[2.0.43] Any? liquid goes through fusion reactor

When modifying space platform I accidently put a Fusion Reactor cooling port near Thruster Fuel pipeline. It attached, and thruster fuel goes through both reactors to a storage tank, that was expected to store coolant.

I'm not sure is it a bug or feature.
Usually a structure, if it's not a ...

Re: Ability to craft lower quality with higher quality

This could be a nice change. For sample, currently I have to trash extra Uncommon plates, because I'm just getting too much of them, while I need mostly Rares and above.

Seeing 9+ pages of replies in this thread, I can assume that it's a really wanted feature.
But I have a feeling, that dev's ...

Default map zoom level

Problem exist since 2.0 release day

When one press a key to open map (and expect that it works exactly in 1.1) it does not works like expected. It opens map (called remove view now) in very zoomed in condition. That force a player to roll zoom out on a mouse every time, after pressing map keybind ...

Re: Do you care about infrastructure costs? Does it matter?

It depends on scale. It may worth not to add Beacons to a new iron plates production factory, since it will require hundreds of them, and twice more speed modules, so may delay building for a while. And it may appear more productive just to place more smelters.

But for base elements, like power ...

Re: Spoil time

Bigger value = longer spoil time.
Default is 1 or 2. Can be a fractional value less than 1.

Re: What exactly happens with my vanilla save when i buy the DLC

Short answer: nothing happens with save files until you try to load them.

If you want to play 1.1 save, you can just make a separate folder with Factorio 1.1

But if you want to load same save (likely megabase, right?) in 2.0.
Turn Space Age mod off. You can turn off or keep Quality and Elevated ...

Re: Anyone else find gthe default settings more attractive in Space Age?

Yes default game without mods looks better in 2.0

In 1.1 belt throughput was serious problem in mega base building. Since it is upgraded X4 by stack inserters and more by another tier of belts, problem dissolves completely.
Base game in 2.0 become more complex, so you don't need addons to turn it ...

Re: How to change import planet for resources?

When you make a request for an item on a platform, just click on a planet below (in the interface), and pick the one you need.

By default a planet, where wares are likely to be produced is set.

Can a liquid have quality?

For sample, I setup a Foundry to smelt iron ore, put a few quality modules inside.
But output is liquid. When foundry started to work it outputs normal Molten Iron. No way to get Uncommon liquid at all, correct?
Seems same for every liquid - no quality at all. The only way to sort liquids, for ...

Re: Unintended extra click when setting up recipes due to the "Quality" dropdown.

Is this extra click is not fixed yet, even with any mod?
I still wait with quality research to avoid interface troubles.

Re: Ho to open map without zooming out every time?

I posted this as bug, but Wube still disagree, ignoring the fact, that many people find this map change quite uncomfortable. No idea what else to do, to make them fix it.
As I saw modders also have no success yet in fixing map zoom level.

I have a feeling, that author of this post is a lawyer :-)
A lot of games are about exploration, and unpredictable results one can meet on a way or in the end.
Factorio actually has much more information displayed and documented, compared to many other games.

Re: Quality options for chests and trains

I want bigger volume wagons with quality. Since wagon size is quite small for now. As I remember a lot of bigger mod packs made wagon cargo bigger in 1.1, Industrial Revolution 3 for sample.

Re: Allow restricting turret coverage

Yes, in space, sometimes you want to set a turret to guard just a sector, maybe 1/4 or 1/2 of whole circle. To avoid shooting not dangerous things, to save ammo, or to shoot things that are directly on platform way, instead of wasting ammo on asteroids on sides.

I think everything is Okay with Fulgora and tech tree for now.
Just don't be lazy and explore around, before starting build.
It's not hard to find reasonably big island with enough scrap deposits.
I'm playing on a random generated map. Bigger islands often have a few scrap deposits about 200-500k ...
