I feel like some images could help understanding the problem you are facing and maybe even finding solutions that already exist in the game.

Agreed. What I would change instead is, that each item has a consistent color/look all over the game. Because I think that’s the most irritating thing of all. The combination of color and different staggered lines or other things would give any item a unique look. Yeah I was about to post a similar...

See also Science as a tabsheet . They could implement it for the most obvious things and let modders do the rest. I think the graph is in general too convoluted so that most of the time you need to customise what it displays in order to make it readable. It however lacks a lot of options for that. M...

Having train fuel selected has no effect if trains are not also selected. The defaults are like this because they assume if you decide to check the trains box, you probably want fuel also. True. However I can imagine how it could confuse new players. I think a better solution would be to either hid...

Wouldn’t be so sure about that. See 101954

Steps to reproduce: - Open the player inventory - Take an item stack - Switch the item stack by clicking on another item stack The hand item will remain in the slot from where you took the first item stack. I would expect, that the hand icon switches to the new slot. It works as expected if you swit...

Fahrzeug finde ich ein sinnvolle Umschreibung. Zumindest unter die Definition vom Duden fällt auch definitiv ein Flugzeug: u. a. mit Rädern, Kufen oder Tragflächen ausgerüstete Konstruktion mit Eigen- oder Fremdantrieb zur Beförderung von Personen und Lasten Ansonsten würde ich noch Gefährt vorschla...

I‘d suggest to just evaluate the question relative to each other and not individually. People just clicking anything because they didn’t want to answer the question in the first place will cancel out and the features that annoy the most people will be on the top of the list.

I was messing around with trains today and I discovered the following weird behaviours: 1. When a train is pushed, the "no path" message appears on the first cargo waggon and not the locomotive. 2. The F4 show-train-no-path-details message returns an invalid train in this case. 3. When I t...

I won't deny that my specific use case might be a bit obscure. I think it's important to clarify that adding alt_reverse_selection would allow the following schema: do something do the opposite reverse 1 reverse 2 That the fourth option doesn't exists, feels like a whole in the matrix to me. Adding ...

I would like to create a selection tool that does the following things: selection = Do something to all selected entities. reverse_selection = Do the opposite to all selected entities. alt_selection = Do something to all not selected entities. alt_reverse_selection = Do the opposite to all not selec...

Rather unexpectedly technology_to_unlock means the shortcut will be available if you researched that technology already in any game. It is used by the base game for the blueprint shortcuts that are supposed to be only available later in the game for new players, but right from the start for experien...

Keep it civil! Arguing on topic can be done without personal attacks.

For reference see 99191. At least the thing about the burner mining drill was already reported.

As a very hacky workaround you could make multiple entities with parts of the animation and then replace them every few ticks.

Just stumbled upon this in-game and what strikes me as odd is that the electric mining drill ghost in your hand has the fluid inputs. Only when I place it down it changes to the normal miner ghost again.

I think this is a reasonable answer: If the alterations are made by another mod within the Factorio environment, then those altered artifacts are *never distributed*. They are recreated each time the game is loaded on a particular machine. Most licenses on the mod portal only prohibit *distributing*...

On a related note: I would really like to be able to conditionally create runtime settings based on the value of a startup setting. My use case is a startup setting that enables a feature and multiple runtime settings to “fine tune” it. It really makes no sense having the runtime settings available ...

I would like to request an event called on_player_controller_changed or something similar. As I understand it this could solve the issue presented here as well (that's why I am posting here). My use case is that I want to know when another mod changes the controller. There already is on_player_toggl...
