Of course, there's a lot more commands available than buttons on that controller...but I haven't even bothered to map all of the buttons I do have! Do you really need two separate rotate buttons? Or hotkeys for every button that appears on screen and can be clicked with the mouse? I think I have 16...

Interesting...am I the only one who has *never* used a keyboard/mouse to play Factorio...? I've logged over 4000 hours of this game in Steam, every single one of them played using only the Steam controller, and it's always worked great for me. Is there a reason the Steam Deck is so different or is i...

Same here. In 100% of possible cases I have to either delete this wait condition or change it to something else or just switch the train to manual when I arrive. Never ever did I found the default to be appropriate. I use the default frequently. It's the Factorio version of a paradrop IMO. You drop...

Yes! This would also be great for late game, where you get to infinite research which needs hundreds of thousands of science packs... There are times when you could watch that progress bar for an hour and never see it move, even though your labs are running full speed!

The latency of the inserters or a small gap on the feeding belt might be enough that the machine runs out of material. I don't think I've gone *quite* that fast on anything, but you definitely don't want to be feeding from a belt. Stack inserters will be MUCH faster if they're pulling from a chest ...

For stackers/stations that get that busy I put a repath-forcing pair in front of the entry chain, that works, it's just "now pick the closest open stop according to the _current_ track conditions". Can you explain that "repath-forcing pair"? How exactly do you force a repath? Th...

+1 There's a penalty applied when trying to path through an occupied station... But if two trains path to the same station at the same time, one occupies the station and the other ends up waiting at the intersection for that same station to be free rather than moving on to the next free station of t...

Holding Shift while placing a blueprint instructs bots to de-struct rocks/trees/cliffs where-ever they are in the way. OP mentioned that directly, but wants more control over it, possibly similar to these suggestions from earlier this month: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=78843...

My question is, how good is stadia optimized for mouse and keyboard games? And remember any semi decent pc or laptop can run factorio. Actually I‘ve runned a rather big base with an potato (Laptop with i5 7200U, Radon R5 M420 and 8GB DDR4 Ram) over the holidays and got decent FPS (of course on a sm...

If you check the URL of the images, they're dropbox thumbnails. Dropbox apparently deletes those after 4 hours, so that's why it's no longer working.

Below where you enter the text of your post there's two tabs, one says options, one says attachments... Try adding your images as an attachment.

Yeah, an option would be nice, although the changes are a bit more involved than that (it changed how the inventory works a bit too). I never got more than four buttons configured on mine; it's just so much easier to grab items from the main inventory now... But any kind of quickbar automation would...

I think OP has a decent suggestion really. It's very common for me to have a bunch of random cliffs marked for deconstruction that I don't actually want deconstructed...and then as I walk around I end up losing cliff explosives that I might be intending for something else. I try to build an outpost....

Like urza99814, the inventory in factorio is just so good that I almost never use the quickbar. I also never display more than one quickbar as it just blocks parts of the screen. The only task that I really use the quickbar for is combat. Being good in combat requires every fractional second you ca...

...or I suppose even the question of IF a player uses their hotbar (I can't imagine what playing with no hotbar usage would be like, but there's no such thing as "doing it wrong," so maybe.) Yup, that'd be me. I still don't really understand the new hotbar system and I find it's quicker t...

What I typically do is name all the supply stations the same thing and then put it into the schedule several times, so the train goes to: - depot - resupply - resupply - resupply or similar. This enables it to go to more than one station in a trip without it going to every single one of them. There...

Just wanna throw my vote in for reconsidering the ban on fluid mixing. I think the current mechanic is more annoying than the occasional accidental mixing. And honestly, a lot of that is just because "well that was stupid" is far less frustrating to me than "WHY won't it let me build ...

Wow...is that really how it works?? I've played over 3,000 hours in this game and I still didn't know that. Wonder how much I've lost because of it... It'd be nice if there was some kind of indicator of such things, since it's pretty unintuitive for random structures to just work differently -- Nucl...

Yeah, I'd never seen or heard of scrolling up to move down a list until pretty recently, and I assume it's related to touch screens as mentioned above. Personally I find it absolutely infuriating to have something that has been standard for decades suddenly flip due to some new and largely unrelated...

It would be nice if instead of roundtrip mode (visiting all stations in a fixed order) there was a way to set priority on a train station through the circuit network, allowing you to broadcast to trains with this station as a stop to prefer it over stops with a lower priority, or to skip certain st...
