Great work, fantastic!

... Also, this would prevent the assembling machines from finishing an entire stack before halting production. Care to elaborate? I can't see a reason this wouldn't at least assemble one product and then wait for more room. The whole idea behind this is to enable the factories to directly feed the ...

Blasphemy!

Lol, having a 1 wide gap between every 15 or so woudn't be that bad. Would it?

I believe it they would be way too easy to obtain though, farming would be quite easy.

I think you pretty much answered your own question. Also, this would prevent the assembling machines from finishing an entire stack before halting production.

Great write-up, much more detailed (and general) than mine :-) Thank you! :) •If one or more of the output belts are filled with items so that inserters can not drop items on them, the entire contraption will take a coffee break. To solve this (...) I'd just feed them back to the input belt for red...

Way to preserve the building damage when these are items and use the same progress bar as with mining axe etc. The question is, should two turrets with 1/3 hp and 1/3 hp merge into one 2/3 (this is the way pick axes work, or should they stay separated?[/list] I think they should stay separated, but...

At the moment the Logistic Robots in Factorio are conceptually similar to the Airplanes in the OpenTTD. You setup the chests, spawn the robots and they go and transport the items between the chests. We were / are afraid that this is imbalanced already. However it is accessible only in the later sta...

Exactly my thought!

Many congratulations, very well deserved!

That's brilliant!

The memory cell , one of the basic foundations of many clever contraptions. Let's have a look at it! Many players have probably already "invented" this, but for those who didn't, here's a how-to and why. And for those who already know this, I encourage you to post what you have done with i...

For balance reasons I think it should not be possible to transport items, only the player.
And it should be expensive. Really expensive. Performing a teleport should not only consume loads of electricity, but also some expensive materials, eg: alien artifacts.

Nice work!

€400 to go and 4 days left. Time to bring out the cake!

While I do like the idea, at the same time I don't. I fear it would make the game "too easy". Part of the charm is to manage stuff like this, in my opinion.
I'd say let's just keep our nifty UFO's and move on!

I read elsewhere in the forum that the devs plan to include a jetpack, that would solve it!

I find that using chests in my factory workflow only leads to problems of overstocking and siphoning resources from the wrong sides. I'm only building loops without chests now and I'm only having problems when the supply of lesser materials slows down but it rarely if ever comes to a complete halt....

I like the idea!
It allows the player to kinda "spec" in a direction, without limiting them like a player class would. I'd love to see this implemented.

I agree with zlosynus.
It would be like playing an FPS game with aim assist. Kills the satisfaction.
