Yeah, but that doesnt allow me to put ore patches on the fly while playing.

The closest thing that does what I want is creative mode, but not exactly.

So, I guess I will have to stick with it.

Yes, its possible to do it via console, but doing it several times is annoying and slow, also very hard and innacuarate to delete already placed patches, so I'm looking for a mod that does this with a friendly interface.

I need a mod that can do the following: - Let me easily spawn a square shaped resource patch - Let me erase a resource patch - (Optional): At world gen, it doesn't generate any resource patches Another idea would be: Lets you craft a miner that already has a resource patch beneath it, one for each t...

You mean make the biter the same toughness as before? You know that I've played many many maps and I've never lost a single game. I mean if that's the kind of game you want, maybe the developers should add difficulty levels, like in Civizilation. There's the Chieftain, Warlord, Prince, Deity, etc. ...

I'm looking for a mod to place or delete any type of resource (iron, cooper, stone, coal, oil or uranium) without having to use the console.

thanks and sorry if this already on the portal (looked for it but didnt find)

I decided to let a friend play the campaign without helping him to see his reaction (he is 23 years old and is used to more modern games) here is the result: 1) It was a disaster 2) The first part had the following issues a) Basic mechanics not explained - Friend didn’t know how to open the inventor...

I know, but I have 350 hours of gameplay and just recently discovered that.

What about new players? how are they suposed to know?

Q makes sense only to experienced players of factorio.

I have a lot of frustration while trying to do some thing in factorio: 1) I have an item in my hand but I dont want to place it. - If I left click I place it - If I right click I will try to mine ore or nothing will happen - If I press escape the option menu comes up, and when returning to the game ...

*edit: In 17.0.3 I can no longer reproduce this crash. thx devs! :D The game crashed while I was on the blueprint interface. I was "holding" a blueprint in my hand I accidentaly right clicked in the left big square of the interface. This crashed the game. How to reproduce the crash: 1) Loa...

Seems a bit steep for what would be a brand new player. The difficulty is based on pollution, so if your factory was "big" and you did not produce many bullets (as a % of your total production), then you will fail. New players do not produce as much pollution as a vet. I will be tweaking ...

I agree with the OP suggestions. Although I'm an experienced player, I find the tutorial confusing and hard. I also made a friend that has neved played factorio play the campaing without helping him and it was a disaster. I think there should be an even more basic tutorial prior to the first one, ex...

press "Q" (which doesnt make much sense). Why doesn't Q make sense? (I am asking for interesting feedback to give to campaign guys) Using Q to exit a menu or any interface makes no sense because I don't use Q for that function in any other program or game. Escape in the other hand is much...

Although I have not unlocked shortcuts like ctr+c or ctr+x on the panel next to the toolbar I still can use those command with the corresponding shortcut keys. But what is most annoying is the fact that if I press for example ctr+c a cursor appears to copy a new area, but If I don't want to do it I ...

I just wanted to post a huge thank you to the developers.

The new belts look great, I really apreciate all the effort done.

I love this game

Bravo!!!!!

I think the game is complex enough (specially for new players) to be forced to do huge worarounds that revolves around glitches or bugs, or unintuitive use of other elements (like splitters) in order to compress a belt.

I think is a step in the right direction.

I have playerd around 280 hours of factorio and I have never used trains. All my bases have used belts or belt bus mainly, with the ocasional bot setup. I have never built a base with more than 1 rocket silo. I have had a lot of fun with the game and of course I feel that I have a lot to do with it....

Please do not touch bots I never use bots because I like belts. But I think bots should not be removed from the game, because some people prefer them. Instead just make belts better My suggestions for belt improvments are as follow: 1) Allow inserters to naturally compress belts 2) Allow side loadin...

So I've spent the last few days working on belt based layouts. I'm not having any difficulty in getting a compressed belt with a splitter. In most cases I've been able to divert an output belt after it is about half full, tunnel under some inserters then merge it back into another output belt. I ha...

I totally agree. Having a "diverter" would be awesome. And yes, inserters should compress the belts on their own.

See?

Having to put those complicated workarounds is not "skill", it's just an annoyance.

Sideloading should work automatically, and inserters should compress the belt by themselves.
