Old item icons

I've been unsuccessfully trying to find all the old icons for the items in the game via google image. I've been playing since 2017 and I remember many of the icons looking way different, and I think some of them have gone through multiple iterations of appearance. There are some old pictures here an...

Re: How do logistics robots weight what they deliver to?

So after posting this question I remembered I can just go find this out myself. logisticsplit.jpg The setup is providing infinite bricks into the provider chest and a single logistic robot transfers them into the requester chests (which are then offloading them into void chests). The chest on the ri...

How do logistics robots weight what they deliver to?

First to make sure I'm on the right page: Given 2 or more requester chests requesting the same amount of a single material (let's say Iron plates), and assuming there's insufficient supply of these items so that these chests never fill up: Does the logistic network always supply them evenly? Does th...

Re: I Miss Alien Artifacts!

I never fully agreed with removing alien research packs. I just think their use should've been changed - made non essential.

An alien research line would represent research on alien physiology etc, which would translate into attack bonuses and debuffs against certain types of biter.

Pressing WASD in a train sets it to manual

This is just a small quality of life improvement. It is often cumbersome having to set a train from auto to manual and back while sorting out a jammed train. However, there are circumstances where you want to be in a train and keep it automatic. The player makes their motive clear when they use any ...

Flamethrower fuel is actually Chlorine trifluoride, which ignites with rock, and pretty much everything else for that matter.

Re: Better and faster repair packs

Yes, unless you use rocket silos as defensive walls, I struggle to see cases where a faster repair pack would be of much additional benefit, nor do I see compelling reasons to make the MK2 repair pack over more MK1 repair packs. The speed of repair is never the limiting speed of anything in factorio...

Re: Clicking on the mini-map should center the radar view around the point clicked, rather than your person

Huh. I never noticed you could do this.

Yes, it seems obvious that you should be able to view on the part of the minimap that you click.

Re: Typing combinator values faster

Yes, this is a pain to do manually. Also i'm often taken off-guard when you try to delete the preset number and it won't let you, and you end up typing one too many zeros.

Make mk 1 power armour 6 x 8 instead of 7 x 7

On first glance, you'd think that the difference in slots between the two power armours (7 x 7 vs 10 x 10) wouldn't amount to much, but in fact, it is huge, and in my opinion, the gap is too big. In terms of space, the MK 1 has half that of the MK 2 (49 vs 100), but in terms of fitting the actual us...

Re: Ensuring trains visit all stops with the same name fairly.

A counter ? Every station counts "+1" whenever supplied, and you always deliver to the lowest count needing supplies. I do not know enough about circuits to implement this. How would you add a +1 count to a station? How do you compare multiple signals to find the lowest? And how do you ge...

Re: Ensuring trains visit all stops with the same name fairly.

Okay. When starting material production is greater than consumption there is no problem. I am not referring to that situation. I am referring to situations where because of a depleted mining base or because of a train deadlock (which seeing as I still don't truly understand train signals, is pretty ...

Ensuring trains visit all stops with the same name fairly.

I am currently transitioning my base into a rail-based megafactory for the endgame. The plan is to have most of the intermediate products for research and launches produced in individual bases and transported by rail. Each output of one base (e.g. circuits) is delivered by train to one of many stati...

More bonuses to rocket launcher research

Just a little one. All rocket shooting speed bonuses should give an additional +1 range to the rocket launcher, and all (finite) rocket damage bonuses should increase the blast radius (say, by 0.5 units per tier) of the explosive rocket. It's nice to see the rocket launcher being useful against big ...

Shotgun causes knockback

I've seen this suggested in a comment somewhere, but I don't believe it's been made into an actual suggestion. Shotguns need a little love. They are somewhat useful at the start of the game, and are greatly outclassed by the end of the game. Instead of trying to tweak the numbers until they fit into...
