Very nice additions. Might I suggest an interrupt condition called "Target Is Valid" that only passes when, well, the target has a valid stop? It might be useful to have some generic interrupts that don't put the train into a "No Path" state if the station doesn't exist, and inst...

To hop onto the quality name suggestion dog pile, how about just ditching the adjective altogether and instead using the symbol? Our tabletop group uses symbols to indicate quality, (─,△,◻,☆,✶ instead of +1,+2,etc) and maybe that would suit here as well. Less to worry about for localization (some la...

Looks like very few people like this idea. The consensus on steam is no one likes this idea. When anything new is introduced (in a game or anywhere in live) it is really the people who disagree with or dislike the new thing who speak out most. The people who see the FFF and go "Oh, okay that's...

I like the change, and I'm honestly quite surprised at the negative reactions here. I'll have to check it out on my poorly calibrated monitor at home later to see if it makes a difference. (Edit: I can see it looks a little less appealing on my crumby home monitor than it did on my Surface. Perhaps ...

I'm getting this error since the last Factorio update :

Likewise. Going back to 0.17.62 got rid of the error. I wonder what changed in the update to cause this.

I worry that the land mines will be far more visible on some terrains (sand) compared to others, putting some teams at a disadvantage.

If I may ask, what was the rationale for giving Storage Warehouses 250% more slots than other warehouses? From what I've seen, it just causes everyone I see to use them in place of normal and passive provider warehouses. This invariably causes my OCD to go absolutely bonkers. Particularly when othe...

My 0.13 expectations are growing to a point where they will be difficult to meet. I'm also getting worried about bugs. Every few feature will introduce bugs, and there are a LOT of new features coming. As for the signals. Would it be possible to allow us to bypass the placement checks by holding Shi...

I fiddled around with the train thing myself in Blender. While the stretching still quite obvious, I think using some quadratic easing makes it a much smoother transition. (It looked like the GIF in the FFF used linear interpolation, as it size seemed to 'bounce' when it went horizontal.) With grid:...

We haven't yet figured if all the experimental updates will go to Steam, or what exactly will be the model, but we are working on that. Pretty sure you can upload multiple branches to Steam. Players can choose which branch they want to play from the "Betas" tab of the game's property page.

FYI, I had to rename a few LUA files and folders to lowercase in order for the mod to work while zipped. It appears things are case sensitive in zips.

Thanks for the mod!

Trees can just throw themselves into a special list when they get damaged. No need to tick every tree.

Nice mock up!

If nothing else is planned for that space, then I'd totally second this suggestion.

I like the idea of a third party. Two sorts of natives to the planet. One who seeks peace, and another that thrives for war. Building an resource hungry pollution factory is a very different experience from building an efficient and eco-friendly factory, and that provides a good level of replayabili...

I eventually came to the realization that electric furnaces are NOT an upgrade from steel furnaces. They're more a sidegrade if anything. Consider the following: Due to the larger footprint, you can only fit 2 electric furnaces in the space that 3 steel furnaces could occupy. Since they have the sam...

I love the idea. If I had any sort of talent, I'd draw a picture of the player holding out a bright light source to a medium biter, which is holding out a dimly glowing artifact to the player. (Do they glow? I feel like they would.) They look and behave more like animals than a civilisation. Dats ra...

It took me a while until I learned how it all works. Some things are closed with E others with Q. I can't remember off hand anything that required Q. Jog my memory? When I want to place a building and my mouse is already at the correct position I notice that I am too far away. Then I come closer, b...

The wiki should probably be updated to match the game, but it's kinda out of date in a number of areas anyway... As for the idea, how about another modifier key? (Alt?) The idea being that it enables you to queue any item already on the tool belt, whether it is out of stock or not. Don't need to mar...

I've been thinking about this problem for a while as well, and have come up with nothing either. Single-purpose items are simply never a good idea. I don't think it's a matter of complexity, but just bad design. As Alton Brown often said, the only uni-tasker that should be found in the kitchen is a ...
