You can use a spidertron remote to tell a spider to follow another spider, then clear the remote and the follow command will stay. (google translate) yes. I know that. But isn’t it uncomfortable? You designate units one by one and place them in your inventory or space. You tell 10 spiders to all fo...

Pretty sure with circuit wires moving to an itemless item 2.0 will do this. Circuit wires being "free" items in 2.0 makes me think they should ideally be a bit like the blueprint tools etc, where they are available from the start in new games after combinators are first researched in any ...

How you would rationalize how the machine actually improves the quality would be interesting. Maybe say it's quality testing. The items actually have the better quality, they just aren't recognized as such and the test reveals the actual quality. Sometimes the test is destructive though. Amusingly,...

Crash right at the end of an async autosave.

2 factorio processes at the time, one was zombie.

> a new machine should be introduced that takes an item of lower quality and attempts to make it higher quality if it fails, it dumps the same quality as the input out.

That completely trivialises the quality mechanics. There would be no point in doing anything else but that machine.

Isn't there a toggle in settings to make this the behaviour?

Has anyone gone and found the old signalless clocked setups yet? The ones where the order you placed the trains boosts throughput if you get it right. I only remember the one with a # setup where trains drive through the gaps between wagons of other trains. But theoretically if you remove all signa...

I don't think just implementing it would be a lot of work, all the work is tied up in the quality control (testing).

Basically the same problem an ARM Linux port has.

That's *the* difference between a block and path train system.

> I don't know if this is a lot of work to do (i imagine not? but i'm not a develeper) It would be a completely new graphics front-end. A lot of the code could probably be reused, but it would need all the expensive bits of testing (the bits that are hard to automate (checking that things render pro...

This would convert the whole train system from block-based to path-based.

Are you seriously saying that in vanilla factorio you can build, blueprint and place trees? Also, nice edit in where you quote me to completely flip what I was saying, that's not dishonest at all. No, I edited your message so it said the opposite and then said it was wrong. So I said that the state...

For this problem I actually don't think a rail signal is actually the right entity. A different entity that gives a more static right-of-way for trains on a rail would be better. One that would be honored when path finding and doesn't change by trains passing through. Let's call it a restriction-si...

Wrong. Please tell me which vanilla factorio entity (other than an engineer) heals itself without a repair pack. I want to know so I can start using them for walls. I told you already, trees. Trees are player-faction? I can blueprint and place them? Not in vanilla you can't. Wrong. Are you seriousl...
