First factorio should implement heating and pollution values for liquids resp. allow to burn them. They already have that. Really ? Even resulting temperature and pollution ? in 0.16, the only entity that can burn fluids is the generator (steam engine) Of course, consuming fluids isn't a real diffe...

- not really. Only their fuel and ammunition. Those should be converted into an item property of the vehicle item like the hitpoints when storing and re-converted when unpacking.

Well, I'm not the guy who drives every metre with a car...

I'm not sure which solution would be better resp. easier to implement... At least you'll still need a kind of code that represents the logic of your combinator. It would be cool though if you might have an in-game puzzle where you draw a kind of circuit schematic...

TL;DR - You have to place (red) signals at the entraces of the tracks and a chain signal BEFORE the branching. Then a train will wait for the first track where the signal at its entrace is turning green. The signals at the entraces should be chain signals too, otherwise trains could wait behind them.

Once I suggested "manual" autobuild. I.e. if you stand close enough to a ghost and have the item, you're placing it automatically. Of course also auto-repair. But I'm totally satisfied with the actual blueprint system, I even don't hurry getting robots anymore. I can pick a ghost with the ...

There should be a calculated value somewhere, how much the power producers in the network can maximally produce. I.e. if you've got 480 steam engines "432 MW". Of course without checking whether you've got enough boilers and water. Further there should be tooltips above the graphs showing ...

First factorio should implement heating and pollution values for liquids resp. allow to burn them. It would be nice if you have to fuel vehicles with light oil instead of anything that burns resp. need distinct fuel (steam locomotive, diesel locomotive, electric locomotive) or having electric locomo...

You can do anything with the factorio "combinators" but the point is, how easy. One big problem is, that you have to regard how the "combinators" are connected. A single wrong wire destroys the whole concept, and you hardly see which "combinator" is connected with what....

It's not overwhelming, it's making a cable tangle if you try to make more sophisticated circuits, and you can hardly see HOW you wired the elements together. Therefore a programming language won't be THAT user-unfriendly compared. But it should be like the shown primitive BASIC, not Assembler. This ...

There might be a distinct train signal, sent by each train, containing the train ID. This signal should be also gained by rail signals, not just stations. It is returned for the (first) train that is currently in the "block" where the rail signal is the/one exit. Alternatively rail signals...

Sorry for the subject title... TL;DR: something has to be done with the circuit system... - More discussion than suggestion... ---- example: 1.png ---- Circuits are complicated, confusing, visually annoying. But dunno what do to would be the best. It's not the same fun as creating "circuits&quo...

You can limit the size of containers with the red X button, and use filter inserters. Further you can lock slots for specific items in cargo wagons, just like in your toolbelt.

Good idea. New signal: empty slots, and maybe a different container-circuit-mode.

- there should be a "copy" and "assign" button for train stations in the train interface. "Copy" takes the conditions of the selected station, "assign" overwirtes the conditions of the selected station with the stored one. Perhaps a "management tool"...

I'm not very satisfied with the fission reactors viewtopic.php?f=6&t=52070, but I definitely don't wish anything much more powerful.

These buttons are already in my original post.

But not in that arrangement.

Well thought out. But the speed limit should be already about 10 km/h, i.e. when nearly standing still.

Better suggestion: make a hotkey for toggling the personal roboport / => releasing of repair robots.

Better: [-10] [ - ] [        ] [ + ] [+10] button arrangement; maybe Ctrl-clicking on + / - for plus/minus 100 or Shift-clicking for +/-10... "Sensible" values (10-stepping for seconds, 100-stepping for items)...

The slider is not very handy indeed, anyway.

At least the fuel content should be added to the train's cargo information. Yes, as long as there is a way to differentiate coal in the fuel storage from coal in the cargo. Would be convient, but not a must. Resp. if you distinguish cargo and fuel, you can make a fuel level signal based on MJ or GJ...

The first recipe that requires coal is either hand grenades or plastic. You use it for operating burner mining drills, furnaces and boilers... You do not need it in the early game. Well, if you would have a tree harvesting machine in the early game... I won't suggest to relinquish coal as a fuel......
