Re: Version 0.16.0

Major Features Added logistic buffer chest. It can request items that are still available to the logistic system. Not true, it's only available to personal logistics. Buffer chests don't work with Requester Chests. Which makes these chests a no-go for me. I was a bit shocked, but this is apparently...

Re: 0.16 Allow logistic Buffer chests to supply Requester chests

I'm extremely disappointed by this change and was really looking forward to this working as it was outlined in FFF #203 . I had the same use case in mind as mentioned in the bug thread with being able to have storage self-regulating and organized and returning certain items to their original storage...

Re: Friday Facts #217 - Just another Friday Facts

Making sure the starting area is not covered by trees. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If a scenario included crash landing and a debris field, the explosions and resulting fires would make a nice clear area in which to start building, while adding some initial excitement. ;-) This makes...

Re: Friday Facts #209 - Optimisation is a way of life

I think you are going attacking the bot dilemma the wrong way. First you have to ask if logistics robots being an entity is a desirable game-play element, then see how to optimise the implementation, and not the other way around. Many gameplay elements could be eliminated for the sake of a faster g...

Re: Factorio Friday Friday Facts #203 - Logistic buffer chest

So when will buffer chests become available in the research tree? Requester chests are way down the line now, and it would be nice to start filtering storage much earlier in the game.

Re: [0.15] Deconstruct all except trees/rocks

I'd like a way to just add this deconstruction planner to my blueprintbook. Yes! I was also going to suggest this as well. Deconstruction planners can now become very customized and it seems silly to have to recreate them for every game. This is especially considering the blueprint library we have ...

Re: [0.15] Deconstruct all except trees/rocks

I was also looking for this. Only workaround I see is to blacklist every individual tree type to the planner. Seems a waste of time with the checkbox and white/blacklist slider right there.

Re: Friday Facts #191 - Gui improvements

I say go for it. The quickbar really is annoying to use now. I constantly have to clear out the useless items that accrue there from crafting, and there's no quick way to do it. CTRL clicking on an empty cell clears the entire quickbar, including ones that have filters set. One inventory is the way ...

Re: Alerts display

I completely agree and elaborated in the same related thread from above here . Essentially it would be nice to have all alert icons be along the bottom of the screen or compiled elsewhere. Perhaps an option on a per-speaker basis that allows for icon stacking? This would allow the player to choose w...

Re: Dismissing alerts

Some of the alerts - especially the logistic related ones - can be quite persistent and annoying, but I don't want to disable the alert sound because I want to keep an ear out for aliens attacking. Would it be possible to,say, right click a notification to dismiss it? I hit the forums just now to r...

Re: Version 0.15.9

Am I missing how to avoid having the speaker alerts stack as one icon? Ideally I'd like an icon for each alert along the bottom of the screen. I'll elaborate on the use-case for this if this query ultimately turns into a suggestion, but I wanted to first ensure I wasn't missing functionality already...

Re: Version 0.15.6

I may have missed this "feature" but why do pumpjacks with no modules display a purple production bar anyway? If this is a bug, I'll report it accordingly.

Another interesting feature is that after starting a new game (in the current 0.14.x) the basic settings are saved and going to New Game again will preseed the values of that game, will it be the same with the Advanced settings? If yes, then please add a 'Reset' button on the Advanced settings tab ...

Issue persists as of 0.14.12. I'm trying to get this thread moved back into the Bug reports board instead of opening a new report there. All the info is here.
