I never found the late game Beacon design to be all that exciting. I'm not sure this will make it more exciting. But this does make it different.

The two inserters behind the Foundry grabbing gears from on top of the Foundry look weird clipping through the Foundry graphic.

I think you neglected the fact that biters navigating around water will stay near the water’s edge, meaning cliffs along water are VERY helpful for defense

That is a lot of combinator logic connections to make the “generic” assemblers. Seems like it would be far easier to have multiple assemblers

What happens if you super force build on a belt at a corner where the belt direction changes? Belt still breaks I assume?

I see what you did there. Nice teaser.

I wish I would not have read this Friday Factorio Fact. It would have been much more fun to discover the planet while playing the game than to spoil the surprise!

But this looks really cool.

I like the new machines! But I notice the ear ratio is wrong on the new mining drill. When moving left/right, the little gears spin way more than they should for the amount of motion and the spacing/size of the teeth. You’d be grinding off gear teeth if they spin that fast.

Regarding rocket capacity:

Now you’ve identified the ignored problem of the player carrying multiple tons of equipment. I don’t want you to limit player inventory, but this is a major inconsistency.

The thruster animation ruins the realism of the space environment. If a thruster is constantly firing, the platform will be constantly accelerating (not just moving). Realistically, a thruster is only needed to achieve a change in velocity, meaning you fire the thruster to start moving, stop firing ...

Crusher animation

Really needs something to show whether or not something is currently being crushed. Add some bouncing debris or something. Even better, color it to match the output: blue for iron, black for coal, etc.

The shadow you want to fix next

Shadows overlapping neighboring entities are not distorted by the neighboring entities. The shadow is simply layered on top as if the neighboring entity were flat on the ground.

How do I fuel a train on elevated rails? How can I load and unload a train on elevated rails in general? Sounds like there is an upcoming FF telling me how to get resources to a higher level to load and unload trains.

Better names for quality:
Poor
Basic
Normal
Fair
Good
Well Made
Superior
Excellent
Exceptional
Masterful
Master Craft

I’m sure you can use these as inspiration to come up with better names for the quality levels. It really is not too hard to avoid the “rare” naming convention.

The new “trigger” technology unlocks brings the one feature I preferred from Satisfactory into Factorio. This will make the game so much more manageable for a casual player like me! Great change!

Love this mod, thanks! But I notice that darkness surrounds me as soon as I go into a car, train, etc. Any chance to make the same modifications to the lighting settings of vehicles?
