sort saves by name/created date/last touched date

TL;DR Similar filters used in MP game menu could be used to filter recent SP saves. What ? Instead of # players etc there could be Last played date, created date, hours played. Filters for mods like MP. Why ? WHY do you think it increases the value of Factorio as a game? I have many different games...

A pinned "release" post for the upcoming DLC

It's been over two months since the announcement. It would be nice if there was a pinned item in the Releases category with any and all info on the upcoming DLC. In a perfect world it would be updated once a week with something - old placeholder art, a "we're still alive" notice, something...

request blueprint quantity one time from logistics

TL;DR I'm going to build a few blueprints way outside the logistics network. I'd like to request the quantities I need and travel light instead of always carrying around enough. What ? Drop blue print into logistics request. set quantity as normal. Robots then bring blueprint parts * qty to you. Wh...

Starting new Tutorial should disable mods

Problem:
The base game tutorial is not intended to be run with mods.
If I enable bobs+angels and run the tutorial, ore patches are not in their expected locations and instructions say "mine here!" with a big arrow pointing to nothing.

Solution:
Force tutorial to essential-only mods.

Re: Griefing: a modest proposal

Aside from that... I actually perversely enjoy "hunt the troll", it's like a fancy version of Among Us. Could that be a game mode? No Mementos, no "last touched by", no map... just paranoia.

Griefing: a modest proposal

In multiplayer the problem is trolls. Turning something or tweaking an assembler shows "last touched by". Deleting an item leaves no trace. Therefore the #1 method of trolling is to remove something. This has a side effect that many servers won't let new players remove items until they hav...

Easier loading for long term huge maps

Hello and thank you for this great game. I'm currently into a long Space Exploration session over many weeks with friends 10 time zones away. Every time they connect now is a very long download and sync. This seems a little odd because they have saves and autosaves. My suggestion is that reconnectin...

[0.17.4] mod upgrade UI blank last item until mouseover

19 mods to upgrade. last item blank. hover cursor over item, name appears.
begin upgrade. as each item is removed from the list the effect reappears.
windows 10, fwiw.

Re: Artillery can be built before tank is researched

I'm sorry but I don't have a save file & log file from the time between artillery built and tank researched. I only reported the but on reddit after, and was told to repeat it here.

Artillery can be built before tank is researched

it is possible to build an artillery gun for which ammunition has never existed, and the knowledge of ammunition has never existed. um...what? I researched and built only items required to build the rocket. having achieved that, I thought I'd add artillery and check it out. once completed I had an a...

Re: Version 0.13.0

I built a two-headed train on a brand new track. The 10-rail placement system fought me several times, I couldn't seem to cancel it without changing the active item in my inventory. The double-headed train seemed to confuse the rail signal system - it would only let me place signals on one side of t...

How's this? https://instagram.com/p/7tjjpAofC_/

I don't have a soft suction cup to grab a flat sheet (yet), but I do have a suction nozzle and air pump.

Opening a beer is on the way still. Rotating the wrist around an arbitrary point in space is hard to explain to a machine.
