A global and persistent settings file would be great, but kept in the configuration location as specified by the player in config-path.ini rather than solely %appdata% I do like to have different settings depending on the map and mod combination I'm playing, so as well as a global preferences, a pe...

What...? You ever play Factorio? :) You ever play Factorio and use the toolbar? :) You ever play Factorio and use the toolbar, then finish your game or jump into a new game, and realize that you have to redo your settings all over again? :) If you're anything like me, this is just extra steps to yo...

My question is, why was that thread locked? I didn't see any message explaining why.

Maybe ssilk did it to stifle the competition, so that his suggestion takes the cake.

coppercoil is right, the idea is for it to look decent, and not require alt-view & combinators or multiple tile spaces to achieve simple text. This. The current solution relies on people having specific settings turned on. Personally I usually run with combinator logic turned off on alt-view, s...

You guys can say HSV is "intuitive" all you want, but I will argue that is purely subjective. I have spent more time using RGB and hex conventions to pick my colors than anything else, so to me, those two are more "intuitive". Also with RGB, you can more easily get exact values, ...

+1, I've never run into this issue before but I can see how it would be a problem. I also don't see why not.

Whta is 1.1 ETA?

It's either before or after Cyberpunk 2077

Before

So early next year? ;DD

Before 2028

No, I think he means before 2077, which is when Cyberpunk takes place. :kappa:

Man, I am SO stoked for 1.1. One thing you guys were right about is that this is just the update that polishes off 1.0. I've already worked out my station logic to be optimized for the new 1.1 train behavior as outlined in FFF #361. All we need now is a release date! I'm proud of you Wube, Factorio ...

Specifically, in your image, the inserter is holding stack inserter(s) while the cargo wagon cannot accept any more stack inserters. This. The way to fix this would be limiting the number of items for the inserter can pick up at a time to 1, however it would take forever for just one wagon to load ...

Don’t get salty my people. Factorio is about hate for trees not each other. :) Hate is bad. Trees clean my pollution. I love trees. 8-) We can talk about biters every day of the week, but when it gets down to brass tacks, trees are the REAL enemy in Factorio. Also it's not pollution. It's happy gas.

I think flying enemies would add diversity to the game, pose an interesting but manageable extra challenge for the player, and incentivize killing off islands of "biter zoos" to prevent flyer attacks. It's something I'd really love to see. But what do you guys think? Should this be a thin...

It just proves that we all want flying enemies

I suppose. But it's been paraded around before that player opinion cannot guarantee the addition of new features.

Oops.

I guess as the adage goes, "there's no such thing as an original idea". This applies here too.

In the pic, you have no place for belts and you cannot place lines of assemblers. You should google for "12 beacon" assembler setups - the most common pattern in megafactories. Above picture has space for 3 full unbraided belt lanes. That's a lot more than 12-beacon setups have. This. You...

Flying... what? Yeah. My suggestion: introduce a new enemy type, flyers that can shoot globs of acid just like the spitters. Why would we EVER want this? Right now, the game only has 3 enemy types (excluding evolution states): biters, spitters, and worms. As we know, worms are static defenses for t...

The whole abstraction thing is a neat idea on paper, but I really don't see it as being practical, and it seems out of scope for a game like Factorio anyway. That's even assuming the whole idea is compatible with the game engine, which hasn't been built for it. IMO it would create more problems than...

As I understand it, it's working as designed. You can stop a launch by circuit network as things stand in 0.15 - by controlling the inserter that places the satellite. Keep the satellite out - rocket won't launch. Sure, but this is sub-optimal. Nuclear reactor setups that prevent wasting fuel rely ...

Remember that the question is "would this make the game more fun or interesting", not "do I personally like this/think it is OP/(not) like to play this way". Finding something OP means the game would feel unbalanced. And an unbalanced game is usually less fun, so it has a lot to...

I edited my post containing the blueprints so that it's updated with the new convention.

When 1.1 drops I will do this again, so that the logic modifies the train limit instead of enabling/disabling the station. I'll also make one for fluid loading.
