Re: Friday Facts #224 - Bots versus belts

I wonder if you could make it so that bots would have to maneuver around each other to avoid overlapping, like with biters/players. a means of nerfing them in a way so that "Just adding more bots" couldn't be the answer.

Just make sure you guys don't forget to update some of the icons to match the in game entities (specifically, the tech and achievement icons involving trains still use the old train model)

Re: Flamethrower ammo setup - its own refinery

Not exactly "high performance". Ammo needs high performance. And a slow ass fab isnt exactly this. What does it produce for a 0,1/s pumpjack? Well, it's one refinement of oil every 100 seconds, giving 3 light/heavy oil and 4 petrol each time. so .03 L/H, and .04 P or .02 solid fuel per se...

Re: Lego Diesel Locomotive! (Motor + LED)

After seeing this, its clear that there really needs to be LEGO Factorio sets, that would just be awesome!

I could picture a few different scenarios, such as a roboport or a small assembly line/oil refinery with pipe bits. or even biters out of small bits and their nests.
I NEED IT! :o

My idea is that you would see locked recipes if the research is available. With your accumulator example, it would appear with the "locked" icon once the prerequisite researches are unlocked, and mousing over it would say "Required research: electric energy accumulators " with a ...
