Friday Facts #379 - Abstract rewiring | Factorio
factorio.com
Let me show you around. That's our lab table and this is our work-stool. And over there is our interplanetary space-platform! And here's where we keep assorted lengths of wire. Whoa! A real live space-platform! We designed it ourselves. Let us show you some of the different lengths of wire we used.

    My guess for the remaining shadow bug is the one where the cable from the upper left inserter casts a shadow on top of the power pole for a few pixels.

    I hope they’ll make the abstract items not items anymore at some point, such that they don’t go into the inventory but just disappear when deselected. Have a blueprint hotbar instead, but prevent us from putting blueprints into the inventory.

      From what I understood, they want to make it so that you can have those items in your hotbar without them being in your inventory.

    What’s the quote from? It seems like it’s not verbatim but I’m getting major Futurama vibes. Googling bits and pieces hasn’t helped so far.

      It looks like it’s almost an exact quote from Futurama, just replace space-platform with spaceship and we/our with I/my.

    I like these changes.

    Be interesting how many times I gram the wrong copper wire when fixing my electrical network from bot spaghetti.

      Yeah, I have to install the power grid comb mod so that I can clean up the mess. It should be easier in vanilla to have nice wires.

    It will be interesting to see the circuit wire logic in action. From the animatic it looks easy to get the wires crossed.
