A potential way to counter the digging enemies could be to add reusable mines to the game, which may explode or at least give the player a warning.

What if, instead of speed, the improved enemies could take 20-50 laser turret shots? Or what if they could fly and set up a base in your factory in unrendered chunks? That would make the game substantially harder for late game if you have a mega-factory and don't have turrets everywhere..?

TL;DR Rockets are fast. Rockets can go long distances. Why not take advantage of this and make your factory INTERPLANETARY ? Longer TL;DR With access to new moons, and planets, new resources and power systems could be exploited! Tired of things being too easy with robots? Why not build a massive, au...

Thank you! I'll try that right away!

Okay, I understand now that tanker cars have been released. However, for some inexplicable reason, my game is staying at the stable 0.14 version, and I can't figure out how to get 0.15 running. ReOP: I Just re-read through the comments (Bad on my part), but yes, I had no idea that tanker cars were i...

Good point. What about if you could run a diesel train across the tracks, laying down copper wires that, if connected to a power grid, would energize the track?

That's a good idea. What about iron/steel walls with more hitpoints than the stone wall?

TL;DR After you get past the initial low-tech part of the game, you are greeted with electricity and electric mining drills, which are what you stick with for the rest of the game. What: A faster, more expensive, electricity-heavy mining drill. Possibly a 5x5 drill with a 6x6 mining range, at 3 tim...

What about off-set inserters? Where it takes items from one space in one direction, and outputs it two in the opposite direction? Possible made from both a filter inserter and a long handed inserter. This could then also feature fast and filter capabilities, which would be pretty helpful.

Hi! I'm new to this forum, so please bear with me. *Disclaimer: I know that there are mods out there that let you do this, but it would be great if this is stock* Although Factorio uses some great transportation methods for cargo (yourself included), some things could be done to improve this system...
