This may be a partial solution for your request, in cases where you want bots to place the item from your inventory because it isn't available in the network: put the item in the logistic trash slots and construction bots will pick it up from there. That is currently exactly what I do. Either that ...

I have noticed when factorio has to do a lot of calculations(like when raiding a large biter base with lots of destroyer drones), the speed of the "game engine" slows down. Is there any way to see the current speed? And, in addition, how can it be sped up? I ask because I have a large base...

I agree that there needs to be more diversification of threats on your factory. This would be a pretty good way to do it, although I dont know how this could be communicated to new players. Until I started watching lets-plays on youtube, I did not know that biters could build bases, much less that p...

It is not clear what you are suggesting, but I have a couple of replies: 1. If you think that you have TOO many blueprints, 0.13 will come with a blueprint book, a way to manage your blueprints. 2. If you want to receive the materials needed to construct a blueprint, why not just let your bots build...

This is a small behavior that I would like to add to blueprints on the ground. If I have a nice setup for the production of, say, circuits, and I want to double the size of it, I would use a blueprint and duplicate it. With all those nice blueprints on the ground, I cant place assemblers from my inv...

Like if I am duplicating a part of my factory I find that there sometimes happens to be a power pole or two in the way. This is just an annoyance with a "why?......" centered around it. I dont see any downside to allowing mining with blueprints in your hand. Also, how hard would it be to a...

This is quite simply a request to allow you to mine objects (like trees and belts) while holding a blueprint. I always find it annoying when I have to press 'q', mine thie single belt, and re-select the blueprint from my hotbar.

perhaps a different production screen focused on liquids?
even better, the ability to toggle different materials would be awesome.

For me, it was very different. For the first game, I played the first campaign map and was surprised by the sudden end. I was hooked and wanted more. For the second game, I started a freeplay map and barely got science pack 2 before a stated a new game. Every game since then, I build bigger and big...

Being able to see the full list is more important than looking pretty.

However, the point will be a little moot when the tech tree system is implemented.

Perfectly said.

I would like this, although I dont know how it would be implemented. If you graphed the current capacity next to the production of like, say, your solar panels, the accumulator graph will be so high that it would turn the steam engine line into a squiggle at the bottom.

'Random' Explosions? Sure! I am all for this idea.

Something to add- An explosion from a tank should be powerful enough to trigger another explosion from neighboring tanks, causing massive damage to your oil processing area.

Someone should make a mod for this; I know a lot of indie early-acess video games where a fan-made mod later is added to the base/stock/vannila game. Kerbal Space Program comes to mind.

I really like the longer post- I would love to see more FFF like it.

No, actually, it was pretty fun. re-playing this over and over was weirdly fun and non-grindy. Hitting a single tree could mean that you fail, which was part of the motivation I think.

I was playing factorio, and went exploring to the north. I quickly got overwhelmed and placed some emergency turrets to cover me. right then is when the game autosaved. :o I think I re-loaded that autosave about 15 times to try to get back to my factory in the south. So here is the "custom map&...

I would love gamepad support.

You can see the current max amount by hovering your mouse over the icon displaying how many bots you currently have deployed.

I have a bug to report- if there is a mod in the .../fmm/[modpack name]/ directory that has a info.json that only contains {} or is blank/empty, the FMM process runs but the window does not pop up. Very frustrating.

Also, a way to enable all/none of the mods in a single modpack would be really nice.

Yeah, basically.
