I feel the wildest thing is that these new mods (planets, quality, rail bridges) are mods and could be monetized much better by being sold as standalone expansions like with the sims.

RNG quality? What a joke. Kinda not funny though. Hope modders will fix this abomination, I can already feel UPS tanking due to this.... :? Don't get your hopes up, most of the most popular mods introduce RNG in some of the recipes.. Re. UPS: yes, your ups will potentially suffer if you mix quality...

I never used landmines in my 900h in this game and I know that i hate them! It drives me nuts landmines are the best strategy for a normal setting speedrun, thereby not making them "optional" at all! Landmines also turn the game into world of tanks and introduce randomness because I cannot...

To the Devs reading this, I feel your pain. Even if people choose not to use this feature, they can (and will) still complain. You only have to go through this once a week, for a year, lol :P I think this will achieve your goal of another form of progression, and it will be fun and interesting to e...

Perhaps someone can clear this up: My understanding of the feature is that it would serve no purpose for the science production (i.e., we don't quality module that, so it is regular products all the way). However, in the end-game we also have a "quality"-subfactory that supplies a mall fo...

I am really warming up to the idea... I have long hoped to see more "recycling loops" in factorio, ala science cards in SE! If the factory spends a good fraction of the resources assembling/disassembling, this would also have some implications in terms of bus-based designs since resources ...

I am very excited we finally got a recycler! I wonder if it jams up or destroys ore and trees? I kind of had mixed feelings about the quality when I was reading it, but I am warming up to the idea. I wonder what a mall for high quality items would look like -- I guess it would first be a belt-based ...

I feel something we are missing in the conversation about the progression is TREES!: What about introducing a new item called the "wood-axe", which is the only way to cut down a tree, and gate it so the player can either get it after exploring the second planet, or find it by mining a spec...

I’ll do some sort of poll once more Space Age information is released and I’ll try to make a decision based on the data. I don’t know what the acceptable threshold would be, it depends on the concerns mentioned earlier but let’s say something like 90%. No matter what, there is going to be a day whe...

You know, there are various mods if you want a slower-paced game :) I highly recommend IR3 lol I really liked IR2 for that reason :-). I plan to check out IR3 after I complete Nullius (another mod with an IMO great take on early progression). The way I see water, cliff explosives and biters is prim...

Why are we discussing this instead of the most important question of the expansion: Will there be more music? My 2c on the cliffs: The way I see water, cliff explosives and biters is primarily as a constraint on how you build: Cliffs and water promotes spaghetti and thinking about the world, while b...

You can check out the streamer 'boldviking' who does a py run with biters. The first video discuss the settings a lot (after which biters completely wreck him) and then the second video discuss even more conservative settings. tl;dr. if you turn them down enough and choose a green biome it looks man...

I don't understand why the developers are apprehensive. All I want for the expansion is a few tweaks to the biters, a few additional music tracks, perhaps a new biome or two, and also that it is as accessible as Vanilla, more complex than Py, has a bigger scope than SE (I am obviously talking about ...

This is a great idea. I'd love to better understand what I should do to help UPS (trains or belts? how bad are boxes? does killing biters outside of the pollution cloud help anything?).

+1. The blueprint creation window (ctrl+c, shift+drag) should simply include a button that says 'Add landfill under all elements'. When pressed, it does exactly what this site does: https://autotorio.com/blueprint when the 'Landfill under entities' button is pressed. I'd argue this is the optimal so...

Boris, I got the three SIMs. Do you want me to make the shirts look like someone ever wore them?
No Ivan, just cut out the labels. If the shirts look worn nobody would believe they were NEO-nazis.

(Disclaimer: Hope this is the right forum. I am still fairly noobish and have limited experience with the mods. I am in the space sciences in SE) A mechanism that I feel space exploration (SE) implements in a really interesting and unique way is trash/byproducts in space. I think this is an interest...

More from bucha. Early reports mention a mass grave with approx 280 people.

Q: why are the troll obsessing about warcrimes?
A: because we are about to see some truly dark shit from the recaptured areas...

Looks like they went house to house in Irpin and gunned down civilians...

I'm really pleased to know that i will be able to protect my blueprints against those people that wants to copy my designs. I am no expert but i foresee however some potential difficulties that may arise when attempting to share a design. What are you, a communist? Sharing a design is fundamentally...
