Pipes should stay omni-directional.

But there could be some internal optimisations that make building your pipe systems to that fluid flow is mono-directional more CPU and throughput efficent.

+1.

Would be nice to be able to put together a single "trees, rocks, cliffs and stuff on the ground" planner and have it have the right icons.

Also, half-diagonals will let us do better hex grid rails.

If you need to jump a large distance you just need to leave two spots for the underground every so often. And those two spots are then unavailable for other things. Like inserters. It's an issue in beaconed builds mostly. And beaconed buils are the only place in factorio where you actually have spa...

what about monorails? why don't you add them to the game? Because of this video: Why Monorails Are A Bad Idea Adam Something is Czech, WUBE are based in the Czech Republic, they must know each other and share the same opinions, right? ;) Glad someone other than me said it. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgr...

To be optimized does not mean it's as good as it can get. That's (arguably) optimal . Optimized just means it has had optimization applied to it, even if minor. And this does not require adding something to it. You can optimize something by tweaking some of the existing components or methods of con...

No-one else likes "Optimised"?

In Factorio?

For shame!

There's a mod that puts it inthe bottom-left.

Can't remember the name atm.

For completeness sake, how should technologies that have multiple pre-requisites be handled? Are you asking breadth-first vs depth-first, or which order for parrallel techs? I personally don't think it matters. If you're using this, you want the end tech and all its prereqs and obviously don't care...

That's such an elegant little change

100% speedruns are a thing.

This needs to stay possible.

But it doesn't need to stay easy.

And yet another vote for this.

Because we shouldn't need to use multiplayer mode for something this basic.

I'm going to throw a new opinion into the pile:

Nightvision should be a 1x2 (horizontal) piece.

Fusion Reactors shouldn't occupy their corners.

We should have more of a tetris game with the equipment grid.

A couple of little indicators: One for "in inventory" and another for "in the logistics network I'm standing in" would be lovely.

Make them little icons in the corner or something else that's out of the wqany unless you know to look for it.

You can get a lot of use out of "poor man's buffer chests" by using storage chests with filters set.

A standard setup for mall outputs for yellow belts is to go into a storage chest with the filter set and the input inserter wired for quantity control.

Honestly curious: Why do people hate "micro machines" controls so much?

Is this just the difference between UT and Halo vehicle controls?

There's the "color filter" option in graphics settings that claims to do something for this. Don't know when it was added or how well-known it is. (Or how useful it is) Unfortunately not very useful as I touched on in the last paragraph of the original post. It's become quite popular for ...

TL;DR Copy->Paste machine settings also does modules. Blueprinting over machines adds modules. Mod link (I am not the mod author.) What ? From the mod description: First, place some modules into a machine, and then copy that machine's settings (by shift + right click) into another machine (shift + ...
