If the goal is to be able to set a roboport to purge itself of bots, I think it would be better to directly expose this as a feature rather than through "request no item". This is mostly for discoverability.

It never occurred to me that I could purge a roboport of bots by requesting 350 bots of a ...

I feel you can use 2 different roboports to add bots in your network, one for logistic, one for construction , each with a request of 350 of their respective kind of bot, this way it's not possible for one kind of bot to nest in the wrong roboport and prevent the addition of new bots of of the ...

The first thing I tried was to set a request for Max 0 robots, and it didn't work. That would probably be the most obvious way to do it, since it mirrors how all other logistic requests work.


Yeah, the way the requests work is that defines the minimum request. Like, if you set "50 logistics ...

This would be an anti-pattern. Players shouldn't need to interact with the implementation details of the system.


Interacting with the implementation details of the system is most of the fun of Factorio in the long run...

But I thought about it some more and yeah that would be an anti-pattern ...

Currently I use Uncommon Logistics Bots to force a Roboport to be empty.
This is the same underlying idea behind the Deconstruction Planner filter for Splitter trick; it's an impossible ...

Would it be possible to add a radio button to the gui which toggles the fluid box between "Reserved" and "Shared"?
So in reserved mode, the fluid box dynamically changes size to one recipe instance, and in shared the fluid box is set to not hold any?
Or would that be too complicated?
Or have I ...

This is not a bug. Inserters can not be told to drop on far/near lanes. Only when the drop position is ambiguous can you set left/right drop positions.

I believe you have misread the post. The complaint is not about near/far lanes, it is about relative-left and relative-right lanes, precisely ...

Add the existing mechanic for filtering the inventory of vehicles to the Rocket inventory in Rocket silos to allow Low Density Structure and Rocket Fuel and Processing Units to be loaded.

What?
Change the inventory slots in the Rocket silo to be filterable, same as a tank or car or cargo ...

You missed one thing: A net positive nutrient loop using fish would allow local nutrient production on Nauvis. And right now, that’s deliberately impossible. Before release, fish breeding was done with tree seeds, allowing people to farm nutrients on Nauvis. But that was removed, and biter eggs ...

Add a productivity research for Fish Breeding.

Minor graphical quirk, bots who are using the smart bot updating mechanism (FF#421) which run out of power may visually rubberband back to their proper location after the step.

Add an optional entry of type Sprite4Way to ContainerPrototype, similar to how CombinatorPrototype has the "sprites" entry, which will override the "picture" entry if present.
I don't remember if the game already will allow rotating the collision box if the entity is non ...

I have found a mod incompatibility.

RitnLib breaks bob ore generation. Worldgen simply does not create any bob ore patches.

There doesn't seem to be anything interesting at all in the factorio log but I'll include it for completeness.

I'll go digging to see if I can find anything in that mod.

This issue is in multiplayer, and only experienced by a client. The host does not see this, and this does not occur in singleplayer. Reproduced both on a public server and my friend hosting from his game.

- What did you do?
By placing Steel Chests and Transport Belts in the manner shown in the ...

I'm considering making a mod which adds pollution to nuclear reactors and the like, and I want it to play nicely with other mods. Your mod sets the pollution modifier of thorium-fuel-cell to 5.0, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does seem odd as that's the only fuel cell that this is ...

Do you know where the Thorium Fuel Cell has the 500% pollution penalty specified? I can't seem to find it. I'm looking at making my own variant of polluting nuclear reactors, and I want it to play nicely, but, that means I have to find when and where that happens.

Is it intended for the Fluid Burning Generators to not scale their fuel consumption in the same manner as the Fluid Burning Reactors?

What I mean is, for example, the mk3 burner can use up to 6 units per second of fluid. When burning Liquid Fuel, it maxes out at 3.5MW, and burns about 1.5 units ...
