Yeah, ghosts/copy-paste/blueprints are absolutely useless without bots. Game definitely lacks a way to materialize ghosts manually.

I do agree that starting with electricity stuff available makes burner stuff feel even worse than it does from inability to recycle. The main reason for starting electricity are labs - currently research is impossible without electricity. Burning labs would be insanity. That's why I've made a sugge...

I also get your point. And you are right, it is more correct (more professional) to use roboports network. But for casual players like me personal roboport is a very handy thing. Also it requires time and resources to setup roboport network and fill it robots. It better fits to megabases. Personal r...

In construction I heavily rely on personal roboports, also in peaceful playthroughs. I can't imagine base building without personal roboports, legs and reactors. "Place stationary roboport when you need to build something" is like making "Lazy bastard" achievement: if you need to...

I suggest to introduce steam power a little later in the game, and add another initial source of electricity - offshore mill. Requires nothing, produces ~100-200kw power. Thus first offshore pump could be powered with it. I would like to make game start smoother, reduce the amount of starting recipe...

Adding the ability to arbitrarily create water anywhere is kinda questionable, but I'm still a big fan of either A: the ability to remove landfill and restore water B: the ability to make some kind of metal platform over water B1: Metal platform is removable B2: Both structures requiring water and ...

No. I want to control what item I'm using:
- Sometimes I want to use not a top-tier item.
- If top-tier items ran out, I don't want to use lower-tier items.

Some items might have non-linear progression (inserters).

I agree with OP. Military development of player's suit must be separated from construction one.

Rail signals, no. We kinda need those for people who like early trains.

Many players like logistic network. But it is stills buried deep in the tech tree.
It is a question of balance and better progression pace.

If your need full coverage in dense area you should place poles manually. Poles drag-placement is used to cross large empty areas.

New power poles sprites are terrible. I like most of new HD graphics, but definitely not these ones.
In 0.16 Power poles were nearly coolest looking buildings.

What ?

For Laser turret replace Shooting speed and Damage with Damage per second and remove Laser turret shooting speed upgrades.

Why ?

Shooting speed does not make sense for continuous beams.

Realistic maybe, but.... Nobody is going to like electric vs electronic. They are too similar, and bla bla bla. Nobody in my gaming group calls them by their names. Its Green red and blue circuits. Topic isn't only about names, but about essences and respective changes. Inspired by FFF-275 - 0.17 S...

Biters are less active during winter, but breed intensively during spring... I like this idea, but:

1. Seasons (especially winter) will be VERY graphics-heavy.
2. 1 game day lasts for ~7 minutes. How many days in 1 year on this planet?

Hi, factorians! First of all, I think it is incorrect to call green circuits "Electronic". It represents not electronic, but electric technology. Thus I suggest to rename Electronic circuit Advanced circuit Processing unit into Electric circuit Electronic circuit Processing unit This names...

[Koub] Moved to Ideas and requests for mods

Well, I could redesign technologies myself, but I'm not sure manual research can be implemented by mod. That is what I'm asking for.

Here are lots of suggestions and mods about skipping first ~hour of a game, give more initial resources and techs to go big immediately. I've just started marathon game and realized that I want an opposite option - slow start. It will extend burning stage and make transition to electricity a signifi...

It is surprise for me. I was sure progress gets lost.

Actually, the new quickbars show how many items you have total, even if that is larger than 1 stack of that item. Pretty good UI IMO Quickbar - yes, hand - no. I think hand should show the same number as quickbar does - total amount. After all, player could use item directly from inventory, but sti...
