Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints | Factorio

Hello, I'm going to cover a feature I only just finished. I was thinking about this idea for years already. I always thought the feature is too hardcore to be included, but I learned that it is usually a mistake to underestimate the players, so I gave it a go, and decided to share it right away.

    Yeeeeessss! Finally my unnecessarily complex circuit designs to solve non-existent problems will become almost viable!

    O_O

    This is going to help my train stop blueprints. I have to edit the threshold that the stop uses to disable itself, e.g. 50/100/250/500k items on an incoming stop, 300k on an outgoing stop. I use separate blueprints for incoming and outgoing stops. Plus I have a very simple circuit to turn a light green when the stop is enabled, so I have 3 places I have to edit the threshold.

    I wonder if a drop-down menu could be used too?

    Fantastic new feature, I am excited to use it!

      Yeah this really is a super cool QoL for train stops. But I can’t wait to see what smarter people can come up with!
