Ordering docked bots

I have a feeling that this has already been suggested but searching revealed nothing. I am sure ssilk will be quick to point out if it has been ;) The problem: You have no direct control over where bots dock themselves. The suggestion is simple: allow us to order docked bots, that is, the bots which...

I was thinking just using little dots. Each module has three shades of blue, violet and green for the three levels. See attachment.

Chests for deconstruction become active providers

If you mark a chest with many items in it for deconstruction, you must wait for the construction bots to move all the items to storage or where there are orders. I have a strategy where I place active providers on these chests first so that the logistic bots clear them before deconstruction. Why not...

Re: Tips & Tricks

It's a good idea to put rail signals on the parts of a track that you will traffic across often, this will give you a heads up if a train is coming and spare you the annoyance of becoming railkill I do not think this is a good tip at all. Signals introduce more blocks and complications. The only ti...

Re: Friday Facts #39

Please do not let low level work slide because you are scared we are going to moan about lack of content. I want a stable and smooth game first, then content.

Re: Remove need for crafting (red/green) wires

Do you guys think things would be too easy if we had a arbitrary number of wireless channels for the circuit network? You could then choose which a smart chest (or logistic) is part of and set conditions for smart inserters as if they were on the same wire. It would be similar to how smart inserters...

As long as the peaceful route would take much more effort and cunning to achieve, I think it is fine.

I don't think you should remove their dang...
