The summery of things requiring maintenance: Things decay or break, so you have to fix them. This is a pain in the backside. So you build a roboport with construction robots to automatically maintain things for you. The decay is now a non-issue and might as well not exist. If a maintenance system c...

Use search, you will find pages worth of angry discussion about maintenance

Whoops. My bad.

The concept here is that much of what you build would require maintenance to continue to perform efficiently. Maintenance is performed by construction bots & sometimes requires materials. Example- Express Belt: (Lube + Iron Gear Wheels) 1. After x number of entities pass across belt, belt requir...

Any thoughts from the devs on implementing this in vanilla or is it better left to mods?

I am all for early game robots, especially for clearing forests.

Maybe have mk1 construction robots (slow & land based) unlocked at electronics or automation 2 plus you could start the game with one of them next to a crashed ship w/ a couple of salvageable modules or something.

ooooo I like this FF. Good ideas.

Great job Factorio team! You guys are awesome.

I'm not certain if this is a bug or my mistake. I somehow lost my 2nd power armor (set up for construction, not used in combat). It was unfortunately after ~1 hour of play when I noticed it was missing from my inventory. I checked everywhere I had been in that time as well as all the storage chests ...

If I understand correctly putting down stone brick or concrete actually reduces the amount of pollution that is absorbed by the land which leads to further pollution spread. Shouldn't this be the other way around? I mean yeah dirt/grass will absorb more than concrete but if your factory pollution is...

I had an idea for a smart assembler but didn't think it was post worthy and it was kind of complicated. However since you have a similar idea I'll share it. Perhaps a logistics assembler would be a more fitting name for what I was thinking. Logistics priority 1. Active Provider 2. Storage 3. Passive...

I like it.

I know it's annoying at first but usually it just takes 1 extra belt to fix issues like that. Not sure if it's intentional or not though as it's just a simple logistic problem to solve in a game about solving logistics problems. If it did end up getting changed then I would want something like keep ...

If mode is not specified by one of the above methods: 1. If a chest has one inserter taking from it then by default it is set to requester mode 2. If a chest has one inserter feeding into it then by default it is set to passive provider mode (must be changed manually to active if desired) 3. If a c...

I still think it would be a good idea because it takes up less inventory space plus you wouldn't have to worry about having an excess of one type and a shortage of another. If an extra step for setup is a problem then I offer the following suggestions: 1. Logistics mode is saved in blueprints 2. Whi...

Sorry to necro this thread but any updates on this or thoughts from the developers? I see in 0.13 the Smart Chest will be removed (+1 from me), but what about combining the passive/active provider, requester, & storage chests into a single "logistics" chest?

Come to think of it, the same argument could be made for grabbing a number of items by holding "f". +1 towards continually pick up when f is held This is the case already. The difference is that Z will put the item down where your cursor is (but only once), F will pick up all the items ne...

It will. https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-113

+1 towards continually pick up when f is held

In addition to the current logistics slots system I suggest the ability to order items from your logistics network "one time only". Example: From build menu, ctrl+shift left click once on the roboport icon (1 roboport will be brought to you) ctrl+shift right click twice on the radar icon (...
