@Zeblote: Only if the recipes are added as 'allowed' to productivity modules. Which will not be the case by default (i.e. it would have to be done intentionally).

Perhaps a special form of signal combinator that specifically monitors bots in roboports and in flight? It would a specialized in that regard, so giving it more options such as "bots waiting to charge", "bots in use", "bots idle", etc. could be useful. At the very least...

.... I'd like to throw my considerable fat squishy weight behind this. Evolving nests and entities that can change into other types of entities if pollution / evolution breaches a certain point would be a great boon for making biters scale better. And I suspect it would be less development effort t...

Something that can help and might be more easily implemented is to keep synchronized saves on all clients. What I mean is: When a save is done, the save occurs on all clients (in the multiplayer game), then when loading, the game starts paused after the load. (i.e. no simulation or ticks occur after...

@bobingabout had a similar issue at some point with his gems ore (that produces multiple outputs with probabilities). He fixed it by giving his miner more storage slots. storage_slots = 6, Note: Miner storage slots are not visible in game, but do exist. The reason being, that miners only have 1 stor...

Interesting suggestion. Well written to :) It's more of a suggestion and not a mod interface request though. I was a bit unsure, but ended up posting here given that I wasn't asking for any new entities or content, just engine functionality. What performance issues did you experience with the large...

Perhaps this should be mentioned in the demo, so that people can know it is possible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine The stirling engine design is a closed loop system, meaning that the fluids used to convert the heat to electric energy are not lost (i.e. not vented.)

Similar ideas already mentioned here https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=78772#p78772 by @Factoruser. Currently container entities have a property inventory_size that determines how many 'slots' the container has. Proposed is that it is expanded in the following fashion: intentory = { ...

With regards to specialist research... It would be nice if 'this-OR-that' choices are present throughout the technology tree, meaning that you have to specialize throughout. It would additionally be nice of the choices you didn't pick then move to the end of the tech tree so that you can still get t...

@bobingabout: It would be helpful if the following function could be added to the library for recipe functions: function bobmods.lib.change_recipe_item_amount (recipe, item, newAmount) for i, ingredient in pairs(data.raw.recipe[recipe].ingredients) do if ingredient[1] == item or ingredient.name == i...

New version 0.12.10 is uploaded. Changelog: Cost config files no longer have to specify multipliers for all possible research. Research tiers without specific multipliers are simply ignored. Changed science pack costs to use a more modular config approach. Should make more config options easier to i...

I have a question for you though; how would those robotic mines be different then a rocket launcher? Mainly I thought that the rocket launcher is limited in its rate of fire, while a swarm of these robots would make for a more viable 'hit-and-run' tactic, in that you can run in with a swarm, have t...

Mining robots would be epic. It would go a long way to helping the with creating a self-perpetuating blueprint. Some extra ideas for combat robots: Robotic Mine: Robot that runs at the enemy once in range and detonates. (Destructive, but single use. Prefers to target alien nests.) Gas Drone: Rushes ...

Thanks, got it now.

If you're just sugesting a filter, yeah, that would make sense. I think he just wants a clean list sent to the user telling them what their missing or what version of something they need. Green = match yellow = version miss match red = missing. Could be clean and neat :P Yes, I am suggesting a filt...
