Instead of just bashing the guy why don't u come up with something like I did. It's evident SOMETHING needs to happen because current 2.0 Marathon does not live up to the legacy.

I would rather have expensive recipes back for 2.1 and Space Age, be it in a official mod.

Main reason im playing 1.1 still because Marathon is just the real deal.

DW Marathon was balanced around 1.1 expensive recipes which don't exist anymore in 2.0. Due to this, DW Marathon was the hardest difficulty in 1.1 but is it possible easier than DW in 2.0.

Yeah it's a crapshow I know, that's why I play 1.1.

I don't see the problem with that. If the achievement means to launch a rocket to space without using solar energy then I would assume that includes portable solar panels. Also, while this achievement kinda had a meaning in Vanilla, in Space Age there is nothing special about launching a rocket ...

Because then they can change the no solar achievement to also not allowing to research the tech, bringing it in line like the OP wants.

Ok wow that blows. So you're forever stuck with either your current version of the game OR the latest version on the Nintendo servers.

This is a huge downside not mentioned enough TBH.

I am wondering one thing; if I were to buy Factorio on Nintendo Switch right now, is there a way to install version 1.1.110?

I think it is fine as it is. Instead they should allow you to use boilers in space with certain types of fuel as per my suggestion so that you can indeed skip researching solar panels completely without being deadlocked after launching the first rocket.

And even if they don't do that, I really want ...

Great idea tbh, for 2.1.

Well that sounds interesting, makes the worms more challenging for sure!

It's only about bugfixes tho. I am really interested what gameplay/balance changes they are planning but I understand they would like to keep that secret.

I really hope they take this in the right direction because I gave up on Space Age and especially on 2.0 and went back to playing 1.1 again ...

I think its a good idea

Rest in peace, one of the very few Factorio content creaters I actually enjoyed watching. The good die young

There he is again, mr. wall of text opposing any balance changes to the game that would logically make the game better but would probably break his personal blueprints thus are these valid arguments disrespectfully dismissed as 'misleading', 'unclear' and similar terms that he uses when he fails to ...

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.
