Re: Friday Facts #414 - Spoils of Agriculture
The biochamber could use a little finishing touches on the texturing, to make it really match the art style, but otherwise the graphics look really nice. Interesting gameplay also, by the sound of things.

Re: Friday Facts #413 - Gleba
Would definitely be interesting if you could see the occasional creature. I remember you added bird sounds in an earlier post, maybe you could, once in a while, see a bird too? The same, and more, goes for Gleba. It's definitely optional, but it would make every place seem so much more alive. Also b...

Re: Friday Facts #412 - Undo/Redo improvements & Car Latency driving
These are some of the best improvements so far (but only some, because you've showcased some absolutely amazing ones previously too!)

Re: Friday Facts #409 - Diminishing beacons
I'd say this is a good change. The old playstyle is not invalidated. No-one will build 12-beacon setups out of normal rarity beacons. It's an end-game strategy with mass production of highest tier modules. In every situation except "12 normal rarity beacons", everything is viable, with its...

Re: Friday Facts #408 - Statistics improvements, Linux adventures
I feel like, if science is important enough to be its own (meta) item in the production graph, then there should just be a button to show it without having to type.

Re: Friday Facts #405 - Whole belt reader, New logistics GUI
Part of me wonders if the logistic network browser won't be in the way sometimes, if it's forced to be visible on the remote view screen. Or perhaps you already did add a way to hide it. I like what you did with the belt graphics for the whole belt reader, as well as the change to the rocket silo an...

Calling it the 'RTS tool' is a bit absurd, but otherwise these are good changes. Great, even.

I love all these features. In particular being able to operate so much from the map feels really convenient and pleasant, especially when it makes sense that you should be able to!

I'm so glad you made these additions. So many game devs just wouldn't bother, yet these were some fairly substantial bumps that you just smoothed out.

Re: Rename nuclear fuel to reduce ambiguity
The slot inside the reactor will, if hovered over, specify that it can only take "Uranium fuel cell", but this discrepancy is a little odd. What's extra weird is the capitalization (or lack of its consistency). I checked in another language, and the same issue is present. It's as if it's i...

Re: Friday Facts #401 - New terrain, new planet
Although being different in nature, I always very much enjoyed the beauty of the Alien Biomes mod, so I'm very happy that you got to work on improving the Nauvis terrain.

Re: Friday Facts #395 - Generic interrupts and Train stop priority
Great stuff. I hope that you can improve the existing train tutorials, because that will really be needed. Even with just the chain signals, the current tutorial feels a bit short. You could accidentally beat it, or beat it without really internalizing the meaning, and even right now it would need a...

Re: Friday Facts #394 - Assembler flipping and circuit control
The entity flipping and assembler circuitry are amazing. I think you demonstrate well just how worthwhile it is in the long run to focus on doing things properly.
Also, I think you've made the right decision with regards to the inserter naming.

Re: Landmines, the underestimated weapon against Biters
The sole fact, that I saw speedrunners highly utilize mines for deathworld runs, has made me see how absurdly strong they are. I didn't even know they were this cheap! They're even amazing offensively! Heck, they're even amazing when placed in mass next to nests!

Re: Friday Facts #392 - Parametrised blueprints
The only thing that confuses me at first glance is the "Value" and "Ingredient of" fields. It's not quite clear what they refer to, but I'm sure you could get used to it quickly.

Re: Worker robot speed (Is the research tree correct?)
Somewhat relevant, but the logistics chests research also requires no purple science while requiring yellow science, and it is also robotics related. That's why in my mind, yellow science is always related to robotics (even aside from the fact that it uses a robot frame in the recipe).

Re: [REQUEST] Per-spawner evolution
If you can detect when attacks are triggered (maybe like a wave as a whole, that shouldn't be very expensive), you could perhaps use that as a measurement of local pollution absorption, and thus local evolution.

Re: Spidertron Group
I guess it makes sense. The difficulty, is that you would require almost RTS game controls in addition to having Factorio's game controls. Very difficult to create well, while giving a small return. Remember, the controls have to still remain intuitive and simple. I'm kind of OK with the current sta...

Re: Diminishing returns on parallel research
I do not think this is a good idea for balancing the "new players researching things faster than they can go through them" phenomenon. Also, don't punish players needlessly just because they can go fast. I would even argue, that reseraching too fast is also one of Factorio's logistical cha...
