You suggest him an overhaul, but maybe he want's just an option without overhauling the game.
Personally I also seek for this option: start on a planet without sending my character there. And I see more options than just a roboport: a vehicle or a spidertron (spiderling) is also an option ...

no i dont have those mods but it could be a good idea for the future i'll check those thanks :)


I think many players attemted to solve this. I tried it too. But in the end: no matter will you solve it or not - it's not scaleable. I mean, you could solve with circuits 2 stations, 3, maybe 5 ...

This game ... is one of the most Moddable games ever made.

If a player has a problem with something, there will be a mod or a setting to make the "annoying" thing go away. I understand that Gleba is annoying, so:

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/better ...

Me too. And in fact Gleba brings just one BIG problem - but this problem is killing everything.
The BIG problem: Gleba forces you to plan ahead heavily. It insentives "waterfall", when all other planets are kind of "Agile"
And that's it... It ruins game for me because it doesn't feel like a game ...

And no mods like cybersun or LTN that does almost exactly that?

+1 for better agri towers curcuit control.
The mod is good in principal - and I use it, but, I don't know why, it eventually just stops responding to signals: whenever I change the signals it just wont update the items inside...

I think docking spaceships in Space Exploration mod - is likely the most interesting feature that hooks me up to SE.
Hovewer I found myself struggling between
"Should I play SE? But I want thouse new planets and SE is an ovehaul it might conflict with them..."
and
"Should I play planets + Space Age ...

You'll see this little image of Alien Artifact...
It was in (much) earlier version of the game (which I also played and liked).

I don't know for details (which is why I don't implement it myself), but there are mods that do trigger on blueprint placement.
Notable example is: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/belt-turner

I've tried to look into it... well... lots of code, but only one event:
script.on_event(defines.events.on_pre ...

Nowdays it's quite easy to do with ChatGPT. Just ask him what you want to do and he makes all the code for you. It is very aware of Factorio API in most cases

Idea on an example:
1. You place some blueprint with fast inserters.
2. This logistic network doesn't have fast inserter, but it has simple yellow ones
3. A special notification asks you if you want to wait or downgrade now? You confirm...
4. The mod replaces fast inserters with yellow ones
5. And ...

Tier 1: A player could place a ghost of this inserter (or inserter itself), when he does a dialog looking like constant combinator appears.
In that dialog by default set signal "C"ount = 1

So then if this inserter moves an item it decreases the counter. When counter is zero the inserter is marked ...

Wouldn't that be great to have a save file just a few ticks before the game crushed because of mod error?

This seems counterintuitive... How could we "undo" last few ticks to restore all the game state to that point in time where the game was still be playable.

This might seem hard to implement ...

Hi there!

I bought Factorio here on factorio.com site before it came to Steam. And not only for myself but for my kids too.
So... will I be able to buy the expansion here?
