Any chance you can make the colours match on production and consumption graphs?

Really nice improvements there!

Only two other train "mods" I can think of that you missed:

Re: Friday Facts #361 - Train stop limit, Tips and tricks

Amusing how no one mentioned the mod that does exactly this train limit thing: Concurrent Train Restriction.

Re: Version 0.18.28

Improved performance by up to 2.5x when the game needs to iterate Lua tables on the C++ side. Improved save/load performance of mod script data. Does any one have a reference posts on these two changes ? In case you didn't see it yet, bottom of the last blog post: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post...

Re: Version 0.18.22

Where do you find this "minor patch" description? Where do you find the promise that an update to the experimental beta branch won't break anything? You probably shouldn't be on the experimental branch if it's this upsetting to you that things might break. Go find out what SemVer is. Not ...

Re: Version 0.18.22

Er, yes. Yay, a "minor patch" broke lots of stuff!

Any chance you guys can use SemVer and do at least rudimentary testing that patch-releases don't break mods? This also implies checking a player *really* wants to upgrade to the next minor version (e.g. 0.19).

Re: [0.18.13] Character GUI misses `Logistics` tab after upgrade

I finally got around to bisecting the issue — [Combat Roboports](https://mods.factorio.com/mod/combat-roboports) is responsible. (I still needed to use the reset command(s) after removing the mod.)

Re: [MOD 0.16, 0.17] Realistic Electric Trains

But why do you need to put a buffer in the power pole? The Induction Charging mod is able to charge player/vehicle equipment grids directly from ordinary power poles. Combined with the Electric Vehicles mod (the .16 one at least; haven't tried the latest) this allowed pretty good electric trains in ...

Re: Friday Facts #260 - New fluid system

Alternative to above ↑ for flow control:

- standard pipes can only form two connections, i.e. straight or corner
- a new piece, pipe hub, can form up to 4 connections

Also, please consider dedicated graphics for diagonal pipes as with rails (and maybe even a pipe planner).

Re: Friday Facts #256 - The little things 3

Another little thing: can you fix requests getting filled by distant bots in a big network? Often it's quicker for a local bot to do two jobs than wait for a distant bot to arrive. Similarly for storage: why do bots place stuff in far away storage when there's much nearer options? And pre-emptive ch...

Re: Friday Facts #253 - Fans & Fun

You don't plan to solve the "glitch" then: trying to walk up a blue belt placed on a slow surface (sand) is impossible.

Why exactly does the surface under the belt affect player speed?

Re: Aren't construction bots available too late?

You could just use a fast-start mod; that's what I do now. Aside from that, you can build construction bots using only a very basic refinery set-up. Carry a bunch of engine units over to a simple electric engine assembler. Pip petroleum out for a small plastic & battery facility. Important point...

Re: Friday Facts #246 - The GUI update (Part 3)

Nice work on the GUI. Now you can try improving map-generation to use user-centric units instead of internal model parameters, e.g. replace the size/frequency/richness stuff with 'average amount of ore per km^2" (or other area unit), compactness, and randomness. (You can even use the same model...

Re: [MOD 0.16] Realistic Reactors

After a little experimentation, I realised the "start" signal is only for starting, i.e. the reactor won't stop automatically when the fuel cell is exhausted if the start signal is no longer present. Would it make sense to add that? I managed to make a very compact reactor with independent...
