It would be nice if the information move-to_hub was available somewhere, perhaps Factoriopedia. It would also be helpful if the concept was introduced in the tips and tricks for the space platform. Right now it is somewhat trial and error. I ran into this removing an assembler that was partly loaded ...

Thanks!
Almost every day I scan through reddit and the forums, and I am constantly amazed by how good y'all are... if there was an Olympics, the staff at Wube would be gold medalists every year. Thank you again!

Minor issue noted over on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/1rc7qmy/requester_chests_pulling_from_storage_before/
Specifically the wiki page for the requester chest says buffer chests have priority over storage chests, where other pages on logistics correctly show that storage and ...

This would be a good start.

Also, in the production statistics pane, the kills tab shows buildings 'killed' by enemies. It doesn't help with location, but it does provide a little more information for analysis and planning.

This would also be very helpful for looking at space platform designs and how survivable they are.

I could go for having two achievements, one hard and one hard core

Love it! This could be another achievement, the Why Yes I do have Gold Plated Rocket Parts in my SIlo.

I would see this as complementary to the proposed From Scratch achievements, where you don't take anything except what is in your armour grid when you drop to Gleba, Fulgora, and Vulcanus. Taking nothing means you have to do some hand crafting to bootstrap your way up. For a Really Lazy From Scratch ...

I would go for the hard core version: nothing dropped except what is in your armour grid, specifically not even bots. Having done all three planets that way, it really doesn't take that long to "rush" bots.

I see... right now filters are exclusive ALL the coal AND ONLY the coal, and you are asking for a non-exclusive filter, yes ALL the coal, but I don't care what else goes with it. That would allow a whole bunch of new designs, I like it!

I copied a design that used a deconstruction planner as the NO ...

TIL... I would rather see it on the map, but the mini map is better than nothing. Thank you!

+1 It would also be very helpful to show the coverage when you are placing a radar. No more guessing and having to move a radar once or twice before getting the coverage I want.

This made me think of the planet with all the meteor showers in Enemy Mine

It would be even nicer if the combinator displays were more useful. For example, make the icons small enough to put 4 in a row, then when all your operands are EACH, you could show EACH, operator, EACH, and implied output EACH. The operands could have a plain background if both red and green inputs ...

My solution was to track the current and previous status of the planets, and if a status is now 3, and previously was not 3, then send fuel/oxidizer for one tick, just enough to enable the platform to leave.

That looks to be common quality, you may want to consider upgrading to Epic or even Legendary

Minor issue: According to the wiki https://wiki.factorio.com/Circuit_network#Each, the virtual signal EACH can only be used on the left. Turns out you can use it on the right AND the left.

Thank you eugenekay for your expertise and Sanqui for making it happen!

Yes, forum search, those are the droids words I am looking for!

Also i've had an additional thought here. What about introducing an alternative cost for automatically switching recipes? Like an electricity cost.


Oooh like when a roboport needs to recharge after a black out? That would make for some interesting builds!
I think you can leave the suggestion ...

I do understand how it can feel frustrating to lose a productivity bonus that your machine has worked hard to gain, but I really don't think it is a punishment for being creative and learning how to use some of the cool new circuit network magic.
I see the current behaviour (losing productivity ...
