I am strongly against this.

There are two types of recycling:

1. "Recycling to destroy." If you have too much of something (for example, ice) and no use for it, you just keep recycling it until it is gone.
2. Recycling to obtain lower tier materials.

(Actually, there is a third type as well ...

There is no justification for this change that is even remotely reasonable.


Thought it was obvious that it's because Space Casino is far and away the best strategy to get Legendary materials and once you have it set up you never have to touch it again. For many players it becomes one singular ...

If you don't like them , you can always, not use them x) i have real hard time understanding those players that don't want the others to have fun with a strategy that they don't even use themselves. like why ? Do they consider only what is fit to their own appeciation of difficulty. It's very ...

There is none so entitled as the guy who's paid a whole fifty-five bucks for a game.
Once you've forked over that kind of money, you're practically a part-owner of the company, and should be consulted on every decision. :roll:


Entitled? Factorio wouldn't exist without the community. Wube ...

And the timing couldn't be worse. Finishing the development with a huge disappointment for a large part of the community, refusing to even address it in writing, and then doubling down to make it even worse.

How will I remember Factorio? As a game that I played for over a thousand hours, or as a ...

thank you wube!!!!

I know this could be the last or 2nd to last FFF...but I sure hope not.

best of luck on future endeavors

That being said, the idea of not allowing it because "thats not how the game was intended to be played" seems like absolute nonsense. If people dont want to do it, they wont do it. People like me, never cared enough to even try it. People who think its cheating won't do it. Also, its not exactly ...

And Factorio is a non competitive, mostly single player game, and partially a sandbox.


I don't really get this argument. you guys are right though. it doesn't matter. it's not competitive...we're not competing... just play how you want. play in sandbox. play with mods. use /c.

also (not ...

I had to dust off the webs of my account just to make a post. It shows a real lack of game testing if you want to remove space casinos in any way. Apparently yall don't play your game, because it is literally the only thing left to do at endgame besides mindlessly expanding for no reason (which is ...

I personally don't like the idea of rocket logistics auto-requesting more materials than required - if I wanted more, I would have asked for it, especially with the new ability to set requests directly.

Everything else sounds great tho, a lot of really nice QOL in there.


saw that and thought ...

I was so excited to see a new FFF I had to stop and finish all my chores and get a snack before actually reading :D

well, can't say I expected any major changes or additions to the game but QoL changes I still look forward to.

As always, thank you for the amazing game...that is now finished. I ...

personally, I think most (maybe not all) of the "QoL" mods should be left as mods. I love that there is very little "hand holding" in Factorio, and I fear it could be a slippery slope if they start adding things like "Far Reach" or "Automatic Underground Pipe Connectors", etc.. Maybe I'm weird but I ...

I don't mean to harp on you I know that is a fairly high price for a video game but it kind of makes me sad the game's price is so controversial, in general. Almost the only bad reviews the game has is because its price.

it's actually such great value. Factorio is a game you can easily play for ...

Stay hopeful, I'm pretty sure they said somewhere that they will fix all bugs before 2.1, and every minor patch that comes out is still bug fixes.

I'm mostly happy with Space Age, although as somebody who can get pretty overwhelmed easily I find it very hard to plan things with the Quality system. I almost just shut down and had to go on a year break...but now I am actually making a lot of Legendary items; probably not in the most efficient ...

Hi, this is for a 1-2-1 train, or any train that is 4 total in length, I suppose. Size is 96 x 96

I don't have a lot of experience making intersections, so maybe this isn't perfect. I'm open to input/suggestions, or if somebody else wants to improve it that is fine too. I came up with this on my ...

I don't see the issue as there are 5 tiers. If it was just one tier, I think it'd be a little too late.

getting the final tiers later in the game gives you something to look forward to and potentially work on.

Just pretend the last one or two tiers aren't there... You can still go up to 3 ...

Alright, I have to say it: Space Age being a DLC is absurd. Ten years later, we’re handed this massive expansion that’s practically a new game in itself—new planets, space travel, tons of content that easily outscales the base game—and they slap on a purple DLC ribbon like it's a minor update. I ...

I know it's probably disheartening to see a lot of negativity for the devs, but I would be lying if I said this seemed like a good and interesting change (still not a huge fan of fluids 2.0 in general). But I guess I will not know 100% until I play SA.

As others have said, it seems random ...

People are still discussing "fun vs. realism" topic while i have a strong feeling it was a deliberate misdirection to distract people from the real change that was made to the game.


agreed. "fun" vs "realism" is just a distraction.

Even if fluids 2.0 is more realistic It's not realistic in ...
