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 person...

Plus, if you are using WIndows you might not be able to use the RIght Alt button soon! They are replacing it with a new key!

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 single...

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. Al...

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 h...

... 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 c...

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. | Normal | Shift | Shift+Ctrl | ------------------+--------+-------+------------+ Add Landfill | [ ] | [ ] | ...

Kg does not exist, it's kg.

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 annoy...

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: The pl...

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 absolutely mu...

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 r...

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.

Also, when:

I love this!

So what? The "not going to happen" stuff didn't happen. The FFF explained the exact same reasoning boskid wrote back then, just in way more words.

However, I'm shocked that quality, being an additional feature, is receiving so much criticism, while breaking savegame and blueprint compatibility seems like no big deal, to the point that there are people asking for explicit incompatibility. That's because we know that that incompatibility isn't ...

Nice, I just have one tiny issue with what was presented: I find the direction arrows on the segment visualisation herd to read (especially ⬥ vs ◂/▸). I think it would be better to use ⤛ ⤜ and ↞ ↠, or ↢ ↣, or maybe just ⇽ ⇾ ⇿ or ↤ ↦ ↥ ↧. Less "blobby". ↞◇↠ (i.e. > at the base and >> at the...

Something seems to be weird with path options. When I select anything but the default "Pathfinding: Always", it doesn't stick and reverts as soon as I exit the waypoint or path. However, the behaviour always is "Pathfinding: Drive into the nearest building and become stuck there while...
