Not sure if you could have used big poles instead of staions and add few more beacons instead.

Please, just make blueprints free and accessible from the start. I don't mean free construction bots and roboports, but simple blueprints should be accessible for free, stored globally (shared between savegames!) and even work without c/bots in some small range from the player. It's not challenging ...

I don't understand factorio logic, but will it really balance belts in case of different consumption? Or will it just stuck totally all the belts?

Got achievement with 102 handcrafts.
Could be less -- I just didn't care about any records. Could have skipped crafting iron pick at least, maybe something else too.

Here is the playlist.

It's kind of late, with all 0.13 changes, but here is my factory anyway. I'm kind of new in factorio, so I'm still proud of small amount of spaghetti here :) And feel free to show me where I'm wrong in my design ;) I mean if you see some big mistake there... See pictures and I'll add a link to the y...

Maybe there is hope to have colorblind option in 0.13.xx vanilla? Let's say 0.13.20+ ?
Maybe just few textures switch for the ores?

As it stands right now, I don't think the game can distinguish between a purely cosmetic mod, and a mod, if data.lua exists, it assumes it is a full mod, even if the only things it changes is animations. I suspect you're right. :( That's why I ask about it. Still, may I ask for it? Maybe it's time ...

Please, if that's possible, leave texture modpacks eligible for steam achievements!

I suppose it's total overkill (as it is with chain signals). All those redundant loops aren't useful at all, as far as I understand. In fact, they probably can be easily removed without any loss, leaving only one roundabout loop. Or, better, they really should be longer, with regular block signals. ...

You can try sandbox mode for a while (new game -> custom scenario). There you play without character (fast scrolling) and you are also granted initial chest full of items. I just tried it (two days ago). :) First - it's not the same. Second - there is not enough materials there anyway. I have to bu...

Can you add the option like "Easy start" on the "Crate new game" screen? I'd like to have like 1000 iron plates for the quick start, for example. And 1000 of belts, 100 inserters, poles, splitters and undergrounds. It's kind of boring every time and not challenging to start with ...

Lot of places really.

not sure, but won't flamethrower need oil?

Maybe we should have some defoliant in the inventory from the start. Or flamethrower with some fuel for it.

Some defoliant with placing principles like for concrete? Like, you mill some stone, coal, copper and iron ores, mix them in an assembler into some cheap "defoliant" and spread it on the earth like concrete (with brushes 10x10 preferably). Then maybe wait like few days. In these days trees...

On the last proposed station there is no space saving. There is backup track instead. It could be easily combined into an entrance track.

I suppose in this case it could be *much* better to have entrance(s) from the left and exit(s) from the right (or vice versa) without *any* intersection.

Couldn't we both though. Kinda defeats the purpose of testing anything if your argument is "double it til it works" The ratios remain the same and still comes out (percentage wise) to the same end. You see, in my eyes it's you who does "double it til it works". You just use more...

I apply this definition to our situation like this. This build - Expends time to accomplish a job with minimal raw materials & minimal space. Standard 5/6/11/10 - Expends materials (and space?) to accomplish a job with minimal time "...to accomplish a job with minimal time" ...implyin...

The essential differences in our builds are this Mine 5/6/11/10 Yours 5(assy1)/4/8/20 so we trade 5 Assy2 + 5 Assy1 for my extra setup cost + some mining/smelting for throughput. Our output is Mine 45/45/41 per minute Yours 30/30/30 per minute So we start from the point, where you have a bigger pro...
