Re: Steam tanks and heat loss

I think that 500 degree steam should be barrelable.

Check for vehicle speed before releasing personal robots

I think we've all had that moment when we're speeding away from a bunch of aliens in a slightly damaged car when a construction robot pops out to repair the car, gets outpaced and damaged by the pursuing aliens, another robot pops out to repair that robot and meets a similar fate, and soon you have ...

Re: A handful of thoughts

Hello everyone! :-) First of all, I'd like to have the resists display back, right now the tank is just a blank box with HP on it, remember not only graphics provide detail, but also information? One VITAL information that I got this way when starting to play Factorio, was that walls have 100% fire...

Dismissing alerts

Some of the alerts - especially the logistic related ones - can be quite persistent and annoying, but I don't want to disable the alert sound because I want to keep an ear out for aliens attacking.
Would it be possible to,say, right click a notification to dismiss it?

Re: Make Corpses More Visible

I think the way alien corpses are drawn over the top of other items in general is a problem. Aliens get into your base, destroy some belts and then you kill them and can't see which belts need replacing. Or you destroy an alien base on top of an oil field and cannot find where the oil deposits are. ...

Re: offshore pump

I think it would be quite cool if, as you were starting out and had just made your first steam power setup, you had to manually crank it to get it started, and then would watch as the system slowly underwent positive feedback and sped up until it was at full capacity.

Re: The Inevitable Alien Artifact Poll

So I would have kept the alien artifacts, but for alien science packs only. Alien science packs would be used in research based on dealing bonus damage to certain alien types or weakening their resistances or damage, etc.

Re: Trailers for haulage

Due to the way the tank turns it wouldn't be feasible to attach a trailer. As for cars there are extremely limited uses for trailers. Sure if you're off on an alien artefact hunt but they're being removed in 0.15 or maybe if you're out collecting tens of thousands of wood but the only purpose for t...

Trailers for haulage

I think it would be useful to have the ability to make additional trailers that can be hooked up to the car or tank, and give it extra storage space at the cost of speed. Naturally, the speed decrease that arises from increasing the number of trailers on a car would be greater than the speed decreas...

Re: Defensive water cannon/turret

I like the idea of a water turret. Maybe not quite as you described, but with a simple slowdown action while targeting a single creature that stops once the creature is no longer targeted. (It doesn't really make sense to me that the enemies would speed back up over time as they dry out). If this wa...

Two minor graphical suggestions

1. There is a sharp and noticeable border between live trees and trees killed by pollution. foresttrees.png Instead of a tree dying once it has absorbed 5000 pollution units (or whatever value it is), perhaps it has a small chance of dying per second upon reaching this value, or perhaps trees have a...

Re: Once more unto the breach: Combat

Definitely worth reading. At suggestion 3 I thought: that will make the game too complex, until I came to point 4: ahhh, that is cool. :) Thanks. The suggestion is a bit on the wrong side of what the suggestions guidelines call for, so I was a bit worried about it's reception. I think a few central...

Re: Change when the game abbreviate numbers

I would support three significant figures for all production numbers. I don't think there's much need for additional precision beyond that.

Re: Little Quirks

You're suggesting changing a standard that is persistent through the rest of the game for one type of resource. I would prefer "insert 1 item" be a third option like Ctrl + MMB, that way it stays consistent and you can use it in other situations too. I'm suggesting separating the behaviou...

Re: Hidden ores

I feel like i'm a little bit late here, but I had a similar idea recently. In late game, a shaft mine becomes available. It can be placed anywhere and will produce ores at a slow rate. Most of what it produces would be stone (~80%), with the rest being coal (~10%), iron ore (~5%), Copper ore (~4%) a...
