After that we can work on solar powered flashlights.

Lets us automate the alien killing process somehow, then go about nerfing the "cheese" tactics.

@Andzoak/schwarzie2478: Why would you want to lengthen the time spent in early game? The game doesn't really start until you begin research. Slowing that down wouldn't benefit anyone.

We already have water pipes. Currently, I think the game map is 1 level, to add stuff to water, it would need a level below water. I also don't see why.

Put the chemical plants much further away, and/or have the refinery run into tanks first. (also distanced from other plants.)

Umm... you can. Press enter when near the engine.

I figured out on my 3rd freeplay map, that a conveyor should be limited to 2-3 materials at a time, ever. One side of the conveyor is for X item, and the other side is for Y item, and that's it. Conveyors are easy, and yellow ones are fairly cheap, so just space stuff out for the early materials, th...

Since water doesn't "flow", there's no reason not to just fill it in where it's no needed. Some level of terraforming would be interesting.

Being able to ride the train would be one way of adding more transport options.

As long as the boiler has fuel and is connected to a water source, then the steam engine, it should have power.

The Railgun should be really high damage and really slow firing. The ultimate in anti armor or big enemies, but really bad for swarms. I don't think the T3 turret should just be a straight upgrade from T1/2.

Pretty sure the default is enter.

Make a power line -copper bar and wood

I feel like the biters encroaching on me is far more limiting than resource acquisition. Conveyors are easy to make, defense/offense is not.

I think the cost is fine (minus T4, as it doesn't require anything factory related). If anything, the research cost is the wierd part. The research recipes require the same amount of each science pack, rather than more of the previous packs, like I would expect. There's not a lot of incentive to kee...

Id rather see Factorio focus more on the factory making side over the combat.

I found this game because of NorthernLion. He made a decently long video (40-50mins I think), but I stopped watching after 15~ minutes and bought the game.

The game feels like it has 2 phases. First, you build up your factory, then you get to science 4 recipes and then the game switches to mediocre combat. I don't see a lot of reason to continue building up the factory after getting some good science 3 automation running, since I don't care for the com...
