Re: Poison Capsules Should Produce Pollution
Just to clarify, I don't want the base poison capsules to be stronger than they are. I would like it to be possible to research "poison +20%" the same way you can research "physical projectile +20%". It could affect slowdown capsules as well. Even if there aren't other weapons in...

Re: Poison Capsules Should Produce Pollution
I think adding pollution would help realism. If biters care about clouds of industrial byproducts, surely they should care about concentrated forms of those gases applied directly to their nests. The indirect nerfing of using poison gas as tree removal can be balanced by making the canisters stronge...

Re: Stop inserter from automatically taking an item into an empty assembler
In my experience, inserters never put anything into an unlabeled assembler. Is there something about your assembler creation that temporarily gives it a task?

Poison Capsule tweaks
The first change I think would be helpful is to make it so poison capsules cause pollution. Seems pretty obvious that the biters would hate poisonous green gas even more than they hate industrial pollution. It would also be nice if there were an upgrade for the damage. Maybe make it so upgraded pois...

Re: Midi in-/output for Factorio
It's not exactly what you're looking for, but here's an option for midi blueprints:

It would be great if the already implemented instruments had more range to allow for more notes

Re: Accumulator charge display (current charge, last night charge, status)
One minor suggestion I have is to make the overnight minimum keep its color (yellow or pink) even after the batteries are fully charged in the daytime.

Re: QoL: Set filters in wagons with holding item and dragging
One reason I have found for wanting to restrict an entire car is when I'm transitioning to a longer train setup and might need to refuel an engine or unload a cargo train in the same spot.

Re: Research worker robot speed can simultaneously improve the charging efficiency of robots or a separate reseach
Battery research in vanilla would be excellent. The distance limitation on bot travel means that bot speed research falls off in usefulness very quickly for vanilla bots.

Nothing to say about the example I gave for how this would be useful, though?

Re: A way to keep non-inventory bots from claiming jobs on a build when you really want your inventory bots to do it.
Who said anything about it being temporary? More data on entities and more checks on that data = slower game for everyone. The ghosts aren't permanent, though. Why would any performance hit last longer than the time it takes to build a ghost? Anyway, I don't expect the performance hit from one addi...

Because multiplayer. Why should any one player get to disable an entire logistic network, that might span square kilometers and have a double figures number of other players building stuff with it? This problem is easily avoided by something else you suggest later: Or maybe you could have a special...

Re: Cover ore with bricks/concrete
I think people making this suggestion are misinterpreting the flavor. There isn't large piles of ore on the ground waiting to be picked up. It's underground, we know where it is, and the drills dig it up for us.

Re: Multipipes, you cannot mix fluids at all
It would be nice to be able to set flamethrower turrets to use either light or heavy depending on which is more available. That used to be possible, but I don't think it is now.

Re: Canonical way to convert ChunkPosition -> BoundingBox?
Wasn't sure if it would use < or <= at the end of the range. 32 makes more sense now that you mention it. Thanks!eradicator wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2019 1:33 pmBtw, why are you using +31? When i tested with rendering.draw_rectangle the above code seemed to perfectly match the tile grid.

Canonical way to convert ChunkPosition -> BoundingBox?
I assume that if I'm given a Position chunk_position, I can convert that to a bounding box by doing x * 32, y * 32, x * 32 + 31, y * 32 + 31. However, it seems kind of hacky to hardcode those numbers, even if the size of a chunk is not likely to ever change. Ultimately, what I want is a way to get t...

Advanced Oil Processing seems like it will become entirely redundant. My personal feeling is that Advanced Oil Processing should not be made redundant. Do you think it won't be?
