I sure hope so

When in doubt,it's later, not earlier.

Would it be possible to override the default UI with something else entirely?

I am not all talk and no doing. I continue to persist and work on my mod..

#2

Finally created a list of all player built entity within a certain distance. The radius is only 1, but that will change later.

Started work on GUI. Right now, all I have is a button that float when near a repairChest.

You beat me to the punch!

But I wouldn't use radars as surveillance method. I got my own idea. In fact, it would be a whole set of game mechanic.

First, I need to finish my initial mod project.

+1 great idea

Separate continent and actual rivers please!

If vehicles had modules (and perhaps an innate module energy generator) they would valuable all game and well worth the low investment to get. Vehicles would work GREAT with the personal roboport because they have a huge inventory, the potential for laser defense/shields, and can slide around on co...

Don't forget that a vehicle roboport can use the vehicle's inventory. This means hauling twice the goods or more, since the player's inventory gets loaded down with other stuff. And if you place it on a conveyor belt the whole thing can MOVE. Plus shields plus automatic turrets if it uses suit modu...

I never really taken full advantages of blueprint in large scale due to how finicky it is to use them. Anything that improves the usability is a big plus in my book.

If it was in any way efficient, it would had been done quite a bit ago IRL.

The personal roboport looks amazing, but running dozens of free energy drones from the player instead of a dedicated drone vehicle seems kinda cheaty. There's no way a suit can generate power of that magnitude! But then again we're talking about a player inventory that can hold enough rocket defens...

The natives currently have no anti air capability. They will not be able to threaten a plane unless they attack the support infrastructure underlying it all.

What you need is a gantry structure. Simply walk overhead, rather than trying to make railroad crossing works.

With modular vehicles, a dedicated mobile construction vehicle is basically m00t since you can build a mobile construction vehicle by using the right modules. Yes! :-D Modular vehicles! I still want a transforming vehicle! OP's post has an important point: we need a lower tech, non-powersuit availa...

As a player, the wait is just agonizing! I know you guys are keeping up the good work though. What are the developers' thought on rolling releases ala Firefox and Chrome? As a player, I love to see more frequent releases, but on the other hand the reward must be smaller because they don't pile on du...

So you're suggesting a teleporter which runs on fuel? Interesting :) Next thing you know you get co-op games where each team-mate is on their own island, containing only a fraction of resource types. This is probably something they planned. In one of the levels of the campaign you're supposed to bu...

I never heard of a tank having a submachine gun mounted on it though. Don't they mount something like a 50 caliber machine gun?

It looks like one of those thing that should belong in a bigger mod.

I love the mobile construction vehicles from the command and conquer series. Would love to see it here in factorio as well. However, I don't think it makes much sense and would require readjustment and rebalancing to make it worthwhile? Why it doesn't make sense: * Personal roboport makes the idea b...

Here's my take on the matter. From this thread I think it's clear that what were looking for it some sort of bulk, on demand, single use system. I agree that having a rocket delivery system us a bit too much like a teleport, its not in the factorio spirit to expect things delivered instantly. Here'...
