I am of the impression that my comments about furnace size are being interpreted as me encountering difficulties forming strategies to deal with the size change. This is not the case. I’d adjusted to the size change before I made my first post. My argument is, and has always been, in regard ...

I’m not arguing that there should not be tradeoffs, only that building size as a tradeoff introduces tedious rebuilding of one’s layout which is not a good tradeoff, especially since this is the single and only such tradeoff in the game.

If size changes add so much goodness to the game (I argue ...

Again, I thank you for providing details and reasoning. I’ve pinged the original thread and have, for the most part, accepted that this is not likely to change. While I don’t agree with the outcome, I still very much enjoy the game, so I’ll deal.

As for the coal vs. electric furnaces, while I doubt ...

I understand the change is not likely.
Just adding my dissention.
I'll deal with the size difference.
It's not like this is the first game design to confuse depth with tedium.

I concur with Tirou.

I understand the idea that part of the fun of Factorio is rethinking things as new tech comes along, but a forced redesign of one smelting pipeline for no obvious reason is just tedious. Redesign due to poor planning is expected, but redesign because of what appears to be an ...

I thank you for the link, but I disagree with the conclusions.

Please standardize furnace sizes.

All other upgradable buildings are of the same size as their original. Only furnace upgrades require restructuring one's base layout, due to their increasing sizes.

Reorganizing parts of one's base because one did not plan correctly is part of the challenge of the ...
