This is a convenience I would really appreciate.

I agree with everything that has been said above! I am disappointed that the devs removed the quick right-click to put down a map tag. I use it often when biters damage my turrets so I can go back & repair them later when I have time. There is a simplicity in being able to generate a message on ...

Summary In the top of the Trains GUI, show the player the number of trains they have. Example: “There are 12 trains.” What? This picture is an edited screenshot of the game that shows what I mean: Factorio_train_count_suggestion.png Why? Sometimes a player wants to quickly figure out how many train...

This is a good idea. Armor & equipment grids already show which items are compatible; it would be nice if ammo did the same.

As far as new player experience goes, a new player won't really understand in what situations the Discharge Defense would be useful. (i.e. I've never seen a reason to use it in all my time playing this game. Even now, I wonder what it's supposed to be used for.) Why take time to put away grenades an...

Yes, this would be a great feature!
I think the Character tab is the best place for it to be visible.
It would be interesting to know what my maximum health is in relation to the biters' maximum health.

I'm super excited that the green water is finally getting some use, and that pollution now has a more visible impact!
However, I too feel that that shade of green isn't quite right. This is a game in which you destroy the environment! The polluted water isn't ugly enough.

I have had the same issue once or twice. My best guess for why the inserters endup with coal with nowhere to place is that when the assembler starts running short of fuel both the top and bottom inserters pickup coal to feed it. One 'wins' and feeds the assembler coal, whilst the other gets stuck wi...

I just saw this and realized this is what I need.
I would like to specify in the entity prototype of any entity I want that it CANNOT connect to the logistic network...
But it seems the API doesn't yet support this feature.
Can we have it, please?

Summary The productivity bonus shown in the entity details sidebar is inconsistent between placed entities, entity ghosts, & entities in hand that the player is about to place. This inconsistency becomes most obvious when using an entity that has both a productivity bonus from technologies &...

Instead of making those LEGO creations by hand, you should build a machine that will automatically assemble the pieces for you...
These are beautiful.

There aren't nearly enough. There needs to be at least 200. There should also be super achievements, that are obtained by completing several other achievements. I respectfully disagree. The more achievements a game has, the less meaning each individual achievement carries. Earning 1 achievement in ...

SmileyMan72: I was finally able to fix the bug. (At least, I think I fixed it. Let me know if you have any more problems.)
My next plan is to update the mod for the 0.18.x experimental version.

Sorry, I meant that the bonus from one Efficiency Module 3 is -50%, while the bonus from an Efficiency Module 1 is -30%. The bonus from two Efficiency Module 1s is then -60%, which is better than the bonus from one Efficiency Module 3. Therefore, the bonus from one Efficiency Module 3 is worse than ...

Anyone else find it weird that Efficiency Module 3s require 20 Efficiency Module 1s to craft, yet 1 Efficiency Module 3 is worse than 2 Efficiency Module 1s? I just think that given how expensive it is to craft higher tiers, there should be a slightly bigger bonus for the higher tiers. I get that th...

I love the animated water!
And it doesn't distract the player--amazing!
One question: is the water safe to drink?

Thank you for letting me know of this bug.
I'll fix it as soon as I can, but unfortunately that will be a long time from now.

Trees and rocks are not decorative though, they are technically a resource. They have types "tree" and "simple-entity", but not resource. They are resources, since the player can mine them to obtain wood and stone (and sometimes coal from the huge rocks). Trees also absorb pollu...

How will larger stack sizes benefit the gameplay?

What did you do? I created a mod that made burner inserters produce pollution. What happened? When I run the game, the tooltip says that burner inserters produce pollution: Factorio_bug_infopanel.jpg However, the inserter does not really produce any pollution at all. This is evident by looking at t...
