Sounds interessting, but I also don't think it's possible atm to implement the part with the overlapping zones.

Yes.

Linux and OSX share the makefile. Windows uses its own VS build system.

Have you tried using cmake? It can generate makefiles for unix systems and for windows, what windows uses.

No, since then the storage chests will be filled with stuff that should'd not have been taken out of the provider chest.

You could also fork a process for saving the files.

Hm you need to make inserters and these require 3 inputs.

This sounds like what logistic robots should do, moving stuff around, so yeah this is a good idea.

No what I mean, is that you can configure, if the chest should act as requester or provider (on an per item base).

Requester Carriage is available from the begining, I think this is a bug

Logistic Chests should be configurable (e.g. for an requester chest just configure request the item x), so you would not end up crafting zillions of chest for nothing. Also this would enable us to use on chest for request and provider. -- I found the explanation and subject from Zeques below more us...

What I really miss is the quote button for post, maybe it's just me being blind, but it's so usefull.

I'd like to have an option to get along with the aliens, without killing them. Since I think factorio is about building a factory not about killing the aliens.

Hm, why does factorio not strip version numbers away?

MisterSpock, I have the same problem on linux, so haven't done anything wrong.

Try using rail signal every x tiles, so when you zoom out a bit, you'll be able to see if a train is coming or not.

I really like the new player model, but I’d love to have multiple colors to choose from.

I also think that's the way to go, maybe the same should be done for mods.

I also like the idea, because it adds so many new and cool possibilities into the game, which enhance the gameplay.

Yesterday I faced exactly this need, so I'm in favour of this.

Get your self an fusion reactor, they are way better than the solar panels.

And upgrade the batteries.

Also I suggest getting rid of the night vision and only attack biters at day.

And get yourself Capsules and an high follower robot count.
