Pipette has a deep deep flaw that I have discovered after (too) many hours of this beautiful game.
The problem is, 'Q' is not used by any other software (AFAIK) to select the thing under the mouse. Muscle memory has ruined all other software for me:
- My recording software uses Q for quantize, so now all my loose jazz is perfectly "on the grid" and doesn't swing anymore.
- All other games where you can select the item under the mouse with some keypress, I now have to bind to Q or they are literally unplayable.
- Even the bog standard Windows desktop doesn't use Q for anything. I'm willing to change OS to alleviate this problem if anyone has any suggestions?
Possible solutions...
1. Stop using other software.
Pros - factory runs all the time because computer have no other purpose.
Cons - what if I need to send email to nana?
2. Force all other software to use Q the correct way.
Pros - finally some consistency.
Cons - very difficult.
3. Change something in Factorio.
Pros - ....
Cons - foolish and wrong. Factorio should not have to change, Factorio is not the issue here.
If anyone else has similar problems, or effective solutions, please let me or the devs know, because this is a very serious problem for serious people x
