I both agree and disagree. In general I agree that one of the greatest weaknesses of 2.0 + SA is the lack of particular kind of distinct satisfaction. In regular Factorio, you start as a newbie and you make some giant pot of spaghetti. But you pull through, and after you have some experience tucked ...

TL;DR
With the new set recipe and fluid pump filters, it is tempting to do clever things like share infrastructure between cracking and lubricant but it is made difficult because lubricant doesn't have a recipe signal.


What?
It was a bit frustrating working on my integrated smart cracking ...

You specifically mentioned Steam in your original post. Family Sharing is not a "free extra copy of the game" as far as the Steam game store is concerned. If you both are using Steam to launch Factorio simultaneously, you will need 2 licenses. Family sharing just means that the license can be ...

You can Family Share Factorio as well as Space Age, however , a single Steam license for the game can only be played by one player simultaneously. If you want to play space age multiplayer with your family at the same time you will need two copies of Factorio and two copies of Space Age. Family ...

I really like it. Very clean.

This feature has been discussed before and the devs commented at the time that it is essentially construction bots without construction bots and it takes too much away from that game feature.

I was just thinking about this same feature request. Additionally some kind of checkbox on the blueprint to shortcut filling in all gaps with this deconstruction marker would be nice.

Changes

Achievement logistic-network-embargo updated with different condition for base game and space age.



Was it intentional, that the achievement also got undone after the update? I had the achievement since before 1.0 and it's still marked as "done" on steam. But ingame it's marked ...

Good luck with the launch.

I think the trailer would have been better if it had a less explicit script and relied on showing the viewer more than telling them.

"Launch materials into space to construct giant space platforms"
"Travel to 4, all-new worlds"
"Solve new logistics challenges"
"Unlock ...

This thread is almost performance art.

I was one of the people expressing my doubts about the fluid teleportation introduced in the previous FFF. After thinking about it for a while, I decided that the change wouldn't be too bad and was totally understandable. Pretty amazing that Wube has managed ...

There seems to be a lot of "realism" vs "fun" but it seems like the real concern is the novel puzzles introduced by fluids and how fun they are.

Fluids seemed to introduce three puzzles previously:
1) How do you connect a bunch of ports to assemblers and chem plants in an area already packed with ...

I was not expecting the spoilage mechanic. It looks great to me and I look forward to designing assembly lines to optimize for Throughput divided by Latency. I'd have to play it a bit first, but it does seem like the visual clutter of the white bars might be a bit much. But then again, spoilable ...
