Right now, those white boxes show up any time you're placing something near tracks. Seeing them at other times seems a bit redundant to me.

For the intiial loading screen, leave the tip up below the main menu.

For loading into a game, add a "Ready" button to dismiss the tip and unpause the game.

I think the tips & tricks could benefit from a better browser. Right now they're all just crammed in a sequence and finding a specific one was tedious. A list or tree view beside the tips would improve it, IMO, especially if more tips & tricks get added to it. I would love to see something ...

Roboports consume power and when out of power disconnect from the logsitic network and will no longer dispatch robots. This may not be working exactly right. When I add a new Roboport, even before I start supplying it with power, it causes robots to be dispatched from other roboports to the territo...

The same thing happened to me last night with the rocket silo. Got it all up and running making rocket parts, then realized I needed solar panels and accumulators for the satellite.

It feels pretty weird when recipe dependence doesn't match research dependencies.

Any idea when I'll be able to test this out on the experimental build?

That would be a good idea, a wagon to defend the train. I was thinking a way to transport the cars and tanks, and allow the player to use the weapons of those vehicles. With this we can transport vehicles and have a player controlled defenses. This feature could bring a lot of fun. I really want a ...

But you need copper ore, iron ore, coal... so you have to run first between the deposit patches, and if there are woods between them, it's horrible. You get stuck again and again. The first recipe that requires coal is either hand grenades or plastic. Either way, you'll have electric mining drills ...

I would still prefer you prevent it from happening by linking the achievements file to the Steam account.

Bamboo is a grass ;-) There's no reason to believe the trees of Factorio are NOT grass, but more likely, they're nothing even remotely related to our terrestrial trees, grasses or anything else. They look like trees, so we call them trees. And we can get something like wood from them, but we don't ...

Woods can be horrible at the beginning, when you still dig ore with your hands. Why would you do that? The only time I ever dug ore with my hands was when doing the Lazy Bastard achievement. In a normal start, you have enough iron plates to make two basic pickaxes. Use those to clear enough trees t...

TL;DR Some actions should be allowed while the game is paused in single player. What ? While the game is paused, a limited set of actions should still be allowed. These would be actions that don't require any time for the avatar to complete, including travel time. Exception: Any action with a timer...

Every FFF makes me more impatient for 0.16. I've seen a lot of folks asking when 0.16 will be out, but I feel like that might be the wrong question. When will 0.16 be available as an experimental version so we can start finding bugs? I mean, 0.15 was available as the experimental version from April ...

I say: So what? Don't do that. and if you do then undo it or add more power poles. Not being able to upgrade power poles is worse than a few rare accidental downgrades. It's costly in both time and resources. Really annoying when you have strung signal wires. I absolutely agree. That's what he mend...

Unless the devs say they designed it to work differently than it does, it doesn't fit the definition of a bug. It's just counter-intuitive design. A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to be...

If you're only interested in clearing wood for a path, not harvesting wood, grenades are a great tool. I had to do a lot of it in my current run.

Grenades are available sooner than the car (typically) and even at the base damage level, 2 will clear a nice wide space.

If this isn't a duplicate, I'd be amazed. It seems like an obvious feature to ask for. Not necessarily one to implement, since it's a huge game balance issue. Some trees can get pretty big in one year. Bamboo is even faster than that. No idea what kind of trees might grow on an alien planet, but ass...

Seems like you're missing a lot of information. What's a "burrow"?

Maybe try using the template here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=47316

I'm pretty sure that depends on what you mean by bidirectional. If you have a red underground belt, you can downgrade it to yellow, even if that breaks the belt because of length. (Done that one more than a few times!)

I have few questions because I'm working on a megabase and I want to know exactly what to do. A nuclear reactor how many heat exchanger can feed at max? It varies! https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/67xgge/nuclear_ratios/ And the steam can be stored in storage tanks? Yes! And it's incredibl...
