if having a vehicle marker and a vehicle which is predetermined to fulfill multiple roles, color can convey information.

I don't see the benefit above the already established SHIFT and CTRL + LMB (RMB) isn't that fast enough?
Furthermore, once personal logistics and trash slots are researched, manual inventory transfer becomes nearly irrelevant.

Please remove Spidertron. It brings nothing new to the game and only clutters the game with junk. Good joke, if its one. Otherwise, just ignore it. It's not a joke. Tell me how adding a spidertron to the game has any relevance to automation? Tell me how it's relevant to a factory? I'll wait. Well w...

TL;DR Keep the current design for Assembling machine Mk I , while update Mk II & III to the yet to be revealed redesign. This should convey information about differently behaving entities (see below) and for nostalgic reasons. 3E754720-074E-4E94-BFE3-037E543A9D23.gif Source: FFF 301 What ? One ...

No more friday facts?(((

As stated in the FFF 360 this was, sadly, the last of them.
A bit of an alternative is emerging as Alt-4F on Reddit.

I wonder what are those "80 internal tasks" which are mentioned in FFF.
Can someone elaborate on that?

I would suggest things like the assembler machine redesign, logistic slots for spidertron and probably a rework of fluid dynamics.
As of now the roadmap dosen't seem to be updated.

TL;DR You should be able to set waypoints for Spidertron, probably edit them in a train schedule like manner. What waypoints.JPG shedule.JPG Why ? Remote building by Spidertron is great, how about remote defending a location. For example: (mining) outpost can be automatically defended easy enough, ...

The different icons For steam and water might be a hint.

Check out the interface tab in the option menu. There you can toggle auto sort.

Or rather seeking something six legged...

haha, "Insectitron" is a great parody! And it has the correct number of legs.

Give it an Lazer shooting tail and the Neobuthus factorio will come to live.

Or rather seeking something six legged...

It seems the devs will be doing it a little bit different for Spidertron; via a freshly created logistic tab.

+1 perfect extension for 1.1
This mod dose it pretty well.

You can use 10 inserters with a stack size of 10 to insert exactly 100 science packs. Thought the same, but just tried that, it yielded only 10 fish. Here's a simple build following up Qon's research. 0eNrdWtuOozgQ/ZXIT7tSGHExl0Tah/mHfdtpRQacxBpiM7ZJb28r/75lSAeapifGkSJ1XjqicZ06nLq4uLyivGpoLRnXaP2KS...

You want the amazing Spidertron too?
But enviromental destruction and overfishing left you blank of any pilot fish brains for spidertron?
No problem!

A little bit expensive, but really cool!

Still, I would describe the result explicitly for radar view as suboptimal. Map view and the Minimap are just fine.
Making this, as suspected, more of a feature request.

as shown below radar view of fogged polluted water dose not match the new color. radar view polluted water.JPG Showing the original blue color on the map and the minimap is about fine, but is suboptimal for radar view, since this is supposed to be a direct image of nauvis. Edit: rephrased as suggest...

What ?

Why ?

Spidertron is amazing not only being actually implemented 240 FFF after first mention, but expanding late game mechanics significantly.
I think both suggestions above would increase QoL.

Edit:grammer

After having had the opportunity to play around with spidertron, I have to say it's really awesome and -as always- thought through very well. Like being sqeak through on steroids.

What about stretching the interval of the FFF to a monthly format?
Probably best not losing touch community...
