I was wondering if anyone could help make this train setup work, signals are really unintuitive especially with my track "design". I have a single train stop for iron ore and two trains that I was hoping would share this train stop. I placed a signal on either end of stop, the idea is that...

I find that starting zones leave something to be desired, While I do not think the starting zones have to be the same in every game, I currently think that there can be to high of extremes for them, a starting zone with no oil on a death world is not going to work out. I think this can be easily fix...

It would be nice to have a feature where drones can auto route train tracks and conveyor belts with just a starting and end point, would make those really long conveyor belt/track lines easier to put down.

For the love of all that is holy, please, please change the way the game Auto saves things, at the start of any game, ask the player for a saved game file, then keep auto saves under that file name (maybe a setting of number of auto saves to keep per file?) just lost 12 hours of work on a death worl...

simple suggestion, on the main map the station names for trains are shown, but in the train preview map they are not, which is would be nice when looking at it to schedule trains.

My suggestion is for a Mining Drone, it fly off to the nearest mine-able resource hacks away at it, then returns it to storage chest, slow? yes, amazing with 100 + drones? also yes

will be trying the hardcore run at twitch.tv/dakenho3 if any one wants to enjoy my pain

I have had an idea to live stream factorio on the hardest settings possible and let the internet relish(and mustard for that matter) in my struggles. my question for you? what settings should i use, i know stone veins will not spawn if size is set to lowest level above none, should i just use death ...

I have been getting consistent frame rate dips in my power generation area, all other sections seem to work fine but this one spot constantly lags. I am using steam power supplied by a near by 12ish coal mining operation, I have 3 rows steam plants, each row consists two 9 long parallel seam generat...

well technically you probably should maybe the take away suggestion for this should be: 1. It would be nice if the developers finished the game with multiple game modes (or perhaps something for post release) 2. including mods that the community made or source game mode ideas from the mod suggestion...

I was curious what you all felt the bets difficulty settings for the game is here is the problem I run into low difficulty(low alien/alien base density) but with low minerals/low density: to easy, lots of running around default setting :to easy high enemy difficulty, low minerals density: not enough...

I think they are attempting to address the scaling of difficulty, currently the difficulty is kind of static and primarily based on density of aliens, it really becomes mute in the late game even on the highest density (if you can crawl laser turrets you can melt enemies).

So I had a thought for a game mode that would seem to work well with factorio So the idea is based on a railroad tycoon II mission the idea was you had to move goods around to various provinces on the map to improve your military score there, if your combined opponent score for adjacent territories ...

Coal/oil is not the only product that has this problem, trees also have little use in the late game, its easier to make power lines with steel and using wood as a fuel is pointless out side of the first few minutes of the game. I find my self using a flame thrower to clear trees instead of chopping ...

just thought I start a little something with end game/scenario ideas. the queen: their is a queen in a cave: better build a train with a nuke on it (or just filled with explosives), and ram it in thier lane defense: there are a few lanes which players can contest over in multiplayer and build a fact...

a planning mode would be nice, often times i find my self making little mistakes on my layouts and plans and it would be nice if i could plan it out in advance.

what does the crafting speed value actually mean? for instance if an item has a crafting speed of one second and the crafting speed of a factory is 0.5 does this mean it actually takes two seconds to make?
