This is not a feature suggestion. I was putting down some roboports in an outpost. The outpost didn't have power. After having put some construction bots in one of the ports, they rushed out to get some trash from me and stuck around as there was no storage. Then they bounced from port to port as t...

So it doesn't actually solve the issue it was supposed to. The info can still overflow the screen, even with the weapons moved to the left. Why not actually solve the issue by making the info panel on the right scrollable if it gets too big and suddenly screen size is not an issue any more and the ...

Only reason why they were not possible to be extracted was that when a player joins with an empty blueprint library, there is a blueprint library synchronization happening which removes all the blueprints that player does not have. But why remove them? Because player does not have them in local sto...

Would it be possible to override that for modded games? Specifically, Pyanodons, and the seablock mod for it? Early game, I'm slowly producing liquid glass from quartz at a rate of 10 fluid units per 10 seconds or so, and with the underground pipe length I was using, I was experiencing 75% fluid lo...

As far as I know the reason why pipes flush when below 0.05 fluid is to prevent an incredibly tiny amount just sitting there clogging up the pipe(s). Since all fluids in the game are infinite it's a non-issue; more will come in and the cycle continues. Would it be possible to override that for modd...

Science isn't about Why. It's about Why Not!!!

This thread should probably be merged into this other thread, since they both suggest the same thing.

Came here to suggest this. You noticed, that you can do that already by using the map exchange string? I doubt this will be used by many players. But I may be wrong. Until then I think this should have low priority. I would definitely use it. Map exchange strings cannot be saved within the game. Edi...

If a belt is rotated to end in a curve, 5 items can exist on the outside lane. If the belt is then rotated back, the 5 items remain. Please see the images below. Before rotation: https://i.imgur.com/7zlp4QM.png After rotating each segment left then right then straight, right to left: https://i.imgur...

They're awful.

Signed,

A player with eye strain and a headache.

P.S. Why was this considered a wanted feature? I thought one of the goals of Factorio was player friendliness, and giving us eyestrain and headaches is not friendly.

I wonder if it will ever be possible to create a mod updater AI that reads the patch notes or something and makes changes to the mods accordingly.

+1. This is especially problematic on the Mountain Fortress map, as being near the void area when taking damage will flash the void red rapidly.

my thoughts: 1. too bombastic its a glorified wallpaper, and should be quiet and not be distracting. what's on screen should be slow. i like scene with assembly line, belts, bots, trains arriving and leaving base, but not combats (a little is ok) and spidertron moving around. showing nests and bite...

In general: Since it is impossible to make something perfect you can only try to get as close to perfect as you can (and Factorio is very close imo). But there is always room for improvement. And for things to get better you always need change. That’s the way of life. You have to change something i...

About the movment of the armor/ammo window to the left. The reasons are simple: 1) We needed more space for it now, as it can show both the player and the vehicle and there are shortcuts + alert on the right side already 2) It adds more space for the right panel tooltip info The change is slightly ...

I personally don't like screen space permanently repurposed as my reward for launching the rocket. I do like being able to know how many I've launched, but it's not info so important to me 100% of the time that it needs its own dedicated screen area. How big is your screen? This is what I see with ...

Rocket silo stats GUI should be a toggle. Both sets of players are therefore happy. I'm concerned about this alarming trend of the developers releasing seemingly random changes that noone asked for, with no options for reversion for those who preferred the old way. Rocket silo stats GUI removal. Cha...
