Using PulseAudio.

Also, when there is no audio, closing Factorio results in freezing for a minute or so (this also happens when switching the preferred output device in the sound settings).


You say you're using PulseAudio, do you mean you're using it on your desktop? Is it possible for ...

Same here except with single player. This happened twice to me in 2.0.7, once when switching back to my computer with a KVM and USB switcher, and another upon starting up Factorio. I was unable to intentionally reproduce them, and all other times with switching or starting up, audio worked fine. Now ...

That doesn't sound much different than the status quo, except switching back becomes more automatic, and I don't want to bog down this suggestion with another hotkey. Though maybe it could be a behavioral difference of the same hotkey controlled by a setting.

Well, as was mentioned by Tertius, typically your quickbars are organized by function/purpose and so typically if you need one thing out of it, then you'll often end up needing others.

That said, even if you don't, that proposal means that instead of remembering which of the 10 quickbars you need ...

Presently you press [SHIFT] + # for the quickbar, then # for the slot, then [SHIFT] + previous_# for the quickbar you were previously on.

I'm suggesting press [modifier], quickbar#, slot# to select the slot on a different quickbar without leaving your current one (and thus without having to ...

Yes, using a modifier key or a key as a modifier was in my proposal, so using [SHIFT] would work.

Having a one-shot item selector is beneficial for when you want to get just that one item in a different quickbar than you're mainly using. Think the occasional big electric pole you need to place down ...

TL;DR
A keyboard shortcut to allow selecting an item across any of the ten hotbars by (row,column).

What?
I suggest having a configurable keyboard shortcut "chord key" to allow choosing a hotbar number (row) followed by the index into that row (column) in order to select an item. For example ...

TL;DR
When editing a blueprint, it would be nice to be able to de-select components in a region, or re-add them in a region

What?
Presently, when editing a blueprint, you can de-select components by right-clicking on them. You can re-add them by left-clicking on their ghosts. You can de-select ...

So something like this?

I'd always thought that iconography could be added for logistic chests to help both colorblind individuals as well as just to better communicate what they do. I've attached an example of something that has been kicking inside my head for a while.

The previous FFF had a screenshot showing planet-specific pressures and magnetic fields. No temperature, but it seems close to something weather related.

So what happens with electric power pole placements and ghosts? Presently, you get a preview of the coverage of a power pole via a blue-filled border. But if the ghosts are also blue, it might be difficult to see the power pole coverage amidst other things, especially with tiles.

Maybe it was; still on the far side of the keyboard though.

I didn't consider the relationship between copy/cut/paste shortcuts.
... Perhaps it can be down to individual actions, whether they act as a finalizing action. I can imagine a checkbox next to every keyboard shortcut option that causes it to terminate further keyboard shortcuts that share a modifier ...

TL;DR
The modifier keys can be used as keyboard shortcuts but also can be used for other actions, and sometimes they conflict. This is a suggestion for resolving some of those conflicts.


What ?
The explanation might do better with an example. With a US keyboard layout, my right-[CTRL] key is ...

I have my own observations to add to this:

When you have exactly the right materials to make a lamp (two iron plates and three copper plates) and nothing extra (so no copper cables), you are unable to hand-craft a lamp. It cites that you do not have enough ingredients. If you craft the electronic ...

Thanks; I didn't see that in my search. I'll append my observations to it.
