Many suggestions after 340 hours of play

[Kast]

I absolutely love Factorio, i think its genius, i think it can be played academically.
I've clocked quite a number of hours in Factorio. Over the course of play I've written the following suggestions below.
I do realize there are mods for some of my ideas below, I also have never checked anyone elses suggestions

My Top Ideas
-----------
- Rather than combinators\deciders, I would love to see an actual in-game terminal you can build that you can write\select code! Think of a pip boy, or static terminal, raspberry pi, scratchx, etc
- Terminal also used for centralized management of things like, circuit networks..trains, security cameras. terminal has more centralized view/UI , control, mgt. Simplified control of circuit network calculations. Controlling production output by a centralized control panel.
- remote security cameras, Id like to see what is attacking my far away walls/turrets.
- Programmable \ Autonomous vehicles (mod)
- Robotic army, remote control from terminal, instruct an army to setup an entire base (blueprint) from far away


Map Improvements
---------
- Place Markers on Map
- Better Map Quality
- Personal Combat doesn't feel personal (better sounds\effect\gfx)
- more elaborate enemies\enemy bases


Power
---------
-Underground power (seriously)
-Better power control

UX
------
- Tooltips

Other
---------
- Lock a chest. Granular access controls to other players for chests/logistics network.
- Friendlier terms for complex things like electric network\power
- In game notepad
- Teleportation
- Certified mods, easy mod access/installation

Trains
---------
- nice to know how long a train has been at a stop, or, to be able to remotely see what contents it has
- Better colors of trains on map

Cosmetics
---------------
- I believe people would like to decorate their place (Parks, Trees, House, etc)
- I personally would like to see a friendlier/greener landscape option.

Multiplayer
---------------
In console last.login history multiplayer

Place markers on map: https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Supercheese/Map%20Ping

What do you mean "better map quality"? Which map (game map, world map, mini map?), and how would it's quality be improved?

Good suggestions, in general it would be more useful to split them up into single suggestions. See viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3394
Cause like so it's like dumping ideas anywhere in the hope, that they are read.
