I second this idea, it's a great use of unused space plus a funny addition to the game!

Same here, can't connect. The map is downloaded but then it says this:

I have m4d p4int sk1llz.

Two ideas at the price of one:

1) Road signs including train crossing and where's what

2) Quickfind. Type Ctrl+F and start typing the first letters (or part) of what you're searching for. Nearby stuff will be highlighted

Sorry for bumping this but I had another good idea linked to this one:

I often check for trains to do the right thing correctly in the map with radar-covered zones. It would be great to ask in the map "Please alert me once when a train stops at this station" so I can get something like

- Train ...

Good idea. Warnings or memos linked to the system could also be great.

Definitely +1.

Especially in multiplayer when you join and find a full-blown and fully-functional base, factorio lacks objectives.

Anyway speed limit in base is completely fine. Trains in real life already do that. Giving the user a chance to customize the speed limit approaching a train stop or via train signals will make sense.

If you worked late at night, you're tired and you've been setting up a huge railway-based path ...

I second the speed limit idea. +1 by me, it could really be useful in space-constrained bases where all trains are high-speed passing

I'm kinda tired of being killed by trains in space-constrained bases.

I suppose it happened to everyone at least once: you're absent lost in your thoughts.. you cross the rail and get killed by a fast train. And lose everything: armor, weapons, artifacts..

What about having some rail crossing ...

Out of copper, base needs copper desperately

We really need that kick-when-multiple-connections-have-been-tried script. People are freezing the server without being able to connect

Great, let's hope someone of the staff will take a look at this then and decide for themselves

Yes, that is another possible use. I often have a hard time telling other players where should they head to by just looking at the map

I would love something like these memos on the map when I join an empty multiplayer server (e.g. I'm the only one playing, guys will join later) or even when I'm playing alone since it helps me track down what needs to be done next time I start playing.

Oh sorry. I guess the updater doesn't work since these are alpha versions. Thanks for pointing that out!

I created a second rocket and launched it (I was using cheats) when the game suddenly crashed. The inventory tooltip for the satellite slot, the one which says " You are supposed to put a satellite into the rocket " had been stuck for a while (i.e. the tooltip wasn't disappearing but kept being on ...
