I love the belts so much!
Don't try to go too fast when developing the game. After all, you can't rush perfection.
But please don't forget the Spidertron! I've wanted to have one ever since I saw it in the FFF #120.

One might think this the greatest betrayal of all. Where once your factory served you, now you served your factory for an ever more elusive promise of ever greater power. It is no longer an extension of you, but you an extension of it. And now, that simple iron pickaxe that formed the basis of your...

Keep the pickaxe, remove the tedium from it. I agree: The pickaxe should be kept but the durability mechanic should be removed. After all, guns are also tools and yet they don't have any durability. Sure, it can be argued that ammo is essentially durability but it's not; it's ammo. I agree on both ...

I've been thinking about the damage type streamlining and I have some thoughts to share: Kovarex suggested 4 damage types: generic, impact, heat, and acid. One think I like about this is that "fire" is changed to "heat" --when you think about it, there are some non-flammable subs...

TL;DR: The assembling machine ingredient limits are good because they help give a sense of game progression. Now that I think about it, the assembling machine ingredient limits are very useful for game progression. Please don't remove them. (In this argument I will abbreviate "assembling machi...

About the resistances: can there be an option to show ALL resistances, even for non-fight related entities? And can all fight-related entities show resistances by default? (walls/gates, turrets, tanks, maybe cars) If new players don't see resistance values they may think that said entity has no resi...

What I was trying to say is that "Ghost entities" aren't "real." They don't exist in any physical sense. You can't do anything with them. They only represent a place where you will eventually place a real entity. Ghost entities are also formed when any entity is destroyed and yo...

There should be variants of many achievements that require either marathon mode or harder enemies. This gives the player an incentive to try each game mode.

Even the green ones are the only electronics boards used in some stuff like inserters wich obviously does pretty advanced sensor data processing - of the sort that will change the world as soon as we get it in real life. Yellow inserters can reliably pick up any item from a moving sushi belt - no w...

I come in 7 colors, what am I?

An insterter, obviously.

Now that I think about it, also science packs & non-empty barrels fit the bill

I do see why roboports have the slots--they have them so construction robots can repair things quickly & easily--but 7 slots!? Really? 1 is enough. Please. I hate having to place hundreds of repair packs in when all I really need is 20 or so. So: 4-i would like to read the content from a single ...

Can't you use the up and down keys to go through the console history? Or was that not what you were referring to?
Also, if you can find player-data.json you can read your complete console history.

An idea from a different angle, what about late game tutorials and blueprints? ... There are a couple late game things (especially with combinators) that are unintuitive or hard to understand, but mostly useful late game. Tutorials? Yes! Things like combinators and advanced late-game setups may war...

Put it in the options menu: so players could get that feature if they want it, but others who don't like it don't have to use it.

Good idea! +1

Belt Immunity

Does that "stabilizer" only apply when standing or do we also loose the "running on belt" speed bonus?

With belt immunity equipment, you will also lose the belt highway speed bonus.

Hmmm...I'd prefer for the research to be: 1) Non-infinite so that it doesn't bloat the savegame size with faraway chunks 2) Combine 3 effects: increase radar discover area, increase radar permanent view area, increase scanning speed. This way I wouldn't have to worry about multiple researches: it's ...

Wow. I appreciate all the thought & care you put into making Factorio so user-friendly. Thank you.

Why would the shadows in the train preview be any different from other shadows?
