[*]Fixed that agricultural tower would show all nauvis tiles as unplantable. Nauvis grass, dirt and red desert are now specifically plantable for tree seeds and highlight as green. (https://forums.factorio.com/122065)

Wait, isn't this a stealth nerf? Now you can no longer plant trees on ...

Summary

Railguns are currently severely firerate constrained by their animation, and in combat conditions will fire at approximately 1/6th of their nominal maximum firing speed, or 0.13 shots per second.


More detail

The railgun has a default firing speed of 0.5 shots per second, and with ...

If you want to avoid confusion from the tooltip, you could just quietly allow for planners in the inventory without explicitly telling the player. This has the downside of, well, not telling the player. But at least anyone who tried would discover it.

A second option would be to allow planners to ...

tl;dr: Add the ability to manually change machine color. Useful for organization and aesthetics.

Several different entities support color changing; trains, train stops, cars, players, and more. I think that support for this should be extended to common factory machines.

This would be serve a few ...

Barrels are a little clunky and don't get a lot of love. So, I think they should be improved, and a good way to do this would be to allow machines to natively support barrels.

What do I mean by "natively"? Well...

Lets look at a assembler:

We want to make blue circuits ...

That's indeed an original proposition but that sound like a pain to me, sorry but there is this situation sometimes that occurs when you can't put something back because say robots filled your inventory when something was in your cursor. It seem like this may happen whenever you pick up something ...

A simple third option that I didn't see anyone suggest after skimming the thread:

When you remove armor, you get temporary inventory slots .


Say you have 20 stacks of iron gears in your inventory, and when you take off armor 10 of those stacks would spill. Instead of spilling, the 10 extra slots ...

TL;DR Lamp optimization; change them to work entirely like solar panels to further reduce their performance impact, adjust visuals slightly to accomodate.



Note : This suggestion applies to normal, non-circuited lamps only. Circuited lamps can't be optimized as I am about to suggest and should ...

Tl;Dr: does LTN offer a way to automatically filter wagon slots for each delivery? This would be useful, but I can't find any documentation about it.


Long version:
I recently learned that LTN can do mixed item-type trains, as well as partially filling trains.

This is handy in some cases, but also ...

Going to break this up a bit so I can respond more easily without a wall of text.



To add a special behavior for when the chest contains all of the same simple item and stored compactly, you would need to add (in my estimation):

1. A 2-byte field with the index of the first non-full slot, or 0 ...

First of all, thank you for this great explanation. Most of it I did know, but you showed me some new aspects. How long did it take to make this post? The subject is interesting.

Second: when shrinked to only one item type, this looks like a real improvement.

But I can’t be sure, because in ...

This is a typical case, where adding an index would make things faster. In special cases. 8-)

A) don’t you think the last slot of a chest isn’t already cached? Why? :roll:

B) general usage of index would lead to a very big index compared to the slots if there are many different things in a ...

Have containers store two additional numbers: last index of item inserted and last index of item removed. Start iterating item insertion/removal from those, respectively.

If a player or other thing that doesn't play by the 'rules' (iterates from start/end) touches the container, reset the counters ...

Long story short, I strongly prefer to play with the Spidertron Engineer mod, which basically replaces your character with a spidertron. It does this by locking you inside a spidertron, and disabling all armor, gun, etc recipes so that the spidertron effectively is your character instead.

As such ...

Ah, alright, thank you for clearing that up. It's a very minor issue anyway, I was mainly reporting it on the behalf of a friend who was jokingly complaining about it.

Edit: Though, wouldn't it make sense to have that linkage always vanish when a adjacent wall is removed? There's no way in normal ...

Stone walls will visually link to adjacent water tiles, similarly to how they link to adjacent walls. However, when this adjacent water tile is removed using landfill, the visual linkage remains and will not disappear until the wall itself is removed and replaced.

See video below for demonstration ...

Possible issue, ultimate inserters of all types have 40 health on the latest version. Seems like since the trend is better building = faster + more health + more power consumption, they should probably have more health than fast/stack inserters (which have 150/160 respectively).

Maybe it was a typo ...

I know this supports Bob's faster belts, but does it also support the faster belts from https://mods.factorio.com/mod/UltimateBelts?
