Good idea. I think 95% of the time I disabled my exoskeleton would not have been necessary if it had acceleration built in

Please, let the labs research other enqueued technologies if there are packs missing for the first one in the queue. Make it a priority queue instead of a waiting queue. For a game that's all about automation, forcing the user to micromanage the science queue seems really weird.

Evolution itself increases steadily, with 3 things contributing to the evolution increase: time (for every minute elapsed the evolution is increases a little bit), destroy (every destroyed nest increases evolution a little bit) and pollution (every pollution absorbed by a nest used to send an ...

I've been rushing to get off-planet and at 25h in I have a basic space platform, but I feel very nervous about heading out to Vulcanus.
I've been careful with pollution and have cleared a safe radius around my base, but it's unprotected.
It's a minimal base, I've only made RGB science, no GMY, no ...

Quality is essentially unusable at the point it is unlocked IMO.

In order to use it in any meaningful way, you need a way to collect increased quality plates as well as the intermediate products. Almost every single recipe requires plates of some kind, and it isn't possible to get them until you ...

When I play with my nephew he sings a completely different tune from the one I'm hearing. It would be a small blessing if they were the same on both games, when possible. Thank you for being awesome!

Even if the music was synced, and the developers took the extra effort to compensate for the ...

It isn't. Worked just fine for me

I guess because you can already put a buffer chest next to it to request them?

Hi all, I'm currently redesigning my train system to use the new rails on a vanilla Factorio savegame I started before 2.0 came out. It seems that the signal spots I can use on two seemingly identical piece of track differs as shown in the screenshot below. Can anyone enlighten me if that is the ...

Hi
when entering too large numbers for output values of a constant combinator, it silently flows over.

on entering i get the following:
1e9: 1.000.000.000
1e10: 1.410.065.408 (shown as 1.4G, probably overflown)
1e11: 1.215.752.192 (shown as 1.2G, probably overflown)
...
The biggest number I am able ...

If you want achievements in steam, you have to play vanilla, without any mod.
Certain achievements (the speedrunning ones,...) are disabled if you disable biters or modify other map generation settings. Those rules apply with or without mods. Check the wiki for details: https://wiki.factorio.com ...

You could host a public game on steam and protect it with a password. That's how I usually play with my brother

And an anecdote on how this confusion and/or inefficiency can affect gameplay. On another scenario, I had a limited number of blue science packs, so I put them towards laser turrets and calculated that I had just enough to finish the research. I did not - the research progress bar ended up at 99 ...

I'm not talking about placing blueprints , but placing the buildings after you've already placed the blueprints in the world. This is for when you've already made blueprints, but before you've researched construction robots.

My bad, Sorry I've misunderstood you. That makes a lot of sense indeed.

you can already do that by activating the snap to grid option. After you do, a blue rectangle will appear around your BP and you can choose between relative (to start anywhere you want whilst dragging) and absolute (helps ensure that if you start placing blueprints from different positions, that ...

I think that's already taken cared of for 2.0: https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-380

I work around this by placing a (yellow) storage chest, and placing one of each item that I expect to be deconstructed in it (belts, inserters, AM's, power pole,...). All bots will dump the deconstructed items in the chest and go wait in a nearby roboport, and once you start reconstructing, both ...

Great idea. Or maybe based on a GUID or other unique identifier, generated at the start of a game (or first time it is saved) and stored into the save file?
I can imagine map exchange strings being reused...

disiclaimer: I'm not legally schooled...

... but by the looks of it, I have as well the impression that they (unknowingly?) forbid you to mod any game they sell.

I think those clauses are generic clauses you'll find in most UA's from company's that sell software, written by lawyers that have no ...

Having blue belts with 45 items/s always seemed a little strange: where a red belt has double the capacity of a yellow, a blue belt only adds 50% more. Splitting a blue belt in half results in 2 uncompressed red belts. So with that in mind I'm certainly not opposed to a new tier of belts that can do ...
