Two comments, both related to suspension of disbelief: One: Exposed belts in space. Things would be flying about. It feels like bots-only in space would make more sense in terms of believability. But I get the point of making it belt-only. But exposed belt in space as a concept is just utterly wrong...

Anyone know the changes needed to get this working in/compatible for 1.1.x?

I kinda feel like the timing between drill movements (or "dwell time") should both be longer and independent of the effective drill speed. Seeing it move like every half-second with twelve beacons looks... Wasteful? The amount of "working" movement doesn't fit the amount of outpu...

Does anyone know if it's even possible to create an Over/Under Splitter such that one of each input/output is a regular belt and an underground belt? If it is possible, I was hoping for it to be 2-blocks long and 1-wide. (I feel like that would kinda keep it on par with the normal splitters being 1-...

I know this seems like a silly little thing, but when you guys release version, you should start with version .01 or .001. If you start with 0.17.1 and move to 0.17.9. your next release of 0.17.10 will suddenly jump up and throw all the previous releases out of order. I noticed this because it is h...

I'm still not convinced about the new texture of enemies. But nests are definitely too flat. Otherwise, I support the checkpoint suggestion. Or any mechanic that prevents trains to stockpile when trying to reach the same station while others identical stations are free. I agree about making fulfill...

While you're at this with the blueprints, could we get something similar for Deconstruction Planners? (Or just integrate them into the Blueprint system?) Since Decon-Planners can have filters, I find I would want to have several of them with preset filters... But I won't because it would clutter the...

This would eliminate my need to install and track The Fat Controller mod, which does mostly this. Warnings are just text messages with the mod though. A clickable alert that centers you on the problem train in map view would be nice. (When you have dozens of trains spread across a large area and onl...

There was actually a mod for mass belt reversal. Last I checked, it wasn't updated for 0.15+. (I don't recall using it in 0.15.x when I ported my 0.14 save and mods over.) It worked quite well. I think it was just called Belt Reverser. *A one minute search later* Ahahaha! Guess I was wrong about the...

Crude oil question: how is it expected to work with distance? Is it expected to start with more initial yield and slowly deplete to 20% or is it expected to stay somewhere higher, dependant on the distance? https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=51713 My understanding is that oil well...

Having a train or wagon with only an equipment grid is actually a really cool idea, especially if there is a good variety of equipment you can use. I can imagine people would have fun creating complicated defense networks if you have lasers, shields, exoskeletons (which would have to be called some...

Just reverted back to 0.15.21 because of the Inserter changes, just to find out that my save can't be loaded, because I already saved it with the new version and apparently you can't load then. All autosaves are on the new version as well. Please revert that change, it breaks all my unloading stati...

Can we reuse the rocket? Time for a mod to add reusable rocket tech infinite science, gradually increasing the chance of successful rocket recovery and re-use... ;) If someone does this, I kinda hope it includes a "boat" vehicle that needs to be place in water somewhere to the right/east ...
