works better with larger factories because you need to do it only once per line

I don't think you need the upper left express belt to be express, since those items are on the outside of the turn

Sweet, I'll keep using the speed modules then. This map is ridiculously low on oil, 6 wells in my starting area, and my radar has only picked up maybe the same amount in the surrounding area. I'm hoping to find the mother load after clearing some biters.

Great. On the tend up and tend left, it might be helpful to show how the occasional one goes to the "wrong" side. Also could really use some info on underground belts. how to split the two sides of a belt which can be used by inserters taking off a belt which can be used by inserters putti...

So my map only has a few oil wells, (I'm talking like 2 groups of 3) which are all now producing 0.1 oil / s. Lets say I put in a 20% speed module, does that basically mean I'm getting 0.120 / s? Isn't that much better than say a 8% productivity module which would only be 0.108 / s? Am i right, or a...

Make bigger storage tanks for light / dark.
Start using the solid fuel in all of your burners / boilers.
Or stockpile the solid fuel in chests.

My idea is not to scale everything by the same amount, but to scale every individual thing by a different randomly generated number, any where between +25% and -25%. There are enough things that overall the general cost for things on the planet would even out to the same, thus keeping general balanc...

I would like to see some randomness in the hard coded factors from game to game. Maybe upon map creation factorio can modify the recipes by changing the input quantities / time / output / impact of module / speed of inserter / etc. by a random amount say +/- 25%. This would mean instead of always fa...

I think we need some organization and voting method. (possibly here, possibly in the wiki) Request Categories (new feature, recipe tweak, audio/visual enhancements) A list of requests, (short titles, with link to full discussion). Users vote yea or nay, Devs brief comment (yes, no, maybe) User prior...

Constructions robots will only pick items from storage or provider chests, as far as I'm aware. You can use an inserter to move the items from the requester chest to a provider chest . maybe use a smart inserters and a few different chests to have only a few of each items available at a time. I tri...

So I'm ready to start a new section of my base. I'd like to setup a requester box so my logistical robots can bring the bulk of the supplies close by. I would then like my construction robots to use those items to do their building. Any way to make this happen? Or do I just have to allow the constru...

The problem is that people go to electricity to fast. We should need to use burner inserters. Power plant should be much more expensive so we need to go through burner tier instead of skipping it. Edit: Pumps and boilers should be more expensive too. Electric mining drills also should be more expen...

No Burner Inserters?
No Stone Furnaces?
No Wooden Chests?
No Iron Chests?
No Small Electrical Poles?

Either have a really slow start waiting for technology to skip over the lower levels of stuff,
or you don't upgrade anything that is already placed.

Maybe the recipes could be changed slightly so that all advanced items require the basic item. For example Current The burner inserter needs 1 Iron plate, 1 Iron Gear Wheel, 1 Time The basic inserter needs 1 iron plate, 1 iron gear wheel, 1 electronic circuit, 1 time Proposed The basic inserter need...
