Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

Real world radars is for detecting stuff like enemies, not for transmitting data. So I think it would be better to make an new entity for transmitting data and leave the circuit connection for an future implementation of getting data of enemies/biters in the radar range. Then the radar would work mo...

1.) Is it a free 2.0 feature or expansion only? (I will get it either way :P)
It's stated in the FFF that it's only in the DLC but it's in an separate mod so if you have the DLC you can play the old vanilla with only the elevated trains added if you want.

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

How will these qualities handle stacking? Especially wrt inserter hands. Will an inserter be slower, on average, if the quality levels are mixed? In a similar vein, will this interfere with all the optimizations around saturated belts? It sounds like 10% (or more) of end-game outputs could be highe...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

Overall, I love this! But I also hate the names! I expect you will make them moddable though, right? I'd name them something like Crude/Low (and you only realize the quality wasn't even good before you unlock quality modules and see it), Normal/Nominal, High/Great, Exceptional/Superior and Pristine...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

I hope on good mod support for quality. Stuff like be able for different recipes get results of different quality. Like making gears from iron -> base quality gears, from steel -> better quality gears, titanium -> even better quality. That would make it possible to make some mods I have been thinkin...

Re: make more entity prototypes support rotation

Largely the issues with making something rotatable that the base game never needs to be rotated are: A) the entity code has to support it in a path base-game never runs (error prone) B) the entity needs to use more RAM to store the direction for every entity even when not used by the base game C) t...

Rotatable chests

It would be nice to have moded rectangular chests and still be able to rotate blueprints 90 degrees. It's a request to make mods work better without being an API request. Vanilla chests is quadrates so they don't need to be rotated but moded ones may need it. In particular I am planning to use the m...

Re: Stacksize in tooltip

I am also missing info about stacksize. It's a real problem when hanling trains in big modpacks as Pyanodons.

Re: 3 and 4 way intersections

Considering the original post asks to notify about errors in this thread I've looked through it to help out... Yep, score = ((set1+set2+set3)/3) * (2/lanes) is the correct formula and it now also says so in the description. - Irregular power pole usage: We don't really have strict rules for include...

Re: Building train controll

Does this mod meet or miss any of your requirements? https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ShuttleTrainRefresh I have tried it and it didn't help much. I think "Train network for Players" is better. Both mods is more made for hiking on trains than using a dedicated building train. There is also o...

Re: Building train controll

I just have a train with 2 stations: Supply (5s inactivity) and Building (empty circuit condition). At Supply the train gets filled with building materials and wherever I want to build stuff I place a blueprint with the Building train stop. I can send the train back to Supply for more items, remove...

Re: 3 and 4 way intersections

It's hard to find the separete scores for the LHD and RHD versions. For me the LHD and RHD versions is separate designs and shoundn't be lumped together. Is it possible to filter by LHD and RHD? Maybe also spacing between the rails. I chose LHD/RHD and spacing after the intersections I design not th...

I am often using an dedicated building train and the controls and UI of Factorio is not done for that. A mod to fix that would be greatly appreciated. Features 1. Shortcut key to send the train to an dedicated "home"/restock station. So set the “Home” station in the schedule and set the tr...
