I'm working on an improvement: the ability to upload mod-list.json and the ability to manually select which mods you're interested in, so that you can hide irrelevant mods that happen to have the same settings as the big ones.

That is going to be very helpful, thank you!

This looks pretty cool. I just dropped in my current mod settings to see. I am using IR (Industrial Revolution) and Production Monitor. I have K2 installed but not enabled. My only comment is more for mod authors than you: I can at least recognize K2 Turrets and Krastorio Translations, but one of th...

How to reset the green hooks to unread in the Tips & Tricks?

There is a console command /reset-tips. It will not disable achievements. Oh and the console display can be toggled with the / (slash) or ~ (tilde) keys.

I checked and the same applies to roboports. The tooltip states max consumption is 4.05MW, but when you place it and it starts charging, the draw is 5MW. This is much less of a concern as it only happens once when the roboport is placed, but it is still an inconsistency.

Very Cool!
Have you thought about writing up an article in a more depth for Alt-F4? I would love to read that...

Happy to see that you are listening to the marketing gurus, all it needs is a (dead) foreign prince
Well done Wube, well done indeed

Thank you for all the work you do, the incredible attention to detail, to keep the forums if not tidy at least as tidy as possible. Thank you!

I am pretty happy with my mall zone, with sectors for everything (and I do mean everything from iron plates to nuclear reactors) except science packs. How to measure a mall zone? Mine can sustain 20 PM3PM (productivity module three per minute) quite comfortably... I have a reconstruction zone, with ...

Research queue on always. Rich resources, except I turn down uranium, a little goes a long way. Turn down trees and water, I already live in a swamp thank you very much. No cliffs. No pollution - no biter attacks until I attack them, and I can still get all the achievements. I would love the ability...

I would be quite concerned about the overhead cost, in large bases there would be thousands of machines sending notifications every tick. Having a tick box to say I want this machine to send a notification would be almost as bad, they would all have to check if they should be sending notifications. ...

Vanilla does not give you access to locomotive fuel states, but there are mods that do, such as this one from klonan:

I love my artillery trains, using spidey for train defense. So satisfying when the last vestige of red is gone from the map.
The final plate of Pasta con Amarula:

Expansion overview - somehow it was easier making spaghetti with train tracks

First rocket launch:

My normal play style is very structured, neat rows, blocks squared off nice and tidy, lots of straight lines. This year I decided to do a spaghetti challenge, no straight lines, lots of unnecessary turns, everything squished together just because... Looking back, I see straight lines everywhere :D D...

I have to agree, fish are important!

My low-tech solution: drop a solar panel next to a lake, to power an inserter, which fishes fishes out of the lake and into a wooden box, which I call my cooler, to preserve my catch. Need more fish faster? Place more inserters...

Happy fishing!

Nice discussion:) Yes really good discussion... I encountered this soft deadlock the very first time I tried out the then brand-new train limits. I renamed one of my iron outposts to Iron+, one of my iron customers to Iron-, and set one train to the new route. That worked as expected, so I updated ...

Like the rest of the factory, the number of labs must grow! A red science pack takes 5 seconds to make; a good amount of early research takes 30 seconds to consume a pack, where later the research starts taking 60 seconds per pack. So one factory can support 6 to 12 labs. Of course the other packs t...
