Okay, that was a bit of a joke, but seriously, if they have some things un-mirrorable, then people will consider it a bug and report it, and they'll either have to make it work somehow or have an imperfect mirroring system (which doesn't seem like something they would do). I mean, if the devs make ...

2 is so easy to do with simple honor system discipline (I wanted to link to a five hour burner-drill only speed run I recall seeing, but now I can't find it) that I can't see ever wanting to install a mod for it. I attempted to play for <1000PU pollution discipline, but soon gave up . In this case,...

If your power supply is very low, normal inserters can't even pick up from yellow belts!

How about having just one chest and then set filters for the minimum and maximum number of desired items. Without filters anything can be stored just like a storage chest now. A filter of anything or everything would keep the chest as general storage but limit the amount. If an item is below the mi...

Just wanted to say that this suggestion is really cool. As one additional suggestion, maybe make it possible for storage chests to have only construction robots take from them (not logistic robots) so you can have construction bot only chests, by adding just one checkbox. Or is this not really neede...

In addition to stone, uranium and ore should also be kept above very low.

If you want an extra challenge, you should consider adding the mod 'Rampant', which makes the biter AI more nuanced and harder to cheese.

In addition, the mod 'Space Extension' will give you a longer spanning win condition.

Small islands can be checked by scanning 100 tiles in each cardinal direction, counting the number of land tiles till' ya hit water, adding them up and seeing if the result is less than 250. After 100 failed random guesses, spawn the player on a small island anyway. Or more rigorously by using a bl...

Underground belt entrance of a certain colour always link to the first underground belt entrance of the same colour in front of them.
So, make the first pair yellow and the second pair red, and your setup will work. (Or any other pair of two colours)

I think you can put efficiency modules in your buildings and beacons*, run everything off of solar+accumulators, and doing that will make pollution plummet.

*This might not be effective. Haven't done the math.

Look into Portal Research and Space Expansion for additional end-game content.

electrical-energy-interface is used in the trains tutorial so that inserters can be given power while abstracting away the details of what the power is. Not sure if it is used anywhere else in Vanilla.

I think if you give two different stops the same name, then a train ordered to go to that stop name can pick whichever stop it wants to arrive at.

1) Burner Challenge - already exists, just needs updating to 0.15. https://mods.factorio.com/mods/AJ213/Burner-Challenge 'Everything that took energy now takes fuel.' Useful additions would be -a mod setting to multiply the efficiency of all buildings -compatibility with other building adding mods, ...

have you talked to said mod creator about it?

Look at the OP more carefully - an example mod is provided that changes nuclear reactor production, which demonstrates the bug.

Sometimes it's more useful to show how a number was arrived at than to just write the number. For example, if you had a 1024x768 game and wanted the constant '30 less than 1024', your intent is clearer if you write 1024-30 than if you write 994. Why it's 0.15 / 1.5 specifically I don't know - maybe ...

I would say never, as the devs are pretty much focused on things that are not steam only. Personally, I never understood the steam trading cards, you just get a random X of them for playing a game for X time. Unlike achievements, for which you need to "work", and require some sense of acc...

I've seen construction robots get stuck when they want to place the item they're carrying but something is in the way (like the player character - not sure what else can cause this)

If your updates take 40ms (e.g. UPS = 25) and you make them 3ms faster, you go from 25UPS to 27UPS.

Thx, I forwarded your response to them
