Yep many thanks to Xterminator and KatherineOfSky for all the ideas they have shared. I am very thankful for the entire community reaching out to share ideas and paying it forward when they see someone else looking for better ways of playing this wonderful game we all love!

You are most welcome. I want to be clear, I can't take credit for the idea.
Thank you again to @Zavian who shared the inspiration for this idea...

Here is what I am using to quickly summon trains containing construction materials: 1. Each construction train has its own home base where it loads up with materials, called for instance Acme Home. The criteria for leaving this home station includes inactivity (so I can see if it is finished reloadi...

I would like to see both a number and the visually distinct display for the last car. Both are useful.

Objectives: Automatically start loading fuel on new construction, or when fuel is restored after a fuel outage. Only load one fuel cell at a time. Only load fuel when needed, that is when steam is low. Last week I accidentally ran out of nuclear fuel cells (its a long story). It was such a pain goin...

Another awesome FFF! I love that you are throwing out ideas to generate discussion. Inserters: I would like to see more progression in inserters (and belts and assembly machines...), such that the earliest versions are less predictable. So yes your burner inserters sometimes turn the wrong way and f...

Thank you all again for making this amazing game. Special shout out today to Bilka and everyone who contributes to the wiki, my essential go-to resource for planning my factory.

TL;DR Add the option to mark a given power pole to only allow manual power connections. What ? Provide an option to disable automatic connections to other power poles. The option would be enabled by default, producing the current behavior so when a new pole is placed, it would be able to connect to...

How to ... During Night Time Prioritize Accumulators Activate Steam engines ONLY when Solar Power IS OFF Does Accumulator OUTput information kW value or % value? 1. According to the wiki , power comes first from solar, then steam and finally accumulators. I don't think there is any way to change th...

Yes you can fix the problem by removing wires, it would just be nice to have the option to mark a pole as 'do not automatically connect here, manual connections only.' Or I can learn to leave enough room

I haven't played any of the scenarios before, so thank you for the push to go try out the Introduction Scenario! I agree with the feedback from others who have posted here, just a couple of observations. First observation: To start, I chose Play, Scenario. Hmm, there is no Introduction in the list o...

Honestly, thinking on it more, cause I go for bots not so much for logistics or construction, but deconstruction and having an early game bulldozer bot or something that's only good for tearing up trees/rocks/buildings and dropping them off in chests would alleviate a lot of my concerns on both the...

Let's just make sure I am not promoting something I did not want to: my idea was that we make sulfur from heavy oil, or we make lubricants from heavy oil, not sulfur and lubricants at the same time Indeed I thought your post was quite clear, and I take complete blame responsibility for the idea of ...

The use of heavy oil in real life, after removing a mountain of sulfur from it, is for lubricants Ooooh that would be really cool: pipe heavy oil into chemical plant, out comes "a mountain" of sulfur and a pipe of lubricant. I haven't tried the mod so I don't know if it includes this or s...

I really really love the changes to the laser lighting, reserving the refinery water input for water regardless of the recipe, optional rail obstacle avoidance. You guys are awesome! I am not sure about the change to the basic oil production recipe. I agree with the others who point out that making ...

The numbers, what do they mean?

You are number six! Who is number one?

As usual for me, I am on both sides of the fence for this one. When I start a new game, and I am clearing territory using my poor little car, I want to see the health bars for rocks. Later on I don't care, and I agree that the health bars for areas of damaged trees are a distraction (I am not going ...
