Now thats stuff making me happy

Yeah this bothered me also, don't think I cba'd to make a post about it before.

I really dislike how Wube transformed Steam achievements from 1.1 to 2.0 with SA. Especially how those timed achievements simply carried over 1:1, they completely lost their prestige for the people that had them.

But ...

The fact that you can't think of a better one is one thing, but you can't imagine people playing differently ? Have you seen any videos of people playing the game ? To me it feels i can't find 2 that present quality the same way , in that regard i can't agree with your opinion, i believe it is ...

I agree with the OP that Fulgora needs a threat in the form of enemies in the base game .

It's really big part of the game and I think it just did not get implemented yet due to time constraints while developing the expansion pack.

How it will be implemented can be discussed about but I can say I ...

Space Age is a mess compared to 1.1. It was released as a 'finished game' and almost 1,5 years later nothing has really improved. They are presumably working on a big update for half a year now but no progress updates whatsoever.

Vanilla 2.0 is a downgrade compared to 1.1

And I think this is a very valid wish.

It will make the game better and I hope this gets considered for 2.1.

No.

Think I can agree, Space Age needs a lot more work imo. For me personally it was a missbuy. Removal of expensive recipes (higher difficulty) and fluid simulation don't weigh up to the new content for me.

I wonder actually how the sales are doing, somehow I have a feeling it didnt get better with SA ...

they workin on 2.1 now, about time

so prolly less regular patches from now on

/EDIT After more testing it turns out that sometimes, for a unknown reason, the Steam Deck, running in Desktop mode, gets into a state where performance is severely hindered (also other games). Restarting the system restores performance to normal, Factorio runs fine again. This must be a bug in the ...

Cool idea tbh

This

Having read a bit through the different proposals I can say that in my opinion the only one that makes sense so far is letting machines use any quality that is at least good enough as ingredient. Downgrading quality just doesnt make any sense why would you want to do that. In reality a better ...

it's been almost a year, maybe FFF this or next week?

i think it's cool if you CANNOT make lamps in the EMP. Assembling machine ftw.

The randomness factor of quality was one of the system's core properties as pointed out by Kovarex, the lead dev. I don't see how this will be removed from the system. I do think tho that big improvements can be made in terms of mainly balance.

TBH the Marathon and DW Marathon presets make no sense in 2.0 or SA because they just axed the expensive recipes without any retuning.

Deathworld Marathon is just a x4 research cost multiplier with easier enemies than Deathworld. Unlike in 1.1 where it was true hell with the expensive recipes on top.

@OP

Lmao, if that upsets you wait till you find out about the removal of the entire 1.1 fluid mechanics.
