https://cdn.factorio.com/assets/blog-sync/fff-405-remote-view-glue.png The map/remote view not going to the very edge of the screen is very sad to me. Please revert that. The gray border is just wasting screen space and it doesn't look good. Having a nice zoomed out overview of your base without GU...

I also think that RTS tool is a bizarre name (regardless of how many units the tool can instruct, tanks, etc...). One is not using the tool to play (or otherwise 'tool' upon) a Real Time Strategy game (RTS) so how is it an RTS tool? The tool is used to implement a Strategy, in Real Time. So it's a ...

That is different point of view. I do not want reach a point, when my goal is shoot rockets like mini-gun. It is just wrong. I want to keep the precious moment of release as a magic moment. Therfore give me an endless space research for gigantic size of cargo space ship. No, you are wrong. You don'...

Lastly... can we not rename the logistic networks? I thought I recalled that you were going to offer that, but on seeing some of the latest posts from others here, it sounds like that *didn't* get added? Seeing a long list of "LOGISTICS NETWORK #X" is boring. Seeing "Smelter Array Tr...

Hm... I keep having the same problem as before. So I copied that mod to another folder, uninstalled (deleted) it in Factorio, the mod folder then did not contain that mod after that. Closed the game. I unzipped the copied mod to the factorio mod folder und edited it (file prototypes/shared.lua ). E...

Check the tutorials for the exact format the name of the folder and mod needs as well as other things to load your mod https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Modding_tutorial https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Mod_structure Pretty simple stuff if you follow it line by line. Then the link "API docs&...

1. A vanilla "Circuit Board", eg a unit where you can build more complicated circuits. Same "unfolded" size as a combinator, but larger when unfolded. I know some addins exist, but I like vanilla! Would be nice, yes. Should be blueprintable and have unlimited internal space and ...

What does "not line up properly" mean, more precisely? Off by a few ticks sometimes, or off by microseconds? For the latter, it's not really possible to solve this in (using, not writing) a game engine with sound clips. You can't make each tick exactly the same length. If you had direct ac...

I have a blueprint for allowing any amount of filters in a stack filter inserter. It is guaranteed to not miss any items on a belt (with electricity), but the technique could easily be adapted for choosing the right filter to use for a train. 0eNrFV0tu2zAQvQrBVQtIhiV/I3TVGxTorggEWhpZRCRSICk7RuAD9BY9...

No to the new RTS control from me. [...] --- Edit/PS: With the 2.0 tweaks, I think you're running afoul of "wouldn't it be cool" featuritis and losing sight of core game design. Step back and take a look at what the actual game loop is. Do your additions strengthen the game loop or muddle...

If you are a chatbot troll then I guess +1 point to you. But assuming you are serious: Why not just continue to ignore that players from weak economies pirate the game, and gain full price from players from stronger economies actually loving the game so much that they want to spend money on the game...

We already have a visual programming language, what we need is a textual one. Not more visual languages. Visual programming languages are ok for learning some basic logic concepts for a few minutes, but after that it just holds you back. Small kids can enjoy visual programming languages slightly lon...

[Koub] Can't take a few days off without some thread exploding I guess. All the discussion about the smaller granularity for 100% fluid recipes is totally off topic, so I'm splitting it from the #402 FFF thread, into the Ideas and suggestions. Feel free to discuss the suggestion here, but keep it c...

It doesn't take away from any challenge since it'd be an optional feature Wrong. I'm not against filters on miners, but what you wrote is hilariously wrong. Of course you have the option to do an self-imposed challenge run, but that doesn't mean the regular experience isn't made easier by tools tha...

What does "hop between versions" mean? Factorio doesn't support downgrading, if you hop down you are copying files around manually in a way that can't really be supported. If you have multiple install directories then just don't delete your blueprints when moving on to use another. If you ...

This is unlikely to happen unless we would update Lua to something newer than 5.2. If circuit network signals would have values based on 64 bit integers then scripts would have a hard time setting some values since all values in lua 5.2 are based on a `double` which cannot represent all 64 bit inte...

It's great to hear that you finally fixed the issue caused by multiple items being created per tick. Could we also get an alternative production-handling logic for fluids, that would process small amounts of fluids each tick, instead of handling them in (relatively huge) discrete batches every few ...

I'm going to assume that almost everyone that voted Q1-Q5 are actually fine with the "Legendary" names since Q1-Q5 will be used and understood universally in conversation regardless of what they are called in game. No one actually needs the devs to name the quality levels that to be able t...

Hello, first of all I want to thank @Qon and @mmmPi for the warm welcome. You really make me feel included. By the way, how can I type the BBcode for the collapsable panel with a Plus? I searched, but never found an option. Np, pleasure is mine :) Thanks for using [ bp] tags for blueprints now ;) Q...

I am still not convinced that adding ID to channel on radars would not cause a situation where players have a strong incentive to build arrays of radars. Which is worse in my eyes than both current situation with minimalist approach or antenna approach with dedicated entity for multi channel. I hav...
