Top job folks, much love. My gaming machine doesn't go online, so would it be possible to save the galaxy file then upload it from laptop? What if you saved the game right before it ended, then loaded up Factorio and that save on your online laptop? There's an autosave every 10 minutes so if you mi...

I made a suggestion for a similar feature inspired by Dyson Sphere Program. I'm not sure if you were directly inspired by that game, saw my post, or just independently came up with it on your own, but this is a great new addition that adds a community feeling to a game that otherwise feels disconne...

Website is having issues as I predicted. *sigh*

Edit: Took a bit but I finally was able to buy it!

Any idea, when can we actually buy (or pre-order) the DLC? only on Monday or earlier? space age.png 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, such as the b...

This new fluid system of 250 size limit is actually amazing, because it could potentially be applied to power grids. Have a high voltage and medium voltage power system. High voltage has infinite range, but medium voltage has a limited grid size just like the new fluid, and connects to the high volt...

My assumption is the current achievements will remain, but new achievements will be added that can only be acquired if you have the expansion.

The first set of names sound much cooler than the rest. "Legendary Solar Panel" just sounds cooler than "Perfect Solar Panel". Number and letter grades are garbo.

Still disappointed with the whole Quality thing. I recall in the original FFF, where it was introduced, there was information about an option to disable Quality altogether. Hopefully, this is still the case. Another thing I'd like to disable is faster belts and stackable items on belts, as I see th...

The SA expansion has so much complexity being added, and the total conversion mods currently out are brain melting. The simplifying of the fluid system will fit perfectly with the increasing scope of the game. Future total conversion mods will greatly expand the complexity, too. So don't worry about...

Wouldn't it be great if the rain actually did something, rather than just looked nice. Like filling up lakes so you have to contend with flooding (unless you pump it out), or water collectors which only fill when it's raining. Or even hazards like acid rain which damage things if you don't protect ...

Does your lead artist have trypo-fetish? As someone who is suffering from trypophobia — base game nests are already somewhat uncomfortable to look at, but it's manageable. Even some item icons in the past were triggering it. I'm thankful that they were updated. But looking at this planet outright m...

This must mean the Switch port didn't do so well. Sadness.

So I love Chocolate Ice Cream. I think it's the best ice cream ever. But sometimes I think "I've been having chocolate ice cream nearly my entire life, I should try other flavors". So I do, but they aren't as good. The novelty of having something other than chocolate is overshadowed by it ...

If you've read the blogs, the expansion adds significant depth to the gameplay. Not sure how you can say the new planets seem like they would get uninteresting, since the starter planet is just flat land with some obstacles that all can be worked around early game (trees mowed down, water filled in,...

Just like achievements, mods could disable it. Or mods could have their own seperate category

TL;DR A universe map or global stat system that shows the combined player metrics for everyone playing Factorio. What ? This is directly inspired by Dyson Sphere Program's Cosmo system, where you can see all the players current power generation. https://forums.factorio.com/download/file.php?mode=vi...

One inherited problem involving non-deterministic recipes like those is that one of the outlets can become bottlenecked if consumption is not balanced. For example, solid fuel is the second most common material on average. Lightning rods absorb energy during the night into accumulators, Ice + offsh...

What?

Incredibly exciting, can't wait to see what you have to show us! I'm sure the expansion will suck another 1000 hours out of my life, just as the original did.

This doesn't work. I ran the command, it said achievements were disabled, but my name still appears as is on the map. https://i.imgur.com/shbl4oX.png https://i.imgur.com/AoYIYLr.png Note: This is the first result on google for hide player names factorio which is why I am bumping it.
