If you make the toolbar filter only, add an option for "last obtained thing". That would automatically set the filter to the last thing you created or picked up (so it would kinda work the way we have now). Even better would be to make it so that if you have 5 slots set to "last obtai...

I usually try to setup outposts to do certain things. Initially someplace that makes rails, so needs iron and stone (preferable with water nearby). I tweak the multi-resource thing to make that more likely. I also make multi-resources more common, since with Bob's you need so many different things. ...

It is free in .15. If you hit 'B' (or click on the icon in the menu bar) you can create blueprints, deconstruction planners and blueprint books. It was changed in vanilla .15.

I think there is a step missing in the electronic assembler line. you have one with double speed for tier 1 and tier 3 what I'm missing is one for tier 2 with 1.5 speed and costing basic electronic boards and be able to craft electronic circuit boards. It would be nice if there was a burner chemica...

I'm still not keen on buildings in bottles, but adding a bob ingredient to the base game science packs does seem like the way to go, especially with higher tier packs like... high tech. One thing I actually did consider was moving the battery back to science pack 3 instead of assembling machine (or...

What I do is tweak the multiple resource percentages, what ores can appear with what, and the weighting. So I'm changing the contents of the resourceconfigs files, which isn't exposed in the in game config (and is too complicated for that to be reasonable). Basically I'm using bob's ores and trying ...

Of course I had to re-ballance all the recipes to make up for that loss.

The irony is that vanilla has just added this mechanic to the base game with the uranium enrichment.

In bobplates, the bob-gold-plate recipe is only requiring 3 chlorine, instead of 30. I was wondering why I wasn't producing any alumina...

Is there anyway you could add hooks to override ore values? If you unzip the directory and make changes they get wiped when a new version comes out. It would be nice to be able to create a mod of my own that just overrides the values I want, but I'm not sure how to do it since you aren't using the s...

bobingabout wrote:Alright, Power mod is out. As you know with the change to boilers and steam engines, all new stats.

So you can never get a Steam Engine 3 to run at 100% capacity with boilers? And with nuclear it will waste heat. That seems... odd.

The hotkeys for changing the orientation of inserters seems messed up in the .15 version. In the controls menu it only shows an option for changing output, not input, direction. Without any researches it works as advertised (though you can't change input), but if you research more inserters it star...

You should probably change the color of the gem ore on the map, since it is the same color as uranium. Perhaps a nice ruby red?

I'm excited for the new belt optimization changes, however, I have one question. With 0.15 you will never ever have to build underground belts for the sake of performance :) Factorio's heart is beating nicely now and will not distract from blueprinting the truly important things. Currently, if you ...

The behemoth worms are freakin' terrifying. I have modular armor, tho no shields yet, and they one shot me. It's nice to know that my fear was fully justified. It was the third one that got me, they have almost but not quite the range of the sniper rifle...

I use big brother, which has separate research for scan area and speed of scanning. The scan area changes are about the same as the upgraded radars for bob's, but are instantly retrofitted to all existing (base) radars, which is both good and bad (since the power cost is tied to it). It doesn't seem...

Hello. What does Rutile ore look like on the map?? What color does it have? Thanks. -Edit Found it. It's purple. OMG, I was looking for differences in blackish looking ores.. On a semi-related note. Is there anyway to easily spot galena on the main map? Especially in explored, but not actively rada...

Out of curiosity can you create research to modify stack sizes for items? That might be even more interesting than inventory size changes.

Hi, i can't make Carbon. I don't see anywhere how to craft it. I looked up the uupcoming techs but i don't can't see it anywhere how to do it. Beside bob's mods i use the angel's mod except the bio processing mod (the game won't start with it). I have see the post with update the mods, i have updat...

Why don't you add a dedicated liquids station to your town? Or perhaps a station for car 1 liquids and a station for car 2 liquids (and so on) and route the train to the proper one?
