I have added the latest version to the OP of mine.

It is still not the "final" version.

I started with the detailed animation: http://factorio.nicmd.de/first_look.jpg I "only" have to add the whole housing, add some other parts, add the items, add the belts and colour it correctly. 1080p video of its movement will follow soon. EDIT: I refined the first version a little bit bu...

Since the latest patch the gates open fast enough for vehicles no matter which speed you drive but they don't open fast enough if you use multiple exoskeletons.

Ok, I don't need to (right click and open in a new tab to see the whole screenshot):

Ok, good to know

I don't know which version "messed it up" but some "basic" meachanics are not working anymore. For example - one inserter is inserting into an empty chest and two inserters are taking out things. In earlier versions the inserters worked like this: A takes the item - B takes the i...

Here are some: How do you split a belt carrying two distinct lines of items without a splitter, while preserving which items were on which lane? https://forums.factorio.com/forum/download/file.php?id=2832 You cannot cheat it with smart inserters, because you don't know which items will that be. why...

Gnaaa... well, you can, but it is not correct. See down If I have some spare hours this weekend (I really hope but I won't have any) I would try to recreate any function of the splitter only with inserters and belts ;) (In an earlier version it was possible with normal inserters too as long as the ...

I am quite sure for every behavior of the splitter is a way to rebuild it with belts and inserters only.

So if the argument of all of you is just "you can already build it with inserters and belts only" it is invalid in my opinion.

I know trains are important - but many people have problems with the unscalable GUI when they play in low resolutions and e.g. open a chest with many slots as people who play in very high resolutions have a problem with GUI elements which are too small.

I see there was a little discussion going on while I was at work. The feedback is mostly negativ but I have some arguments to defend my idea. I will start by saying my opinion to what you wrote and then carry on with clearing misunderstandings. While you have taken time to lay your argument for a la...

First of all I want to say that I am aware of those other posts: Post 1: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=7218&p=56665&hilit=swapper#p56665 Post 2: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3657&p=27337&hilit=swapper#p27337 Post 3: https://fo...

I always use active provider chests as "trashbin" - the robots come and collect everything to store it in storage chests.
Nothing is lost and your inventory is empty.

This is (if anything) a feature request. Should be moved. Yes, but it is so easy to fix, that I will rather do it than argue about it :) Also this is one of the small annoyance I had as well when playing it. So it is done for 0.11.9 Thank you kovarex :) I totally overlooked that you already replied...

EDIT:

kovarex already replied to my seperate post.

I totally overlooked it - sorry.

I hope you haven't forgotten about the power lines which are not connecting properly when you delete one in between of two others which normally should connect but don't do.


EDIT:

kovarex already replied to me - I have overlooked it somehow.

The game will now finally hit the roof

That would be very great

I found a weird bug where power lines don't connect when you remove certain poles (even though the polses you remove are not necessary). You can see an example here: Factorio 2014-12-27 23-48-18-19.jpg Click to expand Factorio 2014-12-27 23-48-22-60.jpg Click to expand You can easily reproduce it.

The new idea sounds overly complicated. You could just buy the game multiple times, and gives the keys away, then put into your signature how many have claimed the key. Of course it sounds complicated and maybe it is not made possible in one day - but as far as I know no one has done something like...
