Items should have volume and mass

Just pointing out this bit with... "No, just no!" They're already adding it to Empyrion which was a terrible idea.

This should be a simple idea, currently the area where you can drop blueprints is tightly fit around small section of the book where existing blueprints are. I don't see a reason why the whole area shouldn't allow blueprint dropping. Sometimes it's actually tricky to find those few pixels where you ...

So i'll do a situation report this once. I decided to use the new GUI graphics (slightly edited) while at it and i don't have complaints about the inventory part :D As you may see i still have to redo the recipe UI (because they share same layout and that's hardcoded!). But you can compare the new a...

So this works: local style = data.raw["gui-style"].default --style.default.slot_button.padding = 0 style.slot_table.horizontal_spacing = 0 style.slot_table.vertical_spacing = 0 The padding wasn't necessary. Now just to add the visual grid back... This for starters was not a smart idea: :oo...

I would add 1 pixel transparent border to the slot graphics itself so it would look exactly the same, in theory. Grid would still be there just not act as "void zone". And i was applying the code in data-final-fixes.lua like so: local style = data.raw["gui-style"].default style.s...

inventoryGrid.png Inventory has 2 pixels wide grid. It makes it easy to misclick the grid instead of item slot and then get confused and frustrated on why click didn't work, either when dropping or picking an item stack. Quickbar is already nice and compact with 0 padding, please let us have this f...

Also, petroleum gas is technically a gas, so using it for flamethrowers doesn't seem intuitive....

You can use crude oil in flamethrowers.

I would be ok with the oil change. There's also one compromise i could think of that Basic Oil Processing would output light oil as well as petroleum. It would better prepare for the transition to advanced oil and let you use the right oil for solid fuel. Edit: Also if chemical plants were allowed 4...

1) Option to not remove existing requests when pasting over new recipes. I frequently use requester chests that serve different producers, think of a mall type use. 1 requester chest between 2 assemblers, and each assembler with different recipe. 2) Pasting a recipe with only 1 item request. This op...

I feel like the new beams look off - specifically the way they light up the pixels underneath them. Particularly visible in this area: https://i.imgur.com/UhPCy5J.png It doesn't make sense for the ground features to be so distinct without the surrounding areas also being illuminated. I feel like th...

I wasn't asking tiny windows, there is a good middleground between tiny and gigantic. One where you can actually still see the gameworld behind the UI. And from gameplay point of view, it is easier to play when you don't have to move cursor around so much. Scrollwheel is handy. They could have the m...

Well, inventory window in current game expands WAY TOO MUCH until it shows scrollbars. Anyone who plays Bob's mods and few others can tell how massive it becomes. In general small and compact style is the way i like it the most, just not scaled.

Logs and screen:

I'm using a 1920x1080 desktop monitor and so far used to the Auto (100%) scaling. But it has only been 100% when i used maximized window. When i resize the window even just a couple pixels smaller in width or height, the auto-scaling goes to 75%. Icons go blurry and bad with that. The workaround was...

What do you mean by heavily favor to solid fuel? 42beacon.png I only counted energy cost of 8 beacons, but it appears there are 42. The speed bonus of the all 42 was already count by kirkmcdonald, so that is 34 additional beacons, which means +16.32 MW. We'll replace all number 70.04 MW with 86.36 ...

So going by kirk's calculation 4.62 rocket fuels means that we first have 33 solid fuel. I'll deal with that math later because it's same with both, but the assembling into rocket fuel means: Energy cost of 66.2 MW + 8 beacons = 70.04 MW. How much energy is in rocket fuels: 4.62 * 100 MJ = 462 MJ 33...

Does "central rails" mean something specific? It's hard to imagine what the mod does. Puts some rails down assume, in what shape and density, how far from the spawn, does it have signals, crossings, stations, anything else? The description is void and i don't have time to test mods that se...

I'd like further discussions to go at merged mod page:

This took me all day... but i am pleased with the result

I tried to use your mod, but I don't get anything showing up in game. No recipes, no errors, no crashes, no increase in stack size to the basic ores, nothing. This mod should have a research that will unlock the recipes. It should give some kind of warning if it has a dependency that doesn't exist ...

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/omnimatter_compression I've played with it a couple times. There's even a planner tool to convert ore fields directly into compressed ores so miners will output them. Compressed assemblers etc. This is currently the most comprehensive one, but it might have too much stu...
