Interesting. I like consequences of actions.

Hook it up to an offshore pump and it can provide a broad or focused stream, depending on tech research and the water connection.
Broad:
wide coverage, but much less of a slow down
ineffective against larger aliens
zero damage with a broad stream

Focused:
briefly target the largest alien within ...

I like the idea of stronger walls, and wood walls seems like a good use for leftovers.

However, since they're implementing the new exponentially-scaling (cost-wise) technology feature in .15 (I believe), they could also make "wall strength" a new technology to research and make incrementally ...

I was going to suggest a ban:reason-based system. When you ban, and put in the reason, that is uploaded to a factorio database. For users who get "grief" as the reason, they get a point (like drivers' licenses in some US states, I've heard) on their account. They can wear off over time...a long time ...

Maybe someone who played on Revvix's server from twitch last week will have more and better information. One player had a desync issue, which snowballed into the server becoming unplayable.

It went something like this, as best I can remember:
Player #50 desync
Player #51 connects
Server saves map ...

Just want to be sure that this fix applies to both the console AND the game menu:

On Windows 7, it seems that the "you have died and will respawn in x seconds" notice takes up foreground control and disallows using the console, or even quitting the game in the normal manner by hitting ESC and using the in-game menu.

The server I joined may be intentionally setup so that people ...

I'm watching the stream, and it seems that on both the rented server and Arumba07's server, the connection gets overloaded from people attempting to connect. I've never used multiplayer, so I'm not sure how it's all designed.

As it stands, when connection to a game server with a password, does it ...

Good to know, thank you, however it seems that for any particular item which has an obstruction, zero of those items will be deployed.

A quick test with one of my mining blueprints showed that when there's an obstacle in the way of one mining drill, none of the mining drills get placed. I won't ...

Something like ctrl+left click (you guys can pick the best method) to force a blueprint to deploy despite any obstacles, and simply not ghost or deploy items which have obstacles in the way. When there's an obstacle during a normal left click, show a tooltip that suggests the forced deployment ("use ...

Gotcha, thanks!

I haven't found the information via searches or figured it out through gameplay--how do I access the vehicle equipment grid?

There is a good reason for this change, in that the smart inserter no longer exists,
The smart inserter is still green, if you like the green smart inserter feel free to continue playing 0.12

But 0.13 has no smart inserter, it has filter and stack, both of which have an arbitrary color
Overall i ...

Just to keep it organized with the crash reports, I'll make a third post. I can't make sense of it, sometimes it crashes, but when trying to reproduce it step-by-step, it's not easy.

Attached is the third crash report and botched save file. These autosave crashes occur when loading the last ...

I loaded the last autosave and it crashed during the next autosave again. After that, I loaded the autosave and did nothing--no movements, keyboard or mouse, and it autosaved without a crash. I then tried to see if it would crash during normal play again, and I couldn't get it to happen a third time ...

I'm can't recall exactly what I was doing, but I think I had clicked on a substation or medium electric pole and was watching the graph of power usage, clicking between the first few graph options (many times) including and between 5s and 10h.
I noticed that the crash occurred during an autosave (I ...

Seems like the server and/or database for mods.factorio.com is having problems itself, which may be related. I received something like "could not connect" in-game, using Steam, and saw the new interface and everything, without any errors about the account. It seemed, at the time, like the server was ...

When hovering over the "Effects" icon for the worker robots in the Technology menu, the text is missing.

Ah, yes. Unassisted rate is drastically lower even at full conditions, and I didn't anticipate that to be the case. I played late at night over the weekend and I must've been more sleepy than I remembered when I was tinkering, and I spent a few days searching for info (which makes sense why I didn't ...

What about tips for controls? I remember finding helpful things on reddit which either weren't shown in the game, or weren't explained well or easily obtainable. One had something to do with detonators or explosives (I think), first was how to use them (which I didn't easily find in the game), and ...
