Factorio Forums

I know that a lot of People (Myself included) Don't fully like the advanced Logistic Chests that you can research because of how potentially loads of bots could kill the performance of a computer or server in Factorio especially when there is a lot of people on a world at once, or you just don't like them as an option.

So I feel like either for personal reasons if you don't like them or you don't want others to use them everywhere for performance reasons on a private multiplayer world or a public server (You would still be able to use personal logistics for supply and logistics trash). It would be off by default in all types of world presets but would be an option for people who want to use it.

This would also disable the auto request feature with rockets meaning you would have to belt items directly to the rockets rather than having Bots do it for you.

This would be completely optional and not exists by default in any world you could with presets made (Although a preset based around this like marathon is with the research multiplier would be pretty cool) but I feel like this as an option would be a nice thing to have.

Maybe a generic option, to disable a list of researches, or to disable crafting a list of items? It could even still show it in the game, but with a red line through it (or something), and a message "disabled by server settings".

Its specifically disables them being used in any way normally. They can't be crafted or researched at all. You can still use Logistic Bots for personal item stuff but not with any chests or rockets automatically.
