The game is lacking a good alternative to attack spawners at a medium distance. The rocket launcher has a poor range. 1. A turret that shoots rockets at a medium distance, same than the rocket launcher Why: I was playing deathworld marathon, and I realized that it was difficult to snipe spawners wit...

Ok so first, I want to say I find vanilla multiplayer pretty uninteresting and chaotic: trolls can remove entities/belts/etc it's very difficult or impossible to agree on how to organize a base (I mean with 20 players it becomes difficult: who does what? where's the main bus? etc) I have about 1200 ...

Probably not a factorio bug. See https://wiki.factorio.com/Robotic_network#Choosing_the_post_for_charging. This is more likely to be considered a feature of that particular design. Handling bot charging is one of the things that make bot based design not as simple as it seems at first glance. For a...

Thanks for the report but as you've speculated: this isn't a bug. Robots use a heuristic for "should I charge at this roboport or find another" and they use distance from themselves as the first value and number of robots charging/waiting to charge as the second. The distance value plays ...

I have 2500 logistics bots, with about 70 roboports. All bots are busy, and I can see that many are queuing for charging to very busy roboports, while other nearby roboports seems completely idle without bots charging. I'm not sure it's really a bug, or if the game is working as intended. Screenshot...

It's currently difficult to feed a nuclear reactor with the right amount of nuclear fuel because of the temperature inertia, since players are left to watch the amount of steam, but temperature inertia makes steam irrelevant.

Uploading a 40MB save file failed again... I might be able to send it elsewhere?

I just saved before feeding artillery cannons, which triggered many biters to come fight against laser cannons which started to be destroyed.

I pressed escape to pause, and the game crashed.

The save file is 40MB. The forum thing had an issue uploading it, my internet is not great.

It is again possible to use productivity modules on kovarex enrichment. The problem is that now, this blueprint has the annoying flaw of accumulating the bonus U235 and re-inserting it inside the centrifuge instead of putting it inside the logistics network. 0eNrsvdtuXUeyLfgrDT2bxsx7ZgGn3/qpP2GjYFAy...

A colored LED to quickly visualize which assembler/chemical plan are actively doing something. This can be really helpful to diagnose bottlenecks. An research upgrade to the radar range, even if the distance bonus is very small or part of the infinite research. Not sure if it's technically possible...

It's true that bots are powerful, but they are useful in places where you either have too many different items to spread through a factory, or where spreading items is just more efficient with bots. Either: add a faster belt, or some kind of portal belt to teleport items. allow a very very fast inse...

Added filter slots for chests (enabled only for wagons, not for chests)

Less grey Low Density Structure icon The icon is barely visible when it is on a belt, a less grey color would be appreciated! (same thing for the forum, cannot see my text mouse cursor). Filter slots in chests Just like wagons can have dedicated slots for certain items, I don't understand why it wa...
