Most of the new functionality seems OK to me (although I've not been a heavy blueprint user up to now). But the one thing that I'm not happy with is how easy it is to accidentally delete a book from the library. I lost a book that way (luckily, I think it was one I'd imported rather than one I'd bu...

I had some difficulty getting the nuke animation to play, probably just my weird browser, but once I got it working, wow. I have to say that looks awesome. Well done. Looking forward to blowing things up in style.

You need an account to access the mods portal and the multiplayer matching server. Both of these are additional services provided by Factorio.com so I can't really blame Wube for limiting them to verified customers. But the game itself does not require any kind of activation, and you can still insta...

Honestly I still don't understand why the underground beacon concept was chosen, but I like this iteration of the idea much better. Definitely looking forward to seeing how it looks in game. On the fluid mixing, do you plan to revert some of the strictest prevention measures now that there's another...

Thanks for the quick work as usual. This is definitely better, but I do note that without the GUI check the arrow intended to point at the furnace appears on top of the GUI. It looks funny, and is perhaps a bit confusing. Still, you've got the text directions in the corner, so I doubt anybody would ...

The shortcut bar is a nice feature, and it's great that mods can add to it, but the default size is just enough for all the vanilla shortcut buttons, and I want to keep pretty much all of those. I know you can increase the height, but then it's taller than my standard two-row toolbar. Is there any w...

When you first learn to smelt ore, triggering the next step (remove plates from furnace) seems to require the following conditions: Furnace is not processing Furnace contains an iron plate No window is open #3 creates an easy way to mess it up and get (as far as the new player can tell) completely s...

TL;DR Toggle buttons, such as "Toggle Personall Roboport" on the new toolbar should make different sounds when turned on vs. off. What ? I'm thinking like "click" vs. "pop", high vs. low, or even something that emulates a real mechanical toggle button. Why ? It would b...

Tangentially related: I don't usually pay much attention to Steam, but I happened to look at Factorio's page there and I noticed you've got some outdated info about what 1.0 will look like in the "Why Early Access?" section.

I think it's very exciting that the demo (as in free sample) is getting expanded. And using the tried and true campaign levels seems like a good way to go. As cool as it was to have a demo at all (something I miss from older games, seems much rarer nowadays) I always thought the old one it was a lit...

Was just about to report this myself, but I see someone beat me to it. Yeah, it's kinda weird. I'm inclined to think the bot-deployed one is incorrect; that's a pretty big crater for such a mundane kind of explosion to leave. Either way though, one would expect them to match. Additionally, I just no...

Just checked: Still includes a bin folder with an executable.

This is definitely a big change. I'm not sure that to think. But the one part I'm pretty sure I don't like is having it painted red. This just seems like a weird choice. For most entities bright colors are used rather sparingly. And I just can't think of any reason it should be used here. Unless you...

Removed the utility slots (to create blueprint, book etc) from blueprint library as it is now available directly through quick tools menu. Not sure what I think of this one... I was used to getting them from the library, and I don't see how it does any harm to have them available in two places.

All good things must come to an end, mediocre things too. I will not be updating the mod any further - it will not be ported to Factorio 0.18 by me. I'd like to thank the players who supported me and the mod while it lasted. Sad to hear that. I haven't actually tried this mod yet but I was looking ...

So... as long as you're reworking colors, can you make the red desert red again?

Just talking off the top of my head, but the one entity type that seems like it would benefit from batching the most is belts. They're 1x1 of course, and when laying out a main bus for instance, common designs cover 2/3 of the path with them.

Quick comment on the remnants: Most of these look great and strike a good balance, but the one class of objects that IMHO don't look destroyed enough are the chests. They fact that they still appear to be substantially closed containers doesn't feel right. Like seeing that I would think "Damn, ...

Any chance you could make the uranium text plates glow? That would be awesome.

One quick nitpick: In the evacuation stage it asks me to pick things up. But I'd already picked up everything I wanted in the previous step. If there is nothing left to take, the quest should auto complete. Ill look into it. Fair enough. And I'm not certain there was literally nothing left, I colle...
