Re: Friday Facts #393 - Putting things on top of other things
It may be a great idea, or not. But it is locked away behind tech on a different planet? I have been playing a lot of Baldur's Gate 3 recently, and one thing that stands out and puts this game Head and Shoulders above others is that they allow multiple ways to get through or past or around each and ...

Re: Friday Facts #378 - Trains on another level
I have to admit, that I had hoped that the Factorio expansion would have been underground, rather than space. Shame you took the "easy" option. That being said, then yes elevated railways are more logical than tunnels. But I am disappointed in these. They are fairground rollercoasters rath...

Re: Friday Facts #376 - Research and Technology
I must say that the concept of quality items sounds great to me, but you did mention that some people (that includes me) don't use Beacons. Then later you mentioned the acceptable weirdness threshold, and might I suggest that Beacons breach that, as they magically transmit speed to entities around t...

Re: Friday Facts #374 - Smarter robots
The "solution" for bots running out of fuel and turning back, seems like a good idea when you have it set up as in the example. But if their start point was the nearest roboport to their destination, it wouldn't help. Why not treat the bots like ants. If x number of bots have to turn aroun...

Re: Friday Facts #347 - New hope demo levels
The New Hope demo levels/tutorial is fine, except that it begs the question of Backstory. Who was here before us? Where is/are they now? Can we locate/rescue them? If the Biters got so upset that they killed them, then why have the Biters calmed down again? What is the story of the Biters? Why are t...

Re: User Interface for "less abled"
That was from 4 years ago, and Rseding couldn't see the point then.
But now that Rseding has SEEN the light, perhaps the new menus and pop up boxes could ALL have this useful little feature?

User Interface for "less abled"
With all of the new UI popups, can I request ONE addition. Please add a Close Window X to the top right of EVERY popup.
I play less Factorio now as I often can only use one hand, and that is on the mouse. Being able to close windows with a mouse click would be a great benefit.

Re: Friday Facts #309 - Controversial opinions
Re: Biters Before you do anything else with them there has to be some lore to them, to explain their illogical behaviour. Then perhaps some logical changes could be made. Let me explain.... this planet Nauvis has been home to the Biters for a long time. Yet when we get here they are NOT omnipresent....

Stealth Biters
TL;DR A new class of biters for later game. Chameleon Biters that can infiltrate your base. Only visible whilst they are moving. When still they look like a rock, tree, inserter, assembler etc. What ? I suggest a new late game development of the biters. Stealth biters. They should be able to sneak ...

Re: Making trains stop faster.
This seems to work with a 1-1 train..... but would it work with a 4-8-4 train..... I have seen those things plow through another train with no problem. Or does a sideways train offer more resistance.?
