It would probably require some changes to the mechanics, but actually that makes alot of sense. Having very specific places wells have to be build is kind of weird.

Maybe a better solution would be to "spend" items from the trash slots first. For example when bots take items for blueprints or when your cursor or hot bar automatically "refills", it would take them from the trash slots preferentially.

You do not show that there is enough storage available. PlentyOfSpace.jpg But I guess it doesn't matter now. I still don't really understand what happened but after a while the bot "woke up", perhaps pressed into action by low batteries. And then it started flying off south-west. So best ...

StuckBot.jpg Highlighted: Construction Bot holding a Laser Turret. Storage Chest with plenty of space. "Insufficient logistic network storage space" warning. I'm still kind of a noob, so I don't want to jump the gun on reporting a bug, but I can't figure out what's going on here. This is ...

In the controls, you can rebind the blueprint next previous keys, and the landfill size keys. Are you saying that the game won't let you set them to the same key, or that it doesn't work properly if you set them up to use the same key? It will let you set it that way, but the tile (or fill) size co...

TL;DR Please add support for using the same keys for blueprint book next/previous and smaller/larger tile build size. What ? Since one only applies when you're holding a blueprint, and the other when you're holding a tile, there is no practical conflict, but if you try binding both sets to the same...

OK, after rechecking, it looks like this situation is actually this: However I also see the situation has improved somewhat since the version I reported this for. It's still possible get through sometimes with enough wiggling though.

Since version 0.16 I've notice that when walking along a shoreline, footstep sounds sometimes stop playing briefly. The surest way demonstrate this is to walk in a cardinal direction against a diagonal section of coastline.

Yes, I think the logic is that directly usable things like rails go to your quickbar instead. That said I do find the inconsistency a little annoying. Perhaps when they revamp the quickbar to be not an actual container this will change.

Well dang, I'm having all the bad luck. I guess it's just my computer. Never mind then.

It's not so much complicated as it is unobviousness, and an ugly hack.

TL;DR Please add support for binding the 4th and 5th buttons on 5-button mice. What ? I would like to be able bind commands to the side-buttons on my mouse. I know Factorio isn't terribly unusual for not recognizing them, not all games do, but I'm always happy when I see one that does. Why ? Well, ...

I actually think that tracking nukes still in orbit makes much better sense. I don't consider that each nuke having its own individual designator that can't be replaced if lost to be realistic. Consider what happens if you die, and don't recover your corpse. Ah, I admit I did not consider that. I h...

I was thinking the same thing! Something like Shift+F to pick up only the item under the cursor would be very handy sometimes. Especially when dealing with belts, as you said. (And hey the devs want to encourage belt use, right? )

What if instead of stacked belts there were some kind of... Transport Tube, it would be somewhat like a belt, but you wouldn't actually see the items moving around on it. This way the item density could be as high as you want. Perhaps they could even be "virtualized" somewhat and not track...

You want to encourage people to use belts? Here's what you do, make belts more fun and less annoying to work with. Some ideas: The oft-suggested lane-splitter. A belt-planner, like the rail planner, to make placing long non-straight belts less hassle. Near inserters (inserts on the close side of a b...

Dumping nukes via artillery is cool, but wouldn't laying down Rods of God from space be better? :roll: An alternative rocket payload, that gives you a targeting designator instead of science? Yep, that exactly how it should work. Load your rocket with up to 10 nukes and get as many targeting design...

AutoHotkey is a free macro utility for Windows, which I often use to rebind keys for games when I hit the limits of what you can do with the built-in binding options. Sometimes it takes a little trial and error getting it to send input in a way that a given game will accept, but I almost always get ...

But fuel doesn't need as many inserters.

Hmm, I made a brief attempt at doing that but without success. Might have to experiment a bit more.

Edit: Right you are. Not sure why it didn't work the first time.

I do like the idea of giving you a choice between solid slugs and scatter shot. (Or some exotic ammo like acid, explosive or incendiary as later options.) But even with that addition, the current (scatter) ammo needs some kind of improvement, because I just haven't encountered a situation where it w...
