It would also be very useful if placing upgraded belt over existing one would inherit its orientation, and rotate only with a second click - would make upgrading to red/blue belts a lot easier without hitting R million times and gathering stuff from infected nearby belts.

It's not clear currently as well :) Game does not highlight copy-paste source (the one shift-right-clicked). It's like clipboard in Windows - you don't remember what's in there, and you frequently don't care because that information is relevant for like 10 seconds after you copied. Anyway, if that's...

Got it. Would be very good actually if combinators allowed treating red/green inputs separately and map them to operands. This way each-red * each-green -> each would allow masking out necessary materials.

Got it. Thanks

Not a bug actually, but feature request. I just had a problem with combinators - added more wires than I wanted, then shift-right clicked on a combinator to remember its settings, then removed the combinator (to rewire), then placed it back, and shift-left-click no longer works. It appears that shif...

Is there a way to disconnect red/green wire from a combinator? I know about shift-clicking to do that for power poles, but what about combinator connections? Is there a way other than deconstructing a combinator and setting it up again?

I suggested once to perform shift-right-click, shift-left-click on a single slot. That will require 30 shift-clicks to paint entire wagon, but these are easy clicks - you keep holding shift, and left-click+move your mouse to all other slots. This way you can paint half of a wagon for iron and half f...

Some simple motion blur when moving camera/character might help with this, e.g. blend over previous frame with 80% opacity and keep it stacked (like winamp visualizer) for as long as camera movement is in effect. Might be interesting visual feature on its own for fast scrolls. Another option is to s...

There is much easier way. Put arithmetic combinator for every item you want to filter out with +0 operation (e.g. stone+0 => stone), then gather their outputs. This plus-zero operation also allows to remap signals to different items/colors.

Making idle bots pick random roboport to go for vacation would probably solve the problem and evenly distribute them across the base.

You can also use this trick for nonessential parts of your factory: https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Power_production#Isolation_of_Power_Networks Nice stuff! :) didn't know about it. Thanks I don't get it. Can't you already run custom built power networks by connecting copper lines however...

Heh :) it sounds so many times that devs probably should drop items one by one and recheck circuit/logistic condition after every single piece dropped (within single update tick ofc). Whatever remains in stacked inserter hand remains there, but the hand is turned back to gather more and gathering ti...

btw, there is another case when separate outpost electric network is useful - if you go without solar, you'd want to keep coal drills prioritized by diverting entire factory power to them during outages (like with laser turrets) to avoid death spiral.

I've checked some youtube videos - you are right. It's strange I didn't notice this thing before

That would never work... you want to run the game *twice* on every computer would just make someone with a slow computer lag behind *even more*. I mean situation when all players can handle 60+ UPS, but ping is just too high, e.g. two Dell Alienware playing Factorio between UK and Australia :) That...

What would help in huge lag situations is if game tracks two distinct game states - one real which encompasses all other players actions in sync (and may lag behind) and one virtual that simulates the game from the point of last synced exchange considering other players made no actions whatsoever, a...

you get nothing in return from all the launched rockets You get the purpose of building that megafactory :) What's the point in placing a lot of assemblers, modules and trains if factory is standing still because it has no output at some constant rate? For me factorio is about reaching production r...
