Re: Find your next dead train

I'd suggest multiple navigation options for this: 1. next out of fuel train. 2. next manual control train. 3. next out of path train. (Not sure if this is required, usually found during railroad construction) We were added the option to create alerts with speaker, but there's still no way to find lo...

Re: Configurable semaphore side

If train goes to the right, I want to control it with semaphore located on top of the track. (Currently it is bottom of the track.)

Configurable semaphore side

Current: semaphore specifies train direction clockwise relative to semaphore. Suggested: option to make semaphore specify train direction counter-clockwise relative to semaphore. Motivation: If you're building two-way rail junction and use right-handed driving direction, your semaphores are always o...

Trains should burn low-grade fuel first

Currently:
you can't clearly predict which type of fuel train will burn. There should be logic, but hard to deduce.

Proposed:
Train should burn lowest-grade fuel first.

Use case:
Convenient way of clearing your locomotives of old types of fuel and replacing with brand-new standard.

Re: Option to disable auto-repair by pers. roboport robots.

+1
Generally saves bots a lot. I have to manually remove all personal roboports each time I get on train. That's tedious toil.

Re: [Polls Closed] The signals

Half of base is operated based on cirquit signals. Examples: 1. Oil processing: balancing between solid fuel / oil cracking is minor example. 2. Siren when low on accumulator power. (Prevents random base power shutoffs.) Optional are fuel in steam generators. Other alerts as well. 3. Automated facto...

Train should face proper direction on one-way rails

Current state: When you place train on any rail it seem to face last direction you had it facing (more-or-less). Proposed: When you place train on one-way rail, it should face towards direction of rail traffic. By one-way rail, I mean rail that has semaphore on one side only. This explicitly specifi...

[0.16.36] Inserter putting item on splitter puts it on left

See image attached.

When putting item down.
On belt: puts to right side
On splitter: puts to left side

This feels inconsistent.

Re: [0.16.22] Inserters not picking up items from source

Thank you for showing how this can be debugged :) will use it further. Problematic part is that if I merely pick up and place inserter again, it will start working as expected. 1) I had similar issues with no tracks nearby. So this doesn't seem to be more reason. 2) shouldn't inserter behavior be d...

[0.16.22] Inserters not picking up items from source

Build 35382 (seen this in earlier 0.16 builds/versions also) Sometimes inserters just get stuck and don't pick up items from chests/factories. Have seen it multiple times already. See image attached for sample situation. Couldn't find specific logic for this. I'm not sure how to repro this. However ...

It's a little bit crude. I hate it. :)
You missed the step where you configure the hotkey for slot on middle-mouse :D

Re: steam

1) I don't get MP here
2) IMHO this game is awesome and worth buying without MP (that's what I did)
3) You want to add MODs sharing before going to steam

Re: Bot interface?

@azoundria, @kovalex:
I this case, player is to decide on how bot hadles the issue with broken buildings. The point is that bot should have interface to find out if it is broken. Game should not solve the tasks, bot should.

Re: Bot interface?

@Kovarex
I just don't know how easy it is for you to expose some interface. Plus that is just an idea I would be happy to see implemented.
