Re: Friday Facts #437 - Cargo Pod Deep Dive


I think I may speak for a lot a people who's first reaction was also similar to: "WTF is that ugly rocket!?"


No, I don't think people were saying that. If you're going to be immature and rude about it, I don't think the developers will nod in agreement about something that's very easily modable ...

Re: Friday Facts #437 - Cargo Pod Deep Dive


The old rocket looked to much better! From the very first time I saw the new rocket ingame, it looked crooked and asymetric from the angle depicted. It's only now from the scetches in this FFF that I realize it is not actually supposed to be "crooked".

It's very sad to me that the old *famous ...

Re: Friday Facts #432 - Aquilo


Another week, another FFF introducing "new" things I've already experienced in mod overhauls (albeit with a different coat of paint). This time it's mechanics from seablock and IR3's steam era (i.e. routing pipes to everything). How Wube gets away with selling a repackaged mash-up from free ...

Re: Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

Long distance fluid pipelines were already really good, so when I saw the changes a few weeks back I was curious how fluid wagons would be left off. Seems like the play testers answered that question lol. It's nice to see this get treated delicately, instead of just increasing/changing costs/recipes ...

Re: Friday Facts #427 - Combat Balancing & Space Age LAN



Although it's nice to see the Pve balance being gauged again- one damage type I didn't see any changes for was fire. No thoughts on flame turrets? Personally, I just plop them down and forget biters even exist until I need to push a nest that's on top of an ore patch

Re: Friday Facts #426 - Resource search & Assembler GUI improvements


And this time it is my mod ascended , more QoL for all!
Guess I'll have to find a new thing to work on... :D


A key difference I noticed between your mod and the latest feature is that your mod seems to account for oil (/liquids), but the FFF does not seem to have that feature. They likely just ...

Re: Friday Facts #418 - Space Age release date

108 days away! sounds great! game will be heftier to gift to friends but id gladly say 70$ dollars isn't too bad in this era of gaming. I will say the post is kind of an early overview isn't it? There's still the topic of the undisclosed planet, enemies, etc- but for now I'd assume the overview ...

Forgive me, I know I'm probably the 6th person to say this but there could maybe be some visual tweaks for the agricultural tower? I can't stop looking at it without feeling it looks a bit off, with the more obvious being that it kinda ...

Re: Friday Facts #414 - Spoils of Agriculture


How is this concept functional together with quality? I'm not sure if it is a good idea to have items with different quality and changing durability at the same time. In my opinion it is overcomplicated.


Considering quality isn't mentioned in the post, I am guessing that all spoilable items ...

If we look at the images provided it seems they can stack just fine together. I imagine the system works by averaging the total spoilage of a stack, likely keeping count of the highest spoilage value of each stack as to avoid players refreshing the spoilage with new product.

Re: Friday Facts #414 - Spoils of Agriculture


Spoiling materials/resources create a need to be prompt with using them. Seeing spoilage times being even minutes, as stated in the FF, creates in me a sense of urgency, racing. Factorio has never been about racing to a goal, it's always been "take my time to design something". That seems to ...

Re: Friday Facts #414 - Spoils of Agriculture


I think I will like the spoil mechanic.

I still do not like how some parts of Gleba terrain looks. Everything that looks slimy and bubbly, half-dead and warty is really repulsive. Some parts will trigger trypophobia. It's designed to be disgusting in an alien way. It doesn't have to be that way ...

Re: Friday Facts #413 - Gleba



Wouldn't it be great if the rain actually did something, rather than just looked nice. Like filling up lakes so you have to contend with flooding (unless you pump it out), or water collectors which only fill when it's raining. Or even hazards like acid rain which damage things if you don't ...
