I think no matter what you state, the reality is you are dealing with the obnoxious human nature that seems prevalent these days and thus you can state whatever restrictions you like, but exactly who is going to care and who is going to enforce that?

If you have lots of time and very deep pockets ...

The God Controller inventory size is currently hard coded with a nice note above it in the code that says "to do - move this to a prototype" :P


And I guess in 2025 (9 years later), the comment is still perfectly intact and the god controller still has a distinctly un-god-like inventory size.

If you want multi-fluids in a pipe, then you need a means to pump the excess back. I generally do this with filtered reverse pumps back to a fluid buffer tank that is enabled when a selected forward (from specific tank to generic consumer - trains factory whatever) is not. Of course for this to work ...

Elevated stops would probably only be workable by combining with a train bot loading/unloading mod at best currently.

I have been suspicious of thing going missing or even being duped for a while but have never been able to capture positive proof of it.
The symptom I normally see is with batches of 500 items sent up to a platform and those item being fed into a production machine via stack inserters set to a stack ...

I have to wonder how many people first ship out to aquilo and especially to system edge and beyond went splat into a big/huge asteroid at high speed and they just laughed it off and built something else with more guns and attitude on it?

I have lost count of the number of perfectly good ships that ...

I was willing to work around the pathetically anemic rockets, ridiculous asteroid densities, deliberately obtuse rocket engines, lazy coding of platform trains, too many cases of challenging my patience rather than intellect to even list. Then I faced big asteroids. Nope. I'm not finishing it. And ...

The steam achievements speak 1000 words about gleba.


I would argue that Steam players are less invested in Factorio than non-Steam players


I call BS on that. There is no one I know on PC who doesnt have Steam and use it as their preferred game management platform (over any of the ...

Also fluid ingredients end with quality when they should not.

The logical byproduct of slag processing with water would probably be calcite+stone and some polluted water.

Sound like this cold be done with a simple mod.

I have long thought that ingredients and results of a recipe should be handled by a combinator. It would actually be a good extra function on the selector combinator along with an ingredient ordered means of indexing (ingredient by index and result by index) as the current indexing is based on the ...

I am wondering what people are building to need this given many people seem to be able to build 60UPS 14.4k SPM setup (in SA at least) unless it is a case of low performance computers not being able to handle even moderate larger scale production?

A quick think of the use cases for this pre-SA ...

I would be happy with just being able to read the ingredients of the current research (including amount remaining) without knowing/caring what that research is. One can sort of do this by monitoring belts, but that doesn't cover a use case where you may not want to produce the science at all unless ...

Use a circuit to change the filter on it after inactivity.



I really shouldnt have to do that though, its such a simple thing that could be implemented


And the same argument applies to so many things in Factorio. So many thing I curse the devs for almost daily, but they are what they are ...

I have often wished I could set the source planet at the group level instead of having to set it for every item - annoying number of extra clicks.

I find large container more useful in SA because of high speed epic/legendary production machines combined with dynamic recipe switching which is something many exploit on space platforms with direct insertion to/from platform hub.

To do the same otherwise there is the warehouse mod that I find ...

Just add a couple combinators per inserter to your layout, no big deal?

One can also look at either using multiple output inserters - a stack filtered to the highest-volume output and a different type filtered to rest, for instance ...
