Pls build a direct download possibility

I was also looking for a direct factorio.com purchase link

It's probably been said already but the biggest thing for me with circuit networks is not being able to see the contents of a very large network. If you have too many signals, mousing over a power pole or something similar will display some of the network, but the rest of it will continue off ...

Thanks for that feature, being able to build over water will be so useful, I will test it as soon as I can

It’s so cool that Earendel works on it too, I’m so hyped!

Thanks for the confirmation

Hello,

While trying to connect, the game says that it can’t connect to auth.factorio.com. If I mtr, the trace ends at the edge of my network. Which, given the IP address, is to be expected, it’s not a public address!

Idea for a tip:

This is a problem that I had, and saw it in a few streamers that were new to the game — new players don't even consider that it's possible to put productivity modules into labs, or even science packs recipe; even if they are already using them for blue circuits.


Indeed, I never ...

I think that basic shortcuts for “monitoring” GUIs would be nice to have in the tips, like l gives logistic status, p the balance between consumption and production, clicking on a pole give power graphs, etc.

Hi,

TL;DR
If the screen is too small, part of the menu will be outside and the info on it will be unreadable and useless.

What ?
I’m suggesting that the menu auto-split with a second column or that we could be able to scroll.
