The main problem of the expanding campaign (infinite possible situations) can mostly be eliminated by: A lways reveal new resource patches when expanding the map (new resource patches' richness could depend on resources left in old part of the map). E xpand the map by making some of the existing na...

- your pc is currently having a hard time and your framerate is not ideal 60fps, but varies from 10-15 each frame FPS and frame skipping should be irrelevant for drawing accurate particles. Whenever particles get drawn, their creation paramters and age in game ticks is known. Everything else should...

Inserter arm positions?

Inserter arm position change speed depends on availability of electricity or fuel.

I would like the new particle system being usable for moving sources (trains, biters, damaged bots...) too. Each particle would need a spawn offset from the (still immobile) emitter and emitters would have to be created all few tiles of movement of the source. But it should still perform way better ...

We don't like breaking changes, do we?

Hell yeah, we do! Without breaking changes, half of the game would not exist.

Then please give some other reasonable way to transfer 3000 fluids/s by single pipe.

Do the same that you do when belts need more throughput:
Build more pipes, use higher pipe tiers (modded only), or use trains for mass transport.

Maybe it is time to think about whether all weapons should be able to destroy all entities. Rails "exploding" due to gun fire or biter bites are hillarious to the point where it becomes immersion breaking. Having different hit and death animations for different damage types would also make...

MadClown01's processing already has depleted uranium plates which are used for cannon shells.

Having uranium plates is like having tungsten plates - makes no sense for material wich is too brittle to be deep drawn, punched, or bend...

The basic items for iron and copper are plates, but for uranium, they are blobs. They are fine as blobs as they are never needed in sheet form. More realistic would be to turn all the plates into ingot sheets (arrays of small ingots wich are interconnected for easy automated transport and apportion...

That is, it is necessary to implement a system that will read information about the amount of fuel in a locomotive. Then this is not a creation to show - but a feature request as it currently is not possible to read the current fuel amount from a locomotive in vanilla. There is the Inventory Sensor...

I think these two items should be renamed as well as retextured to look more like plates.
Uranium-235→enriched uranium plate
Uranium-238→depleted uranium plate

But why?
And how do you expect this cosmetic change alter the games balancing?

Ok. I use translate and will be good ok?

Try another translator.

I know about can_insert but it only tells me whether at least one item could be inserted. I need to know how much items of a stack could be inserted. I don't actually want to insert the stack into the target inventory at the time i want to know how much could be inserted (need it for controlling the...

I like answering people so i just answered this post after only reading the title.

You literally have an API full of words containing underscores. So being able to search for them in the forums would be nice. As it is now, searching for "can_insert" is useless, because the forum search searches for "can" and "insert" - wich are both common words while...

The CPU is below 70% constantly and the GPU is barely affected by the game. Can it be something else?

Factorio is not able to fully utilize more than one core. It is partially multithreaded, but single-thread performance and RAM throughput are still the limiting factors to look at.

I like the idea of having a potentailly unlimited amount of strategic maps to plan things. But even just being able to draw lines on the current map would still be a huge improvement. Could draw arrows to mark direction of ongoing liberation of land and resources. Couls also draw lines where walls s...

Thanks - and necroed that thread.

Basically, if you start with 1x1 chests, when you go up to max dimensions 2x2, you have 2x2, 2x1, 1x2, and 1x1. 3x3 has 3x3, 3x2, 3x1, 2x3, 2x2, 2x1, 1x3, 1x2, 1x1. Not factorial per-se, but NxM dimensions need NxM unique sprites allocated. If it is about the sprites, just look at early window deco...
