wishlist: add 5 percent and 95 percent limited versions of the overflow and top-up valves. I use them for a number of fully passive "reserve" sources of fluids, such as steam. Fully passive, no power required, is a pretty important part of the whole deal because these are there to ensure p...

It is a real big problem that there are no fluid icons on the underground junctions. The problem is that I have around 200 different fluids and hundreds of fluid networks. It is really amazingly hard to follow the flow if there are no icons on the junctions. It is also next to impossible to find th...

Aye I figured it would be a problem should I somehow publicly release it, but I didn't plan to. All good, ended up being too big of a project and there arent any animations available for certain things anyway. Anyway, was a cool thought. Mostly, it turns into a problem for the developers hosting th...

As the subject says, is it possible to make a inv<->inv (1x1) loader? I think https://mods.factorio.com/mod/miniloader will do what you want. (Technically they are very fast inserters rather than loaders, but they function like loaders). They are very fast inserters exactly because of what they wan...

Requestor - https://imgur.com/CBgrxIj Requested item should be negative number If the OP installs the LTN GUI, it'll show what is requested (red) and provided (green) at each station. This is an easy way to check what LTN sees as the state of the system, and hopefully will help them with the next r...

So what am I supposed to do with all the surpluss copper on the map?

You don't have to mine it, so if you don't want it, you can just ignore it.

Install one of the many mods that give you an "ore eraser", and delete the offensive copper ore.

The "train bridge" module people using the fact that collisions don't happen when bounding boxes don't overlap are going to be *so* disappointed.

Keep in mind that he is the ONLY one that lags on my home server (a couple of my buddies besides him just spent over 100 hours on a map hosted by my home server). The internet is more like city blocks than a set of tubes. It sounds to me like his packets pass through a few bad intersections between...

Yeah, that's not what I'm seeing at all. I have 2 stations with the same name. They have circuit wire connections, but only for "Send to train" function - no enable/disable. But any train pointed at that station name insists on going to only one of the two locations from my main base (the...

You probably want the pre-written version of it, https://mods.factorio.com/mod/regenerate-terrain edit: Possibly combined with https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ChangeMapSettings ...or just to start a new map, TBH. I don't know why you chose that strategy, but I don't think it is really necessary to use...

Looks like you can deconstruct everything but tiles for some odd reason. Anyone aware of a way to remove them in the editor?

Does holding the tile in your hand, and using "deconstruct", work?

If I may, I'd suggest a small number of improvements to your designs: If you have two concrete walls with a gap between they will deliver the same amount of slowing down, but they will not be vulnerable to the "bite through" attack from the biggest bugs. That means it'll actually slow them...

There are all sorts of mods that cover what you're talking about. After a quick search, I found these: Cargo Ships - cargo ships (actually trains on water) Beautiful Bridge Railway - trains over water Land Mover - shovels to dig up land and put it down elsewhere Platforms - platforms to allow you t...

I can't say if your netcode is better than WoW's, but at least your bugfixing is so much better. I know that... *blinks against speck of dust* Because it uses UDP, it is, in context. ...but, remember that scale makes a difference, too. If Factorio had 14 million active players and about as many yea...

Are you suggesting deaf players shouldn't be able to play the game either because they cannot hear it? They can simply install PulseAudio, even if they won't use it. Again, PulseAudio is installed by default on every modern distro, so for the majority of people that means they don't have to do anyt...

I was trying to avoid this lazy solution but is appears to be necessary. I can't fix compatibility with all mods, so i just made compatibility problems less severe. ...and here I was, just about to drop a bit of code that says "do not ever use these tiles, specifically", which also fixes ...

The mod author expressly forbids people to adopt his mod, so this is unlikely to happen until the author changes his stance. Looks abandoned to me. You may not distribute a modified version, or even an unmodified version, in any way, full stop. You can't even upload an unmodified version to the for...

TL;DR There are a handful of regular deconstruction and upgrade choices I make. It would be nice to be able to save those, as I save blueprints, so I don't have to painfully reconstruct them every time I want to use them. What ? Examples of filters that are annoying to build: I hurt myself by using...

I feel like I'm going crazy. Did I miss something? I used to have setups where multiple train stations had the same name and trains would go to the first available/unblocked station of the same name. In my first playthrough with 0.17 (currently 0.17.53), this behavior is not longer the same. Trains...

https://mods.factorio.com/mod/rail-bridge This interchange has no shared rail blocks unless two trains share an entry or exit point. Any two trains can enter at the same time and proceed at full speed unless their path in or out coincides. This is effectively placing (part of) the train on a separa...
