Re: Friday Facts #413 - Gleba

The player character must be overjoyed to have so many Goldilocks planets to completely ruin for the sake of science packs. Concrete is the most beautiful expression of nature, as the addled concrete alchemist might say to himself in a whisper while he sleeps.

Re: Friday Facts #411 - All about asteroids

I find the dust and streaking meteorites dizzying and confusing to my depth perception. A "shooting star" should be quite distant, yet they often appear to be very close to the camera (and therefore to the ship), or even sometimes *above* the ship/the base layer. I can't tell where the dus...

This reminds me of the way Hades (and other games) manages dialogue trees.

Re: Friday Facts #406 - Space Age Music

This is a very cool project. The biggest piece of music I have associated with Factorio in my head until now is Gloria Coates' Symphony no. 4. I really love Gloria Coates, RIP.

Re: Friday Facts #404 - Frustration not found

I don't like taking my hand off the mouse so much, so I will probably change the arrow keys to something left handed for blueprint grid controls.

Re: Friday Facts #388 - Smaller things for 2.0

Wonderful! I don't think I'm colorblind, but I can't see the difference between normal-ghost color and max-range-ghost color. Maybe it will be easier to notice in game. (Also, I think I will probably still default to going past max range then back most of the time, because I expect it will be smooth...

Research is back to the beginning, but the factory is in a state where rockets can be launched.
There is another me.
There are some strange points, but let's try playing in this environment.
I just want to say this post is like poetry.
Also it takes me back to outer wilds.

Re: Friday Facts #381 - Space Platforms

Those thrusters look juicy. How KSP are we going here with orbits and such? Will thrusters only have to fire when breaking orbit / changing trajectory and such?

Re: Friday Facts #376 - Research and Technology

My reaction to the quality naming scheme was that it might break immersion a bit, not because I take the game or myself seriously, but because that naming scheme isn't found anywhere else in the game. It feels out of place, like a naked man in winter stretching outdoors before a neighborhood run. (H...

Everyone is probably most excited by the expansion, but this is the most exciting FFF for me in a long time. I have been praying for these changes for years. Thank you so much, my heart is filled with joy.
