My 5 Cents to the Selector Combinator: Making it possible to have control logic on one color and values on the other would be a great addition. Essentially we have two different wires for receiving signals of different origin.. why not make them as atomic as they are with a simple toggle switch? ima...

Hello there. Today I thought it would have been a great idea to use my Nintendo Switch License to put a second player with 14 personal laser defense into my spidertron as passenger. now while this Idea may sound quite charming, this is what I get: https://i.imgur.com/OVQ97NB.png I'm pretty sure I pa...

artillery shell drops should be part of the reloading cycle as others mentioned already.

i see first class debugging as a big barrier for people to start contributing to anything.
i'll certainly check out that vscode plugin.
i have to say though that the lack of proper debugging til now was the main reason i didn't touch factorio modding too.

it would still be neat to be able to configure the maximum amount of trains that are allowed to target a train station at once. this way only one loaded iron ore train would leave the depod if a station signalizes that it can take more iron ore. it could also allow two trains to target if the amount...

1. continue multiplayer would be awesome 2. i moved from zfs to xfs with mdadm raid "10" (combination of 1 and 0 with one metadata block per drive) and luks2 on 4x 4tb hdd's i sure lost snapshots but rbackup / borg / ... are just enough to handle that for me. you might want to give syncthi...

removing blueprint import / export will result in people sharing feature complete blueprint-storage.dat files. it also removes some other power user usecases. secondly: if you really want miners to only output with inserters, you should add inserter management so you can grab from the top and put st...

i suppose adding aurora support directly into factorio itself would be benefitial to us.

while i agree that a mod would solve this easily i'd prefer to see this in vanilla factorio because visually you should be able to get through these obstacles. also i'd say this is a bug: https://i.imgur.com/gKPK9lo.png since you can run through that from time to time. (depending on collision calcul...

set it to purple. it will be harder to read. just saying this decrease in saturation adds to readability alot.

about my player color should be readable proposal: factorio_2018-02-15_20-15-09.png i really like that you took the time to implement my proposal as fast as that but.. i'd say it could need some improvement :D about the opt-out / opt-in stuff.. i'd say beta should always be opt-out while stable shou...

hm. i just noticed 0 0 0 is kinda unreadable on top of stone and concrete.

but still.. nice change.

awesome!
was as easy as i thought right?

One thing that would be interesting is being able to set a player's text colour separate from their 'ingame' colour… that's totally possible right now through modding since each player has two color values assigned. one for the player name / item color and one for chat color. my proposal simply add...

as a matter of fact i already know the game has two separate values for player color and player chat color. (yes, you can essentially write in a different color than your entity is colored in when assigning a different chat color to your entity) so i'd say transforming my pseudocode into in game cod...

tile on top of a cliff would have to be a little closer to the top of a screen, than the tile on the bottom. i strongly agree to this. it would just mess up perspective and essentially break the current grid system. keep in mind the whole game is running in an alligned grid. nothing is loose except...

one bad sideeffect would be that this would increase map size pretty fast.
in addition to that it depends on play style. if you plan on creating a mega base you are usually going straight into one direction instead of spreading evenly.

to everyone: please leave feedback if you agree or disagree to this. commenting will bump it up in the thread overview. i'd like to know everyones opinion on this. strawpoll.me/15064935 corresponding reddit post: /r/factorio/7xht6p simple and easy explaination of the problem: low contrast between te...

i don't think changing the background is enough. see my text color change proposal here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=57796
