Fast / smart robots won't fix the issue. You will still have random items appearing in the Storage Chests and you won't be able to put them back where they belong without messing with your logistic network. What do you mean random items? Generally a central storage means something like a 10x10 grid...

"Mod info is not baked into savefile" What does this mean? What mods you save with is always stored. It doesn't matter if the mod gives you all achievments on load and infinite infinity chests or if it does nothing at all except having a name and being installed. If you reload a save with...

This will not be an issue in 2.0 when we can make robot requests to roboports. It's fine that they will carry items all the way to the central storage, but the important bit is that they arrive to the pickup location fast every time they are needed.

Currently when your mod setup is different from the mods you used when saving some game, it will normally ask if you want to sync the mods with the save. But there is a less talked about case when it is not asked; when you already have everything enabled that the save had PLUS some new mods. I had a...

Some time ago I was thinking about how to enumerate all non-zero signals in a circuit. I thought that I didn’t have enough knowledge about combinators, but it turned out that this is now almost impossible. But at least it will be like this until version 2.0 Not sure i understand what you mean by en...

I'm not too excited about Ctrl+Shift keybind for the super-forced blueprint placing. Why would i still need the regular forced mode over it? I will just change Shift modifier to super forced and unbind the forced one? Even if it potentially removes things out of the way that still sounds much more p...

Might have missed it in this thread, but at the end of the post you mentioned the differences between Space Platforms and Space Ships from the Space Exploration mod. How / are these two things compatible? Will SE continue to work with the expansion or will it be a 2.0 but not expansion thing? Very ...

Something they yet didn't show us is how 2 or more platforms dock with each other. If they do act as trains i assume it's possible. You would likely have 1 platform in Nauvis orbit without engines acting as a base. The new rocket silo UI wasn't shown but i assume it now gets a platform destination f...

I'm hoping the expansion would also address those people who love circuits 8-) The old lamps are old, not very clear when it comes to making graphs, displays and the likes. With mods i can have other end of the spectrum like this: (Mod: Schall Lamp contrast) lamps.png They are floor lamps so you can...

I really like FFFs regardless of the impact on the gameplay. Please keep posting! So mod Power Grid Comb to stay, hope it won't be broken due to these internal changes. You cannot break something that is already broken :P I had to uninstall Power Grid Comb after unfortunately seeing it's really not...

Very nice changes ! The new toolbar icons look so tiny though I hope they will get bigger in the release

I noticed the same thing. They might have been a bit too small in 1.0 still.

I don't see how his why section invalidates what he suggests. I think it would be interesting to have the tier 1-3 to be removed in favor of quality, if quality is to be introduced. I'd go as far as to say that the yellow-blue-green inserter progression and the assembly machines might go as well. I...

It's gold commenting on something with "you don't understand" without understanding, what has been said. There's nothing to misunderstand, read his "Why" section. If i clarify, i haven't read any "rational" argument to be dissatisfied with the quality feature. The whol...

You briefly mentioned the problem of manual control when going through complex junctions. How would manual train control be implemented in the final graphic in your post, where one rail splits into five parallel tracks? I think it would be pretty difficult to manually select the correct line from t...

No doubt it's functional, but boy does it look a bit silly having the signal on top of the rail. I personally wouldn't opt in to using this specific mod because I know that would bother me. However, I expect this mod and the interest in having such mods will grow substantially with this coming upda...

https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/blog-sync/fff-377-new-sbends.png For this image, and perhaps a point I missed, will we be able to also signal in-between these gaps now? As much as the image is a dream come true, without signaling, this specific example won't add too much value to the new system unf...

I really would like to know if it is possible to have a switch between 45° Curve and 22,5° curve system? I have a big 6x6 junction system and would like to know how mutch work it take to rework everything https://pastebin.com/rpPkhNkh Greetings Blacky Factorio users prefer https://factoriobin.com/ ...

This is fundamentally the same as “Color the last train wagon...” Some may be colorblind though, but i would still prefer to seeing numbers. But also very often i'd need to see the preview in front of the signal in addition to behind. That could maybe done by holding some modifier key if it's too c...

So it has been a week, maybe now you have read more about the topic to understand how it works? Because this topic is meaningless and wrong in so many ways. I guess the biggest confusion with some people is that they think they start seeing quality items everywhere in their factory from smelting to ...

https://imgur.com/a/4TEh7Md Is it just me, or should there be a place for a railway signal here? Yes the magenta rail should be cut with a signal, but the entire thing is invalid seeing the middle rail going right and left - colliding in the middle. Just showing the new debug layout. I'm also wonde...
