What about flamethrower turrets?

Be able to see maximum possible production of items. Right now we only see the production related to the consumption and there is no way to know "quickly and easily" how much we can expand production of an item without starving, before we reach that point.

I would like to see in detail the production of oil / heavy oil / light oil / petroleum / sulfuric acid.

It can have it's own panel.

Strange because I just test it and it's allways round-down either I take from a chest or placing into a chest. From text when placing into a chest with 5 items : -2 robotports (3) When taking item from chest with 5 items inside : +2 robotport (2) What's between "()" are what is left in you...

Current state of discussion: This is only needed, if the game would need us to build U-shaped robot-areas. But that is not the case. :) If you have a large lake/ocean, it would be nice if the robots followed the base instead of taking the most direct path and running out of power over the ocean. I ...

You should definately try wireless charging mod

https://mods.factorio.com/mods/mknejp/wireless-charging

Install a mod that doesn't really do anything, maybe Loot Chest or EvoGUI. Factorio will then disconnect its achievements from Steam and start a new "modded" set of achievements in a separate file which can be deleted to reset them. Thanks! I have never used mods before, so I thought achi...

First, from the image your 4 lane balancer don't need the first or last 2 splitters A > AB --------- > ABCD > ABCD B > AB > ABCD ----------> ABCD C > CD > ABCD ----------> ABCD D > CD --------- > ABCD > ABCD If your train allways arrive at depot station full I think the balancing of each 4 lane asso...

When the cloud is enabled it tends to compare the cloud to your hard drive to see which is newer.

It's how cloud sync work. I think my point is still valid because how it'll be different to disable in-game instead on steam directly?

Locale folder unziped only take 156 KB.

Check proprieties of factorio in steam, second panel you can deactivate steam cloud for factorio.

You should try hardcore survival https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Mylon/Hardcore_Survival . It do exactly what you wish for being attacked at regular interval.

There are a few others mods about ennemies https://mods.factorio.com/?tags=enemies

There are 3 ways that alter the evolution of ennemies :
-time
-pollution
-number of ennemies you killed ( or spawns ) not sure on that.

Actually what most people do in early/mid game to prevent pollution to affect ennemies is to destroy a large area of spawns ennemies around the base.

Fun fact I discover while trying to work on that mod. There allready a system in place that adjust your position if the position (0,0) normal starting place are water. Then it will search the nearest land. The nearest land was a small island when I discover that as my new position ( 3.19921875,1.199...

You should check viewtopic.php?f=135&t=40830

When assembly are active and work at 100% check the number and divide it by 2 or you can check in your handcraft panel.

local tiles = {} for x = 1,10 do for y = 1,10 do table.insert(tiles, {"grass",{x,y}} end end set_tiles(tiles) That still won't work without "name" and "position" as keys. Are you sure about that ? There are 2 different type of function in lua api. can_place_entity{name...

I can point out the problems and ways to solve them though, which can help the devs develop a solution. I think that is more helpful. I understand the problem you try to expose : you don't like "build more when need more" Still the solution missing. What for you should they do that will i...

https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3394 You should keep one suggestion per thread as multiple suggestions it's hard to keep discussion about multiple subject in same thread without loosing focus on some suggestion.

I check the lua api I was thinking it's working same as position.

Both are valid : {1,1} or {x = 1, y = 1}

Explicit specification are required and no shorthand allowed for that function.

Thanks for clarification.

It's said to use this function as a batch. How the right way to do it ?
