As mod solutions have been mentioned, but they are all overhaul mods (so do a lot more than simply give an alternative to wood), I'm just going to plug in here that there are smaller mods out there giving a new use to just wood, like gasification and/or charcoal, and other mods that allow trees to r...

"Left hand" and "right hand" traffic are higher level concepts that apply to the rail network as ideas in your head, they cannot be flipped by an algorithm seeing only a blueprint of a part of the rail network. I have found that it can make sense to flip double track (mainline) ...

this is something I don't much care about Glad you still decided to enlighten us with your important opinion on the topic Well, yeah. I don't want the added clutter on screen for something that I'd never use/don't want. I'm allowed to voice my opinion on that without getting snide remarks, thank you.

As non-mod-author i would find it interesting too to see which mods depend on the mod i'm interested in, sometimes it's an old classic mod, and there exist new tweaks or variant built upon it or compatibility bridges and it's not always easy to find them even if you know the 2 or 3 letters acronyms...

However i think it feels wierd to "stack" loose pieces of ore on a belt, it would just fall down I kind of agree with you here, at least in terms of the perfect stacks, but it does make sense to make them stackable anyway. It might be possible for them to tweak the graphics of it so that ...

I think to generate an unique ID with gamestart to separate different games with the same seed could be used to generate the folders. I don't think that'd be needed, per-se. Generating a new map could just set a flag true. Then on save, it uses this flag state to understand this is the first ever s...

There is already a mod for this :D Albeit that it's required for everything. Here -> https://mods.factorio.com/mod/placeonconcrete Hmm, yeah, I'm not sure I'd want it required for everything. And on reflection, maybe even the required bit should be removed and made more optional in the sense of the...

Ah, if what SoShootMe said is accurate to the OP's request, this is something I don't much care about and would agree that this adds clutter unless it was an optional setting, or something that was just relegated to mods (a mod might be able to inject this calculated info for you into the tooltip).

Factorio combinators are turing complete. (So are factorio trains, factorio belts, and probably a few other things as well) So we already have all the tools you need to write any program you care to. Go ham and write your AI. We've also had the grey goo base that expands itself depending on what it...

Completely disagree with the suggestion.

As an alternative suggestion to accomplish the same end goal (and I feel like may have been suggested before): the ability to disable/close an input/output when there is a duplicate of it available on the same entity.

I actually have no issues with the way it is now, and feel like changing it now would just screw everyone up. As mentioned, most people associate number 1/top row with most commonly accessed items, and as such it makes sense for these to stay. The fact that the expanded selection is in reverse order...

I would actually like more uses for concrete; like more advanced buildings require the higher tier concrete on the ground before you can place the buildings. For instance, centrifuges and nuclear reactors require refined concrete to be placed on the ground before the building can be placed. Assembl...

Apologies, and this may be because I don't typically care about these stats, but can you give more details on the what, where, and why, because I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I think the latest FFF makes this implemented for 2.0? https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-394 Now that flipping is working on all buildings and items we decided it was worth expanding that to everywhere you might want to flip something (not just when holding a ...

I feel like this would actually add more to what the player needs to know with zero benefit. When I'm transferring items around, I find what we already have works well and don't see the need to add yet another modifier for transferring a different amount. (We also have half stack transfers, which yo...

I think it'd be better to leave the colors. When I'm searching for an inserter, I typically do it visually, meaning I'm looking for the color. Changing the names has no impact here; changing the color screws everything up.

Of all the save change suggestions, I think this one would be best.

My last annoyance with map generation is when ore patches are generated that overlap the coastline what would be in the sea is lost. This in and of itself doesn't bother me in the slightest, and to some extent I wouldn't want them to change it. If anything with their map generation, I wish that whe...

To add a bit to what Qon said, you can also organize these into folders to keep them separate from your regular saves (although you'd need to use your OS's file manager to do that). And that'd be uploaded to the steam cloud as a sub-directory? No idea. I don't use Steam Sync anymore because of the ...

I wonder why you'd dos a forum of a non-competetive game though

Because some people are bored, a-holes, or maybe just had a plain old gripe against Factorio and/or its devs.
