Also as the player progresses through the game so will its visual representation. In the images below you can check out renders for no armor (early game) and basic armor (mid game) models. I think we're all getting ahead of ourselves. We have the following armor types: Iron, Heavy, Basic Modular, P...

Nice! Now I'll have to look for an excuse to try to use this somewhere!

So I'm curious to know what others usually put in their request slots once player logistics becomes available. I usually keep one stack of each belt, inserter and intermediate products (such as iron, copper, batteries, etc.). I also like to keep a stack in storage and used to use logistics storage c...

I find that the research window popping up when research is complete very intrusive. It's like saying, "STOP EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! RESEARCH IS COMPLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It's very annoying when you're using the mouse to measure out spacing for something, when you're f...

What flavor?

Oh right, I didn't consider the speed of the machines.

Doesn't it take 5 seconds to make a red science pack and 6 seconds to make a green science pack? So shouldn't that be a 5:6 ratio?

That's a personal laser defense, not night vision.

Hm. I'm not sure if that is enough. In every case I want to have just a very simple "Do I produce enough to satisfy everything"-Meter and a "How much reserves do I currently have"-Meter. If you look at the image I posted, the Production bar shows all that information. The entire...

I totally agree that it's misleading at first. I couldn't understand it at first glance either. However, these statements are why you find it really confusing. "How much power are my solar panels currently producing?" (Common sense) vs "How much power are my solar panels currently con...

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3657 I've been using that mod for quite a while now and I think it's great. But a splitter with Smart Inserter filter would do so much more. It could act as a sorter, lane reverser and so many other po...

I don't know if I'd use this often, but I can see where it would be nice to have. Like if you want to get a screenshot of your base in map view or something. The easiest way to implement this, I would think, is to put in a "Show Pollution" checkbox at the bottom left or right that is displ...

Oh wow... I skimmed the OP so fast I thought it said exoskeletons, not speed modules. lol

Speed modules don't work of course... But you can use multiple exoskeletons I KNEW ssilk was joking with me! I imaging he is sitting laid back in his chair with a smile on his face, much like in his profile picture. ;) I don't think he's joking. I haven't tried this myself, but take a look at this ...

I only mentioned it so you can do it as a "while-we-wait-for-turret-patch" series.

Start another Let's Play! This time with the LEAST amount of manual labor - Factorio: The Lazy-man Way . All parts must be made by machines. You could take it a step further, if you want, and make machines make other machines so your character doesn't have to. So before doing anything, you'll have t...

I would think it's your encoding settings than fraps. What are you using?

Hi all! Does anyone know if the toolbelt can be modded? I wanted to change some things around. Right now, it's like this: [1][2][3][4][5] [Shift+1][Shift+2][Shift+3][Shift+4][Shift+5] - Which I changed from Shift to Ctrl because it's easier for me. [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ] - Extra bar from re...

I didn't realize you had to research it, I got it working now, thanks!

Hi, I installed this mod and see absolutely nothing except for that error about anti-pollution. Am I supposed to do anything to see the resource window?
