Re: New train stop "condition" "switch to manual operation"
Now I've got the waypoint thing... But this might be extremely unusual though. Anyway I'd prefer a "Stop"-"condition" because it's simply much more obvious/intuitive. Everything else like "delete a stop in the schedule" is just not as convenient, that's all. As I told I...

Re: New train stop "condition" "switch to manual operation"
Do you have pax stations in schedule for your train ? What is the train doing if you do not switch it to manual ? Of course - I've got a "home base" station to keep the train out of the way. But creating temporary stops again and again isn't very handy. You'll visit many train stops very ...

New train stop "condition" "switch to manual operation"
You should be able to switch a locomotive to "manual" operation automatically, the best by the train schedule conditions. You might simply call it "Stop". It might further be the default behaviour for trains without any train stop condition. => No condition makes no sense. Curren...

Recipe-based pollution
At least pollution values for "fuel".
You should be able to e.g. even burn sulphur and plastic bars, but this should cause much more pollution. Pollution and burning value shouldn't correlate. Further, recipes of chemical plants should cause varying pollution too.

Re: Making Factorio a survival game
Sounds like mod territory. While I’m sure it could be popular, I’m also sure that for a large portion of the player base this would be a complete turn off. That's not a problem. Simply play "Terra 2" with "no survival" modifier, and it's almost the vanilla game. You won't have t...

Re: Option for disabling artillery auto target
Agree for "turrets" but not for artillery wagon. Further this should be controlled by the circuit system. Artillery guns should send their ammunition count to the network and beeing enabled on condition. The wagon is ment to fire automatically where you send it to. If you don't want this, ...

Re: Make fuel slots (in a locomotive, car, tank, furnace...) have a filter
I think it would be better to use a smart fueling station setup. I see the trouble more in the improvement of the circuit system; the combinators are extremely useless yet. A simple comparsion "chest A <> chest B" requires 3 combinators for instance and therefore you get rapidly a hell of ...

Re: Circuit network design
I even don't understand how this should have any effect for players. Maybe you could check whether a train has slots reserved for ore. But the circuit system is THAT primitive and inconvenient, that you can't use this sensibly. For example a smart train station, changing the filter of filter inserte...

Wildcard Stations in Train Schedules
You should be able to use wildcards resp. the '*' in station's names of schedules somehow. Purpose: artillery wagon/train on patrol. You may name stations "Outpost 1", "Outpost 2" and so on, and only set(edit) in the schedule "Outpost *". This way the train will "a...

2 additional buttons for train schedules:
- "Copy" and "Edit".
"Copy" copies the selected station and all of its conditions, inserting it another time.
"Edit" lets you change the selected station, select another one from the list.
This is something you could really use very often.

Re: Clock combinator
As I told here the circuit system needs much improvement. Just like this logic gate thing - you need 2 decider combinators that are creating a simple "true" signal each, which could be then logically combined with the arithmetic combinator. 3 elements and many wires just for that simple t...

Re: Circuits: enhancing rail signal function
+1 though I'd suggest a signal outputs the ID of the train that has reserved it (if orange) or of the train that is in the next block (if red). It should only send a signal of a train in the rail signal's block. The use would simply be to detect whether any train is in a block as needed for railway...

Re: Better Power Network Informations
Well, the even more simple solution is to use a calculator and maybe ruler/set square... It's just a bit annoying to estimate the consumption by rule of thumb instead of having the real numbers.
