Control center to avoid player stuck at obstacles

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Control center to avoid player stuck at obstacles

Post by imajor »

It would be great if the player could build some kind of control center in the middle of the main factory (or big outposts). I find it a bit annoying that I constantly got stuck at pipes/buildings when moving around in the base. The player could enter the control center, and while inside, it could build/modify parts of the factory which is inside a given radius.

Or maybe control and fly around with a little robot so you can go easily go over pipes within that control center range.
In Factorio, we are actually the bad guys. We are attacking the biters on their own planet, destroying their homes. They are trying to stop us, but without succes...


Time for some diplomacy...

The command center has been on the list for the long-term goals for months now.
Does nobody else read the main page?

I made the Command Control mod for this very reason :)

Or you can just switch into God-Mode. Moved to not implement. :)
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.
