I don't know how I played with old system for 2000 hours when it "literally didn't work" then. And besides, yes, old system isn't great, but this is just not better. Old system had quirks, this one has arbitrary limits because reasons. One step forward, two steps back.


K. Enjoy playing 1.1 ...

I just wanna say LOL at all the people who are crying over this new system and now defending the old system. "It's a little quirky but can be managed."

The old system literally doesn't work. Random machines get starved. Pipes randomly stop flowing. And they're sensitive to placement order? No ...

Just an unimportant off topic question.
Is (or will be) the multi-pointer functionality (2 or more active mouse cursors) supported in Factorio 2.0? Could be fun playing the game with two mice simultaneously.


I am curious... are there any computer games that support this? I've never actually ...

I welcome this change because pipes just don't work currently. I've lost count of how many times I've seen a pipe with 100 liquid sitting next to a pipe with 0 liquid, and it just won't flow. While the "realism" would be nice, I want my liquid systems to actually work. I'm sure the devs can revisit ...

I like one suggestion I heard for the names: just use a simple numbering system with roman numerals. Tier I, Tier II, Tier III, Tier IV, and Tier V.

All I ask is that they can be disabled at the map level. I don't wanna send out reminders to other players or rely on mods. Just lemme turn them off. Problem solved. Everyone wins.

This means, that I had to do many VERY complicated merges into the branch during 1.0 and 1.1 development, as many things were different in the branch, so almost anything that touched internal IDs, GUI, or tests, was almost guaranteed to have a merge conflict. I believe that fellow programmers will ...

People clearly didn't read the whole thing. This entire system is optional . There's no one with a gun to your head saying you have to use it. Just don't unlock the quality modules and you play the game as if they were never there. Problem solved.

The names need changing 100%, a few suggested ...

Not a fan. Sorry.

Factorio largely centers around consistency, particularly for blueprints. I'm already having nightmares of accidentally capturing a "legendary power pole" in my design only to later realize the design will not work with normal power poles. The entire point is that higher tier ...
