The electricity info panel has history of consumption and production, and current accumulator charge. But I frequently want to know the history of the accumulator charge, to diagnose problems like "do I have enough accumulators? Are they getting charged all the way?", and I have to guess that ...

I love this, and can't wait to play with it! My comments:

The click targets on the close/info/search buttons seem really small. Could you make them bigger?

How do you set the request/trash numbers? Today has a slider, which is fine. I see the +/- buttons labeled (9), but I don't see how they'd be ...

Yeah, it'd make the tree messier, but would make the list of available/unavailable/completed research neater.

Sorry I couldn't find a Map Generation feedback board.

A large biter nest spawned on top of my starting coal. I tried to play it, but when I got close to the coal, I quickly died.

Ideally the map generation algorithm could avoid this situation.

Settings: deathworld with a couple of tweaks around water and oil.

Higher-leveled tiered research sometimes requires science packs to research without those science packs being listed as dependencies in the tech tree.

For example, Physical Projectile Damage 3 requires Military Science Packs (which level 2 does not), but the tech tree lists it as only being ...

I'm not a fan of Queued being another color (orange). It's pretty hard to tell the orange "Queued" apart from the yellow available, which has the text "Queue" (especially for red/green colorblind people. The states should have a way to tell them apart that's not color-based.) Also, could you queue ...

Of the 27 items in my auto trash, 20 of them are set to 0, since I have no use for them anymore. Since the default amount for auto trash is the stack size, for each one I have to move the slider, and it's kind of annoying to have to do that on the most common case.

I suggest making the default ...

I know that one of the reasons hand crafting is slow is to encourage you to automate. Would this let you fall into the trap of hand making everything? And since armor comes in late game, when you should have most things automated anyway, would it really solve the frustration of having to wait for ...

From a technology standpoint, yeah, but I'm more concerned about gameplay. The fact that solar is so simple to design and deploy doesn't fit well with it's real world counterpart, so the existing photovoltaic panels fit better with midgame.

I just saw this suggestion about how to make solar ...

Solar is nice, but has two problems: it takes lots of space, and layout doesn't matter. All the best parts of factorio involve work to get a good layout. I ...
