Re: Decider combinator: Duplicate condition
Honestly, i would rather the ability to type in a logic statement by hand. But something to make strong up conditions is definitely needed.

Re: Allow Fish Breeding on other surfaces
I will +1 this one. Especially fish in space- a space based aqua culture is even real would plausible, and the idea of having a fish farm in space is attractive. We can do other things with fluids in space, why not farming?

Re: Multiple Factorio Installs
I'm a SW developer and don't mind tweaking stuff like this, but it would sure be nice if there were an official ZIP version of factorio for mac and linux. Maybe someday.

Re: Mods shouldn't disable Steam achievements
Necroposting possibly, but I have some thoughts on this topic...
It seems disingenuous to simultaneously state that achievements mean something due to non-modded play, but allow people to do weird map things that often affect gameplay FAR more than most mods... or simply import a blueprint book ...

Re: Achievement Mode
I feel like i answered some of the why above, but…
Why no external blueprints? Because earning achievements with external blueprints doesn’t reflect your work and understanding.
Why single save? Because the existing time based achievements actually matter when you can’t save scum.

Re: Add an alert for blocked undergrounds
How would this distinguish from an underground that was placed too wide, or just a solo underground without a partner? Is this specifically only if they are blocked by lava? I feel like the display tips, and inability to create an underground by dragging already do a pretty good job of guarding ...

Achievement Mode
TL;DR
Add an "Achievement mode" which restricts certain gameplay aspects in order to make sure achievements reflect the current player's actions.
What?
Add a selection during map gen to "Enable Achievements" which would do something like the following:
* no external blueprints - start without ...

Re: Space Age is too hard
It is a valid and time tested method to learn, so i am really glad the functionality is in the game. But i dont think external blueprints should be compatible with achievements. You should need to earn achievements on your own.

Re: [0.18.8] Processing of config-path.cfg on OS X incorrectly
I can understand that analysis... but that leaves the following problem:

By default, on os x, all of that data goes to ~/Library/Application Support/factorio (which is ...

Re: Beacon on/off via circuit network
I'm definitely in favor of making beacons possible to enable/disable via circuit condition. (Either that or make them auto-shutdown when machines in their radius are idle, and that's probably a UPS problem).
Why not add such a condition to anything else? Because everything else stops consuming gobs ...

Re: Do not show no_power_warning icon when using power switch
The only real reason to shut off power with a power switch (vs turning off input belts/inserters) is beacons - which consume gobs of power, even when no machines in their area are active. Rather than mucking about with power, reconnection computations, & etc. why not just fix the idle beacon problem ...
