Hi,

It would be cool if i could build entity ghosts without having the item in my inventory.
If i know that a support train is comming carrying the entity i could have set the ghost and leave and let the robos build it while i am absent.
In situations were i build up a blueprint it would be a great ...

I think about a tower that has a slightly larger vision radius than combat towers(Flamethrower, bullet, laser) attack range (+20%).
This tower sends a signal if enemies are in sight of it(maybe count of enemies too).

Don't get this wrong, but it is not ment as a radar replacement. Maybe the ...

I switched from 0.13.08 to 0.13.11 and some item indicators in alt-view are not showing the black background anymore. It seems that it is somehow related to the entity where the idem indicator is shown. See Images (All from 13.11):

Did not find an anwser through searching - maybe someone knows:

How do stack filter inserters set the filter through circuit network if multiple values are present on the circuit network?
Hint: It's not the highest value on the Network that is taken for the filter.

Seems a bit random to me

Sorry for Doublepost:

But the "produce while laying" problems is not a problem imho. If you have 20 Underground Pipes you may lay a pipe that is 20 tiles long. So there is no "produce while building" it's just that if i lay a underground pipe that more pipes are consumed. I know that there are ...

make the cost scale with length

Factorio already has three tiers of underground belts. All you have to do is say that the max length of a fast underground belt is six and the max length of an express underground belt is eight. Or whatever. (This could be in vanilla or in a mod.)

Similarly, we ...

Hi,

i suggest to reduce the cost of the underground belt and underground pipes by a large margin and make the cost scale with length. The main goal behind this is that i don't think that the cost is too high in short-undergrounds(3-4 tiles) but the main benefeit would be to increase the undeground ...

Hi,

simple Question: Does someone know how biters react on pollution like in the attached screenshot? (There is no simple path to attack for the biters)

Thanks.

Hi,

Just a simple suggestion: Please let Mobile Roboport recharge it's internal buffer if the armor is not used (only in Inventory).

I know that i have to choose if i want to move fast/be combat capabil/build capabil. But if i compare shield recharge rate and recharge of mobile roboport it feels ...

i think there should be a combinator that filters in-signals to out-signals.
Ah, a router combinator.
I thought a bit and I don't understand exactly in what situations you need this. What do you want to built?



For the second I think we had a similar suggestion, splitting comparison between red ...

Hi,

i have not found this suggestion by searching for "filter" in the "Factorio direction" sub-forum.

i think there should be a combinator that filters in-signals to out-signals. The UI should be that of the constant combinator. Just set the signals that you want to filter and these are the only ...

Simple suggestion:

Add stack sizes to item tool tips. It is annoying that i have to crawl a full stack together to know what the stack size limit of that item type is.

Thanks.

Topic: Train Departure Conditions - Does someone know how AND and OR conditions match together? What takes Precedence?

Thanks in advance

These barrel handling schemes look overly complicated to me.

In my current game I did not use Rail Tanker and came up with the following barrel handling:

1. There are two trains, one runs with full barrels, the other one with empty barrels (let's call them "black" and "white" trains).
2. The ...

Isn't this what speed modules are all about? Actually the only reason to upgrade steel smelter to electric smelter since speed is the same, but electric smelter allows modules (and consumes more space that makes its use doubtful).

btw, you could use water input for cooldown. and use heated water ...

i thought of a a smelter that does not produces "more" - that would be a gamebreaker balancing wise - if there is no "real" danger in using it inappropriate. Another solution would be to let it produce extreme pollution if it is not used at the right throughput. Even the idea that it needs heat up ...

All in all: The automation process with smelters and assembling machines is only linear. If you put more in you get more out. You can complete the game completly without using combinators / circuit network. In Some cases it makes some setups more "intelligent" but they are not needed in any way ...

I Always thought of an oil train that was not limited by reserved full/empty barrels to maximize transport capacity of full(one way) and empty barrels(other way).

But if there were no reserved stacks most of the time one or another raw oil producing outpost would clog up because of too many empty ...
