Allow Radar to raise circuit signal if here are Biters in sight range.

From Wiki: "To place items into storage chests, the bots search for a storage chest that already stores items of the same type, then for one which has its filter set to the item type. If that can't be found, they choose the first storage chest with a free slot from the list, which is sorted by ...

It might be not a new Science Pack, but alternative recipes for existing ones.
Something like " *** Science Pack + xxx Alien Artifacts -> 2x *** Science Packs".

Also allow drones to automatically pick Alien Artifacts from the ground, to automate artifacts harvesting in defences range.

Each water tile generates X water every tick. Pumps gather up to XXX water every tick from nearby water tiles.

What if we have two pumps in the same lake?

That's the point, overall output is determined not by pumps amount, but by covered water area.

I suggest to go further : you compressed ore into plates, but you can compress Iron Plates into Steel Plates, Iron Gears and Engines right in mining outposts. I mean each mining outpost to produce one of those pseudo-basic resources. I'm trying it right now and like it very much. Especially in marat...

All ingenious is simple. Really impressive optimization.

Allowing players to build canals is an too-easy defence against biters in default game: they cannot pass through and would allow to build undestroyable defences, if you build the canal far out so that no spitter can attack anything of value. Well, what I meant was specifically landfill - i.e. land ...

10) drive a vehicle x number of feet/miles

Oh, come on... Stop using those archaic measures.

Ok, how about: “Drive a vehicle 100 undecillion Planck Lengths.”

That's educational

Unfortunately, inserters simulation is oddly detailed. I'd prefer much simpler simulation with exact rotation speed and throughput.

No optimization is worth such blasphemy.

The color of wire is just there for player distinction. It has no bearing upon the circuit network. Connecting two wires to an entity has that entity sharing all signals across both wires. It does not matter if they are two red wires, two green wires, or one red and one green. It's incorrect. Each ...

Ignoring the signals you add to the circuit network yourself isn't that hard for an entity.

I believe it's actually very hard in terms of circuit network implementation. And counterintuitive.
But choose different behaviors in different networks - why not?

Hello, factorians. Recently I intuitively tried to do the following : sent content of Requester Chest into red network, do some math, set request filter to this Chest from green network. It took me a few seconds to realize why chest allows me to choose only 1 network behavior. My question is : why e...

I like
- kill 1000 biters with automated trains
- have only Uranium Fuel Cell and Nuclear Fuel as power sources

Thermal barrier.

I'd like to see much more uses of heat.

Some people must reinvent the bicycle from time to time, but most are better off just using it. I like to design things by myself from scratch, so I don't use others blueprints. Sometimes I look for some advices and examples, but after that I reproduce what I saw to understand how it works and how t...

I don't like "conflicting objectives" like these. You are going to have to kill biters or they are going to wreck your base. You can't play without killing them. We the player aren't given a choice. You can play without biters. In Factorio you are the bad guy, and I like that devs don't h...

Just add Burner, that produces heat from chemical fuel.
