I love you guys, i love this game.
my vacation is set for the games release, though i am sadly losing the weekend where i will just be sitting at home and staring at the clock for 48 hours(or even more since release will probably be around noon in europe?)

anyways the wait for 2.0 will soon be over ...

i canot express, in any humanly available words, how much i have been anticipating this FFF post. thank you for finally giving up on the (badly) simulated realism of fluids.
lets be real, conveyorbelts have never been realistic at all, carrying up to 8 buildings with a size of 3x3 on a 1x1 size tile ...

thats an interesting take on the farming mechanic. i guess its better to have a harvester harvest plants in the "wild", compared to having a farm as a building, because the scale of the plants in the farm would not match their counterparts in the wild(unless the farmbuilding was huge).
the spoilage ...

i cant wait to utterly ruin the entire ecosystem of this lush green planet!

kudos guys

Oh come on, you're really going to make us wait another week to see what's going on?! Earendel, you TEASE!


That's the trick. They release some vague information, and have us speculate about the implications, and then they scoop up the good ideas and implement them.


all of 2.0 has just ...

these are all very good and important quality of life improvements. i am as always in awe at the dedication of the factorio devs.
somehow i get the feeling that factory-like genres tend to be run by a lot more passionate devs than any other genre that i have seen so far.
maybe because they are not ...

wow i didnt know that i needed this feature, but now that i saw it.... how did i ever do it without it?!

bro i want that building-construction animation everywhere, not just on the platform! its so good looking, feels like im playing old time rts again!!

I am super excited about the quality mechanic and i am definitely going to rush +1 medium electric Poles asap for that sweet both sides of an assembler-reach hehe.
it makes me think that maybe we will be getting "quality"-enemies aswell, depending on difficulty/evolution level etc. imagine a big-ass ...
