Sorry, multiplayer was a bad comparison. But even I play: “oh no I did it again”, and I smile what mess I did. And the solution is simple: Either pressing F and run around for some seconds or use the destruction manager and filter for items on ground. Right, and if it were a one-time thing that's e...

So, what exact event triggers the low-power tip?

This is another good early-game drone mod: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/TinyStart Unlike some of the others, it doesn't strike me as wildly overpowered. I think you only get 10 construction bots (and can't make more until you get the technology), and they're fairly slow, but they do save you the tr...

The only edge case where you might want to switch armor later would be when you use different setups for armor like: combat armor, a mix of everything building armor with roboports speed armor personal laser defense armor for spidertron Yep, I have an MK2 for speed and building, and an MK2 stuffed ...

While I agree with your premise that it is unusual to take armour off completely (as opposed from swapping loadouts), why don't you just "F" and pick it all up yourself once you've re-dressed yourself? I've never reloaded just because of an inventory vomit. Sure, I could. But the point is...

I think it’s part of the game and a lot of fun in multiplayer (turned pants off, he?nice, let’s see what you got here...)

Do you ever remove your armor (rather than replace it with a different armor) on purpose?

Everyone's done this a time or two or ten: https://i.imgur.com/my4KfLI.png Maybe you're switching MK2 armor sets and you do it in the wrong order. Or you meant to use a Spidertron remote but you were on the wrong toolbar. Now you have to have your bots pick up everything, or just load your last save...

Right...or I could just give them different names like i've done for like 3 years now. You could. Train limits solve some problems, but can create new ones. I always send an artillery train around to keep things clean at my outposts. With train limits, I've named all my iron mines the same, all my ...

Mods with a picture look better than mods without, no question. But if a mod author doesn't care about that, then so what? If somebody goes to all the trouble to create a mod, it seems silly to tell that person the mod isn't allowed with a picture. But if you don't like to see mods without pictures,...

Have you tried this ?

warning dark magic

2020-12-14 21_54_40-Factorio 1.1.0.jpg

I have now!

But...I didn't see anything in there about low power.

It's not that I haven't had low power in this game. Is there really an item in there for it?

Wait, I've got an even better one! Just now I was stomping across the map in my Spidertron, when I realized I'd lost some construction bots. That happens all the time, in any vehicle. What's different in 1.1 is: I can see them! In map view, I can see their little squares very slowly inching toward m...

I went back to go look at it, but I couldn't figure out how to see those mini-tips. How do I call them back up? Maybe you're playing the game too well and never went low power since they were added ? :P :lol: Nope, that's never happened. But seriously, though, is there a keyboard shortcut or someth...

Maybe instead, one of those little Informatron updates could appear the first time a new player has a low power condition. That way it's clear what's happening without having to show a low power icon all the time everywhere. Oh wait, but thats what already happens It does? Oh. Neat. I've seen a lot...

I can see where a low-power icon could be useful...but I can also see where it could be annoying. Unless I have a major surplus of power or large banks of accumulators, every time my lasers fire I'll get a low power warning. Maybe instead, one of those little Informatron updates could appear the fir...

I would just like to say how much I love the little headlights on the car and the tank.

This is intended behavior by the developers. The rationale is that especially when you have many robots, they would be annoyingly in the way if they always took precedence over the thing underneath them.

Personally I find that the number of times locked belt direction is a benefit far outweighs the tiny number of times it's a hindrance.

Instead of forcing a straight line, anchor the mouse pointer in relation to to the game world when the character is holding the build button and is moved in any direction that isn't the direct result of a player input, such as when you hit an electric pole or anything that pushes your trajectory to...

Maybe the game needs a "Spidertron stabilization module" that can go in the Spidertron's equipment grid, akin to the belt immunity module.

What you say is true: After launching a rocket, most people set their own goals, such as science per minute or rockets launched per minute.

Or they start over with a few mods.

Or they start over with restrictions, such as no bots.
