I checked in 0.18 and if you take the blueprint book from your inventory or your hotbar it remembers the last used blueprint. When you take it from the blueprint library it doesn't but changes the icon regardless. I would consider this a bug and reported it: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=82749

I looked into this because of this post: viewtopic.php?p=486391#p486391 Steps to reproduce: Take a blueprint book from your library Close blueprint library Shift-scroll to another blueprint in this blueprint book (with a different icon) Clear cursor Open blueprint library again Bug: The icon of the ...

It's a nice idea and I had a look and there is a mod that does this: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Roboport_Radar It's not updated to 0.18 yet and it's a bit different from your request but I thought you might be interested. I think this doesn't have to be a vanilla feature however. It's already so ...

I like this idea and would suggest variants of wood, fish, uranium-235 and uranium-238 as well.

+1 for the ability to reorganize the research queue.

I don't like the idea to have a longer research queue however. I agree with the devs that this would defeat the purpose of the research tree altogether if you could set the all the researches you will ever need with just one click.

I don't really understand how this would improve the game. I think it's pretty obvious that the rail block colours don't represent the colour of the signal at the beginning of the block. There are also hardly any colours with high contrast left: green, yellow, red and blue are all taken by the signa...

if we could apply a filter to remove the empty mining drills in the deconstruction planner, that would be useful too... Together with a (flashing) icon this would be a really nice solution for the mentioned issue of auto-deconstruct (I like the mod anyway): I don't want to be spammed with garbage e...

In my opinion it looks TOO good. A lot of late game bases are completely full of beacons and I think your eye should be drawn towards the machines the beacons support, not the beacons themselves.

Three locales in Petrochem are broken. Here is my proposal how to fix them: [recipe-name] dirt-water-separation-2=Dirt Water Electrolysis 2 water-separation-2=Purified Water Electrolysis 2 [item-name] angels-electrode-used=Used Electrode And one in Refining [tile-name] clay-bricks=Clay brick path

This is a very interesting concept. Can you post any comparison with a version that uses only one lane per side?

I want to add two thoughts to this discussion: 1. Crafting 10 items with rightclick instead of 5 would make it easier to craft a whole bunch of items by hand. 5 Items makes it way easier to craft odd amounts of items. If you want to craft 5-9 items you have to click four times fewer if you can craft...

Very neat idea. Destroying the environment in Factorio should be sufficient. No need to do it irl.

You can toggle which shortcuts you want to be displayed at any time. So it wouldn't take space from your screen or shortcut bar if you don't need any of the remotes. Right now they take inventory space however, even if you don't use them at the moment (doesn't matter if they are selected in the tool...

I think topics should be moved into implemented even if replies contain alternative or further suggestions. If they are still wanted people should post them as new topics. Is there anyway people could help you mods with organizing the subforum? Would it be helpful if people would post replies saying...

I know that this would be a huge task since the "Ideas and Suggestions" subforum contains nearly 8000 topics, but I noticed that there are a lot of topics which could be considered as implemented or outdated. Also it would make searching much easier if post were sorted in subforums like bo...

What ? Remove the recipes for discharge defense remote and artillery targeting remote and make them available via the shortcut bar Why ? Both remotes are things you only need to craft once. Both are very cheap and you need to have the ingredients already in large amounts to research them. It wouldn...

TL;DR When placing a ghost over the exact same copy which is marked for deconstruction, the deconstruction should be cancelled. What ? I am aware that this has been already suggested at least twice (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=69872 and https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic....

I would suggest pie charts.

Why offshore pump, why not landfill ? As I understand it the basic rule of the picking tool is that if you press Q you will get whatever entity you are hovering over, in your Hand. So it would make perfect sense if it would work for tiles (not only landfill but also concrete etc) as well. There is ...
