce pollution. Just because a mining drill is able to do the same amount of work with less energy doesn't mean it should pollute less. It's still doing the same amount of work. Or at the very least the pollution reduction should be displayed...

Are you saying this shouldn't be in vanilla because there's already a mod for it? Because if so, I disagree. I also don't want to be lumped together with all of those other suggestions in that thread you linked. First of all my idea isn't necessarily about planning. You say: "you cannot place e...

If you're moving (on foot or in a vehicle) and try to place a single robot, it will place 3-5 robots. The longer you hold down the mouse button, the more bots are placed. I cannot manage to press the mouse button briefly enough to place only one robot. This is just a minor annoyance when I end up wi...
