Re: Friday Facts #411 - All about asteroids

Thanks for the background information in this FFF. Once again you can see how much work something as "banal" as asteroids means for the developers.

Re: Friday Facts #410 - Rocket turret & Target priorities

Another outstanding FFF.

I think it's good that the rockets now have another possible use. The fact that certain targets can be selected via filters is also a great new feature.

Re: Railways – The pain of a perfectionist

Devs have already reworked the rails.

See Friday Facts #377 - New new rails

This should solve some of your discomforts.

Re: Friday Facts #408 - Statistics improvements, Linux adventures

The new statistics shown seem sensible to me. I agree with Serenity and I am also in favor of the suggestion to display the full number for values in the thousands and not to round them. 4 digits for values in the thousands increase the clarity enormously and would be very helpful. Implementing this...

Re: Hiding flags from splitters.

The problems may be due to the fact that the "items" causing the problems are not of the type "item". I haven't tested it myself, but that is at least one difference to the items with which it works.

Re: Friday Facts #407 - Automating a soundtrack

I always find it interesting to get some technical background this way.

I'm curious to see how the new music will feel in the finished game.

Re: Friday Facts #406 - Space Age Music

Another FFF with very interesting background information.

The music sounds very good. However, I'm not yet sure whether the more dynamic and faster pieces won't overload and distract too much from the actual gameplay. I'll find out when I can play it myself.

Re: Friday Facts #405 - Whole belt reader, New logistics GUI

Again nice and good changes in this FFF. The fact that you can now read out the contents of the entire belt with one query is very helpful and, in my opinion, improves the overview compared to the currently still necessary query of each individual belt segment. I also like the fact that you can now ...

Re: Friday Facts #403 - Train stops 2.0

And another great FFF. Since I like playing with trains, I think the announced innovations are great. I can hardly wait to finally play 2.0. I could have used the renaming of all stations in my current playthrough. :D I made a typo and renaming them individually was a pain. As studix2002 already wro...

Re: Do i need to publish my mods in order to test them?

No, a mod does not have to be published on the mod portal for testing.
You don't even have to compress your mod. You can copy the uncompressed folder with the files and subfolders it contains into the mod folder and test the mod.

Another FFF with innovations that I would like to try out immediately. I already use signals over long distances. So the transfer of these signals via radar is a great relief for me. Now I no longer have to lay long wires. I also like the fact that the external lines are retained when cutting and pa...

Re: Friday Facts #401 - New terrain, new planet

It's great that you've also thought about Nauvis. The changes look very good and sound like a better gaming experience. I can't wait to see how it plays on a rail world in the future.

But I have one more question. Does the change mentioned in the FFF also change the resource generation?

Very nice. It's the little things you change that make the gaming experience even better. And with all these changes, it's clear that you put your heart into the development. I often miss that in other development teams and it makes Factorio and you so special. The pins are a very good idea. How oft...
