"Just" being able to toggle the fluid system is completely infeasible, sorry. I'm 99% sure that it is only "completely infeasible" because devs didn't have the player choice in mind from the start. It's not physically impossible to implement, you/they just didn't account for tha...

One step forward, two steps back Pipelines are constrained to a 250x250 tile area Cool feature if it wasn't for the fact that the game highlights for you where the issue is so you don't have to think about it. It's a puzzle that literally shows you the solution for itself. Imagine if your science pr...

If the numbers in the wiki are correct I highly doubt that it's the case. A Nuclear Reactor can store up to 5GJ of heat energy, the fuel cell has 8GJ of energy, multipled with the neighbour bonus, so in a 2x2 setup it has 24GJ. Heat exchangers and heat pipes have 1/10 of the heat capacity of the re...

I already described you a situation where reading steam will be lossless while reading temperature won't to which you didn't reply. The only way to have losses is if the reactor is burning fuel while at 999°C. You do not have losses if you heat up the reactor while your steam is full, you just stor...

The steam itself was always just an indicator because we could not read the reactor temperature directly. Now the logic is simply insert fuel if reactor fuel is 0 and temperature is <= 500° or something in that range. But that's not how (smart/lossless) steam battery setup works. It shouldn't resta...

Granted, I may have designed it wrong, but when I played with reactor setups in AB/Seablock , there was always a delay in maximum power while the reactors ramp up. So in a 2GW setup with cold reactors and zero steam, the immediately available power was lower. To have maximum power always available ...

So how would reading the temperature or the amount of fuel cells let you make the same setup without steam reading? Both values have no relation to the amount of steam being produced and it's always the same amount you can't change or save, only waste. The steam itself was always just an indicator ...

With the new fluid system and these changes reactors become a little bit easy. For a „compensation“ could they make booom reaching 1000°C ? Or reducing health at a rate faster than possible repairing? Idk but they were only ever really complicated if you wanted to save on fuel, so what you are aski...

It is indeed a standard practice that benefits the developer, I think having more content and a game optimized while the price doesn't increase because i bought it early and the devs keep working on it while not trying to make me buy a DLC during few years is a practice that benefit me. I have well...

If the price is lowered at some point, why put it back up ? according to you ? isn't that what a sale is ? how do you justify the second part of putting back up the price then ? Yes, I was talking about the sale discounts. I wasn't suggesting for a price to go lower indefinitely, I was referring to...

Yet another "new" thing I've already seen and experienced in the Space Exploration mod

While good on its own this addition is yet another "new" thing I already experienced in Space Exploration, including the thermofluid mechanic.

I like the Display Panel and the fact that it functions like a combinator (great for debugging) but the actual display being less than 1x1 block is too small, this needs to be 2x2/have a 2x2 variant to be able to catch your eye in all the visual noise. In the fff-419-display-monitor-use-case.mp4 vid...

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. At the base gameplay level this change is nothing short of straight up simplification of the fluid handling....

It's really disappointing to see a game that use to embrace its niche begin to lower the bar for mass appeal. This. Seeing so much of gameplay aspects get simplified (combinators, trains, rails, etc.) with every month of FFFs makes me glad I've experienced Factorio at 1.x. Now i wonder if in a simi...

This isn't fluids 2.0, it's fluids 0.5. Absolutely horrendous decision, it completely removes the complex logistical puzzles related to fluids which were also unique to each big overhaul. The flow was an original mechanic with which you had to experiment, learn and master it, be aware of it's aspect...
