It also prevents patterns in the input from manifesting as artifacts in the output. There are many ways the new behavior still allows some patterns in the input, which can occur through many natural, accidental means, to manifest in very uneven distributions of types on the outgoing belts. I've had...

I have a suggestion: Implement an ultimate superbot in the game. You need only 1 of this. He can beam all things to anywhere in less then 1 second. And he can build the perfect setups automatically. You just have to start a game, and go out play football. After 4 hours coming back to you pc and wat...

Even better idea.

So you request for "no damage by wall hitting" or just an option to put some rubber-bars (or old tyres) around your parking area?

I think better than 1x2 chests are longhanded stack inserters.
Because there are more use cases for other situations.

What is a U-sized logistics networks ? That is a logistic network in shape of an "U". Maybe you have you're base on bottom and on left side a flank to iron deposit and on right side a flank up to copper deposit. In between are some alien bases. Now a bot try to go from copper-side to iron...

What are the difference between scheduling train stations with offset and having more than one station behind each other with space of 2 wagons each?
I don't get the point why that offset is needed. ...

Like this idea.
I would expand it. In reality there are honk/whistle for short warnings and bell ringing for parts of track.
So there may a horn for player in range. And two signal signs for placing next to track ... on for "ringing start" and "ringing end". Yust for fun

Did you mean, you like to place ghosts on map without having them already in inventory?

So in summary, my vote is for reinstating the old splitter behavior, but have it only remember which belt the last item of each type was sent to, rather than the last 5 to 6 items of each type (depending on which output belt). And randomize between the two belts separately for each type when the sp...

I feel like these building blocks are getting too powerful. Create the network such that each branch goes through exactly the same number of splitters and loop some branches back to the input to create the proper ratios instead. I tried thus mutch but never get it really to work. As long as all out...

very similar - right. but much to complicated. Why should I use constant combinators and NOT-Gates inside of the splitter. Logi work has to be done in logic entities not machines. Filter settings will be implemented in newest Version (as promised in FFF) and therefor the only thing which is needed t...

I like the Idea of having underground belts in a underground-layer. But how to do? I think the easiest way is to type a hotkey to switch in underground mode. There - in underground mode - the entire map may be dark brown. Light structures from above should render as colored rectangles (for orientati...

Ähm ... you may not take users like me into account, who have registered factorio on steam but never played an hour there but loading zip-files and play different maps in different versions of factorio. So I'm within the 60% of players who have not yet earned the rocket-launch-achievement on steam b...

I would vote for this easy lane-devider too!

Like the Idea and missed it much in game.

TLTR: Belt splitter should have a option to set ratio (may be depending on research or add an advanced splitter). This may increase the usability of belts a little bit (regarding to last FFF about bots and belts). Why? Because it would be awesome ... and make belt supply more fun. With this it is p...

My opinion to nerf the bots and raise the belts is this: 1. I think any nerf to bots itself should have a "technical reason", anything other will look and feel artificially and therefore is not fun. I think one way is to prevent bots from insert in a chest at SAME time. As I see the networ...

Dont pull things from the game like this. Find out WHY people are using it, and make it obsolete instead. With barrels, people use them because the current fluid system is asinine and broken. Dont break their capacity and all the current working builds that people have put SOO much time into. Make ...

• Changed splitters so they work more intuitively. The left and right lane splitting is now completely independent. The decision whether item goes to left or right output is now independent of the itemtype.
