Re: Friday Facts #384 - Combinators 2.0

Considering I'm a programmer, I really don't use combinators unless I really need them for a specific use case. I always found it very cumbersome. I don't write conditions like I'm trying to solder them on a circuit board when I work, so I found combinators hard to wrap my head around. Looks like no...

Re: Friday Facts #379 - Abstract rewiring

Not the most flashy FFF, but a good and interesting for sure! It's always amazing to see how much attention is paid to and work dedicated towards improving the little things. I'm very happy to see wiring become a remote-tool, I love doing stuff remotely ever since I got used to the satellite view in...

Re: Friday Facts #377 - New new rails

YES! YES! Oh this is fantastic! Thanks so much for this, this looks like so much fun to toy around with :)) If there's one thing more thing I wish vanilla had, then it would be a roboport-big-power-pole entity that both connects 32 tiles far and covers a 32 logistics area, for that convenient modula...

Re: Friday Facts #376 - Research and Technology

Some people raise the problem that you unlock all the buildings for say oil processing as you go "mine" oil, so then you're not at the place where you produce the buildings to actually process it. Bit of an annoyance for people that are familiar with the game, indeed. May I recommend to ta...

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

AWESOME! Oh my god, this really has me excited! I love the idea of "playing tall". One of the reasons I love krastorio so much, it adds those ridiculously fast machines. This is such a great feature! Instead of just going wide and getting more, I can see myself dedicating a big chunk of pr...

Re: Friday Facts #373 - Factorio: Space Age

Re: Friday Facts #370 - The journey to Nintendo Switch

You know, I really want to know what's in store with the expansion. But here's the thing, you not telling us, it's probably the best thing for me. With Paradox games (EU4, CK3, etc) I always get that feeling of "there's no point to play, big update is coming out soon, and it will have X and Y f...

Re: Friday Facts #369 - To the moon

Masterfully written, very realistic as it just as crazy as the real deal. What really had me going was the to the moon part of the title. I already conjured images of the expansion leading us to space and all that may entail! Can't wait for the next FFF :)

Re: Friday Facts #368 - Steam deck, Ghost bugs, Docs improvements

6 years its been on steam, and god knows how long I started playing this before it got there, with its humble little campaign and all that. Man, it's been a while! Time really flies. I'm glad the road doesn't end here :)

Re: Peak Factorio 17.79 and the hot mess of .18 and 1.0/1.1

I regret reading that long winded post, and resent you, OP, for pretending you'd bring forward concrete reasoning but then did not. Yes, oil is easier to get into, the UI improved a lot and the graphics changed a tad. What that has to do with player retention beats me, why would you even bring that ...

Re: We need more control over bots

I just want one feature, and it would apply to the whole network if enabled (feeding a constant to a roboport, or a GUI toggle on a roboport), and that's "restrict flying to roboport zone". I.e. bots can't fly beyond the construction zone. This would imo solve many issues that can arise wi...

Re: Friday Facts #366 - The only way to go fast, is to go well!

If I was any more experienced in C++ than the short overview I had during my education, I'd be happy to apply for a company with such a mindset. I wish more companies put that much, or could afford to put that much focus on quality and extendability. It always makes me happy to read about your progr...

Re: Friday Facts #365 - Future plans

I think there's opportunity for a smaller DLC before you add more exciting features with a proper expansion. I think a DLC Campaign would be a perfectly fine thing to have. On the upside, if people skip this smaller DLC, it won't affect multiplayer or balance whatsoever, as it is entirely self-conta...
