I think you meant selector combinator. either way it should go to selector combiantor

KSP2

are you referring to logistic groups?

also I recommend you use the template found here as its makes your suggestion easier to understand

are you suggesting that if you run into an obstacle (say a cliff) the game should ignore the forward/reverse input and just turn? I'm not entirely sure what your are suggesting

it may be good to use the template for clarity

Replying for visibility since I made an edit to the original post (under EDIT:)

TL;DR
Please make smart belt dragging a setting again


What ?
TLDR

it was a setting in 1.1 that allowed players to click and move their mouse anywhere they want without worrying about disconnecting the belts

EDIT: after 40 hours or so with it being forced on I will amend my suggestion ...

TL;DR
Demolisher Territory should expand to fill gaps where no building it. and should fluctuate between worms


What?
Similar to biter expansion, Demolisher worms (announced in FFF 429) should expand their territory to fill empty unclaimed land. This expansion should not be done if there are ...

TL;DR
Allow the UI opacity to be changed via the settings


What ?
Currently, all UI in the game is set to 100% opacity (completely opaque), I am suggesting a setting that will allow players to change the opacity of the windows that are in use. This would operate much like how it does in another ...

This table is finite, how does it behave if, say, we were to put 1000 modded beacons around a building ? Does it just take the last value of the table ? Or is there a way to set a function instead of a table ?


I imagine since its a lua table, any mod that increases the number of beacons that ...

My suggestions is different ,
by sidertron formation , i mean , such that a group of spidertrons move in a formation that covers the larger roboport area without overlap. like an army drill. the position of the spiderton remains the same relative to ...

This also would not require the game to be run in 64-bit (if its not already) since you should just be able to assign 2 number slots per signal


As someone who's had to do that, it's a mess.

Anything you're doing in particular that needs more than 32 bits?


The biggest thing is actually to ...

Even better, that would make this change nearly seamless and not overly complicated either

TL;DR
expand integer limit to 64-bit


What ?
Currently signals work on a 32-bit system, which means that each signal can have 2^32 possible values (-2.1G < x < 2.1G)

I propose this be expanded to a 64-bit number, which would mean that each signal would have a possible 2^64 value or (-9.2E < x ...

TL;DR
Add a button to skip mod loading and go directly to the mods tab


What ?
Directly after launching the game, there should be a button that cancels mod loading and launches Factorio directly into the mods tab

Why ?
When you launch the game and do not want to play with the massive set of ...

[...] and we would very quickly reach the incredibly low cap of 300% productivity, [...]


I laughed when I read that. Especially when I read the "incredible low". I can't tell whether you are serious or not. ^^

In the base game you will not be able to hit 300% even if you put legendary tier 3 ...
