Sorry, I thought it was weird (and unintended) that the migration dialogue in 1.0.0 doesn't respond directly to the regular hotkeys (E and Enter), and instead seems to store the keypresses(?) until the dialogue is closed (i.e. after clicking Confirm, I pop out of my car and my inventory opens).

Try these changes from default: Reduce all resource densities to 33%. Reduce all resource frequencies to 50%. Double enemy expansion minimum group size (to 10). Halve enemy expansion maximum cooldown (to 30 min). Reducing density, especially, will force you out of the comfort of the starting area in...

This is technically undefined behavior as of 1.0.0, but it was recently brought to my attention that there is intent for 1.1.0 to make all dialogs close consistently upon pressing E. I'd just like to point out that the version migration window that pops up when loading an older game save does not cu...

Damn, that's actually better. I just don't like the chest cuz even if you limit it it's gonna store at least 200 ammo

Not if you tell the assembler inserter to fill it less.

On another note, irony: a Combinator Creation with 0 combinators.

I like how the Nod belts go faster than the GDI belts.

The GDI didn't approve of the use of lube on their belt bearings because it has tiberium in it.

For the record, I've seen many more complaints about Steam than standalone due to their version control system, and you'd have to deal with the Factorio website backend anyways in order to get your accounts all linked up, so I'd advise getting whatever key weirdness hashed out with the devs directly...

[...]Btw, my version of factorio doesn't allow you to connect wires to the boiler. What kinda stuff does it let you do when you do connect?

Boilers are still unwireable in vanilla 1.0. But jeez, what version are you using!? That boiler design is ancient!

[...]I think burner inserters should've taken coal from burner mining wheel even though they are not in front of drop point of them.. That's what long inserters do, don't they?

There are several burner drills, some of which are working. All the ones on the left side aren't working because the burner inserters are blocking the output tile. I don't see a bug. Compare the spacing of the top drill to the left drills.

[...] For the sake of illustration, lets say a train takes 10 track tiles to slow down 10 KPH. If it is traveling at 200 KPH, it will take 200 tiles to hit 0. Thus, it has to reserve that many signals ahead, and start breaking that far out. On the other hand, if it takes 5 tiles to slow down 10 KPH...

[...]Just make sure the cone doesn't touch the wall

Walls have 100% fire resistance, so it's fine if the cone touches; you'll just get a few singe marks.

This depends on what you're actually trying to accomplish here. If you want a way to send the coke train out when the solid fuel train returns, the most appropriate solution is to tell the coke train to leave its home stop on a circuit condition, and use an edge-finder circuit to send a pulse to tha...

It was jiggawatts, not gigawatts.

Rule #1 of Factorio: Automate All the things. If you're doing it yourself more then once, you're doing wrong.

Unfortunately, you can't automate expansion in vanilla. You'd need a grey goo mod for that.
