I'll be honest, I really didn't expect this to blow up in the way it did and your discussion with each other is interesting. On the one hand, it could be setup where each wall segment needs a power pole covering it and each have their own drain (like inserters; and yes, I'm aware that you could pote...

As much as I like the current wall sprite and would, I can't help but feel that it should have some way to make improvements on it with the technologies available to our character. As such, I was thinking of next tier walls, possible recipes for them Tier 2: Steel Reinforced Wall Recipe: 5 Wall + 2 ...

I've noticed a pretty big issue with both the logistic and construction robots when you have a really big network of roboports. No matter the distance they have to cross, they will always try to go straight for their target without regard to their battery charge and, when their battery depletes, the...

I had a lot of fun messing around with it xD I can make it. I CAN MAKE IT! ... I can't make it... https://scontent-gig2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/p180x540/117637039_10219859918260732_4078909110619355082_o.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=07e735&_nc_eui2=AeEdoQHPAzsESftcBEu38be8UxvoFLY65bFTG-gUtjrlsanoc...

I finally made my first Spidertron and was having a LOT of fun and laughing just messing around with it, so I had a funny idea and decided to make a little video to celebrate with it and posted it to YouTube xD Hope you guys like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZyuPPisloE https://streamable.com...

Why should it be limited? It makes no sense. :) and only 50 tiles? Two wires with big poles? Come on... :) Realism and immersion. 50 tiles is only the small and weak power-output radio while the high power-output one is at least 3 times as strong. Those were just some arbitrary values I set as exam...

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Life happened. I actually read and am extremely thankful for all your replies in all my posts so far and will try to reply to all of them in due time, but I felt I should reply to this one first and even used Gimp to make a few image examples this time, as a way to...

There are already some mods which implement electric trains. No link, surely you’ll find em. I have only been playing whole vanilla game with not even texture mods, as it halts the possibility of receiving steam achievements, as I am sure a lot of new players will for a long time... I understand th...

Its a bit over enngineered, but that part of the coded Logistic network would be fun to play with. Thank you! ^^ I did over-engineered it quite a bit, but I always try to get my suggestions as complete as I can get as I believe its easier to simplify aomething, cutting out that which is not needed,...

Several no's for this suggestion in the past. Automate instead of hand craft. I understand that, yet, handcrafting is indeed part of the game and before you can automate, you handcraft a lot. Sometimes you can give preference to automate bigger and more important things while handcrafting that whic...

Gameplay-wise, using mostly robots is not targeted for Factorio. There are a lot discusion about it, and my opinion is also, that the real fun comes, when using all types of transport. Strongly recommened. There are mods, that use the power grid for loading power armor or for trains (and I gues som...

Another possibility to reduce processing power consumption would be to make the energy grid check when the drones come in and out of it instead of the opposite. Whenever a drone comes into the energy grid, it adds a status to that drone which gives it permanent full battery and converts its energy u...

Wireless energy transmission: means, that every bot/vehicle etc. needs to check when moving, if it is in range of electric network every tick. Without offense: No way to do this. :) I miss also the why. How does this increase gameplay value? I didn't know it could take that much processing power =/...

This won't work tmk. Is the same as procedural maps, or loading maps side by side but connected. Factorio depends on real time updates, this would just crash the game by doubling, or tripling even the resources. The only way I could think ld it working is if it stripped away most of the update chec...
