I'm not happy about it either but to say Factorio was rushed is pretty funny. It was rushed. The Factorio devs wanted to release it before Cyberpunk 2077 was. Then 2077 got delayed repeatedly. Wonder if the Factorio devs ever kick themselves about it. Source: https://factorio.com/blog/post/fff-349 ...

TL;DR Let splitters be connected to circuit and logistics networks for automated control. What ? Imagine being able to set a splitter to change input or output priority or filtered item based on set circuit signals or logistics network conditions. I see this working by allowing for 3 signals to be ...

(Why would inventory be needed to look at inserters and combinators on the ground anyway? There is no function there at all). Inserters have items in hand. With this new GUI you can take items out of the hand of an inserter that got stuck and cannot drop its item. Combinators don't have an inventor...

Just more proof that the Factorio devs are the greatest devs ever. Love you all!

The GUI is designed for 1920×1080 px screens or larger. If your screen is smaller, you're supposed to use a lower UI scale. That said, there is a bit of space at the bottom, so I'll see if I can move the description to the bottom to show a little bit more of the grid. But no matter what, at that sc...

+1, consistency in the GUI is important

Basically, Factorio needs a Computercraft (minecraft mod) equivalent. Maybe like creating a custom script and injecting it into a combinator.

+1, nice QoL feature

+1. There is indeed no ingame indication of how much progress one rocket part gets; only trial and result.

Yes, please. I found myself trying to do this earlier...

even though I can see that it's a bit troublesome to figure out a way to allow programming such a highly configurable item as a splitter. Seems simple with a bit of thought. A splitter could accept 5 inputs, 1, 2, A, B, (item type). 1/2 would be left/right input priority, A/B would be left/right ou...

TL;DR: I changed my mind. There is this parallel thread in https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=80501 And Ambaire posted something which makes suddenly a lot of sense to me: I don't really see the problem here. Suppose a train stop is set to allow 1 2-4 train to path there, with enab...

I don't really see the problem here. Suppose a train stop is set to allow 1 2-4 train to path there, with enabled condition of ore > 8000. There are 4 trains waiting in a stacker near the ore unload. The train stop opens up, and one train paths there. The other three wait, since the limit of 1. The ...

This is a result of having fuzzy search turned on, you can turn it off in the settings.

Thanks, but how the hell does fuzzy search get copper wire from searching uranium ?!?

What did you do? I searched the Production log for Uranium What happened? In addition to Uranium ore, U-235 and U-238, copper wire, rails and repair packs also were listed. What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway! I expected only Uranium ore, U-235 and U-2...

The high pitched jiggle effect is unpleasant, to say the least, and hurts my ears a bit...

The item icons looking minimalistic is fine by me given they're kinda, well, minimal by nature. I mean, you don't want a lot of details on things that appear en masse on belts and in cramped inventory grids. In fact, one of the worst offenders on this front had been the old battery redesign, which ...

I can't exactly say why, but the new landfill sound is vaguely disturbing on a deeply psychological level...

gives me the heebie jeebies, to be honest

Changes Crafting machines will now refund item ingredients when crafting is cancelled before finishing. At last! Thank you! I remember some crazy arguments about this over the years ... It should work the other way. It shouldn't return the items ever. To punish every single player that plays the ga...
