Please introduce stone chests.

Made out of stone, capacity the same as iron chest but much longer deconstruction time and smaller stack.

Crafting and placing a stone chest should yield a new achievement:

Steam has much lower density than water, true. But if you're going into realism, then steam is also much faster to move through the pipes. So it all can be averaged out in the end. I don't see a major problem here.

Is it a .7% CHANCE to get U-235, or is it some internal/hidden counter, that will give you U-235 every 140 or so processes? I came to forum this morning, wondering if I can move my centrifuge, so that I don't break the counter and don't loose my progress towards U-235, but if it's a chance, then I ...

Boo-urns! I like the current potions! I liked the potions in 0.14. You had a health potion, stamina potion, mana potion and restoration potion. Even their recipes started making sense as soon as you understood that you're dealing with alchemy, not science: 1. Copper and iron gear for health potions...

Varying regional complexity is a nice addition, but then making it variable in time would be even better. Of course, that variability should occur at a specific underlying system, which the player would eventually be able to detect and adapt to, and then even exploit to his advantage, shifting produ...

Hmm. On the other hand, I don't see a lot of use for loaders. They're useful for in-line buffering (nice, but not critical), train loading/unloading (where they replace a number of overcomplicated designs), and supplying ingredients for a few recipes with excessive resource requirements. I was origi...

For bonus points, make the returning capsule an actual game object, essentially a one-time-use provider chest, which may fall pretty much anywhere (including the center of a major alien hive). :-) Though with another research (which requires space science) player can build a landing beacon, which wi...

Why not? You must use R for reversing unloader to loader. Oh, so that's how it works? That's, like, totally counter-intuitive. :-) I actually tried clicking R, but I thought it merely switches loader's direction, not changes it's function. Thanks, will try again today once I get home. One other thi...

In the research window, indicate technologies that require science packs which haven't been unlocked yet. Player shouldn't be allowed to start research on these technologies. Clicking on such technology in the research window should display a message explaining that player hasn't yet unlocked the ne...

Please test pure lab setup as well - no modules, no beacons. Otherwise you have no proper yardstick.

That could be an ideal way to do things, but it require all pickup and drop system to be recoded. It can create lot of other problems and, in the end, rewrite almost all of program core. Please do not make assumptions about Factorio internals. Devs are perfectly capable of determining that stuff fo...

As far as I can tell, there's only a few use cases for loaders: 1. Loading/unloading chests (including bus buffers) at belt speed. With loaders you can dump entire belt into a single chest. With inserters it's a nightmare and tons of wasted space. 2. Loading/unloading trains (completely replace inse...

Whoops, sorry. Yes, you're right of course.

Level 17 is 16K, level 18 is 17K.

Frankly I just don't see the point. A sushi belt is pretty simple, you can build it very early in the game, and it will never need any additional maintenance, ever.

Maybe if I played a mod with more than 8 science pack types.

Getting back to the original topic. I have tested the direct insertion setup against a sushi belt in a couple of different configurations. No beacons, 25 labs in each setup, 6 packs for direct insertion setup vs 7 packs on the sushi belt (military science wasn't being inserted into labs, but it stil...

Once the idea is refined into something viable, either i'll move it into suggestion (if the first post is updated), or OP can create a new topic in Ideas and suggestions describing the final idea, and a link to this discussion for records :). Well, if I was to turn this into suggestion... When an i...

I'm running a Mall setup with belts and constant combinators. Constant combinator contains the "requested" amount of items, an arithmetic combinator substracts the total number of items of the same type stored in the output chests, and the resulting value is used in the respective assemble...

Not that much actually - there are plenty of P2P libraries available.

But at this point even a basic solution would be good I guess.

Only efficiency effect capped at 80%.

Ah, I mixed them up then. Ok, thanks!
