Well, the thread topic confused me as I thought you were speaking about rail signals when you meant the circuit network. Which just gave me an idea... what if we could wire railway signals to the circuit network? I should in theory, be able to stop a train from following its schedule if it doesn't h...

2. Construction bots from Roboport will only fly out one per report job (maybe intended? but would have been cooler if multiple fly out to repair faster if they were available.) I agree. The sum of bots sent to repair an entity should equal the sum of repair packs needed to repair it. If you would ...

I don't really see the problem with where the game is installed or where saves are. User data should go with the user's profile. It's the same with Linux and other OS's. Every Windows user has the required NTFS rights to read/write to their own profile folder. UAC is only an issue during install, an...

Huh?

This is one of the things I look forward to when I get out of bed Saturday mornings!

Please do not edit out your questions. Answers are great but they are sometimes useless without questions and others could learn from the question and how it is being answered. Rather put [Solved] in the subject.

With the oil industry coming there will be more need than before for disposing of unwanted stuff (oil is split into three separate products and maybe not all of them the player can use at the time - and the storage is limited). So eventually (though probably not 0.9) a garbage disposal will be intr...

One idea I always had was some sort of automated vehicle network. Example: Trucks would have AI drivers and could be given a schedule like trains are. The "stations" would be depots and would have parking bays the trucks would park to load/unload. While the AI would have some path-finding ...

I like this. It would help create more humble beginnings in the game instead of progressing to these big steam engines so quickly.

I know 0.9 isn't out yet but I anticipate wanting this :) Blue-prints are going to give us a way to build very quickly. But right now, mining your own buildings ( especially walls! ) is slow when you have many you would like to clear. The suggestion is to make construction bots capable of mining. NO...

combined with a little bit faster recharging should help. Make it a research! And if you guys are hesitant to add research to the game, just make it expensive. One last thing: what do you , the developers, think what the load the bots should be able to handle is? Do you expect them to be able to co...

Add how how much electricity an entity draws when idle to its viewable stats (and also speed modules into account if they affect it's idle power draw).

Thanks.

EDIT: It practice, it's rather limited. If you want to extend the production of something then copying a chest you placed some time ago is still wanted.

Why is the cargo wagon's capacity about a fifth of the car's?

I think it should be the other way around!

One thing I have begun doing recently is to separate my production at an ore level. For example, circuit board production gets its own copper ore. I have done this because I find that even express belts struggle to move things fast enough. Also, all those insert transfer bonuses go to waste. So now ...

Great!

Allow us to copy settings from one entity to the next. For example, multiple smart inserters that need to be set the same. The player can set one and then copy-paste its settings to the others quickly.

Some other entities: assemblers, requester chests.

It's funny, wood actually provides energy faster than coal.

Mining one big tree gives you 16kJ whereas coal will only give you 8kJ, all things being equal.

I'm guessing this would be cool if we could grow trees in stock.

Hmmmmm

Try to place a port somewhere else and then destroy the other port. Most, if not all, of the bots will stop and dock with the other.
