I'm biased because I'm that one guy who thinks Gleba is unironically the most fun planet because of all the unique bs mechanics you have to learn to deal with (not without flaws though). But I'm not sure about the suggestion. When I played initially, I would have definitely agreed (because I just wa...

You know... you could probably try to come up with some arbitrary explanation why the turbine might still not function when not being actively warmed from the outside or something but... Why my 500C° pipe froze?! I mean... I feel like he kind of has a point... a little bit at least... I just find th...

I think displaying the reciprocal (seconds/item instead of items/second), perhaps while holding down a modifier such as shift, could help alleviate precision issues because the resulting numbers tend to... "behave" better in practice.

As soon as cliff explosives are researched, ghost-building underground pipes and belts assumes that they are available. Before cliff explosives, underground pipes would favor changing their placement, and belts would favor underground belt transitions. After researching, cliffs are marked for decons...

This is what I ended up doing, but it feels like a bug or future compat break just waiting to happen.

At least during the opening cutscene, you cannot assign it. I am defensively assuming that there can be other situations where it's broken as well. If this is actually a bug, and it is intended to always be assignable, then that's just that. A fix would be nice. But if not, that's opening a whole ne...

I am talking about the thing that says "Belt speed: 15 items per second" for yellow belt. I disagree with "speed" being the correct terminology in this case, and find it unnecessarily ambiguous. The wiki on this ( https://wiki.factorio.com/Transport_belts/Physics ) is more consis...
