Your idea really muddles up the concept of the blueprints not being items, since they act like items.

Proposal 4 for sure. I feel the that this solution solves the most problems, simplifies the system, and does the least amount of harm to the existing player strategies. (sorry whoever is storing blueprints in chests). The one thing i think needs to be considered is a mechanism in which to quickly sh...

I'd love to be able to highlight & save a portion of my base to a group in the production statistics area. That way i could see Global Statistics: (this is what exists currently) Science 1: 10 x Factory Level 2 - Science Pack 1 1 x Factory Level 1 - Gear Production: Science Pack 1: 1/s Gear: 1/s...

I feel you're a programmer.

Its probably telling you to use the map preview feature.

We now have shadows of clouds moving across the ground. COOL

Those were there before.

If you can put it in cars can you put it in a stone furnace?

Becasue my taxi trains have a cargo wagon of frequently used resources, (walls,bots, turrets, poles) that refills at the main base. And my normal trains around base are something like 2-4 (or 2-4-2, depends) and a royal pain to drive manually. I have construction trains serving the exact same purpo...

... Why dont you just keep a train on you? Thats waaay easier. ... If I need a train, I simply steal the one that's going the closest to where I want to go and use manual mode. Although, I don't really have enough trains to make crashes a big issue... Becasue my taxi trains have a cargo wagon of fr...

I know the gui update was pushed to 0.17, but what about the trains "temporary stop" mechanic mentioned in https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-212 ? Control-clicking on any point on the locomotive's map (or any station) will add a 'Temporary stop' to it's schedule. It sounds a little p...

There needs to be a toggle hotkey to disable personal roboport usage. Sometimes you just want it off, like when you're driving a car and crash into a tree, you could just keep going but you would end up leaving a robot behind since it popped out to repair the 1 damage dealt to the vehicle.

I do sympathize, depending on where you live, 20$ can be quite a lot. Where I live, 20$ is : - less than 2 tickets to the cinema - half my Internet monthly subscription - If I had a smartphone (which I don't), that's what one month subscription would cost me (on average) - 1 day of food for my sign...

(not in the egyptian brackets style, but in the rest). Ah yeah, I forgot most programmers tend to put curly braces on separate lines from their corresponding statements. I've gotten in the habit of placing them on the same line as their corresponding statements simply to save space. Both methods ar...

I'm glad you're cleaning up the GUI code. The GUI and keybindings are the hardest part of this game for newcomers, and having additional help and consistency for new players will be great. While you're playing with the GUI, can you give mod authors a way to create additional views when you click on...

Heck No.

I don't recall where exactly, but it was actually stated by the devs at some point that open sourcing the code may be considered, probably once the game was quite mature.

I feel like once the game is released, (and i know this has been mentioned before, but tentatively) the devs should really consider open sourcing the code. Because there are some very enthusiastic and talented people out here that might actually be able to take the time to go through and figure thin...

But, then, I come from a C background where "= new (class)" laziness isn't present. I know my C99 code and force-of-habit is positively sprawling with "int number_of_[object]", "[object] **all_objects;" and some malloc/realloc wrappers to add, remove and get particular...
