Re: Friday Facts #357 - Nuke

Really not a fan of the nuke sound effect. The visuals are pretty sweet, but the sound feels very weak and unsatisfying.

Re: Friday Facts #339 - Beacon HR + Redesign process

Please, for the love of God, don't put in random variations of a sprite. I would probably stop playing until someone made a mod to force a particular orientation. Many Factorio players are really OCD about making everything straight and orderly, and this steps all over that. Maybe having different s...

Re: Version 0.17.58

If there are enough of people wanting that, we could make some obscure option or command for that. Add my vote to the start of what I expect will be a long list :) +1 for this also. Yes! Definitely. This change has been very annoying. Maybe hold shift for the current behaviour and ctrl or shift+ctr...

Re: [0.17.38] Deconstruction Planner Reserving Particular Inventory Slot

After playing around some more, it seems that I middle clicked on a random slot in my inventory and that reserved a spot for the deconstruction planner. Not a bug then, but is this intended behaviour? It seems strange that this can accidentally happen in an inventory that is set to be automatically ...

[0.17.38] Deconstruction Planner Reserving Particular Inventory Slot

I initially noticed that the landfill in my inventory was not sorting properly. A deconstruction planner was splitting the stacks of landfill into two different sections, as seen in screenshot1. After playing around a bit, I noticed that it wasn't a particular deconstruction planner. I had 2 decon p...

Re: Version 0.17.29

I agree with the other comments on the rail ghosting. Being able to build rail ghosts without removing obstacles is extremely important earlier in the game before personal roboports. The manual track building mode isn't a suitable replacement either due to the small number of tracks it can show at o...

Re: Friday Facts #273 - Cutscene controller & Localisation plan

The cutscene controller video made me a little motion sick as well. I think it's moving too fast maybe? And maybe also panning and zooming simultaneously makes it worse? It's definitely accelerating the camera too quickly. The change from stationary camera to moving camera should be much more gradual.

I suspected that that was the case. I wouldn't have wound up making the report, but the weird stuttering seemed worth reporting.

Re: [0.16.16] Inside lane on belt stopping when adding splitter.

Also, the behaviour was the same with all mods disabled.

I also just tried adding items to the sulfur lane, and it stopped too.

[0.16.16] Inside lane on belt stopping when adding splitter.

I was building a smart oil setup that I had used before, but I wanted to improve the compression of the iron i was inserting onto a belt that already had sulfur in the other lane. So I moved the inserters adding the iron so that they were inserting on to side belts and connected those in with splitt...

Click & Drag Cargo Wagon Filters

It would be nice if when we are setting filters in a cargo wagon we could set one and then click and drag it through the whole inventory. Right now we have to copy it to all 40 slots individually in every car, which takes forever.

Re: 16.15 It is possible to "upgrade" a splitter with a belt

I'm not a fan of this change either. I can't think of a single time I've found it useful, and it's CONSTANTLY a problem when upgrading belts. You accidentally move your mouse one tile too far and replace an inserter covered with ore, and then you have to change the item in your hand to a splitter an...

Changing Ore Settings Mid-Game

I decided to try my hand at building a 1000 SPM megabase for the first time, potentially expanding up to 2000 SPM if I get around to it. So I decided to use RSO along with Angel's Infinite Ores, plus some other mods, to make my life easier. Unfortunately, as I was unfamiliar with RSO settings, and h...

[16.7] - Unable to Place Chemical Plant

I am trying to build an oil setup that I brought into my new 0.16 playthrough from my old 0.15 world using a blueprint. As part of that blueprint I have chemical plants making lubricant in 2x2 sections, with pipe running down the middle. For some reason, when I placed the blueprint, two of the chemi...

Re: Friday Facts #221 - 0.16 is out

I do agree that compressing with undergrounds is unintuitive and doesn't make sense. I did like it though, just because it allowed many builds (especially very tight beaconed builds) to be much tidier and elegant than is possible with sideloading or splitters. But I do see the valid argument against...

Re: [0.16.0] Sideloading works compeltely different now

Whether or not this was an intended change, I think it's a very bad change. Especially as I heard (haven't had time to confirm) that undergrounds no longer fully compress either. Sideloading and compressing with underground belts is a fundamental part of how basically everyone designs their bases. H...
