This will render some of my carefully designed solutions obsolete but COMPRESSION!!!

I would imagine it as a switch button with options "Player only", "Non-player only" and "All". It would affect all blueprints/deconstructions placed by this particular player. For example if I want to pick up a line of belts to move it two squares to the left, it is ver...

even if you had to check [do not auto connect copper wires] or something like that.

This defeats the whole point of some blueprints, e.g. if they are too big and complex to manually fix them every time after placement.

Any progress?

It worked that way in testing and it was *really* annoying because of how much damage you'd take from hitting a cliff. You'd lose 5-10% of your vehicles health every time you hit a cliff. Following this logic, there should be no damage from hitting trees too. There are much more trees and there are...

But nice idea so far.

Fixed. (This feeling when your shameless self-advertising backfires.)

Here are all fields that need to be replaced to change look of an ore. Maybe this will help someone else. data.raw["item"][oreName .. "-ore"].icon = "..." data.raw["resource"][oreName .. "-ore"].icon = "..." data.raw["resource"][o...

The "item" is what you mine.

Thanks! That was the problem.

I'm trying to change colors of iron and copper ores because the Internet is laughing at us . I've found prototypes in file "prototypes/entity/demo-resources.lua" and it was looking pretty straightforward. I can change icon of ore item with single line: data.raw["item"]["iron...

Have a base powered by nuclear with bots supplying nuclear cells to the reactors.
Add some bots.
Get a brownout.
Get steamrolled by the biters.
Start a new base.

Only N00Bs don't have any backup power supply.

Factorio is not a competetive game. It is a sanbox game. It is fine stuff is not well balanced. LOL! I'm saw that opinion a few times in this thread. It is basically like writing "Factorio is a sandbox game so is it fine if it sucks." - just a few levels down. No, the game should be well-...

Don't forget to add research that will unlock option to filter via spliters. Prioritizing sides is ok but filtering is too overpowered for early game.

Splitter filters are actually not a new thing. There was some designs that do that before, e.g. viewtopic.php?f=18&t=19114&start=10#p122988
They are hard to use though and they take too much space so it is a welcomed change.

I have yet another idea to improve belt throughput. Make another tier "insanely-fast-betls" BUT inserters wouldn't be able to use it. This would help in mega factories when main buses have 8 or more belts for each basic material. Player would be able to use spliters to merge 2 (or even mor...

I don't have opinion about side-loading but inserters should not compress belts. Don't tell me that I designed my complicated, splitter-filled furnace layout for nothing!

i guess it is the way it is for performance reasons. This could be a problem with stationary logistic site, but personal roboports don't cover that much ground. It should be possible.
