The discord invite seems to be invalid. If that is intended, could you please give details as to what server and faction it is? Is it the PvP one? Alliance or Horde? I was intending to give WoW another whirl myself, might as well do it on that one and see where it takes me.

Thanks!

The point of "all requests fulfilled" is to keep the platform there even if the planet cannot satisfy the request. Not having it means "you can leave if some requests CANNOT be fulfilled".

I honestly never considered a situation where I'd want my ship to leave if it has requests that can be ...

No, not really... this exact idea (hiding when hovering entity) was tested during our lan party in september and almost everyone hated it to the point we did a hotfix removal of it. There are also practical use cases of not hiding minimap like seeing radar coverage when building them. Universal ...

I share the concern that legendary quality is available too late. You're done settling new planets by the time you get it, so all it's good for is the space platform or the postgame? In my opinion legendary quality should unlock before Aquilo.

My preferred way to go about it would be like this. On ...

There is a mod that does that, I can't quite recall the name currently as I'm playing unmodded.
Basically, when hovering over an entity, like say a power pole, the minimap collapses.
Why? This makes it so the entity UI beneath where the minimap is, is no longer cut off, and can be read in full. This ...

I was worried about buying it through the website, expecting a delay, but it all went flawlessly for me, took a few more minutes and 32 cents extra as compared to buying on steam, but worth it. Good luck with the launch. Looking forward to a lot of stuff, but particularly all the new things boskid ...

Thanks for the confirmation Sanqui!

Maybe there is an option to claim a "website-key" from the base-game when I bought in on steam?


Yes you link your account on Factorio.com with your steam account and whichever way you buy it, you can use it both standalone and on steam.


Oh that's neat. I thought you needed to buy through ...

Honestly I have no idea what their backend looks like, but odds are it's not been made with the thought withstanding a flurry of thousands purchases all at once, as that was never necessary before. I'm genuinely worried that buying it through the website, which is better for the devs and for me, is ...

Do you open purchases on your website early so we can be sure we get our key on time for release? If purchases on your website only opens at release time I'll not risk having the key delayed and buy on steam instead. I'd rather buy here directly but not if it means I might have to wait even more ...

Any idea, when can we actually buy (or pre-order) the DLC? only on Monday or earlier?

One issue with this is if everyone is buying at the same time, it might cause issues or outages, delaying people from getting the game. Also people might have issues with their payment ...

Personally I'm worried that video thumbnails and titles will give away too much. Maybe they have a soft agreement with content creators to make spoiling content strictly opt-in, by being able to show whatever they want, but keep thumbnails and titles modest enough and not plaster yet undisclosed ...

Has there been a rework in how heat pipes work, similar to the fluid rework? Or does it still work as in 1.1?

Over all I am honestly surprised that this does not seem to be a concern for more people.


Why should it be? If a game can be permanently spoiled by a single screenshot - that would be quite a shitty game. And if you can't resist watching a 24-hour marathon for a week, it's kinda on you. The ...

Okay okay, so I I just thought about something. The synthetic spawners, ye? What if they come with quality enabled, and quality determines what the egg hatches into? A normal quality one would spawn yellow biters, uncommon reds, rare blues and epic greens. That leaves legendary unaccounted for - a ...

Jesus, one week of lifted embargo. I'm gonna have to unsub a whole lot channels for a week it seems lol

The changes to Gleba look phenomenal. Seriously considering going there first now. The bonus, double science, sounds like it will definitely be a worthwhile thing that can compete with the ...

I think a gradual throughput penalty is out of the question because it inevitably increases compute requirements by an unacceptable amount.

That is because the point of the new system is to treat the whole fluid network (or each of those 250x250 areas) as one big fluid box. That will dramatically ...

I've read a lot of the comments here and i just don't understand it. The example video was very unclear... why did the pump need to be placed?? because somewhere off screen the pipeline exceeded 250 tiles in total length? It's not respresented well if thats the case

And then there's the whole ...

Slightly tangential, but I was thinking the other week about major breaking changes by version:

2.0: train curves, large fluid networks
0.15: science, boilers
0.12: turrets

What others am I missing?


Don't remember the version, but belt corners was also a huge one. I guess it did not break ...

I'm surprised the feedback was positive, so I'm probably not really getting how it will actually feel in game without trying it. To me, that artificial 250x250 space limitation sounds, well, artificial and unfun. It may not be constraining, but it sure sounds like it might be annoying when *suddenly ...
