They are "slow on updates", but that's normally like a day or two, not over a month. Seems more like the devs either neglected to send them the update, or chose to hold off for some reason. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't an oversight. Not sure what money has to do with it, it's only 1 ...

Not a huge deal since people can key the serial key and then update through this site or the built-in updater, but since 0.16.36 was declared stable, shouldn't that version be the default version for new players?

Just wanted to make sure my fellow GOG users don't get forgotten.

Since manual mining does become irrelevant fairly quick (though it should be noted that mining speed affects removing buildings too), here's an "out there" idea: The picks also serve as melee weapons should you be otherwise unarmed, so upgrades could take it more in that direction. This wo...

This would be a nice addition.

Regardless of the fact that OP has created a very strange setup, it's still an interesting question why the train does that. I did a quick test and passing through disabled train-stops still seem to have the same penalty, so I don't think that's it. For testing purposes, what would happen if you rem...

Brilliant, this is way better!

The only trouble is I feel like a person seeing that and knowing nothing about the game might not understand that Factorio is about building something like that. "Huh, looks like a game about managing a huge factory or something, that doesn't sound very fun." In my opinion the timelapse is...

Can't tell if serious, but it is (would be) a player vehicle. If it bothers you, just don't build it.

If you're gonna deliver steam, why not use nuclear steam and a turbine? It has about three times the energy density.

Actually I did notice because the mod portal suddenly started working in my main browser, which is a badly outdated copy of Firefox. I'm sure compatibility with old browsers isn't high on your priorities, but none-the-less it's nice. Probably speaks well for the site in terms of general robustness a...

There are mods that let you create water, it's not possible in the standard game. (Mainly because creating indestructible walls is kinda cheesy.)

Also you'd have to make sure your moat, be it natural or otherwise, was wider than spitting distance.

Personally I would prefer it only be used for things that can also be named manually (so pretty much just train stops, currently). It kind of makes sense in that case, they need some kind of default name, and these are as good as any. I've never seen one I recognized, but some of them are kind of am...

ShiftNotSet.jpg As you can see these are mod-related controls, unsure if it can happen with the vanilla ones. Anyway, what happened is I right-clicked some of the commands to unset them, because I didn't plan on using them and didn't want to activate them by mistake or worry about conflicts. Initia...

In my last game, the first one where I seriously got into trains, I made a set of blueprints with two rails and large electric poles in between them. So that way I can do the rails and more or less power takes care of itself. Plus high power lines along railroad tracks are a common sight IRL, so it ...

That's a good point. I'm not saying you what you suggest is a bad idea, I'm just a little leery of the game making assumptions about what I want. For example, I might set an auto-trash limit of 50 for coal. This means "if I'm carrying more than 50 coal I don't want it", it doesn't necessar...

This seems like a good idea. What we have now really is kinda boring. I also feel that the current neighbor bonus (100%) is a little too strong. The fact that building your second reactor quadruples your power is kind of a shock! Taking non-immediate neighbors into account might help make that ramp ...

Do any mods add something like this? It seems like such a simple thing, I'm just wondering if maybe there's some reason it's harder to implement than it sounds.

This has been mentioned before, and unfortunately they didn't think it was worth fixing for some reason. Perhaps now that the game is entering more of a polishing stage they're reconsider. I know it's not a very big deal, it's just one of those things that's so clearly wrong that it really should to...

The rule is, it will transfer half of every stack (of one type if clicked on specifically), rounded down but at least one item, I don't see any of your examples breaking that. So basically ctrl+right-clicking just automates shift+right-clicking every stack? Huh. I guess that does explain the behavi...

Normally ctrl+right-click means transfer half. But it does unexpected things when the items involved don't stack (e.g. artillery shells or nuclear fuel). Note that this normally doesn't have anything to do with stack size (that would be shift+right-click), so I don't see why it should be different. ...
