Re: Created a Crafting template

I like it, seems much easier to use. But I think in the long run the recipes will all be moved to the Infocard templates. Is it possible to include your crafting template there? Edit: It seems to be problematic with items where the image links have different names. For example Iron armor where the i...

About Categories and Infocards

Hi, I think it needs to be discussed how categories and infocards should be handled in the wikis future. The game itself gives us five categories: Logistics, Production, Intermediate products, Combat and Technologies In the wiki we have currently a lot more categories. Which are usefull, which are n...

Re: Template:Technology needs a modification

I have created a Template:Icontech which is the same as Template:Icon but with green background instead of grey. This way the icon have the same backgrounds as ingame. (Well, the exact green has to be adjusted at some time.) So if anyone will have a look at Template:Technologie it would be great to ...

Template:Technology needs a modification

The Template:Technology needs a modification to the 'icon' line. It needs the option to add a number to the icon. For example 'Advanced electronics 2' shares the same icon with 'Advanced electronics (1)'. It needs to have the number '2' included to show the icon how it is supposed to be which is cur...

Re: How to bring the 'Research' page in order?

So, now I would like to get rid of the #Technologie tree. It is outdated, it takes a huge amount of place while not showing any useful informations. I would like to move it to its own page (to get updated there later). How to do this correctly? Creating a page in the main name space? If yes, how sho...

[solved] How to bring the 'Research' page in order?

The Research page https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Research is currently a huge mess. I added two technologies pages and found at least two more that are currently not listed under #Technologies. As I wanted to add them I found that the current list is not in a proper order and it is...

Re: Total raw in recipes and order in recipes

I'm really unsure about merging same named pages. For https://forums.factorio.com/wiki/index.php?title=Explosives for example there is explosives merged as item and research. But actually this is more information on one page thats needed and is somewhat confusing. On the left side in the recipe it s...

Total raw in recipes and order in recipes

Hi, the 'total raw' entries in the wiki are very inconsequent at the moment. Some pages shows them, some doesn't. Some show the ingame values if avaivable, some seems to be calculated, some don't have any ingame, some ingame values are wrong (and therefor wrong in the wiki too). Some show intermedia...

Re: Why is my inserter factory doing start-stop production?

I see, is this design not good for smart inserters? Or do i just need more ECs? How any EC assemblers should a full factory have? I say the design is good. I'm using a very similar layout in my current map as part of my science line, just in vice versa order. I call it a 'Self regulating assembling...

Thanks. Looks like there are already some research pages with research in brackets. I think I will have a look at this.

Wiki refering to two pages with same name?

Hi, just started to work a bit on the wiki. Recently changed the flamethrower ammo recipe and removed the obsolete information that its used to make land mines. Then I wanted to edit the land mines recipe which now uses explosives in its recipe. It seems 'Explosives' as intermediate product is not e...

Re: Gun turrets have higher power requirements than laser tu

Also gun turrets (or better their requester chests) have to be inside the logistic network to get them filled. So you may need additional roboports (compared to laser turrets which could be placed inside the larger constructions network without problem) which consumes additionaly energy plus chargin...

Re: Science Pack Balancing

I also think that that science production gets boring in mid/end game. If you have set up red, green and blue production and set an assembler for purple you are done for the rest of the game. But I don't really like the idea to just increase production of the lower science packs to produce the highe...

Option to obsolete reciepes

Hi, just build a bunch of burner inserters by misclicking and came up with the idea that it would be really handy if we could obsolete reciepes we don't want/need anymore. In detail, in the crafting gui we may get the option to obsolete reciepes by a special mouse/keyboard combination which will sim...

Re: Suggestion about inserters

I also think that it woudn't be too confusing for new players, because you could make it completely optional. By default, without touching the configuration gui, all the inserters could work just like they do now. I think that I put thoughts in an userfriendly usability here. You don't have to 'mak...
