Sweet suggestion. Maybe the solution could be a combination of making the corpse smaller, like say 1 pixel square, and requiring a very expensive piece of equipment to find it. Perhaps a pair of corpse-finder goggles, whose ingredients are 100 satellites. Per lens. And maybe make the corpse only vis...

When the player grabs out of a chest, it takes from the upper left first.

When an inserter grabs out of a chest, it takes from the lower right first.

I would assume this inconsistency is intentional. It would be interesting to hear from a developer what the rationale is.

So, it works if you're PLACING it but NOT if you're EDITING it? I'm really trying to resist throwing my PC through the wall... And, you're right it DOES work that way. I am EXTREMELY angry that I couldn't find ANY reference to how this is supposed to actually WORK or how to USE it. I REALLY miss th...

This issue basically only occurs when someone lays down enormous blueprints that include roboports and things don't happen to build in the right order.

It seems like a case of "Doctor, it hurts when I do this."

Perhaps relevant from a different angle, Why do roboports start with power? If I recall correctly, it's just a convenience factor when you're laying out a bunch of them. An unpowered roboport doesn't show a connection to powered roboports. When you're trying to lay them out so they connect, this al...

That happens also when you have different power armor, a bigger is exchanged with a smaller. True, but then it's your own fault for switching armor sizes. The inventory-spilling problem occurs when you're switching the same size armor, but inadvertently perform the wrong series of keys or clicks an...

One thing I am wondering about is if all versions of Factorio will be kept accessible. I personally play my favourite and most time spent factory on 1.0, a newer Factory and an island map on 1.1 and have a few smaller projects on 17 and 18 versions of the game. Including a Krastorio legacy map on 1...

The simplest solution that is clearly better than the status quo is: do everything the same except don't place the undergrounds. As it is, I have to remove undergrounds and fill some gaps in the belts to get the outcome I originally wanted. This way, I only fill some gaps in the belts. The simplest...

I personally don't want to see Factorio being a 100GB game like World of Warcraft or Call of Duty. If I had the option not to install a 20GB DLC that would be nice.

On my machine, excluding mods and saves, the Factorio 1.1 folder is less than 2 GB.

I think your fears are unfounded.

The most basic rule of thumb, which will handle just about every signaling situation: Use chain signals before shared track, and regular signals after shared track. Have a look here: https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Train_signals#Chain_signals Notice in the first picture how the track between the ...

I don't think the comment was intended to be snarky. Searching the mods for "productivity" mostly finds stuff about productivity modules, but searching for "statistics" turned up a couple of things that might be helpful: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/statorio https://mods.factori...

-Do a TED talk! Now... maybe a lot of other games do operate like you, and we just don't see it, but for me, I loved your weekly FFFs and all your transparency about the development. I think you could do a talk on your work flow, or your design beliefs, or your dedication to coding the game to be V...

If you filter by mining, you can find several other options:

As well as a few humongous mining drills, apparently you can also go the other extreme if you want.

Your poll is titled "Would you like to be able to add new resource patches with one big miner?" but it seems like what you mean is "Would you like to have one big miner (instead of many smaller miners) for late-game resource patches?" I think there are some mods that do this alre...

I never ever , as a rule, preorder, but Wube is my one, shining exception. Please give me that chance to preorder and support further development ASAP! Yes, this! I wouldn't buy a game sight-unseen, but I'll buy this DLC sight-unseen. For one thing, given I paid the old ($20) price for the game and...

My credit card is ready. Just let me know when I can buy it!

Maybe normal text 10/48 to show original capacity, and 10/20 with colored or bold text on the denominator to indicate that the capacity has been limited.

As you can have multiple electrical grids, how would you determine which one you wanted the stats for?

Perhaps they could have a dropdown (as with multiple logistics grids), but how would you know which area each grid refers to?

Yes. See previous discussion. viewtopic.php?p=536124#p536124.
