What is nice about the 1x1 size? The solar panel next to it? It doesn't "align" with the other components available, at all. Having small components other than Solar panels creates a group of "small equipment" items to equip and prevents players from looking down at solar panels...

Another "my Impression so far" Post to provide some feedback: Settings: - Normal world - Biters tuned down about half each setting - Alot of forest in the starting area - No "big mods", only qol and logistic mods (like LTN) - About 110 hours in - Screenshot will follow when i am ...

This post will help you with some workarounds:

It's crazy expensive to run for what it is. Indeed. Costs would be much more reasonable it the power is only consumed when you stand on belts, though. Also, its nice that the size is 1x1, sadly there are next to no other Items to equip with a 1x1 size. Changes in both directions could help to impro...

Pollution is energy consumption based. Use efficency modules.

I did not know that, even with 500+ hours in factorio. Is that documented somewhere? How could i miss this information. I guess energy consuption == pollution is not communicated well...

If you enable the "show debug info in tooltip" option in the debug menu (F4) then you see the real entity name.

I have set this up in my debug settings so I can just use F5 to quickly enable and disable the enhanced tooltip if I need to know the exact name.

This is very helpful, thx.

The two standard implementations would be "pop up a dialog or something to select it from", and "type ':', then fuzzy matching on the names." Given the former is how Factorio does so much of this stuff, a button to insert the signal tag with a pop-up dialog akin to the combinato...

You can link the recipe by shift-clicking the crafting button, which I find quite useful just to remember what I am working on and what ingredients it takes (it shows the tooltips). Yes, it is not a perfect solution, but people tend to miss it completely, so I like to make sure that it is known. I ...

Looking up internal names for rich text is a pain, especially when using any locale other than English. This part certainly could be made a lot more user friendly.

Try Luzifers Rich Text Helper https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Rich_Text_Helper

will look into that, thx

Just shift click whatever you want the tag of when you have the console open and then copy pasta the resulting text from the console. YES!..... No. Not very helpful. FNEI sadly does not produce linkable results, and there are many examples you cannot shift click an item (e.g. you want to link a flu...

Hello guys. Got a Question about best practice of using ingame rich text. Setting: I want to flg all ingame train stations with a leading Icon corresponding to the stations contend. So, i use a tag like [item=iron-ore]. So far, so good. Also i know the corresponding wiki pages: https://wiki.factorio...

Amazing game, already sunk 500+ hours into it.

... And otherwise I totally agree, in 20hours + of playing this mod I have not disassembled once even... Well, i did. Its cool to be able to recycle stuff, that gives you a good feeling not to waste. But it turns yout a lot of stuff you get from the disassembler you cnanot put to use anymore. Coppe...

In Satisfactory things aren't so clear. Tractors are made from modular frames, beacons and rotors (one half of an eletric engine). I have no clue how one would make something drive-able from these components. They are only here to check of the player can craft / has automated those components. Late...

Normally the sever should just ask your friend if he wants to synchronize the settings with the server.

Ah, okay, thats what i expected to happen.

Hey there, ne win the Server hosting thing, and i have a question: Recently i got access to a factorio headless server and started to play around with it, so some friends and myself can play together. Here is the situation: Last Week i installed Deadlocks industrial Revolution (great mod btw) and re...

Found a minor bug (or inconvinience) The modded Chests are not in line with the existing ones, somehow. While showing a friedn of mine "the ropes" how to use the upgrade planner, i placed a wooden box on the ground. Selecting wooden boxes in the upgrade planner gives me only the option to ...
