Modifying a blueprint string outside the game isn't vanilla.

In the early game, flamethrower turrets are a good option. A gun turret has a range of 18, but a flamethrower has 30.

Another good option is mines outside your walls, but this can be a hassle if you don't have construction bots to lay them for you.

Since you mention quality, was your workflow actually something like this?

1. Set normal quality agriscience in one slot.
2. Click a different slot in the same group, then try to set agriscience there. It isn't allowed.
3. Click a different slot, then click a different quality, and then click ...

I agree with this. Currently I can't just control-click quality modules into a machine, because that might replace a better quality module with a worse one. Basically it looks like higher levels replace lower levels...

Q2 replaces Q1
Q3 replaces Q2 or Q1

...without regard for whether that actually ...

This is a game about automation, right? You shouldn't be rushing around hand-filling machines on Gleba. The idea on Gleba is the same as on every other planet: To create a self-sustaining system. It's just that on the other planets you slap down a row of assembly machines, inserters, and belts, and ...

You can't hit them with any weapon I know of, but if you have enough exoskeletons, you might be able to dodge them, and if you have some energy shields, then they won't hurt your health.

It would be pretty great to have little planet icons on the alerts, or something similar, to make it clear which planet an alert originates from.

In my current playthrough I'm constantly noticing that something is being attacked, but I can't tell at a glance whether it's a planet I really need to ...

The mod description says

Base Factorio v2 only - no Space Age support.

In Base Factorio, you can't go to space.

Isn't it related to this?

The solution was, that whenever there is any gap bigger than the standard distance between items on a belt, item can be inserted there and for a (usually) brief moment, the items are squashed together closer than usual. But ...

This could work nicely with the pin feature, where Control-1 through Control-0 would let you go to your first ten pins.

It's some peculiarity to the search results, since the mod pages show the number of downloads.

Maybe what's meant by the caching is that the search results are cached.

Maybe the search result updating is stuck somehow.

I showed ChatGPT the picture, and it said:


The line “Znečištění pohlcování: 1.84/min na sektor” is not natural Czech.

The problem is word order.
Czech normally puts the thing being consumed/absorbed first, and the process second.
So it should be:

„Pohlcování znečištění“ = absorption of ...

There is a mod which perfectly solves this issue. It's called Vehicle Snap. Please integrate it into vanilla.

No need for complex solutions, or breaking changes here.


Snapping has been done already, as of April 2025:

I don't see a benefit to mixing the positivity of this thread with the negativity of that one.

I enjoy Gleba now, but my initial frustration with it was based on a single fundamental error:

Bots.

After Nauvis -> Fulgora -> Vulcanus, I was using a lot of bots. So I initially started Gleba by sending down a bunch of stuff, and then laying down a bunch of assembly machines with requester and ...

If you're choosing to play Ribbon World, it's not the devs playing an evil joke on you. You're playing the evil joke on yourself.

And to be fair, it's not as though humans don't disseminate tons of incorrect information as well.

So maybe artificially intelligence mimics us too accurately.

sicky337, I realize you're probably trying to ask politely, but the way you're asking is in fact rude.

"Would you be so kind as to update it please?" is the way native speakers request something sarcastically .

It carries the connotation "I can't believe I even have to ask this; you obviously ...
