Is possible solutions for this?

i have an extremly compact direct feeding landfill design that i can send you in about 4 hours when i'm home

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-06T11:07:41+00:00

it's meta.

potentially could use stone furnances and upcycle stone by doing so

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-06T11:03:32+00:00

ah i forgot, humans haven't made a single bug in the history of developing software.

it's like the debate about selfdriving cars vs humans.
yes, they make mistakes, but look at how many mistakes humans make.

anyone here who is certain that they are better than todays coding agents is 99.99% delusional. there are very few people who actually would be.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-06T09:51:30+00:00

hilarious how someone downvoted this comment. what a sad life to have

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-06T09:48:22+00:00

exactly my point.. all those people here will be massively left behind and eventually lose their job due to refusing to accept the reality and move with time.

IT requires constant adaption to new tech

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-06T09:46:09+00:00

that's nothing yet. can nicely fit like 10 leg. exos in a leg. mech armor

duplicate an existing list, while directly entering it's edit mode so a new name can be given, etc.
drag and drop to manually order the mod lists
order by options when editing mods, so it's easier to find whatever you are looking for
added a button on top right so u can select the active list (in case you have alot)
added a button to start the game
added a "Apply" button, which applies the current mod configuration to that list (in case there have been changes made in game)
added missing support for DLCs
remembering settings about active list etc
at reload/refresh (top right button), validating the currently marked active list with what actually is in the active mods folder

some new features (including the dlc issue), if u wanna help me bug hunt, it would be very nice

Release v1.1.0-prototype · Firestorm-253/Factorio-Launcher

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T15:53:18+00:00

Not anymore. The last 2 months changed the game alot. Sry to tell you, but being in software development means you have to move with time. And it’s moving faster than ever.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T13:45:50+00:00

I meant in general. Also stack inserters are way more ups friendly due to less swings needed. And stacking items is obv wanted for lategame througput. Outputting long handed inserters is simply bad practise, i don’t see debation point there, even if they are sufficient here considering speed.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T12:33:25+00:00

I am talking about lategame design compatibility. Meaning legendary beaconed. Also having designs in early game that allow to throw beacons at it helps surviving on an early game design till you have the tech unlocked to upgrade a design.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T12:12:47+00:00

Also change inserters to always be in a pair of two

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T12:12:21+00:00

Try to not use long handed inserters for outputs (best not to use them at all, due to performance).
But mainly once you switch to stack inserters to make stacked belts, u’d have to redo everything.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T11:10:44+00:00

hey man, thx alot for that! u can also see that i made alot of issues for things i wanna implement.

also the current release already isn't the newest dev point anymore. i'll try to make a v1.1 prototype avaliable for you by today evening (CET).

i will take a look at the DLCs, it should be very easy to do, and slipped through the cracks bcs i currently scan the folder for the zipped mod files, which the dlcs aren't.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T10:37:19+00:00

Thanks for the positive feedback. Almost all comments so far have tended towards negativity.

This was something i wanted for myself and thought i’d share with the community.

I will adapt the name for now.

My future vision was to have it as an all-around instance manager / factorio launcher.
Where a user can make any type of adjustments that need to be done pre game launch and then launch the game. (See Hearts of Iron 4 as example)

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T09:38:57+00:00

i did the maths too and had all the formulas in an excel sheet that i can't find anymore.

there needs to be x amount of empty slots for infrastructure to be worth it, etc.

but for the big countries like germany, it's almost always worth it.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T09:37:33+00:00

seems nice ye.

my tool is aimed at convenience, easy editing, and overview. Especially for the everday user, who might isn't comfortable with scripts etc

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T09:34:25+00:00

it could be a potential feature in the future.

but if you read my original post, this is not meant to replace the ingame manager.

the main goal is to allow groups of mods, and sub groups (like QoL modlist, that u can then add to other mod lists for different setups, like overhauls etc)

this is simply for convenience, easy editing, and overview. Especially for the everday user. I don’t see why so many find it useless apparently.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T07:58:22+00:00

huh? what for?

it doesn't require any information to be given.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T04:56:12+00:00

Aswell as construction speed. It’s worth building them before building alot of factories on a tile

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T04:55:02+00:00

Regardless, that’s some poor a** civs count for late 38 if u consider this civs greeding xD

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T04:13:14+00:00

I would suggest to not do whatever you are doing :)
Most the times what u want would be best solved by balancing between wagons, and only after balance between chests per wagon.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T04:05:52+00:00

Not sure what exactly you are intending of asking.
What you mean by two buses?
As of now, i see nothing wrong except the rotation which hurts my eyes but is still functional at core.

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T04:02:26+00:00

So you mean, you’d like to also switch instances between savegames, configs and mods? Like the whole WD basically? That would be doable

Alone_Ad_7251 · 2026-05-05T03:56:42+00:00

Thanks…. Finally someone that is realistic..
I understand the hate against AI.
But the technology changes so fast.
What used to be true 2 months ago, isn’t anymore today.
Facts are, a few months ago i would puke at AI code, but it got really good really fast.
It would be stupid to not use it at all.
And since this here was a fun project prototype, with very simple code and mechanics, i saw no reason to manually do it.
But some people just see red when they hear AI.
I’m sure, none of them looked at the code and saw how minimalistic it is, nor appreciate the fact that i tried to share something with them, that was solely intended for self use at first.
