can we talk about how the picture for the collector is a face?


In the pictures they posted here it's not THAT noticeable. But they posted this on Steam:

A funny face obviously doesn't fit the ...

Sorry... :o


At first I was like "Wait, it can read THAT?". But then I realized that the entries don't even match the length of the blurred bits, so it just read the "Space map" headline and hallucinated fitting names. Classic large language ...

Sorry...

Totally awesome! Looking forward to playing with this.

I don't like it. It's so "gamey". Doesn't fit Facorio at all imo.

I've always found Beacons gamey too. (And personally I'd prefer if they were removed from the game.) But adding this quality level is a step in the wrong direction. And while I get it must have been a big job to get all of this ...

I can't really imagine how you could add so much to the game as you're describing. But I'm excited and definitely looking forward to it!

€30 sounds fine. Factorio base game price is a bargain.

But no preorder for me. The last developer I completely trusted (CDPR), disappointed after all. Even with ...

+1 for some improvements in this area. The blinking is obviously not necessary, and when things are intentionally turned off by a power switch it shouldn't display a warning at all. I hope this still gets fixed eventually...

I really like the new beacon design and fluid flushing.
Great work! Keep it up! We love you!

I was about to say pretty much the exact same thing. So; +1

Just take the beacon out of the game. It's impossible to design something that communicates what it actually does, because that's, well, impossible. I mean, a wireless transmitter that somehow boosts a factory's production? Sure. ;)
That's why I almost never use them.

I didn't like the old design ...

Just buy a Synology (a + model). It's great! Really.

Big improvement!

I feel your pain Dominik, but the work is appreciated! With hindsight it's always easy to say if things should have been done differently but this can lead to being afraid to touch something (as a coder) which is really bad. So, glad you stuck to it. It will be better in the end!

I don't like the oil recipe change. It's a huge change, and that's not necessarily bad, but then it should provide huge benefits as well and that's not the case in my opinion.

Very nice! Was hoping it would already be in the game, but sadly no.

Do you still get that feeling when you're surrounded by your factory?

I certainly feel more comfortable when I either see a screen full of factory, or a nice thick wall between me and the rest of the planet.


Doesn't really make a difference for me. What probably does make a difference is just ...

Preface: I've been playing Factorio since the original Steam release. Done a couple playthroughs, logged 193 hours total so far. Love the game.

So, on to my minor (in the grand scheme of things) complaint:

I was planning on another playthrough when the game leaves Early Access. But lately, when ...

You can read the signal after the gate, when its yellow or red it cannot brake at the chain signal, which sorta gives what u need. I made my train crossing like that.

That only works if after the gate there is only one track direction. But if after the gates there is a junction with multiple ...

Okay, the worldmap zooming change I do not like. It was really handy to be able to, provided that you had radar coverage in the area, be able to oversee a huge part of your factory from the world map. Now with the narrower zoom requirements that handy functionality is gone. I really don't ...

Really looking forward to the next release!

Ok, so that's the problem. Let's hope it gets added! That texture looks nice.
