+1 think of all the clicks saved. All those children in the clickmines will thank you.

Possibly the best running piece of Windows software!

There was no mention of Factorio in any of their other year end gaming coverage. Good to see someone keeping the flame alive lol x

The Legendary Quality version of this would have your factory visible on the planet.

I really like this thread. It reminds me of how I fell in love with factorio in the first place... making mistakes, things going completely wrong from how you thought they would, losing things... and these actions revealing the true nature of the game better than any tutorial or faq.

Please don't ...

Title says it all really. I've been lost in a low drama diorama mind calmer called Happy Glade and it got me daydreaming about factory as far as the eye can see in that exact art style... assemblers and electromagnetic plants shrouded in clouds of pollution, clouds of robots, clouds, etc.

What ...

I bet that stuff is delicious!

That would explain my recent mystifying loss of about 10 hours effort!

The unit test video made me feel a bit funny...

Huge +1!!!

How about making the recipe selection behave as it always used to, with a dropdown in the assembler GUI, after choosing the recipe, to select quality level. That way it can be used on the odd occasion as its required and otherwise ignored.

Good call. The mech armour doesn't necessarily feel like an upgrade when I can move faster staying on the ground!

I mentioned my thinking in another thread regarding order of production importance of quality items.

But from there it would ...

Not exactly game breaking but inconvenient.

From my fuel storage tanks i have a pump and a tank before each set of 3 engines. The pump is set to enable only when the tank is above 30 (duplicate for fuel +oxidiser) this gives about ...

I think the FIRST thing to produce with quality is Quality Modules, because all else will flow from this...

Edit:

... closely followed by labs, if they have quality. I'm off to check now

1 million hours muscle memory broken, and it means having to look at the keyboard to left hand enter. Breaks the flow for little to no gain.

I had this happen just now! Luckily the massive worm had buggered off by the time I got back, also it ATE my super expensive imported-ingredient miners! I shot my machine gun at it to little avail, and in fact it seemed to telepathically explode me from a distance. Weird. Not looking forward to ...

Attached. You should be able to load in, press P, switch to 250 hr scale and its right there as above.

Forgive my terrible spaghetti and clear lack of foresight if you start poking around!
