The priority thing does look odd. I used to have one copy of each relevant building in my inventory and just place blueprint ghosts of them, so I don't need to refill my inventory again and again. Is this unavailable with the new behavior? Another scenario is when I have plenty of belts in the inven...

wait... are you telling that stations will be able to accept a train, stuff it as you desire and send the train to a station, where the station can be picked with a custom logic? WANT!!

lol, will you pull that silo out of your pocket like other buildings?

Current limiting factors in Factorio I can think of: 1. Tech tree, includes some of the below 2. Total resources you spent on researching 3. Resources per minute that you can mine, excluding resources spent on researching 4. Resources per minute that your transportation infrastructure can handle 5. ...

well it the thing is not new thats one thing, but there are not many suggestions in the post, are there

So what does the research do for the game mechanics? 1. It unlocks stuff. Most items are not available for you until *something* happens. In case of Factorio, something is the research. But look at things like Minecraft or Dwarf Fortress. There is no research in these games, yet until the endgame th...

... what ? I was talking about spanning trees from graph theory, you can place your stuff wherever you want, it's just a visual representation that minimizes the number of lines drawn.

Just wondering... for roboports, why not just draw a spanning tree (or a spanning tree + convex hull if bounds are THAT important) instead of triangulation?

If you know, how it works (or would works), why do you go to the heart of the nest? And if I don't? What happened to the famous Factorio Experimentation? Well, I have just underestimated biters, big times. How many times did you die to big worms? You all together with your friends Two players is mu...

maybe, their behavior can also be in their genes, so we can domesticate some biters for ourselves

but but but... what if you die in the middle of a biter nest. You will never have a chance to reclaim your corpse without proper research that you have just lost. No damage upgrades, no follower count, no way to rebuild your capsule army and no armor. And "multiplayer" does not automagical...

are refineries still take 5 components to assemble?

hmm, I can't move it to the mods suggestion forum, can I

Can we have an option to turn the realistic gfx off and use schematic instead? Similar to old versions flat buildings with black outline and solid fill. It would make it better for the eye (you can tell what the building is and what do assemblers assemble at a glance ) and make it playable on my lap...

It is not the bots who made the said layout possible: it is requester chests. So, instead of nerfing bots by breaking their wings or numbers per port or energy usage and what not (witch will result in MOAR ROBOPORTS and MOAR BOTS and MOAR POWERPLANTS), I suggest removing the abusive use of them. I s...

I want to click on a chest and get a stack from it without opening a GUI. Just like you can get half of the chest containing.

Love the idea. The pollution needs to be less abstract.
Although, assemblers come too early in the game for byproduct management, so maybe only oil related production should have this trait.
But then there is already so much piping around oil industry D:

There is a button to put half of the chest in your inventory. But what kind of number is a 'half'? I don't need half of my whole storage in the inventory, I just need a stack of inseters to keep going. Ok, maybe three stacks. If there is such a button, I am uber embarrassed. Please, share the knowle...

Lads and gents, may I present to you http://i.imgur.com/S1FZzym.jpg?1 *Ignore the suboptimal left side, focus on the center part* A simple blueprint is enough to add a new item in production: http://i.imgur.com/tGcDHvx.png All you need is configure the requester chest, the assembly machine and the s...

With only three colors nearly all types of overlapping can be set up. Why not make it 4 and have a fool-proof guarantee that every possibility is covered? (there is even a theorem about it.) I'm sorry, it may sound like a small detail, but I can't understand where did the 3 come from. It is not the...
