I'm not sure I like this "Sauron's Eye" design for the turret.

That eyeball doesn't convey "electric weapon" in any way, and when it fires, that idea of having a carrier bean and electricity on top isn't obvious.

My design would be an electric field (static lightning in a cage) in the centre and a ...

Have you considered copying Ender IO Fluid Conduits instead? The basic ones could provide a nice middle ground:

When something pushes into a conduit, it first fills up that conduit's local buffer. If that buffer is full, it fills up the next conduit's buffer and so on. When that encounters an exit ...

8 Pages? Sorry, not reading all of them to see if it has been mentioned.

For the production statistics, I'd love to have the item lists for production and consumption combined into one list. I find it a pain to search through the list for the items I want to see anyway, and having to do it twice is ...

To explain the mixed reactions here:

There are two modes we use to listen to music: active and passive.

In active mode, we spend awareness following the music, predicting how it changes, being positively (or negatively) surprised about what it does, taking it in, and so on. This is how we listen ...

Wait a minute... Factorio already has some music?

I'll need to check where that has been hiding, I never noticed any.

No to the new RTS control from me.

There are good mods for controlling hordes of combat Spidertrons, tanks, and other automated vehicles. If someone wants to have RTS warfare, they can easily do that. But the vanilla Spidertron isn't something you spam hundreds onto the map. It is primarily a ...

That'll be funny for the half of the world that needs the right alt key for things like {, [, @, ], }, ~, |, ...

Nice, but ... I hate those inventory sounds.

I would also suggest a basegame setting to force them all to use one sound set (preferably the old one, although that could be modded), as doing that with a mod would mean digging through all items added by mods and modifying them one by one.

One solution for faster belts that don't move faster would be to give us multi-layer belts. Simple rule:


Inserters can only access the top layer of a multi-layer belt. (Add a flag on the prototype to allow accessing all layers for modded loaders.)
When a multi-layer belt ends and feeds into a ...

To be honest, since the big inserter change, I haven't used stack inserters at all. Even before that, I only rarely used them, but after, it just wasn't clear what advantage I would have by using them. Fast inserters were fine with vanilla, and for modded, there were faster inserters and loaders ...

I have two wishlist items:

1.) On the "explore" tab, a category "mods that have a dependency on any of your active mods and mods your active mods have an optional dependency on". This would automagically list mods that are related to what one currently has, as well as mods that harmonise with them ...

I loved all these suggestions. The new configuration screen is too much cluttered.

One thing I can add is;
- We don't need to change the wire color from the main screen. The wires that will be listened to can easily be configured from the "Select a signal" modal which you need to open ...

"Circuit slots show the values"

To be honest, I hate how this is implemented. You're mixing up configuration data and live data in the same field. This makes those conditions really hard to read. The same is true for the green background to a lesser extent.

For the combinators, the input count isn ...

Half of the replies seem to be about what people want or want not to happen in one of the 3 modes. So my suggestion:

Add a new tool to the quick action bar that brings up a mini-config menu.

Maybe they meant "Kelvin * grams"? That would be ... um ... the total heat energy in an object? Although, that measurement only works for items that are uniform in their composition...

What happens to blueprints and blueprint books? Do I need to request them too, to avoid them getting trashed by trash-unrequested?

Normally, blueprints are supposted to be in the blueprint library. At this moment, blueprints are trashed as well, but we are planning to change it as it is quite ...

Anyway, I'm wondering about the platform and it's self-constructing abilities, and how flexible that is in regards to mods - could you, for example, play as some kind of alien technovirus slowly converting the planet to a mechanical "paradise"?


That certainly would make a nice mod:

Please, add the ability to disable shimmering and change the saturation of the tint.
My eyes hurt just from looking at the picture of blue ghosts, and the shimmering demo picture looks like blurry blobs to me


Same for me! / Upvote

PLEASE allow this to be configurable, the vibrant blue ...

However, I can see monorail trams being useful on space platforms. You wouldn't really need two rails in space, just one for the train to grip onto is enough, there's no weight to worry about either and the narrower curves would help navigate the limited space and distribute a decent amount of of ...

Now, if the Space Age mod doesn't depend on the Quality mod...you could have said that 3 weeks ago and ended all the complaining instantly.
