I don't think the recipes should be altered, but multiple progression paths would be nice.

Being searchable with google also brings in spammers

Yeah, VRAM exhaustion. High graphics requires 256M continuous VRAM block (plus ~500M total). You might have to edit the config file manually to enable low graphics setting.

This will eventually be fixed, but AFAIK unfortunately not in the next patch.

As said, the icon will disapear and the engine will start to produce power the moment you connect it to a machine that consumes electric energy. Quite. Many thanks to all who quickly came to the aid of an inept blind person :oops: It's never the player's fault. Adding some tooltips to all status ic...

Early game needs to be a little bit annoying, for the player to be able to appreciate the value of automation.

It's interesting how often this actually happens. I mean, it's almost like it's more than one in a thousand chance or something. Which means, with 25k customers... plenty of people are going to have bad time :) PS. There's actually a more nasty variant of this, and it's the large island one. After t...

Not a bug, although it's definitely confusing. You have to get into the car for the resources in the car to count.

Well, biters do repopulate areas and create new nests. They form a group of runners and go to some random place, running straight through your base sometimes...

libraries like Allegro are specifically cross-platform. As long as you only use cross platform libraries, sure. But eventually you're going to need some functionality that you can't find a library for, such as deciding where to store savegame files. You might also want to support some platform spec...

There should definitely be a button for this added into UI somewhere, perhaps near the minimap, to toggle this. Hidden magic keys are annoying.

Ok, Thanks for your help! I'll just remember that after every play session that I need to make a backup of my world. In theory, the game might be failing to save your world properly, writing only zeroes. So, after a play session, perhaps you should try to open the savegame zip before you quit the g...

what does you make think that it is unity? I mean there came out a lot for unity game engine recently, but many really good games don't use unitiy at all. Probably just the fact that it supports multiple platforms. Indie developers with custom engines usually only target Windows because of the extr...

Indeed, it's empty with no data whatsoever.

It's strange that it's so large though, the size you'd expect from a savefile.

Needs the "[graphics]" section there first too, and yes the space needs to be escaped. Other than that I suppose it'd work... Ugh, yes, this is probably more work than just fixing it manually

It's a custom engine written in c++ with allegro for graphics. Infinite worlds are quite messy with unity3d anyway.

Full graphics is the default, and sometimes you need to enable the low graphics setting manually for Mac. This is because the game could fail to load even the UI graphics correctly, so you can't operate the menus to set low graphics mode that way. Anyway, the config.ini should be there if you have l...

One thing that's sort of bothering me a little... Navigate the people to the forum as the main source of support (because we have a fantastic community^^). With the volume of posts on these forums increasing, it could end up being too much for the community to handle. You might need a plan B. There'...

I don't understand the whole steam stuff. Factorio has an automatic updater and no multiplayer - why use steam? Because of more payment methods? Could be the case. Steam isn't just a sales and distribution platform, it's most importantly a marketing platform that allows you to reach a huge number o...

Absolutely go for the higher price. And regarding taxes and stuff, figure out tax deduction stuff and see what kind of investments you can make cheaply when you get a huge surge of money from your Steam launch. It might be a good time to buy new hardware and high quality furniture if you can make th...

I'm pretty confident 256M is not going to be enough for low graphics if 1024M is not enough for full. The problem then has to be found somewhere else (some undiscovered bug) 1024M is more than enough for all the full sprites normally. Well, this got me curious, so I closed a bunch of other apps and...
