display map in the editor

It would be nice if you could open the map in the editor just like in-game, to make it more easy to spot hidden resources under trees and get a better grasp of the total availability of resources in a very wide area.

I've noticed the same thing with placing belts in the map editor, some are skipped.

Re: Acceleration behaviour when wearing multiple exoskeleton

This is a really good idea! I know I max out at 3 skeletons to be able to still walk controlable around my factory, but really could use more speed for long walks.

change fluid color for easier recognition

I'm not claiming any chemical knowledge whatsoever but I was thinking why is the heavy oil symbol red/brown and the fluid in the pipe blue ? Why do sulfuric acid, light oil and lubricant need to have such similar colors ? And why am I making such a trivial topic ? Food for thought.

Re: Some items becoming "useless" in lategame & changing rec

some thoughts: -Steel furnaces are just as fast as electric furnaces without modules. They have the benefit of not requiring any change in layout when upgrading from stone furnaces. I find myself using them a lot for copper and iron smelting in my first melting area (when coal is abundant on the map...

Re: How do I deal with early game biters?

The best defense is offense. Prioritize armor and shotgun research and take out near camps as soon as possible. As long as there are no medium biters yet taking on bigger camps is still pretty easy. If you get attacked from all sides immediately a pipe wall is a great alternative for normal wall. It...

Re: [0.10.8] Factorio x64 Lags every 4 seconds

I have this too sometimes and restarting factorio or rebooting fixes it for me. Doesn't seem to happen the first time I launch factorio after a reboot. It's noticable right from the start in any zoom level.
I'm running on winx64 and never noticed this before 0.10.12 + latest dytech.

Maybe this is helpful, and there's always mods with near-side inserters too.

Re: [0.10.x] cannot remove entities while on vehicles

The whole mining ability is disabled from vehicles. I think this is more feature request than bug. But +1 from me :) I sometimes do drive-by wall replacements in outposts with no robots, which often leads to misbuilds as it's not that easy from a car. Other times it ends with a crashed car. I also w...

It looks like the fast inserter above me is grabbing the iron ore, but instead it's flipping around like crazy. The 2 chunks of iron ore are dancing between the 2 pieces of belt.

[0.10.x] underground belts, vibrating screen

I don't know if this needs fixing but I thought I'd let you know anyway. Do not let it interfere with release schedules please :) When you stand on an underground belt entrance and bump in to certain objects, that causes the screen to vibrate and appear fuzzy. Especially noticable with fast/express ...
