You can middle click into the hot bar, then you can choose, which item is put into this stack. A little bit complicated in use, but usable.

Note: Since v0.7 creepers are gone. They're always thought as replacement. They where replaced by biters.

To the rest: nice ideas. I like the idea of coupling temperature to smartness etc. it's a good point.

Hm. You can make a deep look into the keyboard options to find more such things. Also a good tip is to dive into the news board and read all the changes.

Sorry, but there is currently no other way around learning it like this.

... more like a spiral...

Cool. That explains my different results, when setting up a power plant.

Right now I see the game as production chains setup. That is what I like in it. Why not keep up with that? Why add fight or politics. Well, to have a reason to produce other items. More items. Every war will end at some time, but isn't consumption not a much bigger war? What is easier? Kill some wo...

Besides, that it is a bit off topic, last post was from July: They plan to put blueprints into the game. Maybe next version. This would make building lots of stuff very easy. Energy based weapons: dunno exactly what you mean. The laser turrets are currently in discussion, because thought as defense ...

You missed my main point stated in the OP. Flow through of units is not equal in pipes of different lengths ? Evey pipe is equal length (1 tile). while with belts it is equal and the main capacity difference lies in belt speed. Some way to spot, identify and correct the resulting supply issues that...

Ok, thats a reason, but would that work for every case? Think of a pipe network over an area of 200x200 tiles. Many pumps, which input something, many storages, heaters, coolers... and so on. Hundreds of elements, different materials etc. Different networks pulled together, e.g. the heat of one proc...

Pretty much the most important thing for Factorio would be ways to determine the amount of material flowing through the pipe system at any one time. Pressure and temperature can generally be either discarded or abstracted away. That's really my major issue with the current system really, there is n...

I thought also first : wtf, but then I thought of course, I need to drive it, it makes no sense to stand besides.

It's a small riddle and I think it's ok to keep it like so. Or add a zone, where the player must drive, after he had filled it up, which is a bit away from its base.

Perhaps it's needed to try it out, which is needed.

Model without pressure: the problem is, that the three components temperature, volume and pressure are coupled. If you increase the temperature of a liquid, the volume and pressure increases too (not really true, but I won't explain it in detail now). Possible Solution: Make the physics easier! What...

Yes, integration is really the problem. We were thinking about this couple of times. The maps would have to be generated from Lua because now and then we do agressive migrations that would require rebuilding the test maps. Well, don't automate everything. That was the point with the blueprints: a s...

Anyone else notice that we still have filter inserter icons when they've been removed from the game? Hm. I think It's not that easy to change that. I think, you need to go into database and change stuff by hand. But, well, the excuse, which really counts is: if it would be my forum, then I would ch...

We make suggestions, what they could do, if they are a bit bored.

From the players side it must be said, that you managed always to bring out a more or less stable version, which is playable, even with bugs. 0.8 is a small exception in this line, but there where always ways to go around the bugs. :) And the problem is really the time needed to test some stuff. Wel...

If something breathes, it doesn't mean it lives and vice versa. - if I wear a gas-mask: Which object breathes? Me or the gas mask? - a motor breathes much more air and it's no question, that it will break down, if it breath aerosol acid. (Hm, what is the right forms of breath? I breath, you breath.....

Same opinion. Currently we have all, what's needed, but in future we have eventually other accus, or we have a water-pump-storage(?) or any other kind of energy device (wind) and then the view into the total state of my accus is no luxury, it's really needed. And so I want to keep it: currently, the...

I like that idea...
