Weird I had never run into that particular problem with the water transition, but I certainly sympathize with the difficulty in addressing something like that lol I was looking over it and thought - yeah that seems like a pretty straight forward fix I don't see what's problematic abou..... ohhhhhhhh...

I'm for your suggestion though you lost me at making ghosts less spooky, I cannot in good conscience approve of that part.

@Ripshaft A lot of these setups were on the factorio subreddit a while ago. You can get a very compact science setup by combining the traditional parallel approach with series, for example make rows with five labs each and add rows as you need them. You're also indeed missing the point of this. Her...

That is a strange setup you're using.. series instead of parallel. But I think I may be missing the point... either you have enough packs coming to saturate the demand or you don't - if you do then none of that matters, and if you don't then why not just reduce the number of labs until it is, if the...

From a purely gameplay perspective, adding flying or swimming enemies would remove any element of terrain control - as the single impassable barrier (water) would suddenly become passable. So without different terrain or other gameplay dynamics, I can't see this adding to the game - though I would l...

We could just go full blown programmable trains, and have the extra mode be a window with a Lua script that returns the index of the next train station to go to. Maybe it's a bit much, but I would enjoy it. :) Currently the Lua-Api doesn't allow to head a specific stop. See http://lua-api.factorio....

O, I didn't realize this was actually a bug, I'd always find a spot to place another chain signal to isolate so that a different train could travel through the same area... but I guess that once that other train has passed it prompts the stuck train to recalculate its path? Or I have not been victim...

I saw this one last night but forgot to comment - I think the base idea is incredibly good but i see potential problems with the proposed implementation. The idea of being able to identify your trains in some way at a glance from the map would be a wonderfully sweet feature, though I don't think cha...

TL;DR Trains can decide where to go. What ? It would be cool if trains could set their own stops by circuit. I feel like with the functionality within trains it wouldn't be too much of a jump. Like using the same and or logic you can say that if the train has iron ore in it or something that it goe...

1. New games should clear the previous/default save game name variable, forcing the player to enter a new name for their new map or choosing another from the list. 2. Save game overwrite prompt might also come in handy. The game already prompts to save upon quitting, it should also prompt for overw...

Map markers are tied to the revealed territory image so it's technically not possible with the current implementation. Yeah I suspected this to be the case =/ Thanks for putting a pin in that nicely. Didn't reply earlier since I didn't like the idea of bumping my own thread but I came to the conclu...

That's awesome, thanks - though I expect it could be implemented more swakily if done by the devs... sweet stylized design and ramps would be so very nice as well =)

The original games (Transport Tycoon and Transport Tycoon Deluxe) only had regular block signals; TTDPatch added the pre-signals, and OpenTTD added the path signals. Ah good so I wasn't just imagining that =p Also just wanted to clarify - I freakin love the trains in Factorio and heavily use them i...

I have quite a few complex blueprints that have gone through several revisions. Can we please get: version control for blueprint books ability to update a blueprint without wiping, recreating from scratch, and renaming I endorse this idea, has not felt right to delete my old blueprints as I update ...

As most people are hitting on here, they're very different games and the way the games are designed reflects this. The most obvious point in TTD is that you are not a little dude running around, and detail at high level zooms is really not a factor. Though the second most salient point is that the t...

Hm, seems people mostly use a method I never did.. what I described is much simpler as you dont need a decider or arithmetic combinator but that pulse one sounds better. For the people having trouble with a workaround, not sure how common this is, but I'm guessing most people are familiar with how t...

Well I've seen a number of people talking about the change breaking their stuff but not really providing much useful detail so that the scope of impact can be established.... will be terse: Circuit condition [everything] = 0, read hand contents, hold signal Connect all inserters with wire on an unlo...

Suggestion: A train wagon variant that is made to hold a car or tank for the purposes of transport. Example to clarify idea: I picture something along the line of: drive up to transport flatbed in vehicle it automatically detects vehicle proximity and lowers/unfolds unidirectional loading ramps, ta...

Suggestion: Alert Similar to 'object destroyed' is sent, if a train has been attempting to reach its destination without progress for a certain amount of time (including reading chain signal if applicable) - or whatever option is best based on how it's coded. Reasoning: Biffing a portion of track or...

Suggestion: Expand the new (and awesome) feature of being able to place markers on the map to allow for placing markers in the unrevealed sectors (black squares) Reasoning: I want to place markers in unrevealed territory where I'll place a solar radar outpost to scan the surrounding area, though I t...
