Re: Friday Facts #385 - Asteroid Collector

SUGGESTION: advance model of spidetron, would be a spaceatron.
same capability but with ability to travel in space without dangerous need for attachment points.
More like current EVA suits/equipment

Re: Friday Facts #357 - Nuke

Need to add true down side of nuclear energy, radioactive (why one of many reasons solar/accumulators is better) Also a comment about technological development, in the real world nuclear was before solar development and we still have not cracked "accumulators" energy density problem. hopef...

Re: Friday Facts #339 - Beacon HR + Redesign process

(new beacon) "War of the Worlds" Martian steampunk vs (old beacon) a dated pre-factorio beacon.
Xterminator's idea of a surrounding glow sounds interesting.

Re: error on new game (18.13) start

thanks much,
elected to save appdata/roaming/factorio file, then uninstall and reinstall in one sitting which seemed to work.
note do not know where "Steam 'validate install'" is.
freeplay, Krastorio 2 works
Thanks again

The case for more Scenario Development

Opinion: Traditionally Factorio is 80% for builders, 20% split between fighters and explorers. I am not into factorio mega base building (gasp) but do enjoy solving factory problems, also like exploring and over coming pesky bitters. I had stop playing, no interesting scenarios. But watched Xtermina...

Factorio refreshed

Traditionally factorio has been about 80% builder, 10% explorer and 10% warrior The use of a great scenario like " Nauvis Post Collapse" demonstrates how factorio can be refreshed into a different game This scenario is about 40% warrior, 35% explorer and 25 % builder. The factory is there ...

True confessions, death by drowning

I have been killed by massed biters, flaming biters, biter acid, and of course by Train. Now a new one, drowning. There I was on Nauvis, mining the large bridge approaches for reinforced concrete when the section I was standing on was taken by my personal bot -- splash! There was only water beneath....

some biter bases are set as invincible for challenge purposes but if you dont like that open up the editor and feel free to remove that trait :3
I think invincible setting in any game defeats the idea of a game, why play?
How would you edit invincible setting?
thanks much for the great scenario.

Re: Friday Facts #258 - New autoplace

Been away from Fartorio, tried Deathworld, it would have been nice to know there was no oil, not just in started area but on map. I have 6 radars going and still
no oil. The player does need to know which direction to expand in for oil, else a bust.
