Just to add a little more detail to previous posts, it would help to add chain signals like this: This will separate the 2 vertical train lines.

Thanks for showing this, however-
I fail to see how that relates to my proposal in any way: the cargo hatch would have a "progress bar" during which it is pulling the item from the main landing pad, and in that time you ...

I'm still on my first run of Space Age expansion (having played V1 from 0.14), and Gleba annoyed me because it doesn't support experimentation. It's too easy to have a bunch of products spoil and have to go out harvesting again. I didn't want to, but Gleba was the only planet that I had to enter ...

Keep in mind that the light oil and petroleum tanks will fill up eventually and block the whole production ... again. Then you'll need to investigate cracking as mentioned by Tertius and Kyralessa. Could be worth setting up 4 train stations each with a fluid wagon train to bring all four products ...

As I guess you have one storage tank per fluid only, and it can contain maximum of 25k fluid, those conditions will never be true.


This is what I was going to suggest. Those bars appear to be fully green, but in reality they're not, because with a single tank, your contents value will never ...

Most production issues can be resolved by building more/bigger.

Need more iron plates? Build more iron smelters.
Need more iron ore for the smelters? Find another iron ore patch and mine it.

1 lane of belts insufficient to service production? Add another lane.

I deliberately didn't include an ...

Something similar happens when trying to "mine" bots when over an ore patch - it's impossible to pick up the bots, but instead the player attempts to dig up the ore.

Made an account just to necro this post. Why doesn't this have more attention? Ive grown away from minecraft for this game, but i still yearn for Minecraft's NEI mod, forward and backward recipes for every item. Even if you had to research it, it seems like an amazing idea. Altho i feel the point ...

Also, carrying your inventory seems like a very strange request. The game gives you a button to void your inventory. It gives you the ability to launch that inventory to a platform. It gives you the ability to carry that inventory to other planets. And once you drop down, it gives you the ability ...

TL;DR
When carrying differing qualities of the same ammo, when one quality level runs out, auto-load with the next best quality.


What?
So I went out manually hunting biters. I had say, half a stack of rare bullets, a couple of stacks of uncommon and a whole lot of common. The half-stack of ...

You can check the cache-prototype-data setting in the config.ini file. Instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/pn4o69/start_factorio_faster_maybe/

If you're on the Beta version, with versions being released each week, this setting won't help a lot because the sprites, etc ...

If you mouse over the diamond, it has this information already. But I do agree that a table would be a more accessible way to present the information.


That was so non-obvious to me. The diamond doesn't link to any quality icons in any way, and to me doesn't even suggest hoverable. It would ...

TL;DR
In the Factoriopedia, for each craftable item, add the benefits that quality will provide.


What?
Provide a simple table to tell me why I want to make this item of a higher quality. I've played a lot, but have no idea what items I want to make into higher quality. For example, I have no ...

Use Ctrl-Shift-click to "force build".

Even distribution is a bit cheaty when it comes to putting ammo in turrets. Spam the turrets down, press Ctrl-C (or whatever) and they are instantly filled. The other elements - like actually distributing evenly - would be a very well addition.

Or, before leaving, build a roboport network with sufficient logistics capability to repair/rebuild...

Is it a recipe with a fluid, that can't be made in an AM1?

Please stop auto-sorting Constant Combinator ALT view. Why can you display 38 but 32 gets "sorted" to 23?

Also, please stop Roboport contents from sorting right AFTER you take out one item. When you open the roboport I'm sure would be unnoticed and fine, though I dont understand the advantage of ...

I was setting some map pins last night, just using the tick/check symbol, and *every* *time* I had an extra click because of quality - and ticks don't even have quality!

I'm finding the current pin method very click-y (create pin, select icon, confirm quality, add description, confirm, place). Does ...
