...There is now one less toy to play with in the sandbox.


I hope that most of the people in this conversation are small children, otherwise, it's a group of adults having a temper tantrum about how the grown-ups removed one of their toys from their sandbox, and now they're very, very mad! In ...

Yeah, I really don't know what the idea was behind introducing another type of foundation and making it super late-game. I suppose they wanted to players to grapple again with building around tricky terrain, and landfill was too easy a solution?


It's basic gameplay progression. Much later in ...

You'll either have to play a stable version (currently 2.0.77 or earlier) or you'll have to live with that mod disabled. It sounds like you'll probably want to play this game with a stable version so that your mods will all work.

What changes do you believe were last minute and or what changes do you think are buggy and will need fixing?


I don't have any specific bugs right now.


So this is basically speculative complaining?


I haven't complained once. I don't know what you were reading. You may have me confused ...

Define “new”.


New to the public. It seems like the public finds lots of bugs.

This seems like a new of new software being released at the end of the development lifecycle for Factorio.
But, really, so long as Wube is committed to continue to fix bugs as well as they do now (I ...

Thus my opinion has been ignored and I'm left to piece together a sandbox with mods, or look for other games.


Or, just play any other version of the game that Wube so graciously allows us to play. You make it sound like Wube is forcing to you play a certain version of Factorio a certain way ...

This is the first bigger patch with new features after nearly 2 years from space age release and you are really talking about things being rushed? :roll:


I'm not concerned that they're rushed, per se. I'm more concerned that Wube has announced that further development on Factorio has largely ...

I don't have any specific bugs right now. If I did, I'd file bug reports. It seems like there a lot of new QOL things that are probably quite complex to program that are being pushed ...

I think it's great the Wube has decided that it's time to wrap up Factorio. At some point, software should be complete. But the number of last minute changes they're making right now is sort of ridiculous. All of these significant changes are going to introduce a not insignificant number of bugs ...

How is playing Factorio "grinding"? Are people physically moving things with the engineer late game? Are people sitting and watching the assemblers work late game? If there's any game where the word "grinding" makes no sense, it's Factorio.


Apparently the definition of grinding also include ...

The problem to me is that applying it over and over and over just becomes repetitive / tedious, which is why I'd love to see more approaches being possible or quality getting integrated into the rest of the game in a more fundamental way such that it isn't just something that happens somewhere on ...

I, honestly, think that the price of the base game is barely enough. 35$ is a very low price for the mods support, replayability, thousands of free servers and a game that you can download and launch almost anywhere you want.


I couldn't agree more. For what you get $35, is extremely low. Heck ...

Perhaps one should consider automating the process.

Except, they're not. You're free to play any previous version of Factorio for the rest of your life.

:roll:
What kind of argument is that even? Maybe we should remove belts from the game, and if anyone complains they can go play the old version.

They're closing a loophole that unbalances ...

the devs are taking something out of the game that people found fun with zero replacement. No quality rework, no new ways to produce quality items, just 'Ok you can't build that anymore, go do something else'.


Except, they're not. You're free to play any previous version of Factorio for the ...

Yes, getting high quality items will take longer, but you'll arguably have to do less work since upcycling will become the go-to method for everything. There'll be little need for anything past adjusting the same old upcycling blueprint, after all.


The "work" in creating quality items has ...

Removing space casinos simply forces everyone to build upcyclers on Vulcanus.


I finished Space Age with Legendary everything and I did 0% upcycling on Vulcanis. Never created a single legendary iron plate, either.


while upcycling is just several foundries and a circular belt on a planet ...

All of the game sounds are stored as simple audio files in /factorio/data/base/sound/. You can just play them in your favorite local music player and play on repeat.

Oh, I see... there's the "Station Picker". I had not noticed that before. It's not as easy to use as the main station chooser, but it's a whole lot better than nothing. Thanks for the suggestion!
