Sounds good, but for UNDO I would restrict it to current screen/view only. Even with long reach settings. I imagine situations, where I press CTLR+Z and nothing happened. Nothing near the player... But far away, in remote factory outpost, some crucial infrastructure element just gone out of existen...

All nice QOL improvements :-) when it get public? ;o) anyway: so when the player presses Q, it will invoke a small selection popup next to the mouse, so the player can explicitly select what to do what about keyboard sequences: pressing one key, then another? for example: Q, Q: destroy Q, E: to inve...

What ? Make construction bots place items not randomly all over the blueprint but only when there is already placed item or player nearby.... Why ? Currently after placing smelter BP and having only few bots, it takes really long time before smelter can produce anyting because bots are spraying ite...

im currently using auto research mod, so if research queue didnt make it to vanilla game im fine with it - thats why mods exists in first place... PS: Why not tie research queue to achievment? for ex. after firing rocket and starting new game? - new player will not get distracted by it and can enjoy...

TL;DR When placing power pole connect it to nearby power poles with restriction, that new copper wire will not cross already placed copper wire connections. What ? I never like look of copper wires crossing each other, so every time when game decides to create one of these (see image) im manually r...

TL;DR Ability to zoom in to part of large blueprint What ? When large blueprint is shown, add ability to zoom in into part of that bp, so player can remove unwanted parts of bp without need to click that 2x2 pixel square as now ... Why ? Large blueprints are showin with large zoom factor, so they f...

TL;DR Ability to hold train in station until next station on train shedule is enabled. What ? When having this type of shedule: Load stack Load Unoad stack Unoad on which stations "Load" and "Unload" get disabled via circuit network. Train will loop between stack stations. Curre...

!@#$ ... i didnt wanna start war over here

i think (at least for now) im resolving this by rail signal at stack exit, that turns red when all related stations are red ...

Hello, just got into train phase of the game and now need little kick in right direction :) I have train with this shedule: 1) Mine Stack - blocked by chain signal 2) Mine - wait until full 3) Smelter Stack - blocked by chain signal 4) Smelter - wait until empty My trouuble is that when Mine and Sme...

I can imagine also another usage of this:



lua can replace icon strings with code, that returns given signal and has loadstring function to execute it ...

Simple workaround: 1) place train station (duh) 2) place rail signal before station 3) connect station and signal with wire 4) set station enabled state to green signal this way train will pathfind to that station, but when get close enough for rail signal to detect it (change to yellow) train stat...

Agree

in regards of mods management and settings i think it would be possible to write custom launcher - probably in electron, because fork

One problem with moving combinators with wires attached is that all attached wires have a maximum length. This length could be exceeded for one of the wires after moving. Related thread: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=52375 Drag Entities with Circuit Connections intact oh .. i ...

You can detatch and manually attach the cables. This means the poles will rotate in a predictable way. Yes it results in a predictable result, but if OP wants the pole to be rotated in a very specific way independent from how the cables are attached then manually detaching/attaching cables doesn't ...

As title says ...

it would ease some headache when trying to fit some crazy combinator contraption into tight place

PS: maybe include all things, that can be connected with wires?
