The shadows are the way they currently are because it's a limitation to the engine.
It's more that the images were rendered using an inconsistent lightsource, not an issue with the engine.
If they split the shadows out from the base sprites (and had them rendered using a consistent angle, again ...

Thanks, yes I had read it - just wanted to limit redundancy.. I never ventured outside the news / releases portions of the forums until months and months after getting into factorio - not into the Suggestions portion, certainly. Thus , although its recommended - a good idea or brainstorming reply ...

I would just like to say how useful I've found Pollution as it makes it much easier to see where trains / train stations are - specifically if/where jams have taken place with a very quick review.
I'm not sure how the map will be implemented in 0.15 but wanted to state my preference in some solution ...

Regarding this:
/ IMG
To be honest, when I first saw this image without reading the text beforehand, i thought you made the terrain look like died out (grey and just dead) where theres oily machinery nearby.

A Reactive Environment is certainly one step closer to more drastic variations in terrain ...

Some thoughts after reading the conversation between factoriouzr and Harkonnen.

I haven't played many games, just really long ones but I can see where not having the full benefits of blueprint early-ish game would get tiresome really quickly. If blueprints (from the sound of it) are going to be ...

For those with issues pasting really large blueprints, I find using this or a larger number works well "/c game.player.zoom = 0.15". Easy enough to still see where blueprints overlap over preexisting buildings if lining things up. (reminder that it stops achievements)

Some thoughts

Add a prefix option to Station Names
Just started using combinators to create easy to see percentages of my ore buffers via map/normal view (smart display mod) and realised how useful it would be to include a solution to this on the actual stations on outposts in vanilla! It wouldn ...

I find that 90% of the time I want to use my default (modded) super fast running speed (especially when attacking bases) - without progressively speeding up. I don't want to start at a slow pace again each time I stop holding down that key movement key. But when implementing changes within a factory ...

Best FFF in a while, I am very enthusiastic about anything related to information aesthetics/graphics and I feel the map is an area that has been lacking and would really benefit from some revamps both in supplying a lot more useful information and adding new ways to interact - all to greatly ...

Navigation Speed, Map integration

I just started playing with this today and can certainly see advantages compared to other mods that let you manipulate remote viewing.

The major disadvantage/frustration I have with this mod is it takes sooo long to navigate between points in a large map. In my ...

Can hardly wait for the hi res update. My only concern is what specs this update is going to require -- and if my computer will be able to run it. On testing WaiTex, the fps slowed to an unplayable level.. sooo, although super excited, it may not be possible to actually use it .

I'm glad that someone mentioned the Steam beta status was reset - hadnt played in a while and noticed my steam version had been reset to "NONE-Opt out of all beta's". No problems changing it but still was not expected.

Just installed. Wow, this mod is awesome.
Two things I love about it the most.
1 Hides the rockets launched window - I like to know how many I launched but seriously, with a lot of mod windows open, it was always in the way -- so this is awesome plus the autohide!
2 The auto launch. I am always ...

I STILL have not found a fix for the screen tearing from this release (I have a Radeon R9 200 series, drivers are fully updated). Removing the Vsync totally ruined this game for me. I can revert back to .13.11 and play, but then I cannot play with friends on their server. So, I am presented with ...

I was shocked to find this also happened to me just as described. I'm still unsure why it was disabled in the first place. IMO: In its current state this makes the game unplayable.

A WORK AROUND
So after failing to find a force v-sync option for my hardware (I'm using the new Radeon Settings ...

Although perhaps rare, its possible to get stuck between walls if centered with the wall to be placed and have pushed up against it. Its also possible to not get stuck and be able to walk away from being inbetween walls.

1. centered along wall
2. wall cant be placed ...

I second this, The tank as well as some other components in vanilla have always felt too weak later game.. which means I often don't bother to craft them at all. A change to fix one of these problem items is now finally the flamethrower which I found used to be useless - but (post 0.13) I often use ...

Awesome ideas guys, thanks for the inspiration.

In a related post (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28545&p=184238#p184238), I wrote about some ideas based on enhancements (partly related to the recent posts above), which I very honestly can imagine being included into the real game ...

MAP CONCEPTS
You guys have some great ideas. Map enhancements have always been something I have craved (additional features/control) in map view. Also, as someone who has mild colour blindness, I imagine custom control over map colours would be advantageous to me.


PART 1
Map view - think in ...

How much do you mine and needs to change mining target?
I always run for drills to do everything without me working, so I don't need such features and I believe many others too.
It would be useful, but there are more important things and this wouldn't be used often I guess.

Its mainly for early ...
