That's a great idea! One problem with my idea is that it is hard to count large amounts of items. With your solution you can measure the belt throughput. I like it alot!

Hi everyone, as 0.12 is making combinators available for use i thought what use they might have. When I started the game long ago I envisioned my factory as something where the "raw" items are coming in on one belt and the "final" item is coming out. In between I envisioned one a...

With the addition of the combinators I tried to put only the needed items on the belt that are needed for its production. So for a standard circuit assembly in my case i would need 3 copper and 2 iron to produce 2 circuits each production cycle. The key point is the implementation of a resetable loo...

I have to admit that I'm not using the Multiplayer feature at all and thus it is quite unimportant for me. Therefore I would like to see a 0.12 single player release (mutliplayer greyed out or so) to test/play with the new and interesting new features. Benefits would be: 1. I would be able to play ;...

I would like this type of power plant as part of the base game.

You can do this with smart chest + smart inserters. Not really. This way you can only control the amount of 2 or 3 different items within in your chest. With reserved slots you would be able to create a "slow belt" which would make distributing a variety of not so often used goods within ...

Hi all,

I would like to be able to reserve slots in a chest for a defined item like it is already done in your inventory or the train waggon. I think that would open new and interesting possibilities for the construction of our assembly areas.

I like it!

But to be even more usefull I suggest to add the amount of items needed and the basic production speed of that item.

I like the general idea to build a space ship and to ship goods with it. But I have to admit that I'm a bit on the line if I like the "get rich" aspect or not. On the one hand it's a very logical aim for a human beeing, but you as a player wouldn't have much from it. So the "money&quo...

The greatest difficulty in making end-game content is that many people have different opinions on what "proper" and "fun" end game is like. I think you can define 4 category's of gamers who are playing factorio: 1. The peaceful gamer who finds joy in defending the base from alien...

I realy like your website and will definetly use it!

Map generation string - stores seed and settings for sharing map conditions. Clipboard copy & paste (useful for map generation string, updater username, updater password). Station names can be changed in the train stop gui. Burner inserter will use item with fuel value for itself when it has em...

Has anyone foung out how the map seed string is working? I mean where can I find the string to share it?

And how to the filters for the cargo waggon work?

Good luck for the release next week and try to get some sleep in between :) When you have time, could you give us some more information on (If time allows!) more circuit logic (circuits for electricity, trains, liquids, etc.) ? Especially what do you mean with "circuit logic" in detail? I ...

Nice work! Someone capable should put those in the wiki

Nice base.
So all the items in your actual production line are transported by logistic bots?

I just wanted to give my guide a little bump, so that new players might get some inspiration for their games!

Nice trailer!

And I never thought that you could run over aliens with the train and killing them with it guess I have to give it a try somewhen as some sort of "advanced" base defense

I realy hope that the devs thought of something like this when they posted the following item in their roadmap:

(If time allows!) more circuit logic (circuits for electricity, trains, liquids, etc.)

Wow, great! So the PushMePull train is actually reversing its direction after a train stop so you don't need track loops to turn the train around? This didn't come for free and we had to spend quite some time to make this work. Maybe we should "advertise it better" in a way of tips and tr...
