The general idea (make boring mining less boring) is good. Where DDR fits into Factorio, I admittedly fail to make sense of... :3

You're just a troll... ;) He's not a troll because he's not agreeing with you - calling him that is a very, very bad way of trying to resolve a debate. Instead of being hostile to 90% of new suggestions, people need to try to work a little harder on having an open mind - or at least stop picking fi...

I've done the same thing, pumps worked well here. If you're impatient and talking about lots of water, you might want to use several.

Also, I had to pump out water from 2 different places along the same pipeline, not sure how that happened, but you might want to keep an eye out.

After Playing the game almost whole day. The game is addicting as hell. But it needs few things. 1) There should be some kind of Rail for moving goods over the Water. So, we can move goods easily rather moving it around. 2) The Splitter needs tweaks or i don't know what should i call it. Most of th...

1) Empty barrel - how do I use these. Im guessing you can fill them up with something/somehow. 2) I need to get lubricant , and the form I'm getting it is liquid form and that doesn't help me all that much, since I need (looks like) use a Assembling machine to put it into the belt/engine etc. 3) Ba...

For example, having a different button close to R like T or F rotate the item counterclockwise. I find myself tapping RRR, RRR, RRR, RRR quite often and it seems like something that could be improved relatively easily. Another suggestion: by holding down Rotate, clicking and dragging, an item could ...

This is awesome. I didn't think this was even possible with modding.

Edit: how *does* it work? I can't find any "logic"-related code in the mod.

XML is actually not a very good language. It has its uses, but JSON or Lua-style tables are arguably much more appealing, definitely less space-wastey, less verbose, not to mention they already fit in with the game engine. The main problem with the definitions now is that it's somewhat/very unclear ...

I'd like to add my support to this one, and perhaps add another idea - mine would be for a general "item flow entity" (an imagined abstract class for anything like an underground belt, a splitter, etc.) and which would just be able to process incoming items and redirect them. Obvious ideas...

I hate when suggestion subforums turn into a circlejerk about how completely perfect the status quo is, and damn anybody who has any idea that changes the game. Sigh.

You can also just create a symlink (on Windows, the utility is named MKLINK and called with "MKLINK /D name target_path"), with target_path in quotes.. I use this for a lot of games and other programs in order to make them save to dropbox.

If you don't want to discuss it, don't. I see how one might (very legitimately) consider it a relatively unimportant idea. I absolutely can not see any way in which it would harm the game. The game doesn't need solutions to every problem, but care needs to be taken when figuring out which problems a...

That forum mod someone was talking about that detects similar/duplicate titles etc. would probably help a lot. Whoever's in charge of the forum should really take a look at that.

The hack/not a hack part is an opinion , it's not an argument. This whole topic right now is on what opinion is best for the game as a whole. I'm replying why I think the current situation is valid, while you keep hammering on "BUT THIS IS MY OPINION" without anything to support it. Maybe...

It doesn't make much sense. There's no reason why you wouldn't be able to split lanes, switch lanes etc., ie. from a "common sense" point of view, these are arbitrary limitations in the game that may in fact already be on their way to being removed - we are, after all, in alpha. Complexity...

I like it. It doesn't remove depth, it adds flexibility - which is lacking in some respects.

Personally, I sort of dislike RTS and I absolutely LOATHE tower defense. The current level is tolerable, but I'd rather not have to order anything more around.
If you do choose to implement it, PLEASE make it optional as a parallel to the current gameplay?

I agree that "complaining" about a low price seems like an odd way of putting it. However, another 5€ is still reasonable. Another increase may be reasonable in the future. Even so, prices shouldn't really be hiked up if it's not necessary. If the devs have bills to pay and need the additi...

That already exists.

By "flow", I mean switching lanes and so on.
I don't suppose there's any documentation?
