Moreover, the very fact the the devs have created a forum for an alpha game, that includes polls, tells you quite clearly that it is a tool that should, at least, be considered. Further to this, what point is there, even if there is no hope at all of any change, in objecting to a discussion about i...

Typically I set up a mine with 1-2 pick up stations. And then my smelter has any number of drop off's. Although I use terminus stations so the whole loop thing doesn't work with me. I also use a 4 lane highway essentially for the trains, and then drop down to 2-lane for depots/mines/factories. I mak...

Yeah, can we make this happen in 0.15.8?

1.21 GIGGAWATTS!!!

Make sure to launch 0.14 and disable mods!

(because they probably won't work)

My head just exploded

I am in different. One part of me wants it the other wants it as a polished product. So either way I want it. But I am an impatient American, so there is that too

Reminds me of a time where you used to have to go to a developers website from time to time to check for patches, download an installer, and run the risk of having to uninstall completely and install a patch over a fresh install. It wasn't that long ago either, maybe 10 or 15 years. That's when game...

I don't think my wife would kick me out for playing too much Factorio. Although she might threaten it if I don't shower for a couple of days.

Abandon our wives and children and proceed to play factorio non-stop for 48 hours straight.

Few minutes ago i got mail saying: this is a notification about change in your Factorio account details. Namely: Your password has been changed I went back to check it and my password is still the same. Should I be worried? We call this spam or more specifically phishing. Chances are if you look at...

Many people in the team use OSX and Linux, a lot of us use windows, but that doesn't really make a difference

The Factorio gods are Java? So I should of sacrificed that virgin to the Oracle?

I prayed to the computer (Windows) god's recently. They seem to think the first .15 experimental is going to hit the streets next Friday.

I like this idea. Personal batteries for laser turrets. Something I do is put in a line of energy turrets mixed with gun turrets. Usually in a line with 3 gun turrets and 1 laser separated apart by 2 spaces. At least at outposts. That way the laser turrets have more than enough range to catch the sp...

This kind of generalization fits pretty well. I agree that it should be a simple process, or rather something not overtly complex. Although one thing that has stuck to the back of my mind in the FFF's is that the need for more and more boilers. Having 12 or so steam boilers feed the engines is quite...

What about running reactors like in the Minecraft Mod (http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=Nuclear_Reactor) More specifically where they talk about the "Mark Level" the reactor becomes. From what I remember, a "Mark I" is a reactor that produces energy and requires 0...

I think more specifically identifying what kind of reactor to model after. There are several types, outlined here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor). Pressurized water reactors, Boiling water reactors, Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor, High Power Channel Reactor, Gas-cooled reactor (GCR)...

I think that it should remain fairly simple, and leave it up to mods to make it more complex. For example. Mine Uranium Ore > Refined Uranium Ore > Process Uranium Ore > Insert into Reactor > Output Mine > Furnace > Chemical Plant > Reactor building(s) > Output Storage The reactor should be expandab...

Something I was thinking about in regards to infinite tech are infinitate techs that change global policies. For example: Infinite Production: Increases global crafting speed by 1%. Infinite Mining: ^^ Infinite Energy: ^^ Infinite Gun Damage: ^^ Infinite Laser Damage: ^^ Infinite Fire Damage: ^^ Inf...
