I agree with this... I think when you pause the game you should be able to "paint" the map grid squares. Maybe like PA, only 3 colours (ex: red, blue and yellow) so you can at least "count" the tiles you need for your factory.

Maybe it's just me, but i LOVE the early game. I take it as a personal challenge to set up my electric things without even making 1 burner anything. AND it is possible. I usually put the provided burn miner in the coal, make 2 furnances and get enough iron and copper manually to set up my boilers an...

EDIT: ssilk, are you 24/7 in this forum??? Can't comment without a post from you appearing before mine!!! :P WOW, just WOW. Not bad ideas... but IDK why as I was reading this, I saw something like "Port Simulator". This ideas are good, but (IMO) not for factorio, because you're just trying...

To Sedado: Well, to be honest, I think you really overstepped a bit ;) Capslock and a lot of exclamation marks didn't help your cause... I don't really see much wrong in HOW Chthon argued (although I don't share most of his opinions). But i guess your P.S. shows that there was something going on in...

I'm really sorry, that my intervention is interpreted as interruption of useful discussions. So I try to explain my point as exact as possible. This is what I try to do and what the above thread is about. The game is reworked in every version. Nearly every issue, which becomes too large was fixed. ...

maybe subforums for: [...] That would all, of course, make it more complicated to 'browse' the forum but...it would organize it fairly well....a bit of a give and take here, are people likely to use those (and find it helpful) or would it just lead to the mod(s) having to move them to the proper su...

A: Right. I've some ideas but too tired to think about. If someone has an idea how to categorize the suggestions: Welcome, but I cannot create new boards. B: Hmmmmm... not essentially, the mods board doesn't need much, the help board should have more than one. (BTW: Forum = Board) For Starters, The...

Came in expecting a poorly-worded request for a cracking facility to turn unwanted heavy/light oil into petroleum, was disappointed :( That already exists. :) True, Cracking... Search the wiki for that... THERE IS NOT AN ENTRY! So, it's not wrong for @albarak to not know, as any other new user. WE ...

I gave you my idea in the PM yesterday... I think we need: A. More Subforums B. Moderators for every forum C. All of the above I agree New users have to catch up, and in a game as complex as Factorio, its HARD. BUT this can't stagnate the progress of people giving suggestions, and it's not fair for ...

I like the idea of the "Floor Wall", and all other stuff in it (underground bitters, Radar for underground, etc) AND i think this sould be the next "Evolution" for them bitters. Like Small bitters -> Medium bitters -> Big bitters -> Small Underground bitters -> Medium Underground...

This is not *IMPORTANT* but I agree it could make a nice effect

[*]Inventory management is uncool. They look like they are copied from Mincraft without thinking about weather it is a good idea to do it the same way or not. Every sorted list with weights/sizes as Inventory would work better than stacking to "insert any power of two". It is really annoy...

I think the engine doesn't make it possible, but I realy like the idea, for its simplicity and also I think it woudl be usefull

I volunteer to translate to spanish, it being my native language and all xD
BUT i'd still like it better in english

I have an idea, and wanted to share it woth you: Recently you changed the colour display of the pipes, and now you can't see if the liquid inside it is hot or cold, because the colour that the pipe window shows is the "liquid colour" instead of the Temperature colour... This can be "f...

I like the idea, but agree that IMO it doesn't add much to the game :S
It would be nice for version 0.12 maybe, not now.

Yes, a "Station Select" Signal would be nice, as in TTD

I don't like it much as a multiplayer option. Maybe in Single Player have a "merchant" to whoom sell stuff and buy another stuff, but it woud have to be MORE EXPENSIVE to buy than to build... AND you have to have it reserched (the item you wanna buy)...

This thread should be convined with this one!!!

I prefer the car option, but as an upgrade to the car, that would make it act as a roboport, maybe only for construction robots, with a "request" function and a relatively small range (20?)? It has a lot of benefits, and you would consume the fuel to recharge the robots too, making it sti...
