Personally, I think there should be an option to mine rocks with explosives, because shooting them is silly (although fun). Maybe somebody will implement it.

I wonder why blueprints do not save modules that are used in factories. I think it would be nice addition since many builds depend on specific modules you use.

So if you want to use storage chests for something else aside the logistic system, you're screwed.
Isn't that what Smart chests are for?

I used smart chests in the early game, and then upgraded them to logistic chests later. But I still want them to work with the original system, which can take ...

I would definitely vote for making splitter simpler (that is, output per lane, not per item type). Aside from the sorter, which is arguably very neat, but completely useless (you're probably better off doing the same thing with smart inserters), is there any real application of per-item-type ...

I have a question. The diagram shows 23 copper furnaces to 52 drills, or 25 iron furnaces to 54 drills. What is the correct ratio here? I thought the drill produces about the rate of 30/m (see also here https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=12543&p=138770 ), so the correct ratio should be ...

I agree, I would love to see some highlighting in the circuit network as well. It gets messy really fast.

Would love to see that too... I take items out from storage chests (since I use circuit system as an early game logistic system), and logistic system not being able to put stuff into designated storage chest breaks the integration. So if you want to use storage chests for something else aside the ...

I had this idea for a compact train station which could handle any number of wagons with any products in any order, but I had to scratch it because the wagons do not have even lengths.

The idea was that I will have a sequence of train stops on a single rail, spaced by exactly length of one wagon. I ...

Hi all,

I like to play Factorio quite differently than most people - I chose very slow, eco-friendly strategy and built quite a small base around the concept of "Three Belts". I don't like many belts for different products, so I manage many different things on a single belt. I decided to post the ...
