Agreed. Yes please!

Also, ssilik, You are completely right.

That is how I envision smart spliters being, just with working graphics.

Please improve the animation of your main character: shooting, running, getting hit, weapon's fire effects, etc. Look up the rogue class in Wakfu for inspiration, or the Foggernaut. The alien animations would be nice too. I almost think not too, if only for the reason that that "silly" an...

I am sure that this has been suggested before, I appoligise to ssilk if it has

Simply, a spliter in which you can configure it to split certain items to the left, and others to the right. For some reason it has always bothered me that inserters were the only smart thing in the game

That would just be really annoying. Plus it would take much longer for the feature to actually be implemented.

Your definition of cyborg is wierd then.

Lets stay politically corect here- "Your definition of a cyborg is DIFFERENT then."

THAT, good sir, is what I call a challenge map.

I agree that there should be a better way to see what is in the logistics system. Perhaps a nice window like the production screen ("P"), brought up by another key? (perhaps "L"??)

I would be up for this. It would make for some interesting base layouts and calculator displays.
Can I guess that you are grabbing the idea from modded Minecraft ME mod?

I haven't yet purchased the game (only due to me being slow to get stuff together for PayPal) but I have spent several hours with the demo on both the 0.11.22 and 0.12.10 versions and I have some feedback regarding gameplay found in those three levels. Welcome to the forums! Always nice to have mor...

If you look at the intermediate products you're likely to use routinely, that's Iron plates, copper plates, steel bars, gears, electronic circuits, advanced circuits, and pipes. That's 7 items. Most other intermediate products are things that craft quickly and disappear (iron sticks, wood planks), ...

cool thank you!!! now how about keeping trains on the main track? anyway to keep them off the side tracks? As long as your "main line" is shorter then your "side line", your train(s) will stay on the main line. If the "side line" is shorter though, the train will take ...

Yes please. Not only will it allow more flexibility with displays and whatnot, we will be able to make even MORE space-efficient designs, because we will not need room for power poles

Plot twist. We are android sent in advance to planets that can sustain life to prepare it for the colonization before any colonist arrive. Or how about an advanced robotic explorer to prepare the world for occupation of hand-writing robots, all named Turry? (Gotten from here, highly recommended rea...

Could you get this working with the mod that takes a screenshot of the entire map? Could you link me to the mod you are talking about? After about 10 minutes of searching, I found it: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=92&t=14582 This mod doesn't simply create "screenshots&q...

I posted this here to try to start a discussion, not an info-grab

So who are we playing as, anyway? Does this person have a name? Perhaps stephen? How did stephen get onto the planet he is on? by drop capsule? Where is the wreckage?

I see that space-platform as the next option after the "normal" artillery. I mean "normal artillery" as some kind of bigger turret, standing on ground, needs ammunition and systematically destroys enemies in range. It's a late game (before space platform) thing. The "platfo...

And I should always carry around an entire stack of underground pipes and pipes for the case that I need them? I dont think so. So that's the tradeoff you've decided to make. Instead of giving up one inventory slot for pipe, you choose to wait around while hand-crafting them. Your choice, but somet...

I agree with (most) of this, and would love to see something like this in the next update.
On another hand, how about a research that can never be completed? That will allow for you to keep your science factory running for far after you finish all of the research.
