The 15 release made me play again after a year! Obviously awesome release. But two things I noticed:

When building something but wanting to cancel it, right mouse click and/or esc are expected to do that in builder games. Only 'q' is unintuitive.

Trees still very faint on the map and minimap. They ...

Ideally it'd activate the matching mods (and deactivate others, unless maybe harmless things like graphics only?) when joining server without restart of game. And download mods you don't have from the server automatically. And manage multiple versions of mods if needed. And if mod has error, no too ...

How about for nightvision just normal day color, with some green effect only on the borders of the screen?

Speaking about the campaign: it would be awesome to extend it with new levels that go towards the final rocket mechanic!

Very excited about nuclear power :)

I wonder one thing: the current boilers, those made bigger here, are those for coal right?

What do they have to do with nuclear power? They're for coal... the nuclear plant should heat up steam right in its reactor, in a closed water circuit (because it's ...

"a test render to see how the new train models will hold up in higher resolution settings"

Myep, looks like they're holding up

I once walked extremely far away from my base to hunt alien bases. My piercing shotgun shells were running out! And I was too lazy to walk all the way back to my base. I had some old burner based stuff in my inventory by coincidence, and could use it to mine copper, iron and coal from nearby ...

As much as I find the suggestion to remove it very troll-ish and as much as I love circuits here, in minecraft, etc..., the original post does have a point:

Explain why big buildings giving out high power sparks to wires are needed for basic logic operations, when there are small circuit boards ...

A key to walk slowly while having fast running armor would be useful, e.g shift.

To pick up items of belts, pressure plate mods, ...

Thanks!

Hi,

You can finish the freeplay game with rocket and sattelite perfectly fine with only transport belts.

I read the awesome wiki article https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?title=Transport/What_Transport_for_which_case%3F

The article boils down to:

-for long distances, trains are best
-for ...

Splitting belt sides using underground belts is also bug, but it's also great feature. http://i1.kwejk.pl/k/obrazki/2013/10/f26ea0235d1ed5be9632dc904dd1507d_gif.gif

Maybe few people use it, but still use. After changing splitter behavior they will be forced to give up that. You want to ruin others ...

My worry is this:

If I have a belt with iron plates on both lanes, for max throughput. Now I want to use a splitter, to split half of it to a section of the factory that uses iron. But the main belt should keep max throughput on both lanes after the split. There may be faster belt types before the ...

Neotix wrote:Right now splitters work perfectly fine. They don't prioritize left side anymore but still work per item type. For me it's the best behavior.

Do you mean the described "ugly" problem was fixed? In that case I had missed that. Then I'm perfectly happy with it as is

For the splitters, how about doing it both per lane and per item? So two per-item memories, one per lane.

The "nonsense" is pretty bad for a factory where you want to split stuff off to a section as it may halve throughput. So I vote that fixing the per-lane is most important.

But when having a ...

Ok I +1'd it. Also looks like I accidently posted this in the wrong forum, I intended to put it in suggestions but it's in gameplay help. Sorry.

Anyway, other thread is from 2014, so I assume they don't take this suggestion

+1 to more visible forest, seriously...

Hi,

I really need to squint and look at the right angle to my screen to see forest on the map.

Yet forest is so important for finding good vs bad paths to walk somewhere.

Colors of terrain types like desert and grass have almost no effect but those are visible on the map... in fact I often ...

Ha ha, it was indeed at 53%, awesome

I noticed a tiny cosmetic bug:

If the rocket silo has productivity modules, and the productivity bar is full, then one would expect the percentage to increase. But it doesn't. But when then the normal green bar is full, the percentage goes +2, so the productivity bonus at least got applied. I think ...

That's dissapointing :(

Is this just because it's not implemented yet, or on purpose for gameplay reasons?

Searching the internet for personal roboports and logistics bots gives nothing.

The personal roboport is described as "acting like a real roboport", so it should support logistics bots too...
