It would be nice if the formula value was lazily evaluated — first time the value is calculated the formula is evaluated and and it's value remembered. Any time the formula (or channel) changes, the formula is re-evaluated. This would make them both performant and user-friendly. Something like in E...

IMO this makes LTN and Cybersyn almost irrelevant. No, it dosn`t. Train control is still flow-based, not request-based (like logistic drone network). [...] It is much better then 1.1 but still not sufficiently good. I agree with main.psyhos, LTN Cybersyn and other train scheduling systems send trai...

[...]I admit that some of my issues are because I want to figure stuff out myself. It's a big part of the fun for me so[...] [...]max out exoskeletons. WHAT!!!!!!

About the drama on Weight and the different inventories: Thrust_capacity.jpg Are there even ANY in existence games that have both a slot and weight based inventory system. How does that work? Have you played X-COM (or any variation like the Open Source UFO:AI)? You not only need to care about total ...

I reduced the biters evolution but I think I messed that up still as I'm fending off around 5k biters/spitters per 10 minutes at the moment and can't really wipe out alien bases particularly easy, and the pollution I'm producing is causing issues. I don't know how much evolution you got at 80h, but...

I mean, you refuse to put in a flare stack, incinerator, or etcetera to get rid of things you don't want on planets but you allow us to dump things overboard for space platforms? What happened to your claim of not wanting to trivialize disposal of excess items? Because this does just that. I agree....

I like to use blueprints in large swaths at a time to plan ahead & make expansion easier. The problem is, as I reach mid/late game, this playstyle largely bars me from being able to use automated construction, as I have no control over which blueprints I actually want built, and those I don't ....

but what's that white rectangle in map view in southwest part, following the rails? I wonder about the strange white T in the blueprint Are you talking about the train ramps/briges ? that's all i can see :D I was not sure if it was ramps/bridges here White_rectangle_in_map_view.jpg but maybe the ra...

I love to work in remote. :-D And I am pleased with all the other teasers I like the new flashing alert for ore depleted under miners, but what's that white rectangle in map view in southwest part, following the rails? I wonder about the strange white T in the blueprint, as well as the 2 new buttons...

Is anyone post something? :roll: First of all: An impressive publication for the attention to detail being so extensive. Regarding the designs, I would like to say that in general I like it, although I like some things more, and others things less. Among the things I like the most, that you can see...

And also, does the device have the proper input capabilities to actually be playable, instead of just being a non-interactive "game" that can run but not played? A Pen with a single button can be used as a mouse. Several games like Factorio are not easy to play without a keyboard (a virtu...

I am not against the idea of a way to "magically" ride excess of anything in vanilla. Said that, I would like to give my opinion on some ideas here discussed. With respect, even with that overhaul it's still possible to have too much of one resource and plenty of the others. I had that pro...

Ok, sure, they could do that. Now they need to manually assign this property for everything in the game and DLC that qualifies. But for what gain? What value does this bring? Fun, lots of fun! ;) I like to use it specially with Pyanodon's loose materials that stack on high amounts, some organics (M...

2B: As in real life, loose materials are those like coal, iron ore, gears, screws... You misunderstand. Internally, ore is no different from locomotives (as items). There is no concept of size or weight, so how do you differentiate? Same way as you can differentiate items that require an energy sou...

As we can’t walk on the bridges what happens if for example a train runs out of fuel on elevated tracks over water?

Not sure if you could solve it by spidertron, jetpack or something similar, but you could drive a locomotive by hand (to ignore signals) to replenish fuel...

3.) Can you make train stops evelated, even though you can't (un)load anything? F.e. for parking purposes

Have you ever tried to "park" trains by controlling signals'? (combinators, wires...)

The most annoying/grindy part of Factorio for me has always been the act of plopping miners to a new resource field as old ones dry out. Besides the excelent answer from Tertius, check this possibilities: 1- At game start, adjust map settings for maximum Richness (600%) for each ore type. 2- If tha...

I don't want to start from scratch however and I would like to continue expanding my base. [...] Any mods you'd recommend for me? There are so many mods... and so many playing styles... it is hard to recommend anything without more knowledge of your preferences, but adding mods to an existing save ...

the issue isn't so much transport, I tend to centralize to the extreme... and that leads me to have to reorganize the base a lot. Sorry, I did not expect that, but something about deliverying plastic on a "main bus". It is true, you centralize to the extreme. It is ok, as long as you get ...

plastic and steel in particular. sure copper is annoying too but that's such an easier problem to solve.

Have you ever tried to distribute petroleum gas and coal instead of plastic bars, then produce plastics locally where needed?
