The difference between available and researched techs is very subtle - at least for me (red/green colour insensitive) - I'm not colour *blind*, and colour blind themes are usually fugly; but having something that is more strikingly different would be really nice.

e.g. feeding iron into the lab repair loader silently eats the iron, rather than it backing up like it would in the main game.
similarly copper production is easily higher than gears, and copper above the 50 target is still consumed

When the reseach page pops up automatically upon repairing the lab, basic electronics was not visible. Exiting and returning to it and it was visible. Perhaps it shouldn't pop up, sp that the mission hint can be followed, or if it does pop up the technology shjould be there to be pickable.

I'm pretty sad to hear that there is a 'right way' to have fun. For me, a fun game is one that I choose to come back to in my precious spare time, whatever the particular thing is. Chess, go. space invaders, factorio. I enjoy doing ridiculous things in factorio - 512 way CLOS blue belt balancers... ...

As well as an item to tell requester chests whether to pull from buffer chests, it would be symmetrical to also allow inserter network conditions to have an option to consider amounts in buffer chests or not: right now material in a buffer chest counts towards conditions, but if the requester chest ...

Thanks!

Yes, occurs without mods too.

I really love the ability to see the amount of a requested resource in the logistic request tooltip. It would be great if separately to showing the full logistic network contents, mousing over a requestor chest, would show the available amounts for the resources requested by the chest - like it alre...

I very much object to having 'just one way to do it' - that means that we'll end up with exactly one build that newcomers don't know, frustrated newcomers, and less interesting variations. This is precisely the 0.12 corners bugfix discussion again: in 0.12 anyone using a belt with a corner would los...

Notwithstanding the interesting discussion about whether your analysis is right, I have a suggestion for achieving parallel thread update isolation at whatever granularity you need without moving data as entities move. Given N threads that will be updating in parallel some object type T, create N sl...

Thanks, I updated the blueprint. Here is an expandable 4-combinator display. I've tweaked it slightly to let me use colours with it (use red to deliver the signal value, green to pass colour info. 0eNrVmetq4zwQhu9FsP+SXWkk+RD2T69jWYqbaLcCH4Jsly3F976Ss018kIKnIL6vFAqOR69Hz4xmxskbeSp7dTa67sjhjehjU7fk8...

Thats very very nice. I'm a little unsure of the encoding - you're left shifting everything by the digit to show + magic-constant. How is magic constant calculated?

I use the speaker to tell me when an outpost is out of ore, the only thing is right now I need to use a decider to have a no-change-needed blueprint I can just splat down. Its a small thing .

Cool, thank you!

Notice this when I was waaay out in the wilderness and needed to load an autosave after death .

The save happened while I was clearing some trees to make way for a rail line, then when I loaded the save, the bots - all of them it looked like - headed off towards my base, leaving me with no bots.

Ok, so, how does one reactivate miners via a script?

I had a map that I made a littttle too sparse on resources, so I ran game.regenerate_entity("iron-ore") to workaround that. However, all the miners that had stopped due to having no ore, which now had ore under them, did not actually start mining again until I picked them up and put them d...

So I know its been noted already, but I really don't fancy losing full items just because two of them need more than 50% repair. In vanilla thats tolerable, but do that to me in marathon and I'd be in ragequit territory! Re: the inventory use - what about just preserving the health of the items in t...

You also need to add port 61621 udp to the list for the matchmaking server.
