The issue and the reason both of these things are balanced is space, a 40ish MW reactor can be placed in the same space as 5 or 6MW of solar power and accumulators. a 400MW reactor in less than 40MW of solar panels and accumulators FYI Batteries ARE chemical storage and the accumulators are fairly r...

You should probably try out Bob's inserters, there are long handed (even double long) inserters in there without new items, just by adding the ability to configure them (press E or shift+E while hovering on them I think) will let you chose the belt the side of that belt and more

There are map markers on the main map you can use (even letters to spell out messages) but I do wish that they could be set as waypoints and that shows them on the edge of the screen/even on the minimap to run towards You can make signs already you just have to be creative, some can be done with lig...

there's even kill statistics by pressing k

sparr you could add this to world mirror quite easily with the north/south mirror or east west mirror generating void or not generating/copying at all abone chunk 4/6/8 your choice

You can place blueprints with shift click and in 0.15 map mode you can place map markers, effectively this is already in the game

or use it as the bottleneck constraint of coal liquefaction, generally you don't need much/any liquifaction so as a way of disposing of wood and getting some useful product out the end at the cost of using a little extra coal (which is an underutilised resource itself) its a good way to upcycle the ...

TL;DR Bunch of new symbols to give the CN and Maps a little more flair (and possibly usefulness) What ? Add a bunch of symbols to the network, I'd suggest the biological, chemical and radiological warning signs (or some of them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard_symbol) some road signals (no entr...

Mega base thing was mainly at Optera one post above yours Hannu but okay If you compare production costs to overall production, they are nothing. All production entities are practically free in Factorio. Only few percents of resources goes to building of production stuff, especially if you do not us...

The sort order is sorted by quantity first and then order of arrival at that quantity I think if not it's quantity then the order it appears in the crafting menu, so logistics, then production then intermediates and finally military (and the sub orders internally) There is an order it's just not ver...

Am I the only person who thinks that the productivity research is out of place in the game? It seems to not fit with the speed/efficiency/productivity modules in the game. Adding furnace speed research would be similarly contrary to the module system in the game. Not really the idea that as you pro...

You connect it to an accumulator to get energy statistics not a power pole, power poles are useful for letting you string wires long distance adding this would make that a problem. if power is going up you're fine if power is going down and it's day time that's a problem your task now is to find a w...

Nasabot: they can deal with a whole field sometimes other times not. Depends on the size of field how well drained it is whether you module and how close it is. With small near fields 1 train = 3 or 4 patches, with far large fields, moduled up and still mostly at peak performance a 4 fluid wagon tra...

Fluid barrels are fine as they are now. Pipes are the easiest way to transport any fluid - just click and drag and you're done. Fluid wagons allow easy setup (1 pump to load 1 pump to unload). Barrels offer slightly more capacity but you have to spend steel and barrel/unbarrel + deal with the empty...

likey +1 although this might get far more tricky/complex with beaconing it'd certainly be an awesome addition (or mod) I think there is definitely a middle ground for "enough" information without getting too far into the weeds for sure. I wasn't thinking displaying that I was thinking cod...

but then, its too troublesome for such a little thing to ask for, same for installing a mod. I suggest you read https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30240 Mods aren't difficult to install (5 clicks and a little typing - on the main menu click mods, install mods, type a name, click in...

Changing the stack size is a nerf because your inventory ends up filled with the blasted things if you have to move or change a setup, they are already a hassle to work with compared to fluid wagons. Incase it was missed Fluid wagons are in effect an Early game thing (even if you can barrel early ga...

2 year post necro XD but thanks guys ^_^ You're super awesome how'd you re discover this anyways XD
