I wonder why you don't start Factorio 2 with Isometric view? With real height-levels.

Like going from SimCity to Simcity2000 ... Or C&C Tiberian Dawn to Tiberian Sun
It would be a 2D-Game as it is, but could have more depth.

You could make ammo range depend on position of weapon like in C&C ...

This is a great suggestion. If you don't mind, I'd quite like to add it to my Spidertron Waypoints mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/SpidertronWaypoints), if I find it possible to implement.


You're welcome.



Thanks very much. I got there eventually and it is now in Spidertron ...

A little offtopic and normally I'd spoiler the reply, but it doesn't work so well with attachments.

Yeah, so my megabase world is a bit weird. I like to spread out and eliminate biters from the map - so that wouldn't quite work out.

Here it is with roboports turned on for the map. I like to ...

Sorry, that i overlooked your answer for so long. Following my suggestion, you would move the train by manual driving forward and backward and measuring how many chain...”
The idea is to be able to adjust the level from anywhere on the map via train station control. If you have to manually move ...

I was deploying artillery throughout the map and I wanted something very compact. I also felt that the more clustered the lasers were, the more damage they would bring to bear on biters. With the power off, I couldn't put the lasers tightly around the artillery.


Ok, this was just a copy of my ...

Ah, I was defending the artillery with lasers / satellite, and I needed power to be on.

Eventually I figured out to put artillery on islands and defense / switches were no longer relevant.


If no water are available for islands, the following solution may help you:

(It is with backup energy ...

Cool use of copy / paste. But yes, sad state of affairs with the power switch.

My hack was to use an accumulator which powered on from the switch and sent the A signal to enable things, and then when I turn off the power pole I drain it with a beacon. Expensive and slow power off, but it works ...

here's one using 2 combinators:


OK that will beat me on a single swich.
But when it comes to serial switches this may have a better ratio ...
It is only two combinators for the setup and one for any electric switch to observe.

Without power, combinators don't change their output, no matter their input.
So when you disconnect the arithmetic combinator from the power network, it will still output A=1


Oh ... it seems I've miss that.

With use of endless counter you can reduce it to just 3 combinators ...

I created a remote switch ispired by the pump and tank design but without the need for a fluid. In case there is no water around.



Further refined:


Wow! This is amazing. (Only just checked back on this now, oops.)
Exactly what I was hoping to manage, nice and compact and no dependency on ...

No flashing should be an option at least for modder.

There are Mods which alter the icons and some who disable warnings completely - but there are no mods for "no blinking" because it seems to be hard coded.

And as stated before color coding is nice for me and maybe the devs, but shape is ...

The productivity modules are "red". Except they don't necessarily look red even if you have "normal" colour vision because colour is not only a matter of photons emitted or the biological structure of your retina. For two years I interpreted productivity modules, with my "normal" colour vision ...

It was changed back again after playtesting found it didn't work well.

So you may consider my suggestion to use the same mechanic as in "destroying cliffs" and "removing trees". It's already there and work well, so I assume it should also work with LF.
Just let the object placing bots wait ...

TLDR
BP with LF deploy in one step

Current behavior:
Place a blueprint with landfill and buildings on top on some water tiles.
Your bots will immediately start to place the land fill, but will forget about the buildings on top.
You have to place the BP a second time to place the buildings.

Also it has been changed in 1.1.

I've read the releasenotes - may be my english is to bad - what exactly has changed in 1.1. (in relation to this report)?

Will they reapear in my 1.1.2-Save or have I to load original save from 1.1.1?

To remove all the remaining lag spikes (when interacting with belts) i would have to disable the whole groupping logic and i will not sacrifice that just because of one extremally unfortunate save file.

Would it be possible to make it an option in "settings"?

Is it right, that default upgrade of chests is removed? Or is it a bug?

Normnaly I've used upgradeplaner in default mode (empty) for upgrading inserters and chests.

For inserters it works fine, but if I use UP on wooden chests ist will do nothing.

especialy for train artillery

Yes please, this one!
