I really dislike the new(ish) 20% minimum, I'd prefer the 2/s minimum (for all oil patches). I don't see a way to "fix" this in a mod, since pump jacks have no equivalent of "products_finished". Only possible solution would be a mod that checks on all pump jacks and forces 2/s fo...

I can't find any info on how the game sorts. What's the key the game uses? Name can't be it. Type, and then? Blueprints are jumbled in some fashion, but… well, let's just say that named blueprints should be findable. They aren't. The icons in the icon of a blueprint seem to play a role, but changing...

The problem with the research queue is that the notification system is, frankly, utter garbage. You (I mean all of you devs) have played other games, haven't you? Ones with notification systems? Tell me one where notifications are that limited: they only notify of a *small* set of events (a very ver...

There is a mod for that. Perfect, thanks! Not perfect, because mod. Inn a 2017 discussion (on a "not a bug" bug report because "broken as intended") on why rockets can be launched even if the silo's output buffer doesn't have enough space ("Rocket launches even when output ...

Ohhh yeah, just like Warzone 2100!

I'm not really surprised to see WZ here. Factorio players have good taste!

Those cliffs in the structures image: this is (one reason) why I always play without since they were introduced: they, here, totally look like rock walls, and not like cliffs. Oh, but I love the other parts. Those walls looks *amazing*! (Now if you could see fit to fix concrete to look like *CONCRET...

This would force the player Those are words I do *NOT* want to hear from a dev, and especially not from a Factorio dev. "Force" players not to overuse bots. Force players to play *OUR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY*. You still appear not have learned the bot lesson: Factorio is immensely flexible, an...

Repeat after me: BPs are items. I like them as items. I *want* them as items. It just feels more proper. "But…" Nope, nothing. Shush. You can, for example, link the library and the BP items, don't see why not. No need to de-itemize BPs (because internally they're objects anyway). One probl...

I think I would vote for proposal 3. I mostly use blueprint books, and each blueprint is rarely used often enough to put it in the quick bar or inventory. What annoys me most is that if you open a blueprint book, look for a blueprint, use it and hit Q, it is moved from the book into your inventory,...

Cool ! Setting the frequency to minimum gives you very few ore, setting the size to minimum gives you no ore at all. How does one makes the difference between very few and none at all with the new sliders ? THIS. I do like that you don't need two clicks to change a setting, but I dislike the lack o...

I have frankly no idea how this here is related to names of saves. This is about having a key binding for "save game".

Tried, works. Add this code to data-updates.lua (or to data.lua, I think it should work): -- Make recipes able to take productivity modules. do local recipes = {"charcoal", "charcoal-complex", "creosote-antiseptic", "coal-coke", "impregnated-wood", &...

Looking at something completely different (namely, how to add higher tiers of productivity modules… and just that, not all kinds of other crap I don't want) I found it. table.insert(data.raw["module"]["productivity-module"].limitation, "X") table.insert(data.raw["m...

This looks just different for difference's sake. No, different or "new" isn't automatically better.

What is striking compared to current is it's much brighter, much more "screaming". I like the current more subdued look. Well, maybe it'll be moddable. Hint: it *better be*.

Can't use productivity modules in Improved Charcoal Creation. Both coal and creosote oil are intermediate products, right? Dangit, tried to look into this, but I can't see where creosote oil or the recipe is different from heavy oil or the basic oil processing recipe. But somehow the game decides th...

v0.4.0 is now available. BRLs are now built as independent entities, rather than as overlays to rails. This is a major change, and is likely to expose some weird cases especially with existing blueprints. I've done my best to search for and update blueprints in your worlds, but I expect there to be...

I chuckle at this whole discussion, because as a new player I find the entire tech tree (beginning at 3 layers down) to be so convoluted and confusing that probably only the most experienced players would even notice these issues. The UI for the tech tree needs work. Fear not! After adding all thos...
