I would suggest that the “output” of a pipe section (aka what a machine can draw from it) shouldn’t only scale by its fill level but also the number of pipes the section consists of (maybe with a threshold and bigger increments). This would somewhat limit the “throughput” of a pipe system and there...

Pog; though I wished you'd take inspiration from GregTech power system because Thermal Expansion approach completely nullifies caring about throughput in a system as a whole... Completely ignoring the fact i stole the power system from IC2 basically, and then reimplemented it badly. Not a good Idea...

Is this feature really that hard to implement?.. Many games have it like Path of Exile, Dota 2, even saw it in Darkest Dungeon... If I didn't knew, I would bet everything that Factorio is one of the games where it definitely should have been as I think many people often stay AFK... As for me, every ...

TL;DR Make it so you could somehow clear the ground from biter's goop after you cleared a nest and preserve a terrain without just covering everything with concrete. Why ? Now you can only place concrete on top, but then if you remove it ground would still be in goop, so you can have either dirty g...

yes pls, +1 for the feature

It's a fun extension and doesn't break anything in terms of regular vanilla progression since it's only would be actually viable only in end-end game and with post rocket factory:

joined with existing thread The more ground laying idea you described at the end. You are free to make an extra suggestion out of that. Don’t forget to make specific examples, because I’m not 100% sure, if I understood the idea with the circuit breaker for the switch (which is kind of big circuit b...

TL;DR Make additional clicking buttons inside GUI displays for some things: https://i.imgur.com/Hf5AkqL.png Why ? It would be really convenient for things like splitters as you would never have to think where is right or left this time. Also mb this could be used by other entities as well to create...

If you can't afford it, maybe you are doing it wrong? You increase the difficulty and then complain about it being hard. If you are new at the game, ask for help on how to improve so that you become good enough to play on deathworld. Don't say that hard mode is too hard so the devs should make it e...

I always felt that way, but never dig into "tests", but now for a challenge I'm playing a deathworld desert map, with acutally increased starter boarders to 200%. So it's even less harder then a deathworld. So in the early game I need to keep my pollution really low to keep attacks at none...

Idea for a tip:

This is a problem that I had, and saw it in a few streamers that were new to the game — new players don't even consider that it's possible to put productivity modules into labs, or even science packs recipe; even if they are already using them for blue circuits.

I think space science damage increase numbers should be rebalanced. I understand that the base numbers were increased, and research doesn't rise to a millions of packs straight away as in vanilla, but getting 3 and then less % damage increases feels bad and wrong; while in vanilla you can do space p...

When I open the subject from “rails” up to “blueprints in general” (both should work similar), these are similar threads: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=88691 Better Blueprint Placement https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=84697 Better UX for placing, removing, a...

Lol, I actually forgot I've crated this topic, and wanted to post this suggestion again ^^; But yea, if you are building rails on top of your base it's just declines to work — it doesn't even show a ghost of a rail so you could see exactly what entities you need to deconstruct so you need to remove ...

+1 This would especially be helpful for laying out train systems. The option should most likely be a checkbox „deactivate radar view for blueprints“ in the interface menu. No, I thought more like a quick toggle button, because radar vision is actually cool and useful, and many people would want to ...

Sometimes I prefer a map view to see and plan things on a global scale with it simplistic view, but at certain zoom level the map view turns into radar vision which makes things much less clear: https://i.imgur.com/XmouOV9.png https://i.imgur.com/zqJs238.png With a new addition to blueprints so that...

Great blog and surprise! I already can't understand how could I play without this before <3

p.s. me reading changes, live:

What kind of things you can do to balance trains between stations?.. I want to rebuild my base for 1k SPM, from my current 300, and even now I have problems with balance, which I solved just by having A LOT outposts and big stackers everywhere. Also I have a really simple circuit that disables stati...

TL;DR Concrete usage of mods as the intended way to play, by allowing players to manually toggle exact mods to not interfere with global steam achievements. Why ? I played with QoL mods since my first factory, and because of that I missed a lot of achievements; so last few weeks I spend completing ...
