Its one thing to save your own blueprints and use them later. Or just download a factory and just use someone elses design without understanding it. I personally dont reuse my blueprints in another savegame. Creating new layouts is part of the fun to me. Doing everything the same way every time is b...
1. A reconstruction cooldown could be added.
-in the menu ?
-some kind of rule book ?
2.Turrets could be able to send a signal, that they are busy (shooting)
-roboports can be deactivated, this prevents them to deploy bots.
-split it up into construction, reconstruction and repairs
Killing biters doesnt affect evolution. The nests gather pollution and "pay" with the pollution to send an attack. Destroying nests increases evolution. If you can handle the attacks you might want to keep the nests in place. The pollution is sucked up by these nests and doesnt spread furt...
Mods like Bobs and Angels, Py, Krastorio, Space Exploration have in total millions of downloads. A large portion of the Factorio player base wants more complexity and less ease of use. The number of downloads of said mods underwrite this statement. Yet the direction Factorio went after the Oil chan...
The only thing that actually annoys me about the limited range is that you can't enter the user interface of the machines from distance. There is only the workaround of building a machine next to you, toggle your settings, make a blueprint and place a ghost where it is meant to be built. IDK maybe a...
500 underground belts is excessive. Do you want to know what is excessive? I only use blue underground belts. For everything. Anyway, producing cogs can be made in a central location or by demand. It is very difficult to determine a good production rate when a lot of the cogs are needed for base bu...
I stopped to protect the train tracks with walls and turrets a long time ago.
The ore fields are protected, some space is left for the train station/loading area and thats it.
To be safe just make sure that all the tracks are within artillery range or at least covered by radar.
I think the gap between solar and fusion wouldnt feel so big if the solar panels were 2x2. Solar combined with mk2 batteries is enough for personal construction bots. But something like a charging port would be nice. Could be something like a "stationary vehicle" you have to enter and it r...
Stack sizes seem arbitrary, but you can see it as result of the size of the item in the real world . How big or bulky an item is. Small items have a large stack size, big/bulky items have a small stack size. If you should use a mod to increase stack sizes, be aware the vanilla stack sizes are a fun...
The pistol One of the first researches is military and once you have the machine gun the pistol goes in the bin. I actually use the pistol sometimes as a token in my inserter based sr latch. Burner miners They pollute so much and are really slow. I usually keep them for a while as a backup source of...
It would be really cool if the spidertron could sit on a train for faster transport to the border.
Maybe a special car with a docking port or even a locomotive that runs on the power from the spidertron.
