Nothing to complain in FF #213 ... keep up the good work

Text

I felt like I was the only one reading the thread who was bugged by the oddly shaped windows, and the overly embossed borders everywhere, and much preferred the older design, but we all know comments that amount to "Don't change it, your new design sucks" never go down well.

TheRaph has ...

the stock vanilla Items aren't made to deal with that sort of throughput growth (not even the Logistic Bots). Even making your megabase entirely modular won't help about it because of how it impacts the UPS/FPS negatively after a certain point if you always keep on expanding by a factor of 4 ...

I've got a sugestion to solve the problem with highly requested demand of having the option to add more than one train to a scheduling list and the goal to be clearly understandable for newbes.

I have use MS-Paint to reorder some things in mockups ...

Here my idea (may not perfect but gets rid of ...

I like it. Good work.

It would be nice if you may add the possibility to set conditions for a stop. Maybe like "if iron ore > 100 then station 'iron drop off'". This should be first available after some research in lab.

It should be possible to change station name and leave wait condition as it ...

The possibility to reconfig F-Keys for overlays and so on is nice. But as far as I see there is a second point in the original post: adding shortcuts for the toolbelt (second row).

So the player can set what he wants, e.g use 1 to 0 for the upper row and <shift> + 1 to 0 for second row. Or may ...

3. A re-think of Fission Power to make the ratios less arcane. I don't mind the Adjacency stuff, +100% and +200% and even +300%, that's fun, but all those decimal value multipliers...

Actually I hope they rework the Adjacency system altogether in the future to make different setups other than 2*n ...

I hope they will never go that way. Maby there will be Map rotation (in 90 degree steps) but ... please not more than that.
(I remember c&c ts was a great game, where you can use mass of units ... then they go 3D and start to limit everything.)

I enjoy to figure out how things work, therfore I love Factorio.

So informations like "how to use a steam engine" is fine. But how much steam engines I can feed with one boiler should be in the hands of the player to figure out. Likewise other informations.

I know that some player don't like to ...

I think you are going attacking the bot dilemma the wrong way. First you have to ask if logistics robots being an entity is a desirable game-play element, then see how to optimise the implementation, and not the other way around. Many gameplay elements could be eliminated for the sake of a faster ...

There may also be a solution in program code. I think in a way, that they may create an invisible entity every time a bot will be created. Then they create a visible instance like smoke as described in FFF and link them together (e.g. pointer). As long the bots are swarming around they behave like ...

I think growing trees to solve the pollution problem is a big point. I imagine an "climate neutral factory" ;)
So I'm happy if it will implemented soon, regardless if there are other uses of wood or not.

It would be very nice if the existing woods slowly spread out, while active planting will lead ...
