I haven't played Factorio in a while, but I still stay up-to-date on the FFF's, and I haven't read anything about Gates recently. Are they finished and implemented or scrapped and forgotten?

You could just make a new map.

I think the tanks are really cool. Maybe the tank could have multiple weapons that can be switched to with Q. Tanks with multiple slots for other people to ride in. Driver. Gunner. Extra spot. The extra spot allows for the shooting of handheld weapons.

I'm thinking about trying to mod, but I wanted to know if I can use code from other mods. Maybe the authors wouldn't like it, but I'd ask first.

To give an example, the new Minecraft Launcher lets you make profile that can run different versions and mods. Some mods in Factorio conflict and some people might want to try an older/experimental version without fear of losing saves, and making backups and disabling mods is tedious, so I would lik...

I like the disk drive idea. I'd also like a very expensive Molecular Assembly Chamber that can autocraft. No more long lines of assemblers. Maybe a high tier Wireless Access Terminal that can request things from the logistics system. Or an entire new system would practically be an Applied Energistic...

Now I can have one Train to carry all my ores with no smart inserters either!

That happens to be exactly what I use. Apparently the MKI isn't very good.

I have the MK 1 armor, and I'm a while from Mk2, so I wanted to know the best setup, in everyway.

An underground layer for pipes and belts wouldn't solve much. Sure, they wouldn't be in your way, but you'd still have problems with them connecting to each other. Sure, you could just resurface before a crossover, but then you would still have pipes and belts above ground everywhere, where they wer...

Why not just make laser turrets like 5x harder to craft and have less health. 20 Steel + 15 Processing Units + 15 Batteries + 40 Iron Plates = 1 Laser Turret. They can only be crafted in Assembly Machine Mark 3's and take 10 Time to craft. I don't think this is a good solution, this would just make...

I totally agree. But even smarter enemies would also help. very often they only need to destroy a single electric pole to disable all turrets, but they are just not smart enough. Then again, they are conscious-less mutants who run around on 4 legs. Making them smarter is like making them human. Don...

I know that you press ~, but what can it do? I think it is some Lua programming thing but I'm not sure.

You'll need at least version 0.10.0 (preferably 0.10.1 if placing train stops via blueprint): This is from memory so please forgive any errors: - Left click the train stop to bring up its interface - There's a blank, unlabeled text field near the top of the train stop UI. Click inside the text fiel...

I looked on the forum and wiki, and everything was about renaming a station the name of another station.
I would like step-by-step instructions on how to change the name of train stops.

The player crafts quite slowly compared to higher tier autocrafting, and there should be research that speeds up the player's crafting. Player Crafting I: +25& crafting speed, Player Crafting II: +25% crafting speed. Total of +50% crafting speed from both research. Or it could be an assembler un...

I posted something quite similar...

I don't really want or like to spend time figuring out how long my trains should have to wait at a station. I would like a filter or two to tell the train when to start/stop. For instance, if the train has > = < amount of x, then train goes to next station. Or, if Cargo Wagon 1/2/3/4 is empty, then ...
