There's a question I don't think anyone has asked yet:

Why would anyone ever have two different directions of train stations sitting next to each other like that!?

Request: Turrets have an "is currently firing" signal output. We can fake this using a cingle combinator for rockets, because they have an ammo size of 1 (and with a massive mess for lazer turrets) but it would be nice if, now that turrets have a circuit connection, we could just read it o...

[...] where you can have them right up against each other. ... which is kinda stupid anyway if we think about it. Because you cannot even place signals in between there if the rails are this close next to each other. So I doubt people will even make much use of the possibility in practice. ^^ The b...

And what are the developers waiting for? Why is it not being implemented?
Do they want to coincide the release of innovations with the release of space travel missions?

Yes, they're holding all the breaking changes for the 2.0 release.

This is because rails are on a 2-grid, wagons are 6 long, and have a 1 gap between them.

It's not a random order, it's based on the internal item ID number.

And the new combinator will let you build this.

I briefly scrolled through these replies, and I don’t believe anyone has brought it up yet, so I’m just dropping in to remind you all: Higher quality robots will have larger batter capacity, and higher quality roboports will have an increased charge speed Both of these bonuses will be determined by...

Roboport density has to be raised as robot speed upgrades are researched, even at a constant bot number, because power consumption becomes dominated by the "per tile traveled through" component (5kJ/m), while the time based component becomes negligible (3kJ/s). The quicker the bot, the fa...

I'd be OK with something that would help the bots scale a tad bit better in the endgame, but I do agree it should be carefully balanced not to make the bots OP compared to the other logistic options. My vote is for battery size. Let them travel longer without needing to recharge. Most of the chargi...

Then they're asking for a default settings change that would only benetif people with expensive mice.

And that makes it obvious what the response should be.

How about we repurpose this request back to "let us map keyboard and mouse buttons interchangeably"?

Heck, even bringing back the pickaxe (but please without durability) could be an option!

Yes please!

The only thing you mentioned that you can't do is move conditions between stations, but you haven't given any benefit for this (I've never felt a need for it and can't think of a reason I would).

Copying between stations, on the other hand, would be nice.

Oh gods yes please.

Unrelated, but which loader mod is that? (looks really cool, wanting to grab)

We can test it already. Some madlad back-ported quality to 1.1. Wait, really? Is this a mod I can download? I'd be curious to try it. Edit: Is it this one? https://mods.factorio.com/mod/janky-quality That's the one. Don't run it alongside anything that adds items though, or you'll run into factorio...

Even if the game enforces that "if it can be made in the hand, it can also be made in any assembler,"

It doesn't.

Proof is cellulose scavenging in seablock. Hand-craft only.

we will only really know which one is the “best” when 2.0 comes out and we can thoroughly test it.

I work on servers with service accounts that automagically decrypt everything so much that I had honestly forgotten that. You just get used to storing everything encrypted, and trusting the service account to have the keys and sort it out for you. Of course, then when you get it it's already been au...

Looks like they want to store the game password in an encrypted file on the server host?
