I have quite a few complex blueprints that have gone through several revisions.

Can we please get:

• version control for blueprint books
• ability to update a blueprint without wiping, recreating from scratch, and renaming

Self-supplying, self-constructing remote autoposts with proper logistics; I like it! BTW you can do this already if you don't mind using a generic station unloading a few of every type of item that might be required. And yes, you can unload 20+ types of item from a single train wagon in limited quan...

Sounds more like a bug report than a suggestion.

Interesting idea. But I don't find the wires expensive, and if I use a lot I just get them delivered by drone so I have a full stack of each colour in my toolbar. Having a red/green tool in each slot instead wouldn't make much difference for me.

It sounds like you want to transport a few mixed high-tech items back down the bus. You can do that with a belt: have a circuit network signalling the items needed, and inserters only loading requested items. Connect the whole belt to another circuit network and subtract its contents from the origin...

I'm sure its possible one way or another. Personally, I gave up translating the keyboard bindings to be usable on my keyboard, and just created a Factorio mapping for my G13 using the existing Factorio bindings. But if you don't have a dedicated gaming keyboard and don't like QWERTY, this doesn't he...

How would you walk through your factory? Or would you need to park it like a tank?

Annoying that small bumps in the car always require repair? That rocks have "hit points"? Change the damage model slightly: have an "absorption threshold" for each object, which is the number of damage points removed from a "hit" before any hit points are removed (this ...

Same applies on return: robots currently drop items on the player, move away a little to recharge, then move back to land. Really they should just land immediately, unloading items as they do so, and charging after landing. (This would also solve the "bug" that "mining" robots st...

Factories can already store at least one whole stack. But most factories disable their inserters when the output buffer has just a few items in it; smelters seem to be the only "factories" which let inserters keep the supply up until their output buffer is full. But as ATA says, there isn'...

+1, assuming you also mean to rails.

I've had to rebuild a whole station blueprint because it didn't tile correctly due to the rail position.

Really strange idea. Less smart boilers would make basic power plants more complex to set up. You can't "create excess electricity" in the real world; it doesn't work that way. If instead you were constantly creating steam independent of usage, you'd need some radiators or vents to cool/ej...

The space requirements mean even more resources and time spent fighting aliens, and the resources mean more time and effort spent not building other useful thing. I'm surprised that space ends up being a major issue. I find solar+accumulators makes a good baseload supply, and a switched coal plant ...

Wasn't just me then. Trying to build rails in my case, and got "Invalid pan value (error code: 255)" printed a lot on the console.

Great stuff. I especially like the idea of being able to shift/control-click stuff and make it go where you want, instead of dealing with fixed rules like "shift+clicked wood goes in trash". Something i really want: to be able to get an arbitrary ghost item without crafting one. Toolbar is...

I like this rebalance, thanks!

Perhaps another thing worth thinking about is pumping speed? Not sure if it's worth changing, but the speed at which a fluid wagon can be emptied is insane.

You all are missing the point. The purpose is to make steam for oil recipes, not power production. That may be the purpose, but there's no harm in thinking the rest through. E.g. Nightinggale's idea of (indirectly) solar-heating water in order to generate power at night without accumulators is a go...

The "wide" layouts are new? Here's another. It's actually the same as Wide except with the lines closer together. 0eNqlW9tOIkEQ/ZXNPIPp6nvzDfu+DxuzQZi4k+BoAM0aw78vyEBAa5xzxifD6Bzr0nXq0sVbdbd6rp/WTbutZm9Vs3hsN9Xs91u1ae7b+erwbPv6VFezqtnWD9WkaucPh0/rebOqdpOqaZf1v2omu9tJVbfbZtvUx/ffP7z+aZ8f7ur...

Thanks for testing. Yes, I'm not great at signalling. Hopefully this one's better. It's inspired by the Celtic cross, but unfortunately doesn't have the same aesthetic appeal. 0eNqlm+1OGzsQhu9lfyeVxx9jO7dSVUcUVu1KsKAkVAch7v0kZJNT6Lj7vptfFW3zMB7Ptyev3ff75/5pO4z7bvPaDbeP467bfH3tdsOP8eb++Hf7l6e+23TDvn/...
