way to necro a post without adding to the discussion... Since it's up here now though how about a pump that produces 30 liquid for free (unpowered) which is enough to start steam engines without being a hassle and then electricity turns that up to the full 1200 such mechanic doesn't make sense. unl...

and there I was clearing swathes of forest oops XD 1300 hours into the game I still just see them as an obstacle for a good factory XD

Hey I'm not saying it's THE idea and we HAVE to implement it that way, I just thought I'd add a new thought to the mix that hadn't been in three and a half pages of discussion. I had a one sentence idea and your criticism was wholy of the entire thread, that powering off shore pumps isn't necessary,...

I don't see why you'd necessarily want to keep trees but okay, if you're trying to remove rail rather than blacklisting trees why not whitelist your rails, signals, etc, it'd be super awesome though if you could drop a blueprint on the whitelist/blacklist grid and then the items (or at least the big...

I'd never use this but I can see it being useful to some

ingame option to make GUI popups their own windows, maybe not inventory but power stats, production stats, tech tree, map achievements and anything else that is persistent while you can be moving around the map

except that it's a pain to have to carry 2 levels of drills, I already only ever carry stack inserters and long inserters with me rather than all of them even if it'd be 'better' if I used regular ones or fast ones than stacks, and it's frustrating to have to go fetch the odd filter inserter, I don'...

There's an items on ground select it might just be as simple as adding items on belts and you can clear all the belts into storage chests and have the logistics network reload them

me? bandwagonning, nah just trying to provide a viable approach that won't make people too mad, it's 1200 now so powering it won't make it better than present. Having a trickle of water is actually kind of semi realistic, because you can hand power of battery power pumps a little without too much ef...

or use more roboports, which is the common solution, if you have 1 roboport for every 20 requester chests you kill the amount of charging slots necessary especially if you limit the network size to the botted system and 2 train stations any long distance common stopping point add multiple ports and ...

And gun turrets get a much better infinite tech bonus than either laser or flame thrower that only get 1 boost each, regular guns get 2 gun turret damage multiplies with bullet damage if you keep losing them and are worried about their ammo being lost you might want to defend them with walls and hav...

I don't like the 50% time plus on thing, it's too rigid, there are some servers where they're running 24/7 and that means that a player would have to be on 12 hours a day, +8 hours work, +8 hours sleep, expecting someone to be on 50% of the time for achievements means that long MP runs become by def...

I might be failing to see the point but why aren't you setting up an oil processing station have all your oil trained into one place rather than refining it whereever oil is pumped, here's my usual oil plan at the start make the oil processing on the best oil deposit and leave a bunch of space and I...

I wasn't suggesting mine out the entire thing with burners look ... 90% of this field is mined with electric and if/when you need less or you get acid you can convert to all electric and then filter.

It's not just this game it's an almost universal standard now that inventory in crafting games is set super accessible, from Minecraft on down inventory is next to your movement. And there are a huge number of other interactions setting click on char would forego. Eating fish is click on player, sha...

same suggestion a month ago viewtopic.php?f=6&t=43148

Merge please Mods

That's what I was suggesting, if you don't have acid it just ignores the uranium you're not locked out. But I've seen devs and mods point out that since ore sorting is such a trivial task there'll never be a select this ore only button (also you might be interested to know you can still use burner i...

Yeab but if you're going out 7000 tiles for an oil outpost you're probably passing 10-12 others on route that could all be merged onto the same train, with no appreciable extra distance going out 7000 for an ore deposit that'll last the lifespan of your end game is reasonable, going that far for oil...

like the trains idea but the belts I'm going to suggest the same thing when infinite modules idea came up, a new item that the boost effects and leave the rest alone, infinite belts like infinite modules would initially be the same benefit as their little brother but there's a substantial extra cost...

I realise this is a mad request but I don't want/need the rest of the logistics mod disabling the things like modular robots and stuff doesn't go far enough for me, I don't want the pipes or trains or anything else (I realise once I play with them all those things will likely become indispensable st...
