Yes.. it´s still a GAME not an automation-macro. Otherwise you could - after starting the factorio.exe do nothing, all is done by the auomation-game itself. Just watching it, like video. I'm not certain this is really an issue considering that you'd have to make a conscious decision to play that wa...

What would even be the point of a research queue in the first place if almost everything will be researched by the time you can even get it?

I tried to use the map editor a few months ago, found a ton of just little annoyances (try creating a "pool" of nothingness and see what it does to the map) and gave up. It was unintuitive, clunky, and the process of loading in to playtest was a pain for fine-tuning. Glad to see it's gett...

Every slider (whether discrete or continuous) should support mouse-over mouse wheel scroll adjustment. For discrete sliders (like in terrain settings), the tooltip should display the setting value. Continuous sliders should have reasonable increments when modified with mouse-over + wheel (not too s...

One thing that really bugged me was that I was unable to easily set a setting back to its default. If I changed pollution decay for example and didn't pay attention to its value before changing it I would never remember the default is 2 without resetting everything. I think I am getting my point ac...

If you have zero self control or want to use them, yes. But if you don't want to use them, guess what? You have the choice to not use them.

Because it´s more challanging. And so you have both - a time without bots and a time with (nerft bots - only workling together with some fabrics). I like to play multiplayer. And there is a bit a challange-feeling. So if you have bots to early, you won´t invest many time in funny belt-setups. Just ...

Yes, i don´t like them. They shoud be nerft. And not be available before 200 hours of gameplay. In Minecraft there is a creative-mode for this kind of playstyle. But i mentioned them because of the allegedly build-malus of solar-engeryfields, which are needet for bots. The fields are build in secon...

I understand, that from "trying to be realistic" point of view, distinction between high-tech and production science packs makes sense. With that said, to me as someone who researches unlimited techs I need both packs anyway. So I just go for robots, then build lines for both packs. As fo...

Gergely wrote:By the way, what is the difference between a checkbox and a switch? When should I use a check box instead of a switch?

A switch is explicitly an either/or option. Checkboxes can be grouped together. Switches probably could as well but checkboxes tends to work better when using them in that way.

- The 19.0K/s production is equivalent to 7.9 blue belts. Robos still have about twice the logistic power over belts. This can likely be further tweaked by getting the bot counts right. Yes but what is the power drain caused by the bots as well as the enormous resource sink to craft the roboports, ...

I personally had problem understanding, that the Queue button is actually a button on a first glance. Agreed, I actually had to read the FFF a second time (this time thoroughly and comparing the images) to find the Queue button since it's visually not very distinguishable from the other states. Als...

Another nice feature would be to support *markdown* . Something better would be an actually logical system. I don't understand why everyone thinks Markdown is so great when it's not terribly user-friendly. Bbcode, on the other hand, is logical and straightforward for people to understand. Most bbco...

I find it interesting that there are still several people playing the old experimental versions. Could be for a variety of reasons. A few versions ago I updated and had an error (seemed to be related to a mod I think) where my save wouldn't load because of some tile error. I forget the exact error ...

The exe file path: C:\users\user\downloads\Factorio.windows.x64.0.16.25.full.version\bin\x64\factorio.exe can't even be bothered to move it to like, C:\Games\ or something. I wouldn't say it being in downloads necessarily means it's pirated. The "Factorio.windows.x64.0.16.25.full.version"...

Thank you for finally addressing privacy. I have been dealing with log files myself and I can't help but wonder why people still feel unsafe about it. OR/AND worry about those who do not even care. I still recommend not even making this an option though. I disagree with not making it an option. The...

I snipped all the talk on buffers because while I did find it very interesting (really! I'm not being condescending here) I couldn't find a good little snippet and didn't want to quote the whole thing. However, what of the buffers inherent in train use? My railworld base performed just fine when I ...

Considering my base is about 30 roboports by 30 roboports, and anything within this base can be moved from anywhere else within this base.... This is an unbelievably massive nerf. Would actually be useful as a checkbox option inside each roboport though. Especially with modded roboports such as the...

If more PvP means you (have to) mess with SP and make it worse for people who don't want to PvP (me? Not even MP, nobody likes my style :D)… then no, it would not help, but hurt. Obviously, my personal opinion here is the absolute truth. I hate that so many devs are starting to focus on competitive...

You should just need to turn the setting on and load the game again. you will need to go add modules to all your machines again though. if this isn't the case, let me know and I'll look into it. Yup, that worked, thanks! For whatever reason it never crossed my mind to exit to the main menu before t...
