Other ways to display it:
- Shadows of the buildings/trees changes
- The light has different colors. Day: White, Morning/Evening: Red, Night: Blue

As far as I know this 0x000001d-Error means "illegal instruction". The CPU tries to execute a non-existing command. Could be caused by hardware problems. For example some bits on the harddisk swapped. Or the CPU gets too hot. By software: The compiler produces some illegal opcodes or the p...

Ok. Begins to get interesting. :) I keep at my points. There is space for much improvement inn this subject. The current handling of the keyboard/mouse is not "round", doesn't feel finished, is not logical in some cases. I don't want to go too deep into details, because I don't want to sho...

I doubt that would allow me to remove a belt that has items constantly running over it. Removing running items with the mouse doesn't make sense. In this case the cursor is placed on the belt, not the items over it. So F is just to remove running items, or hidden items. For beginners this isn't nee...

Electrified tracks should act exactly like simple power lines.

Hamsters. I thought it was obvious. Receipts to get power from creepers: Produce steel. Make a creeper-trap. Produce wheels. Make a big wheel. Catch Creepers in trap. Put them into wheel. Stand in front of it: Power enough for 10 plants. :) Make a composter. Catch creepers into composter. Wait. The...

If you really wanted to complicate factorio, you could try to explain the magic that makes transport belts move ;-) :) Yeah. And Alien-Hamsters are much better. [To be serious I thought about it. :) In Factorio maybe belts needs to be connected at a point anywhere to energy. They don't need energy,...

Remembers me to many strategy games, first Dune, second Command&Conquer, third Warcraft .... But it makes sense, when you a) remove the cole-driven miner (because you never use them in the later game) b) limit the number of the "robots" to about 10-100 (you can control 10 "yoursel...

There are more than 3 "lanes". Get much iron in your hands, go over a belt and press Z some times. There are some moving stones, which are "out of the belt". Putting stuff into the middle of a belt doesn't make sense from the gameplay, because it blocks all other items or brings ...

1. would create really bad feedback loops, possibly making everything totally unstable. Even those SteamEngine <-> coal mine feedback loops are pretty bad. Hm. In real power plant, it's a big problem to bring the hole process to work. The bigger it is, the bigger the problem. I think it should be p...

Stupid question: Why is F and Z needed? I think this isn't really needed and can be mapped to left and right MB. More consistent usage: LMB = remove what's the cursor over / RMB = put what you have in hand. Currently: Remove a belt with LMB. Then run to the place it was and remove the stuff, which w...

I thought about the generators and steam. Currently I think the system is really nice. I like the steam engines. Suggestions: 1. The pump doesn't need power to run. It should need electricity. 2. The "steam" is only 100 degrees hot and the generator runs with water only 15 degrees hot. Rea...

How about building a jukebox? A jukebox can be placed anywhere and needs electricity. Then you can choose any MP3 on disk to play. Until you are near it, you can hear it.

How about making and autopickup toggle. Picking up large fields of stuff like after an inventory explosion is quite annoying when you have to hold down the F key all the time. I would like to have a cleaner: some kind of robot which runs around and collects everything in an given area into the play...

For example: The shot ammunition is inside the dead bodies. When you are fast enough to collect them, you can save the shot ammunition.

The surprise for me to this game was, that so many different types of music could match.

But two most emotional types have been shown in this thread:
1. creepy
2. building

- that's what the game is exactly about!

What about "sensors" or "radar" to be placed?

I would like that, because one of my left fingers has no feeling in it after an accident. I really have problems to master this game.
+1 +1 +1

I know, the game would become more Diablo feeling, but - is that really that bad? Let the player choose how he wants to steer this...

@ ssilk I don't like any automatic character movement and placing fictitious items. Neither I support crafting with intermediate steps removed. (I don't recall what was the rest of the post about, sorry) I try to make it in short: 1. Remove complexity by reducing needed things to craft (in factorie...

Now that I understand a bit more what you were saying I find it hard to argue :) :twisted: I really don't like to look, if I have enough item XXX left If I remember correctly the logistics robots were originally intended to resupply the player, this would be nice :) Though if that is all they did t...
