Merry Christmas

As a spaghetti enjoyer and train enjoyer I'm pleased to see these news.
Do trains change color based on loaded cargo?

Amazing news!
I've suffered from those rail annoyances many times. It's nice to see them being addressed. New smooth curves look cool.
I, too, would like to see conditional station skipping and concrete pavement visible over railbed, please.
I can hear the hype train coming for me...

This is a very good news indeed. I'm very happy to see Earendel on the team as SE is my choice when it comes to overhaul mods.
Some time ago Factorio has pushed beyond my nostalgia and claimed place of my favourite game and now I raise a glass for bright future of Factorio 2.0.

Placing poles by dragging is what I needed in a long time. :thumb_up:

What's the syntax for using virtual signals (colors and letters) in rich text? I see that '[virtual-signal=...]' is properly highlighted but I can't manage to get the rest correct.

Rocket on website. I thank.

If we are talking about the main menu, you should make it's background [...] load a factory as a background

Yep! Put the image of the last save as background. How perfect smooth transition into game after hitting "continue" button would it be...

TL;DR Allow for more than 12 shortcuts to be showed in the shortcut bar at a time. What? Currently there is hardcoded limit to how many shortcuts can appear in the shortcut bar. I propose to either reveal that value (for modders to change) or raise the limit (to, say: 24, or dependent on screen wid...

I sign in to the team against the oil processing changes. An observation: 1. Advanced oil processing is locked behind chemical science packs. 2. Solid fuel is required to make chem. science packs. 3. With proposed changes heavy and light oil will be locked behind adv. oil processing. 4. That means p...

Belts look fantastic with randomized resources!

I'm not sure if someone was inspired by this topic or get the idea independently, but here it is: Disco Sciecne.
Just leaving message here if someone happens to search the Ideas forum (not mods) for this.

When commissioned massive construction job my stone brick supply got depleted and I noticed weird 'flickering' of negative number showing up in logistics system summary. Do construction robots reserve items even before they get loaded into provider chest or something like that? It's not game-breakin...

I used copy tool in my map view. Some of the chunks in copy area were not covered by any radar (nor visible by player). All the stuff inside non visible area did not get copied into clipboard. Expected copy tool to copy all buildings, even those not in visible area. In normal mode (not map view) it ...

Let's look at an example of science pack sushi belt I built recently. Zrzut ekranu (84).png What does it do? - It provides all science packs for the labs with every lab taking from a single belt. - It makes sure the belt is not overflown with single type of science pack, so there is space for each o...

I catch myself on reprogramming same quickbar layout every time.

So the spritepath changed I take it? I can get icons by ctrl clicking but typing doesn't work.

The syntax changed. By trial and error I ran onto the right one.
Simply type [item=solar-panel] etc.

Solid fuel is now required to create chemical SP but no recipe for it is avaliable in level 5 of Tigh spot campaign.
Mining drill recipe hasn't been disabled.

Clearly remember (first play) compilatron moved almost imidiately after I left the higlighted area but before that I spent some time waiting inside. I guess the trigger to move comp. is: TIME + PLAYER_MOVED. But the time counted from the start rather than from the point when player fulfills movement...
