'kay, I'm startin' to mess with it.

First question (of many, many to come): How do I make the table of contents show up?

Eh, i know the poll might have been a bit to much... But I saw that inviting checkbox, and couldn't resist the temptation

As soon as I have time I'll build a structure for the page.
Is there maybe a "work in progress" template that I can add at the top?

Actually I really like the idea of "modular tools".
Any modders out there with more competence than me who want to give it a try?

I just thought we should have a wiki page dedicated to designs for various things, complete with images and a proper table of contents, with sections for each tech level. This way, new or intermediate players could get a better idea on how to properly design factories. Do we already have any such th...

Is this project dead? I've been looking for scenarios to play, and this one looked interesting. Having a 0.10 compatible version would be amazing!

Instead of having differenti tiers of pickaxes, remove the tool slot altogether and instead create a couple techs that increase the player's mining speed, for example.

I can confirm this workaround working for me.
Currently on Ubuntu 14.04 and the latest Factorio 0.10

Back on topic, I believe we need more tool variety. After all, tools are supposed to have a specific purpose and specialize for that. As someone mentioned before, how do I even cut trees with a pick? Give me an axe instead (or a chainsaw later); if we really want a pick, let's keep it for the ore an...

If it covered the whole base game I'd totally use it. Looks good, why don't you go on and finish it?

What I meant is that the miner has to be above a 3x3 patch of ore, with no clean ground underneath... This makes it so that small patches only allow for two miners at most. Another self-imposed rule is that miners must not touch each other, to further limit the output of bigger ore patches. With the...

Exactly!
I'd be fine if I could have oil coming out at 1 speed, but constant...
Also I've been playing with some "limitations": for example the miners must be placed only on the ore, so no exploiting a single ore patch with 4 miners...

2: military power: long range powerfull artillery (to kill large biter bases and/or their next evolution?) 3: intelligence: satellites (scanning device that is much faster with a much larger FOV than the radar that would work very well with your artillery) Sounds fun! I'm already seeing myself remo...

Allow me to stray quite far from the path you are walking. How about a dystopian finale? Basically at the end of the tech tree is the ultimate automatization gadget, a factory that expands itself. (maybe programmable logistics bots?) So the factory basically starts doing everything by itself, and yo...

Would be interesting if it actually made all resources really infinite, oil included...
Option maybe? or different mod altogether?

Same issue here. Currently on Ubuntu 14.04.
If it helps, I'm dual-booting windows 7 on this machine and the windows version runs fine.

Better, late-game furnaces would be very interesting. Especially if you could make an advanced electric furnace with at least 1 smelting speed that's only 2x2 in size (like stone and steel furnaces), to upgrade my smelting facilities easily without rebuilding them completely. Or an insanely fast 5x5...

First of all, this sounds like an awesome mod. However, I have a couple of suggestions to make: first of all, uranium and related equipment/machines should be pretty far in the tech tree, and not be available at the very least before modules. Also uranium ore should be really scarce, and come in tin...
