I'm just having 1.5-month FFF withdrawal :?


You already know about the Alternative Friday Factorio Fan Facts?

Yeah, I do. It's like "non-alcoholic vodka" (Slav joke - basically a water under label you desire)
Edit: I ...

I'm just having 1.5-month FFF withdrawal

Woohoo! Can't believe it! Congrats!

Warning: just another Factorio-related personal story ahead:
Myself, havent played for...um... 4,5 years... (there were reasons) But haven't skipped any single FFF! I'll miss them. In fact, I already do. All these years I even had a feeling I never ceased playing ...

The nuke explosion... It is simply... spectacular. Brilliant job.

Oil puddle could really have some animation. Maybe some bubbles? It isn't very repeatative object in game, so it would be acceptable, I suppose.

Also: Landmine remnants? Really? Shouldn't they end up shattered and scattered over the area?

Both news are just perfect.

So finally I decided to put my foot down, call it good enough and say no to the constant stream of changes.
Fair enough.
In my native language there is a proverb:
"Better is a foe to good".
It means, you always can do better, but at some point it becomes wasteful usage of resources (including time ...

Well, now movement looks so natural, that bushes not being squished by car look somewhat out of place...)

There shouldn't be decoratives on paths/concrete in the first place. Placing down tiles should automatically pave over them. It's one reason why I turn them off altogether


+1.

At times like this, I wish there was just "thumb's up" button, 'cause posts like this one up to this paragraph feels ...

New design is cool, however I don't feel good about bottom "lightnings". To me, as an engineer electro-mechanist, they look... dangerous. Like something went wrong with insulation and it now discharges onto surrounding, and about to explode. This is not healthy machine design. I'd rather make some ...

We will (...) try to get everything at a consistent level of quality for 1.0.
That sounds fair, until you remember... well forgive me for heresy... Rimworld "1.0+" GUI! Well, it is consistent indeed. It is awfully terrible all over : )
Once again, it's NOT about Factorio at any means, but I just ...

Seeing the new statistics windows for electricity, I was suprised to see the same figure in satisfaction (100%=37.8GW) and production (37.8GW = 95%?) with different bar widths — but obviously one is "37.8GW satisfied out of 37.8GW requested" while the other is "37.8GW used out of a max of 40GW ...

Campaign cancelled

That's... unexpected... and disturbing.
I mean, campaign was always there, providing some different experience, despite being inconsistent, and now loosing something feels worse than not ever having it at all.

Thinking about games' campaigns in general, many of them do not ...

IMO:
Way campaign should go is determined by two factors: level finishing estimated time and quantity of levels in campaign.
If level is long enough - you should go with new-level-new-map approach.
If campaign is quite long - continuous rebuilding will be boring (since you will quickly run out of ...

2kk congrats!

It looks quite weird that all the blood drops in water in just 2 waves... (It isn't so obvious when hitting ground) It's WIP, I suppose though : )

I feel it'd be more natural to spawn spray of blood particles for dying WORMS from it's maw.
I believe it is not very hard, because death animation is somewhat fixed, thus one can define particle spawn point and direction (or average direction) just based on entity rotation and timing synchronized ...

I think, "outputted item" tooltip should not appear on default. Make it pop up, say, on holding shift (adding "hold shift to..." tip on main tooltip). Would result in more efficient screen space, IMO.

PS. +1 to belt batching idea suggested above

Speaking of low- and high- level WoW areas: it would be interesting to make biters' difficulty to rise from starting area outwards.
This would mean certain things
- biter evolution may be taken away, 'cause it will be faced directly by progressing through map, instead of "pollution produced" it'd be ...

Maybe locking underground pipes in pairs would work? I.e., building in pairs and removing in pairs. No rotating, but suddenly allowing the thing which we do with different tier belt, when you can de-facto run 3 belts through 1-tile width.

Although it'd make more sense to use gravel-like texture for ...
