So, the player carries stacks of ammo magazines, and as you fire the top item in the stack (representing the loaded magazine) loses "durability" which represents the amount of ammo left in that magazine, with the exception of the rocket launcher (so it's also excluded from my suggestion).

Currently ...

Currently, upgrading your pistol to submachine gun or shotgun to combat shotgun literally only affects fire rate (plus a tiny range boost for submachine gun).

I suggest making weapon upgrades more significant by giving them unique behavior which makes the upgrade more desirable, important, and/or ...

Sorry for the pointless bump! I clicked "bump topic" cause I wanted to see what it would do... I figured it'd have a confirmation, or maybe have an auto-generated message or... idk, just wasn't expecting it to instantly go through.

This one should be pretty simple to implement:
About 90% of mod ideas that start with that, are actually either impossible, or really damn hard to do. If it really was that simple or easy, most ideas like this already would have a mod for it.

Try to avoid starting ideas with lines like that. ;P ...

Btw, while it certainly would be an improvement over the current situation i still think this is bad gui design. Factorio GUIs are closed by pressing esc/e, and not a usual "ok/apply" button like in e.g. windows. In most applications pressing esc would throw away any pending changes and restore ...

There should be a short one or two second delay between when you change the number for a logistics or auto trash slot and when that number is actually sent to the logistic network (or applied to your inventory, for auto trash slots). This would go a long way toward preventing people from ...

The modding API offers no way of intercepting that input. It's all done internally. I certainly wouldn't mind if that was the default behaviour. But short of reimplementing the whole GUI i see no way to mod that.


Ah damn, ok. I guess this needs to be put in ideas and suggestions instead, then ...

But now you can set to "request 1 item instead of stack" in the game options.


These are not the same topic. I already have that option enabled. That option does keep me from ...

This one should be pretty simple to implement: I'd like a mod where there is a short one or two second delay between when you change the number for a logistics or trash slot and when that number is actually sent to the logistic network.

For example: if you request some iron, drag the slider to 200 ...

So imagine you put a stack of 100 iron in your logistic request slot. This proposed mod will automatically add a (hidden, if possible) logistic trash rule for 100 iron, so if you pick up some extra iron, it'll automatically be taken away and you'll always (save for a small delay for robot travel ...

Apparently bullets use the collision box to check if they hit trees, so if you plan on using shotguns to destroy trees early game, this mod makes it much more difficult. This really ought to be added to the mod's information.
