Instead of putting repair packs in the roboports you could just have a storage chest with them in it.

I use a lot of 12-belt balancers due to reasons which I plan to eventually make a post about. So far this implementation is the most elegant I'm aware of: http://i.imgur.com/DmxRel3.png?1 I didn't built it myself, and haven't done any careful science to verify its correctness, but, I'm pretty sure,...

Thanks. Updated.

Thanks for the blueprint. I took out the 12 wide part as I realize that's an impossible request lol.

Such an awesome mod. Great job!

So far my searches for a 12 lane balancer have been unsuccessful.
If anyone has one ready please feel free to share, otherwise I'll be working on my own when I get a chance and will post when completed.

Great year for the factorio team. Well done and happy new year!

Solar boiler + Steam Engine = Electricity

Why?

I say the train should derail, explode, and then the aliens steal yours resources. Welcome to Dark Souls - Factorio.

Why even place a regular yellow Inserter or Fast inserter if a Filter Inserter can do? Same with Stack Inserter and Stack Filter Inserter... why use the first if I can do it with the second. Requires me to carry around less items. The point of "energy consumption differs"/"speed is d...

I was referring to future releases lol. I know the deconstruction tool will be receiving some love in 0.15, any talk of upgrade planner functionality?

Sweet (-:

Any planned changes or updates on this subject?

Extremely important question for those who have evolved from spaghetti.

if you've basically ignored military until much later in the game suddenly your huge iron deposit is running out and you need endgame weapons but you never bothered to get artefacts and now you can't research the weapons without killing spawners which you can't do without endgame weapons. This is a...

couple of points I can't think why anyone would want to automatically load/unload cars and tanks In lieu of vehicle logistic/trash slots I would definitely be interested in setting up SOME kind of system that stocks my car with what I need for outposts while taking the stuff I don't want out. This ...

From some of the combat mods, I like the concept of the aliens dropping the artifacts upon death making them farmable as this offers a solution to the automation issue. However, it looks like alien artifacts are going away since even if automated they still conflict with peaceful playthroughs. I'd l...

So does this fall into the category of "already possible with existing tools so won't be implemented"?

Things I like about the combat system: Tank combat in desert biome before Behemoth biters (Best stage IMO) Weapon variety (even if only some are viable) Things I don't like about the combat system: Behemoth biters (I don't want them removed but they need to be tweaked. They are almost impossible to ...

I've seen a couple other threads on how the auto trash functionality can be improved but my suggestion is simply to have the ability to toggle it off and on. This would be for when there is something that you want to grab out of your trash but are unable to because of auto trash. So normally you wou...
